We love to party, you love to party so let's get on with the ArcheAge celebrations! We've shared memories exploring vast lands and ocean, crafting massive sieges and storming castles, battling World Bosses, or simply claiming your land and laying the foundation of your destiny. Together let's celebrate on both Legacy and Unchained with these special 6th Anniversary Events as a THANK YOU to the best community!

Starting on September 10th, you will be able to complete several daily quests to receive Festival Coins. During the event period, exchange these Coins for various items at the Festival Coin Exchanger.

How do I participate?

Head to Mirage Isle and look for the NPCs Dalister and Nalambi, where you can accept up to 7 unique daily quests. The quests will require you to use emotes, collect currencies like Honor or Vocation, complete a dungeon and raid, or even capture a flag on a hiking trip! Completing all quests will provide you with an achievement and a 6th Anniversary Cake Hat!

Please keep in mind that only characters of level 30 or higher can participate in this event. A portal to Mirage Isle can be found throughout Erenor in most cities, towns, and safe zones.

Please note: The team is aware that 3 of the quests of this event contain "DO NOT TRANSLATE" strings and wish to clarify what these quests are and their objective.
The Quest "Hello fishies" requires you to deliver 6 Gilda Stars to Nalambi.
The Quest "Daru works hard, even today works hard" requires you to utilize 2190 labor.

What can I exchange the coins for?

The following items will be available for exchange:



Additionally, players on Legacy will be able to exchange 20 Coins for Manastorm Crystal x1.

This event will come to an end on September 24th at 1 AM UTC (6 PM PDT). The Coins and the Exchanger will disappear on October 15th during the regular maintenance, so be sure to exchange all of your Festival Coins before then.


Beginning September 11th, all users who log in and stay online for six minutes during the event period will receive a 6th Anniversary Giftbox. Claim yours by clicking the button in the lower-left corner.

The Anniversary Giftbox can be obtained once per day, so remember to log in and play daily to get the best out of it!

*This item will be removed during regular maintenance on September 24th.

Although this event ends on September 16th at 1 AM UTC (6 PM PDT), you will still have the opportunity to open your acquired 6th Anniversary Giftboxes until September 24th. During the maintenance on September 24th, the box will be destroyed, so be sure to make use of it before time runs out!

Let's toast to an amazing year with ArcheAge and see you in-game!

It's contest time! The ArcheAge team would love to see your concepts and put them into ArcheAge and ArcheAge: Unchained. We would like you to design a costume concept under the theme of the "Akasch"! While their specific appearance isn't well known, you've certainly seen their evil, power-thirsty influence in places like the Ipnysh Sanctuary. These towering ancient beings had tails and preferred Geometric structures in their architecture, but other than being roughly 3 times the size of your average adventurer there isn't much more that we've learned about them.

However, beginning September 4th the team wants to see your interpretations and creations of this theme in the form of a Costume!




Design a costume under the theme of the "Akasch", it can be to look similar to them or channel the power of them. Either way, your costume has to look awesome for a chance to win. Our preferred medium is through drawings but it is your choice whether it's on paper or digital art. A front and back of the costume are preferred, other angles certainly are a bonus! Once your costume concept is designed, submit your design idea here! The team will review each drawing and select winners.




There is a little something for everyone. The first prize winner of this contest will have their Costume put into ArcheAge with their name on it and 10000 Credits! As the winner, you'll receive your costume on a character of your choice on ArcheAge or ArcheAge: Unchained once it's been created. Our second-place winner will receive 5000 Credits, third place will receive 1500 Credits, and all other entrants will receive an Admin's Candy as a thank you for participating.




- All costume designs must be of the theme of the 'Akasch' and have a front and back view of the concept.
- All entries must be a digital drawing or drawing on paper of the costume design
- All entries must be posted to the forum thread here During the event period of September 4th and September 23rd 11:59 UTC.
- You can enter as many times as you like, but you can only receive one reward.
- Please follow our Code of Conduct and Terms of Service (no nudity, racism, etc.)




The winning costume design will be created by XLGames and will make it's way into the ArcheAge. However, this process is not instant, the winner will receive the item once it is fully created and be credited for the design in the description. The winner will receive this costume for free, but it may be available via purchase for other players (even in other versions) in the future.

Update: The team was asked if there is a way two names get added to the winner's costume description if, as an example, one person was providing the idea and the other one is designing it.
The answer is yes, BUT only a team of 2 will be accepted. They will have to provide a name for their team/duo, which will be used for the description, should they win.

Should a duo be selected as a winner, both members will receive the full rewards.
