Lineage 2M Big Update: Server Invasion, New Legend Classes, and Epic Skillbook Rewards
The world of L2M Diamonds is about to get a major shake-up. NCSoft has confirmed several exciting features coming soon to the game, including Catacomb Heretic Solo reward changes, a new Server Invasion PvP mode, the release of multiple New Legend Classes, and the addition of an Epic Skillbook Selection Chest via the Temple Mission.
If you've been playing casually or grinding daily, this is the perfect time to get ready-because the incoming patch will reward both PvE farmers and PvP warriors in big ways. Here's a breakdown of everything we know.
1. Catacomb Heretic Solo-Reward Upgrade
For many players, the Catacomb Heretic has been a consistent source of gear materials and crystals. With the next update, solo runs of the Heretic Catacomb will be even more rewarding thanks to an overhaul of its loot table.
After the patch, expect Relic of Blessing and Quality Crystaloid among the rewards. While this isn't a game-breaking upgrade, it makes farming Catacomb more valuable-especially for players who want to stockpile crystaloids for crafting or trade.
Skin card drops are also planned for the future, but those may arrive later in a separate update. Overall, it's a quality-of-life improvement that ensures your solo grind time pays off a little more.
2. Server Invasion-Cross-Server PvP Meets Boss Hunts
The biggest buzz in the community right now is around the upcoming Server Invasion feature-a large-scale event that blends cross-server PvP with world boss fights.
Here's how it works:
Scheduled Events-Server Invasions happen at specific times (check your in-game boss schedule for exact hours).
Location Rotation-Bosses will spawn across multiple zones, such as Feora Ruins, Normus, and Sell Hoden.
Cross-Server Matchmaking-You'll be grouped with other servers in your world cluster. For example, Barts players may face Barts, Kain, Teon, or Leona players depending on matchmaking.
PvP Enabled-While fighting bosses, expect enemy players to try and contest your kills, steal loot, or disrupt your team.
Notable Boss Drops:
Normus-Tate'sian Belt, Accuracy Stones, Majestic accessories.
Sell Hoden-Pagrio Flame gloves (huge skill damage boost and critical damage on hit), part of a set with 15% stun resistance.
Other Bosses-Rare Sigils, Legend crafting recipes, Ink of Mana materials, and more.
One key thing to remember: Some materials (like Ink of Mana) require 20 crystal pieces before you can craft them, so expect to commit to multiple Invasion events if you want the top-tier loot.
Server Invasion isn't just about farming-it's a test of teamwork, PvP coordination, and quick decision-making. If your clan can hold boss aggro and survive the PvP chaos, you'll walk away with some of the strongest gear in the game.
3. New Legend Classes-Six Powerful Additions
One of the most exciting parts of this update is the release of New Legend-tier classes across multiple weapon types. Based on early banners and leaks, here's the lineup and their specialties:
Sword / Dual Blade
Regina-Primary Sword, secondary Dual Blade. Unique purple specialization that boosts damage against stunned targets. Also has movement speed and double chance buffs.
Scry Day (Dual Blade)-Weapon block +5%, multiple resistance boosts, and increased melee damage reduction. Great for sustained frontline damage.
Dagger
Area-STR 28, specializes in stacking critical hit rate up to +15%, while reducing enemy critical resistance. A deadly pick for assassins.
Bow
Lionel-DEX 28, AGI 25, specializes in boosting casting speed by 50% and has a chance to fire an additional arrow on hit. Perfect for burst ranged DPS.
Orb
Solina-INT 27, WIS 27. Specializes in debuffing enemy critical rate and boosting magic defense against undead.
Staff
Ve-INT 28, WIS 26, with a unique AoE silence trigger on casting. Great for disrupting enemy mages in PvP.
Each class comes with both their standard red specialization effects and unique purple ones that change gameplay significantly. From higher crit stacking on assassins to AoE silence for mages, these Legends are going to reshape both PvE metas and high-end PvP compositions.
4. Epic Skillbook Selection Chest-Choose Your Power
A brand-new Epic Skillbook Selection Chest is coming to the Temple Mission shop, allowing players to directly choose a red-grade skillbook for their class.
How it works:
One-time Purchase-Each character can buy this chest only once.
Cost-3 million Guild Coins.
Class-Specific Skills-The chest contains multiple options per weapon type.Examples of Available Skills:
Sword-Battle Tom, Double Shock, Iron Wheel, Toast of Life.
Bow-Destin Mana Seeker, Entangle.
Staff-Cancellation, Snowstorm, Restore Casting.
Orb-Judgement, Improve Orb, Divine Spark.
Dagger-Assassination Vision, Shadow Blade, Venom.
Dual Blade-Fury, Sonic Blaster, Triple Slash.
For PvP-focused players, this is a chance to fill in missing skillbooks without relying on luck or event drops. For PvE grinders, it's a long-term goal to save Guild Coins and power up your class.
5. How to Prepare for the Update
With so many features dropping at once, it's worth planning ahead to get the most out of the new content:
Stockpile Potions & Buffs-Server Invasion bosses are tanky, and PvP will make fights longer. Bring enough consumables to sustain extended battles.
Coordinate with Your Clan-These events are far easier (and more rewarding) with organized teams.
Save Guild Coins-If you're eyeing the Epic Skillbook Chest, start saving now-3 million coins isn't a quick grind.
Gear for PvP-Since Invasion is cross-server PvP, prioritize stun resistance, movement speed, and survivability gear.
Test New Classes on Paper-Review each Legend's specializations and decide if you'll reroll or stick to your current class.
Final Thoughts
This upcoming Lineage 2M Diamonds for sale update is shaping up to be one of the most content-packed patches in recent memory.

Whether you're a PvE farmer, a PvP veteran, or someone chasing endgame collections, there's something here to keep you busy. Just be ready-because when the invasion starts, the competition for bosses, loot, and glory will be fierce.
