New Stone, Sky, Sea Battle Challenge
This is a new battle challenge that provides three minutes on the clock for players to beat a training dummy. There are no rewards here, but players should find this battle challenge useful as it will test their skill rotations.
The Stone, Sky, Sea challenge has several levels. A different dummy represents each level of difficulty.
New Dungeons
Two new dungeons will be added to the game, the Antitower and The Lost City of Amdapor (Hard). The Antitower is an upside down dungeon, but not much detail has been revealed regarding The Lost City of Amdapor.
New Beast Tribe Daily Quests
Yoshida announced that daily quests from Gnath are coming to the game. Like the Vanu Vanu quests, the level adjust system will also be implemented here.
He also revealed two flying mounts. The first one is a flying mount used by the Gnath, which looked part reptile, part dragonfly. The other one is the Adamantoise mount, which will be able to fly when Patch 3.2 rolls out.
New PvP The Feast
This is the new PvP mode that will arrive with the update. To play The Feast, players need to be ranked Level 60 and have an item level of at least 150. There are also specific party composition requirements that need to be met whether it consists of four or eight players. Basically, a party must meet the required melee and ranged DPS to play The Feast.

Alexander also receives a new installment with the upcoming update. In Alexander: Midas, both Normal and Savage modes will be added simultaneously.
