Oryxmas is over. Long live Oryx. 2021 looks brighter than ever. This is a small update to have the Realm return to normal, make some Item Forge adjustments and fix some minor issues. Please remember that although the Oryxmas Campaign is over, you still have until Jan 14th (Thursday) at 12 PM UTC to claim all the rewards that you have unlocked. This week we are announcing a Speedrun contest that will take place on the Testing server during the weekend, but we’ll give you more details on that on our Thursday blog post.

• Adjusted daily Forgefire charged value to 300.

We plan on adding new high-end items to the Item Forge, but at the same time we are gathering data and trying to adjust and balance the values of materials. We realized we will need a new tier for these high-end items, which will require more materials. This will happen in a future update and we’ll keep you updated on it. Also, we are happy to put the forge to more use and consider different options for new craftable items.

• Removed Jack Frost from the realm
  
• Removed Oryxmas tokens
  
• Added Third Dimension Key to the Epic Mystery Key description
  
• Other minor fixes

Hello Curious Realmers,


As promised, we are sharing with you some of our plans for the first quarter of 2021. If you want to take a look at what we did last year, please check our 20 minute (or the 20 second one, if you're really in a hurry) recap video that counted with the help of our content creators.

The biggest release of the year is planned for Month of the Mad God, which this year is planned to take place in August. You can expect some big changes to item and dungeon systems… but before that, in Q1, you can expect:

• Account security improvements;
  
• MANY client polishing changes and bug fixes, including the proximity XP issue;
  
• New ST sets for the Knight and Necromancer;
  
• Dungeon reconstructions of the Sprite World and Deadwater Docks, and perhaps something extra too!;
  
• Releasing one new class. We have three candidates so far… and will be releasing more details soon;
  
• New in-game notification system which will be separated from the chat, similar to how forgefire and blueprint unlocks appear.

And remember, this is just what we can reveal by now. There will be a lot more changes. Some of them, highly requested. We’ll keep you updated as soon as we can.

The Oryxmas spirit hasn’t left the building yet, so, after showing you the highlights of 2020, we decided to start the year with a treat: unlocking up Oryx’s Sanctuary from 01/06/21, 12:00 PM UTC until 01/12/21, 12:00 PM UTC

Apart from that, we’ll have chest events running in The Crawling Depths, from 01/06/21, 12:00 PM UTC until 01/10/21, 12:00 PM UTC and on The Shatters, from 01/08/21, 12:00 PM UTC until 01/12/21, 12:00 PM UTC.

Check out the drops at our blog

We would also like to tell you that, in the days between Christmas and New Year’s Eve, we lowered the shadowmute threshold values. You’ll see more bots, but will get less false positives. We are still working on a way to fight bots in the game, and can assure you that it will be addressing that in the first quarter of 2021.

But maybe we can tell you more on friday, with the return of the friday news post after the holidays.

The Oryxmas season is here in full force! In our largest update since MotMG, we’ve got a Santa’s bag worth of new content to share. The expansive and long-awaited Item Forge, enhanced consumable usage with Quick Slots, three completely remade dungeons, a brand new Cube God dungeon, new godlands foes, a festive campaign for the holiday season, and more still!



Check it all out at our blog with the official Patch Notes

Oryxmas is approaching and it’s time to feast! Have you ever wondered what’s in the Superburger? On the Power Pizza? And what exactly is contained in an Atomic Taco? What is the Oryx Cookie even made of? (And please don’t make jokes about Ambrosia…)

This time we are not talking about Item Forge. An unprecedented contest is here for you to show off your cooking skills! Just like playing a game, cooking requires creativity, planning, coordination and mechanical skill.

For this contest, you will create a recipe for one of the Food Items in the game. Write down the steps and ingredients and take a photo of the finished dish along with a note containing your In-Game Name! After that, of course, you’d do well to share it with your friends and family…

The best cooks at DECA will be judging your entrées entries, with street food chef Fidelow as the head judge.

Learn how to enter the contest and what the rewards will be at our official blog.

And we would also like to share our Advent Calendar for Oryxmas 2020 with you.



Loot multipliers, Chest Events, The Grinch and the one you kept asking for: we are opening the Santuary from the 6th to the 12th of January.

Also, I would roam around the Realm while the Oryxmas Campaign lasts… you never know what sort of presents might randomly drop… (wink, wink).

• Follow us on instagram @rotmg_exalt (yes, the account is empty, but that won't be the case for long! Follow anyway, because this is where the AMA will be taking place.)
  
• We will post for the first time at 5:30 CET tomorrow, December 3rd.
  
• We will be answering and accepting questions up until 6:30 CET.
  
• Only comments on the AMA post will count as valid questions.

When we announce on Reddit, RealmEye, Discord and social media, you just have to switch to Testing on the launcher to have access to the new features.

Hello Shiny Realmers,

Happy Thanksgiving to all of our Realmers who celebrate it!
This week has been quite intense, with the release of the Fame Reworks. We can assure you that our team is working around the clock to ensure that the issues that came with it are solved very soon.

We also could not let Thanksgiving and Black Friday go by without showing you some love and appreciation, so here it is:

The Free Thanksgiving Pack awaits you in the shop! It contains a delicious Thanksgiving feast: Thanksgiving Turkey, Pumpkin Pie, Sliced Yam, Ear of Corn, and Cranberries.
The pack will be there until 11/30, 8 AM UTC.


Yes, you can buy a pack of 1000 gold for 500 gold. Pretty sweet deal right? It’s only once per account, but you can also get a pack worth 2900 gold for 2200 gold or a pack worth 11000 for only 9600 gold.
All summed up, you can get up to 2600 gold for free. Hurry up!
The promotion ends on the 28th at 12:00 UTC.

But it’s not all: starting Nov 27th at 12 PM UTC, the next 38h there will be some other extra promotions that you’ll be able to catch… by visiting the store.

Enjoy and stay tuned for more news tomorrow. And we may be prepping a “Ask Me Anything” session for you all. We will reveal the day and how it’s going to play out very soon!

Today it’s all about fame, isn’t it? Well, we couldn’t agree more. The much anticipated Fame rework is finally here.

The fame system has been reworked with the goal of creating a system that rewards a character accordingly throughout its life, no matter what kind of playstyle you may have.

The majority of fame bonuses now are separated into categories with 5 main tiers. The last tier can be repeated so you’ll be rewarded even if you’ve achieved the main goal of a category.
Fame bonuses now all grant a flat amount of fame.
Certain fame bonuses that act as milestones (Maxing and Dungeon Collection categories) reward an additional amount of fame based on a % of your base fame.

Abilities such as spells, shields and quivers should now properly increase the shots fired stats
The potions drunk stats will now properly increment no matter where you drink a potion
We’ve added the potion attribute to a lot more consumables as well, you can find a full list of all consumables that count as potions here. Keep in mind that it uses internal object ids.
Teleport stats is now only incremented via player teleportations. Prisms and other teleporting abilities no longer increment the counter.
Party Level Ups now are granted to any players who participated in the enemy’s death rather than only the one who lands the fatal shot.

11 new enemy kill stats have been added on top of the existing ones (Cubes, Gods, Oryx):
Lesser Gods: Tough enemies that inhabits the highlands and enemies that are more powerful than the rest within dungeons

• Encounters: Realm Encounters
  
• Heroes: Heroes of Oryx
  
• Critters: Insect or small animals
  
• Beasts: Big animals
  
• Humanoid: Humans or displays human like attributes
  
• Undead: Skeletons, Ghosts and the likes
  
• Nature: Closely tied to nature or of pure natural origin
  
• Construct: Artificial origins
  
• Grotesque: Horrific
  
• Structure: Breakable walls, decor and the likes.

Those stats have been distributed across all killable enemies in the game! You can find here a full list of all of those, keep in mind that some enemies may appear listed twice (for example a Beast that is also a God)
Enemy kills are now distributed to people who participated rather than only the person who dealt the last hit.

Dungeons stats have been added to almost every dungeon in the game!
Keep in mind that your previous dungeon completion stats have been reset with this update.
We mentioned some bonuses that were being removed in the past. Check them at our previous blog post. Here is the full list of the bonuses from now on, including their rewards.

To celebrate the release of Shards of the Advisor, we’ll also make them part of the Arrival event! Until the end of the event, Alien Biff and Commander Calbrik will be dropping a guaranteed 1x Shard of the Advisor, and Wormhole bosses will have the chance to drop 1x Shard of the Advisor. Stay on the lookout for more drop locations coming with later events!

Rings:

• Mayhem Medallion
  
• Ring of Wrath
  
• Autarch Amulet

Along with them, we are releasing Shard of the Advisor, which will stack up to 35 and turn into a random Agent of Oryx Ring upon consumption. Additionally, you can choose to save up 70 and turn them in for a Ring of Choice at the Tinkerer’s.

Similar to other event items, the rings gain power based on the amount of Agent of Oryx equipment you are wearing.

Check the weapons list on our blog post.

• Replaced Halloween Nexus with Autumn Nexus
  
• Added Cheerleading Bard Skin
  
• Please take into account that Dungeon Collection bonuses are currently not working properly and it will be fixed with the next update
  
• Adding option to turn on shadows for items
  
• Improved transparency
  
• Improved the laser in High Tech Terror dungeon
  
• Other small changes/fixes.
