Bright & Dark New Rewards

When you walk through the glowing door in /UltraGramielHub, your consciousness will be taken to an alternate world... one where Gramiel re-ascended and attracted the attention of his creator. Aid the Hollowborn to defeat Gramiel the Graceless, our newest ultra boss, and in return, you'll be able to craft the Hollowborn Vindicator Class and gear!

The Shadow Fiend Calls to You

Our newest Ultra Boss, Gramiel the Graceful arrives. Defeat him (or complete an alternative farming quest) to be one step closer to obtaining the Hollowborn Vindicator Class! 

In keeping with the spirit of the Hollowborn lore, this is the first class in AQWorlds history to have color-customizable class icons AND attack animations!

How to Unlock the Hollowborn Vindicator Class

If you are at least level 80, Hollowborn Vindicator can be unlocked by obtaining four Condensed Grace. Condensed Grace can be only acquired from two weekly quests:

1. Turn in 5 Gramiel Insignias, some Hollow Soul, Vindicator Badge, Grace Orb, Vindicator Crest, and Gramiel's Emblem (and more) for 1 Condensed Grace.
2. Turn in a larger quantity of Hollow Soul, Vindicator Badge, Grace Orb, Vindicator Crest, and Gramiel's Emblem (and more) for 1 Condensed Grace. 

However, you can only do ONE of these quests per week, so it's up to you to decide which one to do. This means the class will take at least 4 weeks to obtain.

See the full Class Skills breakdown in this post!

Gramiel's Merge Rewards
