What If You Don’t Meet the Minimum Power Requirement?

Players will need to have unlocked Ravensthorpe to access Dawn of Ragnarok. If they don’t have Ravensthorpe unlocked yet, they are out of luck until they do. However, when players have Ravensthorpe unlocked and are under Power Level 340, they can still access the expansion. As mentioned previously, there is a Progression Boost available to all players that will make them ready for Ragnarok.

Players that are already at Power Level 340 or higher can access Dawn of Ragnarok like any other expansion. They are also able to bring back all the weapons, armor, and runes they collect in Svartalfheim.
