Blade & Soul Celebrates Its 4th Anniversary

It's birthday time in Blade & Soul and that means in-game celebrations. On January 22, the Blade & Soul team will be kicking off special anniversary events and giving away some sweet in-game packs.

On that date, players level 10 and higher will be given the 4th-anniversary pack. There are a few caveats, though. First, you'll need to have created your character prior to January 13. So if you haven't played Blade & Soul yet and were thinking on it, you'll be missing out on that particular item. Players also need to register ahead of time to receive the pack.

The same day, players will be able to enter the limited time-hunting area, Hunter's Refuge. This zone is both PvP and PvE and can be accessed from 8 pm to 10 pm server time every day through February 19.

Players can also upgrade their weapons during the event, as well as potentially get their hand on a special cosmetic gift. A full rundown of the anniversary festivities is available on the game's site -- where you can also find information on a special sweepstakes wherein the prize is a special pair of red and black Blade & Soul-themed Nikes.
