The Legacy of Crassus event is storming back into New World: Aeternum from March 11th to March 31st, 2025, bringing Roman-flavored chaos and some sweet loot. Whether you’re here to banish Cyclops captains or stack gold, this guide has you covered. We’ll walk you through the event—how it works, what you’ll earn—and then dive into smart investments to turn those rewards into profit. Let’s get into it!  

Event Overview: What’s the Deal?

General Crassus’ corrupted legacy is unleashed, with his Cyclops captains, Lucanus and Decimus, rampaging across Aeternum’s southern lands. Your mission: hunt them down, stop the Roman tyranny, and score event-themed goodies. It’s a world boss showdown—think big health bars, group fights, and a sprinkle of unique mechanics.  When: March 11th–31st, 2025  Where: Check your map for Cyclops icons. A pulsating ring means the event’s live—head there fast.  How: Team up, deal at least 1,000 damage per fight, and take down waves of mobs before facing the Cyclops duo.The lore’s juicy if you’re into it: Crassus is gone, but his loyal legionnaires are hellbent on conquest, summoning these stone-skinned brutes via Medusa’s curse and corruption. It’s a cool setup, but if story’s not your thing, skip to the action below.  

How to Participate: Step-by-Step

Spot the Event: Open your map—look for Cyclops icons in southern Aeternum. Pulsating ring = go time.  Join the Fight: Expect 10–20+ players per run. Start by clearing elite mobs and legionnaires.  Face the Bosses: Lucanus and Decimus spawn with more minions. Hack away—they’re tanky but manageable.  Score Rewards: Deal 1,000 damage to qualify. Melee’s fine, but ranged weapons help if you’re struggling.Pro tip: Hit recruitment chat early—groups farm this nonstop at launch. On quieter servers, you’ll need a squad, as soloing’s a pipe dream. Aim for three kills daily before the 5 AM local reset to max out bonus boxes.  

Rewards Breakdown: What You’ll Get

Every kill nets rewards, with extras for your first three daily victories. Here’s the haul:  

Standard Rewards (Unlimited):  

90% chance: Random weapon/armor (your level).  10% chance: Named item from Brimstone Sands or Aeternum.  Consumables (potions, food) for your level—sellable extras.

Normal Boxes (Per Kill):  

Gear score 700 weapon, armor, or shield.  Up to 3 Black Gypsum daily (for Gypsum Orbs).  Perk items (sell for profit).  2–3 potions (handy or marketable).

Bonus Boxes (First 3 Kills Daily):  

Guaranteed: 15 Dark Matter + gear score 700 Crassus-named item (e.g., Wrath of Decimus, Sagittar of Lucanus).  33% chance: Extra named item.  30% chance: Gear score 710 Crassus item (1/week limit).  Event Uniques (1/event limit):  Golden Legion Pickaxe (2.5% chance, upgraded gear score).  Lucanus/Decimus Statuettes (2% chance, housing decor).
A pity system kicks in—every eight bonus boxes guarantees a unique or 710 item, shrinking the drop pool as you snag them. Nothing’s BiS-tier, but the transmogs and collectibles shine.  

What’s New in 2025?

Console players, this is your first rodeo—everything’s fresh! For PC vets, it’s mostly familiar. The Golden Legion Pickaxe gets a gear score bump (now 710), and old 700 drops can hit 710 too. Otherwise, it’s the same Cyclops-smashing fun—no major shake-ups. Farm for the uniques, and you’re good.  

Investment Plays: Turn Rewards into Gold

This event’s a goldmine if you play it right. Here’s what to stockpile or flip:  

Black Gypsum (Crafting Cash)

Up to three drop daily per normal box. They’re cheap now (under 10 gold), but expertise grinders will push prices to 20–30 gold mid-event. Buy low pre-March 11th, sell when demand peaks.  

Perk Items (Quick Profits)

Normal boxes spit out sellable perks (e.g., Whetstones). Snag them at 5–15 gold before the flood, flip for 20–40 gold as supply tightens. X users last year moaned about late shortages—time it right.  

Golden Legion Pickaxe (Transmog Rarity)

One-per-event, 2.5% drop chance. This mining tool’s a transmog flex—sold for 500–1,000 gold last cycle. Farm early or buy cheap post-dump (200–300 gold), then hold for collectors.  

Lucanus & Decimus Statuettes (Housing Hype)

2% drop, one-per-event. These decor pieces hit 300–600 gold last time as supply dwindled. Grab early or snipe low listings (100–200 gold) and sell late March.  

Crassus Named Gear (Salvage or Sell)

Gear score 700 items are guaranteed; 710s are rarer (30%, 1/week). Wrath of Decimus (axe) is solid for great axe builds—keep if it rolls well, or salvage for 15 Dark Matter (50–100 gold). 710 transmogs fetched 1,500 gold last year—hold for BiS hunters.

Why It Works: A Player’s Angle

I’ve farmed this event before, and the pattern’s clear: early grinders flood the market, then prices climb as casuals taper off. Black Gypsum and perks are safe bets—everyone needs crafting mats. Uniques like the pickaxe and statuettes bank on rarity—Reddit’s still buzzing from last year: “Statuettes were clutch after week one.” Gear’s a wildcard, but Dark Matter’s a steady earner. It’s low-risk, high-reward if you’re patient.  

Bonus Tip: Dark Matter Stacking

Bonus boxes drop 15 Dark Matter each, and salvaging 710 gear adds more. With gear score 700+ upgrades in demand, it’ll hit 80–120 gold per stack by late March. Hoard during runs—don’t sell cheap early. It’s a sleeper hit for funding your next big craft.
