Luminous Casks


What are "Luminous Casks"?
Launched in February 2013 during Tyrannia Plot, Luminous Casks can be found randomly while battling the waves of opponents in the Tyrannia Plot/War. There are different colors of Luminous Casks and they contain different sets of faction related items. You use a Silver Cask Key to open up the Luminous Casks. It is random which item you get from faction set, but you will not get duplicates.

Orange Luminous Cask

Purple Luminous Cask

Important Notes:
-Once a new wave/cask is released, you can no longer get the older colors of casks.
-You do not need to battle the newest challengers to receive the newest casks. Battling the easiest opponents will still earn you casks when the new colours come out.


How do I participate?
You can buy Silver Cask Keys at the NC Mall. They can be found under the Specialty tab. They are 125 NC each. 1 key will open up 1 cask. For more information, see the FAQ below.
