Awakening will give players the first new maps to explore since launch as you delve further into the heart of darkness to stomp out the corruption that lays at the center of Wraeclast. New weapons and sets will guide you along, with 70 exquisitely sculpted new armaments (including a brand new set, titled Maraketh) and with new weapons come a wealth of new skill gems that will grant bonuses like warcries and summoning golems.
