Realmers!

As always on Wednesdays, we are here to present to you our upcoming events and competitions.
There is no better time than now to start celebrating the Year of the Water Tiger! On Friday we are going to reveal our small upcoming Community Campaign. The goal? Slay enough Ivory Wyverns as a community to receive a reward pack. This pack is going to contain the following items:




But keep in mind. You only receive those items when beating enough flying chickens. In case you don't, we still have other rewards ready for you all. More on that on friday!

Events

Something we can already tell you in detail is our upcoming event in the Lair of Draconis. (Which might also be related to the campaign… FRIDAY!)

Hello Realmers,

It’s the end of Oryxmas and the Nexus is now celebrating the Lunar New Year. Apart from removing everything related to Oryxmas, we are taking the chance to make a few tweaks on Dungeon Modifiers and Item forge and fix some bugs.
These are the changes you can expect:

A Blueprint that was before allowed to craft Fractured Gemstone Wakizashi, Star of Enlightenment, and Sporous Spray Spell will now only unlock Sporous Spray Spell. It is still dropped by Crystal Worm Mother and is also eventually available through the Schematics system.
Dungeon Modifiers
We have adjusted the frequency at which the S-Grade tier appears in naturally-spawned dungeons that appear very frequently in the realm (like Pirate Cave, Snake Pit, etc.). Of course, they are still possible, but they have an adjusted drop rate more adequate to the frequency in which they can be found.

‘Generous’ Dungeon Mod in Shatters was not functioning properly and it spawned the quest chest directly instead of the item, this has been fixed.

• Moon Nildrop had a problem where it didn’t buff your nearby allies, it behaves correctly now
  
• Tweaked the time with idle animations on the skins Grandma Necromancer; Cozy Blanket Sorcerer; Oryxmas Treeckster and Grandpa Paladin
  
• Fixed alignment for the idle animations of Grandma Necromancer, Grandpa Paladin and Cozy Blanket Sorcerer, as well as for their sprites in places in the UI
  
• Fixed a bug that caused changes not to take place immediately when the player tried to change options such as "Enemy Damage Text".
  
• Fixed a bug where, on rare occasions, Exalted Oryx would not transition correctly to his final phase if too much damage was applied during the Tornado phase.
  
• Fixed an issue that caused the tooltip to remain on the cursor until the player hovered over a new item when hovering over rewards in the campaign and trying to close by pressing the ESC key.
  
• Lady of Locks Ninja, Miss Shamrock Wizard, and Cozy Blanket Sorcerer are now displaying correctly in the down attack animation.

• The dye mask of Pearl Moon Kensei Skin now appears properly in attacking downwards and upwards animations
  
• Dye/cloth mask now applies to the Lil' Carrot Ninja and Season Spring Huntress skins
  
• One hair pixel was overridden by a dye/cloth mask on Red Prismed Trickster skin
  
• Shortened Supermodel of Swordsmanship Kensei Skin's name

• Added information on how much time is left until the end of event quests
  
• Maxed stat should be displayed properly in all cases
  
• Some stability and performance improvements
  
• Defeating The Forgotten King in Shatters dungeon with Generous mod active is spawning the quest chest directly instead of dropping it in a bag.
  
• Magic potions cannot be consumed while a player is under Quiet effect or when they use the ability.
  
• Volcanic Sheath, Spider Shuriken, and Davy's Sheath are now tradable.
  
• Axolotl Pet Skin is now appearing under Exotic family in the pet wardrobe
  
• Snowman's Sheath and Great Shinobi Sheath now both cost 125 mana
  
• Added the Wand of the Fallen and the Orb of Aether to the Mountain Temple treasure room.

We gave a new meaning to Crystals of Fortune so you can get a chance to get a random skin from Basic to Exalted for cheaper. The Mystery Skin item will give you an equal chance to get one skin from all skins in the game( excluding ones deemed exclusive). You will be able to exchange 3 X 20 Crystals of Fortune at the Tinkerer for a Mystery Skin and try your luck again.

We are planning to update the Mystery [Class] Skins pool soon, so you can also exchange Crystals of Fortune for your preferred class Mystery Skin or some selected skins that will rotate from time to time. Also, we are working on a system to make usage out of repeatable skins. Let’s know if you have any ideas or feedback.

Check out the New Cloths and New Skins.

Realmers,
This weekend we are opening the gates of the Sanctuary and placing them in the Nexus (of the testing server) for you to practice your O3s. Why practice? Because next week, starting on Tuesday, the 11th, at 12 PM UTC, and until the 18th at the same time, you won’t need runes to enter the Sanctuary on production.

Yes, a whole week of “free” O3s on production is coming. So start training now on the testing server. All you need to do is to select “Testing” from the upper right launcher menu. Remember: if you don’t have a Testing account you’ll need to create one. Your regular production account will not be of any use there.

• Maxed stat should be displayed properly in all cases
  
• Some stability and performance improvements
  
• Removing Oryxmas event
  
• Enemy Damage Text on NPC and XP Gain on user should appear correctly (Realm and dungeons) at all times.
  
• Mana potion cannot be consumed while a player is under Quiet effect or when they use the ability
  
• New Cosmetics

Check out the blog to see the new cosmetics available for testing.

Realmers!

A new year has started and it is time for us to tell you about our upcoming events in January. While we have already announced and told you some stuff about them, here is a quick reminder regarding next week's events. Go check out our event calendar to stay up to date.

Events

Starting on January 10th, we have a chest event coming up in Davy Jones' Locker!
The event starts at 12 PM UTC and ends on the 15th of January at the same time.

The Oryxmas spirit hasn’t left the building yet, so we decided to start the year with a treat: unlocking Oryx's Sanctuary from the 11th of January, 12:00 PM UTC until the 18th of January, 12:00 PM UTC.

The Cursed Library is going to have another Chest Event with Oryxmas Mystery Pet Skins.
The event starts at 12 PM UTC on the 13th and ends on the 15th of January at the same time.

Hello Realmers,

Can you see this paragraph? You can because our transparency is set to 100%. Yes, we have much-awaited news about this in these release notes. Apart from that QOL improvement, it is mainly a release that aims at bug fixes and small changes. Enjoy!

• Jack Frost has returned! Go collect his parts and put them together on the snow patches in the mountains.
  
• The Snowman Gods in the mountains will drop Snowman Body, as well as different Carrots, Coals and Top Hats. Activate the Body first on the snow patch (marked blue on your map), and then build your own icy horror.
  
• Jack Frost drops Oryxmas UT Weapons.
  
• Buffs from Reindeer Reins have been activated.

• You are now able to set the opacity down to 10% directly from the options menu
  
• Skin Fixes
  
• The Dye Mask of the Graceful Kensei Skin is now appearing properly in its front and side attack and side walk frames.
  
• Changed the Tier of the Graceful Kensei Skin from Superior to the correct Greater.

• Fixed an issue with certain items requiring the wrong mark while crafting.

The following items now require Mark of the Forgotten King:

• Warmonger
  
• Dusky Catalyst
  
• Valor
  
• Primal Arcana
  
• Sentinel's Sidearm
  
• Polarity Poison
  
• Noble Mandolin
  
• Vanguard's Visage
  
• Peacekeeper

• The Forgotten Craftsmanship quest is therefore back to its intended rotation pre-bug discovery.
  
• Fixed a problem with quicksand, sinking the character quicker than normal in the Tomb of the Ancients and the Ancient Ruins.
  
• Permafrost Lord now has correct messages in chat after defeating him.

He’s one of the most joyful members of the community. You can find him streaming on Twitch and here, in this interview. Meed Deivian aka Deiviamos.

I wish it would be one day. My day job is to be working in a small factory as a foreman + IT specialist who keeps all computer/network status as it should be in the company.

Wow, any hidden talents uuum… First skill: I can whistle very loud. Second: I am “always” happy :).

Mighty Realmers!

It is time for another update regarding our upcoming events! Here you can once again see our event calendar for December and January. For a bigger version follow this link to the calendar.

As you have probably noticed, the Labyrinth Dwellers won the Channeling. For some details: if you were to only take the quests into account, Labyrinth gang wins with 53.81%. Add in dungeon completes (adjusted for frequency per realm), and the difference slightly decreased to 53.5%. We hope you enjoy both UTs and RNGesus treats you well in your hunt for sheaths!

Follow the link to our blog post for more information.

Ho ho ho, Realmers,

Oryxmas is here! And we are bringing a lot of additional things with it. From our new class, the Kensei, to our new dungeon mods, you name it. It’s Oryx’s birthday so we are bringing a lot of new exciting things to RotMG like a new Shop, Veteran Skins, Skin Ranks, new Campaigns and Quests and more. You also don't want to miss out on our three Free Packs! So let's start off this festive season with our new class.
The Kensei
