There’s a storm coming… It looks like bad news but may also bring hope, something to hold onto. This week, we will put your strength to the test. You will walk through fire and water to obtain the precious spoils of victory! But before that...
Oryx 3
Oryx’s Sanctuary remains hidden beyond the Wine Cellar, but there’s time to get a head start on preparing for the Mad God’s greatest challenge! To protect these chambers, Oryx has entrusted three runes among his legion of minions and beyond. When the time comes, you will need a Sword Rune, Shield Rune, and Helmet Rune to face the dungeon beneath. Act now to ensure you will be able to enter Oryx’s Sanctuary as soon as it reveals itself!
Upcoming events:
For the next three weeks, we will be hosting events in dungeons which after the release of Oryx 3 will be dropping Runes: Sword Rune, Shield Rune, Helmet Rune. Thanks to Chest Events some of you will be able to gather Runes before the O3 release and by cooperating with each other, enter Oryx 3 together after the release. In the first week we will be hosting events in the Court of Oryx dungeons, which will provide Shield Rune.

Campaign details:
Start: April 15th, 2020
End: May 6th, 2020 at 11:00 UTC
Grace Period: May 10th, 2020 at 11:00 UTC
How to progress:
First off, let’s remind you that you must unlock the Bonus Program in order to start accumulating points towards it! While it’s active, you will get to gather Exalt Token which will drop in various locations in the game. Once consumed (double-click), they will be counted towards the Bonus Program. These tokens stack to 10. Each token gives 50 points.
With the Bronze/ Silver/ Gold/ Tickets, you enter a raffle for ST sets of choice. 10 players per ticket type will win to a total of 30 players who will get to choose an ST set of choice!
FAQ:
Q: What is a Bonus Program/Rewards?
A: A Bonus Program/Rewards is a time limited event that can be accessed in the Shop. It allows players to collect Bonus Points (BP) by boosting campaign in the Shop (Gold/BP ratio 1:2) or consuming the Broken Ornaments they have collected in the Realm and dungeons. With enough BP players will be able to claim Bonus Rewards. More details about where those Broken Ornaments will drop, tomorrow!
Note: Purchasing boxes/packages in the in-game store or items from the Nexus will not grant you BP!
~
Q: Why release a Bonus Program/Rewards?
A: A while ago, we released a new feature in order to run the Unity Support Campaign. The feature was a big investment for our team in terms of development and we designed it with possible future campaigns in mind from the start. We are re-purposing the feature to make it available again in the form of events during which you’ll collect additional rewards for supporting the game via gold purchases or collecting tokens, depending on the type of bonus program.
~
Q: How do I participate?
A: Whenever a Bonus Program/Rewards starts, you will be able to access the feature directly in the Shop. In order to participate and to start collecting points, you will first have to “unlock” the campaign.
The Open Beta Bonus Program is FREE to unlock and participate in!
~ Q: Is the Bonus Program mandatory? Why should I participate?
A: None of the Bonus Programs will be mandatory, of course! It is totally up to you to unlock it or not. The main idea of a Bonus Program is to give extra rewards. However, you will not collect points as long as the Bonus Program is not unlocked and this will not be retroactive (i.e. any points generated before unlocking the Bonus Program will not count).
~
Q: Can I obtain the Unity Supporter Campaign Glow, Chat Color and Gravestone skins via the Bonus Campaign?
A: No, you can’t. Those were exclusive to the Unity Supporter Campaign and limited to the users that helped us push through with the unity port project.
~
Q: What is a “Grace Period” and what is its purpose?
A: The “Grace Period” of a Bonus Program is a limited time where the Bonus Program will still be visible at the Mystery Shop but you will no longer be able to progress in the tiers even if you keep donating directly in the shop. This grace period is there so everyone can claim the rewards from the tier he/she already unlocked while the Bonus Program was live (in a non-grace period).
~
Q: Will any direct purchases from the Nexus/character screen count towards the Bonus campaign?
A: No. That was possible for the Unity Support Campaign but it no longer is. Right now, only direct boosts made in the Mystery Shop will count towards the Bonus Program.

The final update:
"Why isn't there any update, DEKKER!"

Exalt Token x10 (more on that soon!)

Golden Lucky Clover x1
Vault Chest Unlocker x1

We are happy to see that you came together for this greater goal!
Starting today, we have 6 dungeons that will be hosting an increased Loot Drop and EXP event! To give you a better chance at getting those {LINK REMOVED}new Assassin/Ninja/Mystic ST sets, the events are in those sets’ respective drop locations.
It’s calm before the Realm Exalt Open Beta starting on April 15th, isn’t it? We have a few surprises up our sleeves… More details tomorrow!

Biff Event
Biff will Spawn once per realm after you defeat all Ghost Kings. He hasn’t changed his drops since last year, except he will now drop Golden Egg x3 guaranteed.

We hope you’ve been enjoying this particular silly time of year in the game. In the meantime, we wanted to take another look back and what has happened lately.
The Leprechaun wreaked havoc on the realms once again, daring everyone to chase him down for some flashy new vanities. Many Cartographer fame bonuses ensued.
We revised dungeon key prices to rebalance some outdated prices and better adapt the cost of each dungeon to its actual value. Mystery key categories were updated too for good measure!
A new art contest was held, featuring more incredible creations from the community! We hope everyone had a fun time designing and voting on entries, and you’ll see these winners make their way into the game soon!
Just recently, a new bunch of April Fools goodies made their way into the game alongside the Machine. Additionally, the community worked together to solve a wacky trail of clues and uncovered… something.
And lastly, the big one…
The Unity client has gotten into the hands of the community at last! And very soon, it will be fully accessible through the Open Beta, so stay up to date for information on that!
It is almost time for the Realm Exalt - Open Beta! The Supporters had their go and with their help, we will be able to give you a more refined Realm experience to all Realmers starting April 15th!
In other news, it’s April Fools, and you know what that means? That’s right, absolutely nothing! Nope, nothing of note has been altered in any way, so please carry on with business as usual.
Patch Notes
Player limitation in Realms now works properly (goodbye spamming Interaction!)
The number of players in realm is updated every 5 sec that is why you might get a “Full dungeon” message on realm which is looking like it has free spot
The number takes into account both players in realm and in dungeons inside realm, this is why you can enter 85/85 Realm and see less than 85 players
Reentering the Nexus Clothing Bazaar right after you exited no longer gives you a “Dungeon is full” error
Upon using the Crystallized Fang's Venom and Sporous Spray Spell, the colors of these abilities now match the respective items better
The Golden Oryx Effigy can now drop Realm Gold
Void and Crystal Cavern keys are now for sale in the Nexus, starting at 450 gold
Every Lair of Draconis portal has a 1/10 chance to replace itself with the Consolation of Draconis, including keys
Honey Scepter now inflicts Paralyzed for 4 seconds
Helm of the Juggernaut rebalanced to boost defense by 5 instead of inflicting Armored
New STs Drop
The new ST sets (the Acidified Assassin, Magmatic Mystic, and Crystal Kunoichi) now drop in-game!
Acidified Assassin ST set:
Toxin Tooth - Gulpord the Slime God, Golden Rat
Virulent Venom - Gulpord the Slime God, Red Turtle, Orange Turtle, Blue Turtle, Purple Turtle
Each of the sets now has their own packages and boxes, the latter are included in the ST boxes’ rotation. Starting today, the Magmatic Mystic ST and the Magmatic Mystic Skin Pack are available in the Mystery Shop!
The Mystery ST Chest is also updated! The old Assassin, Mystic and Ninja ST items were replaced with the new ones!
Upcoming Event - The Machine
The Glitch has returned in the Realm! Locate and dis”patch” him to access The Machine, which may have some strange new goods! Let’s just hope there are no bugs in the program...
Event details: We are also trying a new type of event. Every time you defeat Null in The Machine, there is a small chance for a Chest to spawn that will drop an April Fools Skin Bag guaranteed for everyone in the dungeon!
The April Fools Skin Bag contains a random skin of the April Fools Series, up to you to find out more about them ;)
The Event will run from 04/01 until 04/15 - 12:00 AM UTC.
To take a small break from all the dungeon-hunting, we have prepared an Event Whites x2 event! Roam around the Realm and defeat the mighty encounters for a double shot at those precious whites.
The Event will run from 03/26 - 12:00 PM UTC until 03/31 - 12:00 PM UTC.
It’s been more than 24 hours since we released the Realm Exalt Supporter Beta! We are very happy that so many of you came back to check out the new Unity client. We know it is not in a perfect state right now, but that’s why we have this Beta. We are incredibly thankful for all the bugs you have reported on both our {LINK REMOVED}Discord channels and Exalt subreddit.
Right after the release and your initial reports, we started working hard on the most crucial issues that you guys faced. Currently, we are preparing a fix for some of the issues which will be released very soon. The issues are:
Infinite loading screen when connecting to the game
"Account in use" pop up when switching dungeons
Changes to launcher to allow all supporters to get into the game
After fixing these, we will be preparing a bigger set of fixes which we will try to release in the near future.
Please keep in mind that we are doing our best to fix all issues, but this process takes time. We will try to have releases as soon as possible, but sometimes it can take a bit longer to find the solution and push a fix.
Once again thank you for all bug reports and feedback! Please keep reporting them as they help improve our game vastly. Your participation in this stage will contribute to making the final release the best it can be!
