Sky Noon is something else. Imagine an alternate western-themed world where all water has vanished, so the people take to the sky to farm moisture from the clouds. Two rival factions fight over the floating landmass/dirigibles, but instead of bullets in your six-shooter, you’ll use a variety of air-powered weapons to try and knock the opposing team off the islands and into oblivion.

In the clouds above the Floating Isles, there is a prison called Mistvane Shrine that can be discovered by Dark & Light adventurers.

It will be a battle to the end, but a lucrative one for those who persevere.
When ArcheAge “Legends Return” debuts next week, it will come with a new Shadow Invasion. These invasions will begin after any of the eight world bosses are defeated. Immediately after the world boss falls, new enemies will crop up that will require a minimum of ten players at 6K Equipment Score. Each Shadow Invasion has an underboss that is specific to that type of invasion and, once defeated, will drop a rare crafting material that can be made into a “valuable new trade pack”.
