1. Added World Raids to Apsaranta.

  • World Raids only occur in operation sites occupied by the Elyos/Asmodians. 

Raid Info
Where	Around the former Apsaranta Operation Sites
Progress Time	More than 15 minutes
Raid End Time	If a successful defense for 15 minutes or a Reian NPC dies

When the Apsaranta World Raid begins, you will be guided through a system message. Later, the Apsu Legion Sky Assailants appear simultaneously around each of the operating sites. 

Apsu Legion Piercing Aircraft Emerges

When the Sky Assailant appears, a Reian NPC will also appear and attempt to take down its protective shield. At this time, the Apsu Legion, summoned from the Sky Assailant, along with the surrounding sub-legions, attack the Reian NPCs to prevent this from happening. If a Reian NPC is killed by the Apsu Legion, the World Raid will end in failure, so you will have to work hard to protect the Reians!
