“

Though they have yet to determine how such a thing could even be possible, the expedition is nevertheless certain that the place they have dubbed Eureka is none other than the Isle of Val, previously believed to have been obliterated by a powerful magick. Having completed their survey of Anemos, the expedition now turns its sights to a new region: Pagos, a mountainous frozen waste filled with untold dangers...

How to acquire items to upgrade

•   Frosted Protean Crystal: Collect vitiated aether by killing Notorious Monsters and level-appropriate trash mobs in Eureka Pagos, then turn it in at the Crystal Forge in Eureka Pagos (6.0, 21.5). You will receive one   Frosted Protean Crystal for each full charge of vitiated aether.
  • You must have acquired the vitiated aether kettle from Gerolt by completing the level 25 quest in Eureka Pagos and obtaining at least one Anemos weapon before you can receive vitiated aether. However, you do not need to have the weapon of interest equipped to obtain vitiated aether.
  • The kettle can hold a maximum of 9 charges of vitiated aether. If it starts to get full, be sure to turn it in so none gets wasted!
•   Pagos Crystal: These are acquired by killing Notorious Monsters in Eureka Pagos. The higher level the Notorious Monster, the more crystals it will drop.
•   Louhi's Ice: 2 chunks will drop each time you complete the FATE Louhi on Ice with gold medal credit in Eureka Pagos, which requires you to kill the notorious monster Louhi. Louhi's Ice can also be purchased from the Expedition Birdwatcher for 50   Pagos Crystals each.

Unlike Anemos, there is no armor set to work on in Pagos.

Other Rewards

•   Pagos Lockbox
•   Cold-warped Lockbox

The Eureka Effect

It is possible to obtain gear in Eureka Pagos that is enhanced with the Eureka Effect.

The Eureka Effect is only active in Eureka and may enhance the gear with special attributes not available to regular equipment at item level 300.

Notorious Monsters

Players may encounter notorious monsters that cannot be found in Eureka Anemos. Those who would engage them are advised to seek aid from other adventurers.

Defeating notorious monsters yields a great deal of elemental EXP, as well as various rewards.
