We hope you had a great time during last weekend’s PT session! We received a lot of great feedback that will definitely give us food for thought, thank you for all your comments!
This week we continue events connected to increased rates of old STs for Wizard, Samurai, and Sorcerer. Today we will start an event in Mountain Temple and on Thursday be ready for Shatters one more time.
Last week, we also showcased some of the {LINK REMOVED}new animations. Tomorrow you will find packages with the Golden Shard and the Chaos Shard in the in-game Mystery Shop. But you don’t have a Jugg, a QoT or an Orb of Conflict to use those shards with?! No worries, we've got you covered! For the first time in history, we are starting a x3 event inside the realm! Starting tomorrow at 12 PM UTC your chances to get these 3 specific UTs will be tripled!
Upcoming Events

The Event will run from 05/12 - 12:00 PM UTC until 05/16 - 12:00 PM UTC.

The Event Chest will remain invincible for 15 seconds after spawning.

During the event, Helm of the Juggernaut, Quiver of Thunder and Orb of Conflict will have 3x drop chance.
It’s been awhile since we had new ST sets! Next in line: the Samurai, the Sorcerer and the Wizard. Let’s check the details on the new Daring Discoverer Samurai ST Set by Seelpit, Court Magician Sorcerer ST Set by Sturky and the Slurp Scion Wizard ST Set by TLMaelstrom! As usual, with the release of a new set of STs we increased the rates of the old ones. In the upcoming weeks, we will also be hosting events in the dungeons where the old STs drop to increase those chances even more.
Before we start with what’s to come in terms of events and give you details about the new War STory III Bonus Program, we wanted to once again let you know that there is an ongoing Public Testing session! You now have access to our Testing server where you get to experience Oryx 3 and his minions, and the new Bard class! To join PT you need to take following steps:
1. Download standalone client from https://www.realmofthemadgod.com/exalt even if you are Steam player. 2. After starting the launcher, change the environment in the top right corner to Testing. 3. If you have a testing account, log in with those credentials (production credentials are not the same as the testing one!). If you never log in to the testing server you need to create a new account the same way you create an account on production. 4. Log in with the testing account. 5. You are good to go!
The Bronze, Silver and Gold tickets are now in your possession! To remind you of their purpose: with these tickets you entered a raffle where we picked 10 players per each ticket type to get an ST set of choice! Now that this Bonus Program is over, we have the 30 winners! Congratz to:

War STory III - a Samurai, a Sorcerer and a Wizard...
There is a legend of sea creatures that would craft the most wonderful and strong gear on both the Earth and in the Sea Kingdom. In a land far far away, a young samurai heard of this legend. His home was threatened by wicked monsters, so he trained and became a strong fighter. What was missing was impenetrable armor and a sharp weapon which will help in his defense. The samurai went on a quest to find the gear he heard about in the legend. On his journey, he met a mighty sorcerer and a cunning wizard who took his cause to heart. After years of searching the deepest oceans and the darkest seas, they finally found what they were looking for: a Daring Discoverer Set, a Court Magician ST Sorcerer and a Slurp Scion ST Wizard gear! And so, they were ready for the battlefield...
Note: A reminder that the older Samurai, Sorcerer and Wizard ST sets are now dropping with an increased drop rate at their respective dungeons!
The new ST Bonus Program - A STory of War III: a Samurai, a Sorcerer and a Wizard… is now live in the Mystery Shop.
The new Bonus Program will be running for the next 3 weeks. In it, you will have a chance to gather all the new ST sets’ items. The Bonus Program starts this Friday, May 8th @11:30 AM UTC and will end on May 29th @11:00 AM UTC. More details below:
Start: May 8th, 2020 at 11:30 AM UTC
End: May 29th, 2020 at 11:00 AM UTC
Grace Period: 2 days (till May 31st, 2020 at 11:00 AM UTC)

We have the Avarice Medallion again! Let's remind you what it was and how you can use it. It is a token that can be found on some of the ranks of the Bonus Program. Once obtained, visit the Tinkerer’s and pick 1 (one) of the new ST sets’ items!
We are back with another set of fixes - for both Realm Exalt (Unity) and Realm on Flash. We also want to introduce an awesome cosmetics feature our lovely design team has been working on for awhile now. We know you want to look as fierce on the battlefield as possible but we also know you want to do it in style! Introducing Animations! More on that, below.
Unity Fixes
the nexustutorial command has been removed
Added a chat and a popup message when idle for too long.
Beginner Package now shows for all newly created accounts.
Death summary was added to the death screen.
Fixed characters dying after Nexusing and being stuck in a loop of notifications.
Fixed issue with random projectile sprites not randomizing properly.
Issue with dragging and dropping from and to the inventory has been fixed.
New tutorial
Performance optimizations
Pet icons show in the interaction panel at all times in the Pet Yard.
Promoting and demoting guild members no longer disconnects you/gives you an error.
Smoother transitions when opening the Servers Screen, Leaderboards Screen, Daily Login and Daily Quests have been implemented.
The display of realm population has been adjusted to the new server limit of 300.
Using a dungeon's Portal of Cowardice will no longer teleport you into an empty (no heroes) Realm.
Note: Acquiring the new patch requires you to close the client and launcher and then download the new version. Also, if you restart the launcher, it will provide you with the new link to download.
Animations feature
With these new animations, you can customize a specific UT ability and shiny bright like a diamond!
What is the animation feature? - It's a feature that allows you to add a different animation when you use your UT ability! It's in the form of a shard. Currently we have the Golden Shard and the Chaos Shard. In their tooltip, you can see what specific UTs they can be applied to.
How is the shard applied to the UT ability? - You simple have to drag the shard onto the UT ability item that it can applied to. The upgraded version of the UT ability will be created. It will appear in front of your character in a white bag, so don't wait to pick it up and try it on. Careful though, once merged, the effect cannot be removed from your UT!
How to tell the difference between the normal UT and the one with animation? - The name of the newly created UT will be different. For example, if you merge a Helm of the Juggernaut with a Golden Shard, the new name of your UT will be Helm of the Juggernaut - Midas.
What do the current animations look like? - Well...
We will be hosting an Oryx 3 and Bard class PT (Public Testing) session starting this evening! More details on when exactly and how to join, coming soon. Keep an eye on Reddit and RealmEye!
To show you what it’s all about, our brave designers will be showcasing both Oryx 3 and the new upcoming Bard class before the PT session.
Other fixes and miscellaneous
Feed power on UTs and STs has been updated, as mentioned in our blog.

Lastly, we wanted to give everyone a heads up regarding some changes to the feed power values of UTs/STs in the near future. We’ve worked on rebalancing these numbers to better reflect actual item value (spoiler alert, no more Shatters UTs being less valuable than Manor items).
However, this does mean that some items will be losing FP, which we wanted to warn about in advance so everyone has an opportunity to feed such items ahead of time if they wish. We will be releasing a full and finalized list of exact changes soon, but for now we want to lay out the items receiving substantial reductions in feed power, as they are the most urgent.
Arctic Bow
Barely Attuned Magic Thingy
Burlap Hat
Chasuble of Holy Light
Coral Bow
Coral Ring
Eggre Battle Armor
Enchantment Orb
Eternal Graved Great Sword
First Mate’s Hook
Ghostly Prism
Honey Scepter
Orb of Sweet Demise
Pernicious Peridot
Recurring Terror Spell

Stay tuned for more detailed information, including a great deal of FP buffs as well, such as Shatters UTs, LoD UTs, and many event whites!
Everyone has access and will be able to enjoy the experience. This is still Beta, so we are aware that with all the fixes that we have been rolling out for the past 3 weeks, there are still some hidden ones that are to be fixed. We have gathered a lot of reports but if you notice a bug, please report it on our official {LINK REMOVED}Discord and Reddit.
How will I get access?
For more information on how to get access to Realm Exalt (downloading the client, logging in, etc.), please visit our new website. Mind that once you log in, the graphic settings will be turned low by default.
Important!
For all players that had access to the Supporter Beta, we will soon update the installer for Exalt, but all of you who downloaded the latest installer and client need to remove the builds from the “Documents -> RealmOfTheMadGod” folder before running the new launcher. After that, you can download the client anew from our website -> https://www.realmofthemadgod.com/exalt!
Please only use the RealmOfTheMadGodExalt-0.9.2-installer!
A reminder for our Kongregate players that our Supporter Beta phase does not work together with the Kongregate platform. That’s why we want to ask all Kongregate supporters to transfer their accounts to the browser. You can do so by submitting a ticket to our CS team.
Note: Realm Exalt Open Beta currently is not supporting 32-bit Windows.

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.

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.
