The Ssaulabi Sword arrived with a tenfold increase in the required Ash of Asitazio compared to the past, and it also demands Fire Dragon Scales as a crafting material. While it was initially expected to take a long time to craft, the appearance of these materials in the Phoenix Cube has significantly accelerated the timeline. Many streamers are now purchasing the ash and scales to craft and 'rush' (enhance) the Ssaulabi Sword. It is now even possible to craft Fire Dragon Scale Armor and Water Dragon Scale Armor for those who set their minds to it. With the Oren update looming—as if to signal the need for stronger weapons and sturdier armor—we kick off this week's Lineage Weekly.

■ Ash of Asitazio and Fire Dragon Scales from the Phoenix Cube! Craft the Ssaulabi Sword

The Ssaulabi Sword was renowned for its incredible performance in the original game. Immediately after its release, it seemed destined to be forgotten due to the difficulty of gathering materials, but the ability to obtain them through cubes has led many streamers to buy up supplies and begin crafting in earnest. One player even successfully created a +9 Ssaulabi Sword by crafting continuously in the Earth Dragon's Lair and using Weapon Enchant Scrolls (Day).

Some users chose armor over weapons. A user in one community made headlines by crafting +5 Fire Dragon Scale Armor. While the price of purchasing all the materials remains a burden, the increased accessibility of core components suggests we will see more Ssaulabi Swords and Scale Armor in the near future.

■ The Ivory Tower Approaches! Oren Update Preview

The Oren update is scheduled for June 4. As the region corresponding to Episode 11 of the original Lineage, it consists of snowy plains and grasslands located northeast of the Fire Dragon's Lair. It will also feature the Ivory Tower, a unique structure where the town and hunting grounds coexist within a single building.

The eight-story Ivory Tower functions as a town on floors 1-3, where players can buy, sell, and acquire magic items. From the 4th floor up, it becomes a dungeon where monsters appear, with increasingly powerful foes found on higher levels.

Beyond the tower, there is a separate Ivory Tower Village, along with the Crystal Cave—a new three-story dungeon—and various new spells. However, since the timing of magic and skill updates in Lineage Classic differs from the existing live servers, we will need to wait until the update goes live to confirm exactly which spells will be added.

■ Born a Slave, Die a King! The Approaching Siege Warfare

Celebrating its 100th day since launch, Lineage Classic has shared a message of gratitude and announced the prelude to Siege Warfare, often called the 'flower of Lineage.' Siege warfare is a highlight of the game, going beyond simple battles between guilds to reshape the server's economy and power structure. The guild that captures the castle can collect taxes from shops within the territory, gaining both immense wealth and prestige.

True to the slogan 'Born a slave, die a king,' siege warfare offers ordinary guild members the chance to join forces and challenge the pinnacle of the server. With powerful equipment like the Ssaulabi Sword and Scale Armor currently being crafted, the first siege is expected to be an intense display of firepower. As players speculate on which guild will break through the sealed gates to become the first to claim the throne, the air is already thick with the tension of war.
