Shattering of Ro was the 32nd expansion, released December 2, 2025.

Players were pleased to see that the raid count was increased back up to the traditional nine (9) raids, but there were still only four (4) Group Missions (traditionally, there are eight (8) group missions).

Other than via a portal / spell, access into this expansion is from The Wakening Lands (/waypoint 500, -1045, -20... a burning tree beside the entrance to the Plane of Growth). There is also a connection to Arcstone, Shattered Isles from West Freeport., but is locked with progression (Candlemaker's Workshop Mercenary & Partisan).

PRE-RELEASE EVENT

There was a Pre-Release Event in The Wakening Lands. There was an NPC (a cowering raider) who would talk to you about magical storms, but gave no task / quest. In the zone hidden among the many trees, there were four (40) 'Magical Storm' types. If you stood in one, you would get a song window effect that was a short duration Air, Earth, Fire or Water illusion (depending on which Magical Storm you stood in). Hailing a cowering raider afterwards (with or without an illusion) resulted in the same chat spam. No reward (no achievement, no item, no tile, no XP.... nothing). It has been suggested that a more complete event was planned but was then delegated as just 'flavor' due time constraints. At least it directed Players to one of the gateways for this expansion (the Scarred Grove zone line is in The Wakening Lands) and 'previewed' the new 'magical storms.'

The Shattering of Ro added:

FACTION: There was a return of actual Faction (that had been missing from recent expansions). In the start zone (Scarred Grove) there is more than one opposing faction (basically in Scarred Grove there is neutral, evil & good camps). Pick a side!
MERC GEAR: New Mercenary gear (rare random drop from most any MoB).
POWER SOURCES: New Level 129 Required 'Riven Arcana' Power Sources (dropped from named aka 'rare' MoB's and in Missions). They drop as a 'Sealed' version and stack to twenty (2) in their 'Sealed' form.
NEW LEVELS: Five (5) new Player Levels (max Level 130), which also means:
- New Level (VI) of Glyph AA's;
- New cap on unspent Mercenary AA's is 65;
- New cap on when AA's can no longer be earned is 260;
- New cap on maximum stored and unspent AA's is 390.
SHARED BANK SLOTS: Two (2) additional Shared Bank Slots, for a new total of eight (8) Shared Bank slots.
NEW CLASS / RACE COMBO: Vah Shir can now be Druids!
NEW 'WILD MAGIC' AA'S: There are three new 'Wild Magic' AA's (under the 'Special' AA Category) related to Magical Storms (with requirements... see images below).
- The Wild Magic: Destroy AA is awarded upon completing the quest, 'Shattered Tears: The Third Fragment,' which means completing the Achievement: Partisan of Ruined Relic.
  - This AA is activated (hot button or /alt act 15077) and can destroy certain Magical Storms.
- The Wild Magic: Unleash AA is awarded upon completing the quest, 'The Silence of Druzzil Ro,' which means completing the Achievement: Partisan of Arcstone, Shattered Isles.
  - This AA is activated (Hot Button or /alt act 15076) summons a 'Chaotic Storm.' Players standing in this storm receive buffs that drain Mana, Endurance or Hit Points while regenerating your Mana, Endurance or Hit Points (depending on the effect you get). It also adds a chance for melee & spell attacks to Proc a DD on opponents.
- The Wild Magic: Attunement is a three-Level AA.
  - Two (2) Levels are awarded from the the two Quests noted above.
  - The third is awarded from the quest, 'Storm Chasing,' which is part of the Achievement: Partisan of Scarred Grove.
  - This AA is passive and, when empowered by a Chaotic, Wild or Disturbance (stand in a Magical Storm), it adds a percentage boost to your Procs, melee attacks and spells.

MAJOR CHANGE TO CLASS RELATED SLOT 3 AUGMENTATIONS: The Slot 3 Augmentations related to Class Disciplines, Songs and Spells have essentially been eliminated.
- New class related 'Faycite Focus Shard' click items have been added.
  - These items has a 'Claim Reward' button 'that will grant you a 'Select a Reward' window.
  - The reward window will allow you to select which Class Benefit you want. Once selected, each category will award you a new AA (in the Focus Tab) that is specific to the selection you made.
  - You will need to buy one (1) of these items for every class related category.
  - The AA(s) provides the same benefit that a Slot 3 Augmentation would have provided. Great news for classes that had more Slot 3's than they had slots for!
- These items are sold in Scarred Grove by class related Spell / Song / Discipline Vendors (all are on 'Find'). Just be wary of which one you go to, due faction.

NEW MODELS include some updates / modifications to in-game Deities.
