Amazon Games Reveals the Return of New World: Aeternum’s Legacy of Crassus Event, March 11 to March 31

Amazon Games has revealed the return of the Legacy of Crassus event to New World: Aeternum, running from March 11-31.

The battle is more intense than ever—Crassus is stronger, more relentless, and will test your strength like never before. But with greater challenges come even greater rewards—rise to the fight and reap the spoils. Prepare for an extra week of battle and enhanced rewards, including new Gear Score (GS) 710 versions of Crassus’ loot!

Event Updates & New Rewards

Extended Battle Period

The Legacy of Crassus event will now run for an additional week, giving players more time to take on Crassus’ forces and earn rewards. The event will now conclude on March 31, 2025.

Loot System Enhancements

We’ve improved the loot drops to ensure more meaningful progression:

• New Loot: We’ve introduced GS 710 versions of Crassus’ exclusive weapons and armor, giving players even more powerful rewards.
• Loot Limiter for Balance: To maintain fairness and challenge, players can only earn one GS 710 item per day.

Reward Spotlight

Triumph over these level 70 vicious brutes for event-specific items like Cyclops Statuettes, the 19th Legion Pickaxe, Lucanus weapons, and Decimus armour. Note that players must deal at least 1,000 damage to receive rewards. Each run gives you a Normal Box (Unlimited) and a Bonus Box (3/day).

Normal boxes have:

• GS700 random Weapon, Armor, or Shield
• Black Gypsum (~3/day)
• Perk Item (Brilliant Animus, Sliver of Consecrated Iron, Shard of Consecrated Iron, Drop of Corrupted Essence, Huge Elk Hoof, Drop of Ironwood Sap, Starmetal Weaponsmith's Charm, Whetstone, Squirming Vines)
• 2-3 Potions

Bonus boxes have:

• GS700 Crassus Named Item (Wrath of Decimus, Hoplites Great Blade, Sagittar of Lucanus, Vesuvius, Galea of Lucanus, Cuirass of Decimus, Fists of Decimus, Braccae of Lucanus, Hobnailed Boots of Lucanus)
• 2nd GS700 Crassus Named Item (33% Chance)
• 15 Dark Matter
• GS710 Crassus Named Item (30% chance) (1/week)
• 9th Legion Pickaxe (2.5% Chance) (1/event)
• Cyclops Lucanus Statuette (2.5% Chance) (1/event)
• Cyclops Decimus Statuette (2.5% Chance) (1/event)

After opening 8 boxes, you'll get a guaranteed drop of:

• GS710 Named Item (still locked by the 1/week limit)
• 19th Legion Pickaxe (still locked at 1/event)
• Cyclops Lucanus Statuette (still locked at 1/event)
• Cyclops Decimus Statuettes (still locked at 1/event)

Daily rewards reset at 5 a.m. local time. For example, if a player grabs one special cache at 4:58 a.m., they’ll be able to earn another at 5:01 a.m.

STANDARD REWARDS

Players will receive one of the following rewards each time they defeat Lucanus and Decimus. Unlike daily bonus rewards, players can slay the world boss multiple times in one day for additional rewards. Each victory rewards players with either:

• A random weapon or armour piece at their level (90% chance)
• A special Named item from Brimstone Sands or greater Aeternum (10% chance)
• Players will also get some level-appropriate consumables (health, mana, etc.)

See you in Aeternum!
