Arise Crossover XMAS Update Guide – World 3, Codes, Gifts
World 3 – Endgame Expansion Explained
World 3 is now officially live and represents the next phase of Arise Crossover’s endgame.
Key details:
- Location: Monarch City (reimagined)
- Unlock requirement: Rank R+
- Designed specifically for high-end players
- Optimized for better performance and less lag
- Built for long, intense farming sessions
One major change is that the Giant Raid has been moved to World 3, centralizing all endgame activities into a single, high-performance zone.
World 3 Dungeon Changes
Dungeons in World 3 start at GM+ rank, which means:
- Higher-tier loot immediately
- Faster endgame progression
- Better efficiency for experienced players
This allows players to skip lower-tier farming loops and jump straight into meaningful rewards.
Zero Pass – Premium Progression System
The Zero Pass is the newest premium progression track and is designed for long-term endgame players.
Zero Pass highlights:
- 150 levels of rewards
- 3 new Shadows (extremely rare category)
- 1 new Weapon
- 3 new Mounts
- 1 exclusive Title
- Large amounts of high-tier resources
The Zero Pass is meant to significantly boost late-game power and is structured as a long-term investment rather than a short grind.
Winter Island – Christmas Event Zone
The Winter Island is a limited-time holiday zone focused on exclusive seasonal rewards.
What you can farm here:
- 3 new Shadows
- 4 new Relics
- Winter-only accessories
- Winter Shards (event currency)
Winter Island is fully accessible through grinding, making the event friendly to free-to-play players.
Winter Shards & Winter Shop
Winter Shards are the main currency of the Christmas event.
How to get Winter Shards:
- Defeat enemies on Winter Island
- Open gifts during grinding sessions
Winter Shop allows you to buy:
- Event-exclusive relics
- Christmas potions
- Special holiday boosts
This creates a direct and reliable path to event power without relying purely on RNG.
Gift System – Holiday Farming Mechanic
The new Gift System is a core part of the Christmas update.
How it works:
- Gifts spawn naturally while grinding
- Each gift contains random rewards
Possible gift rewards:
- Winter Shards
- Exclusive relics
- XP-style boosts

This system rewards active grinding and dramatically accelerates progression during the event.
