Starting August 13 and lasting until August 16, ArcheAge and ArcheAge: Unchained welcomes the return of the Double Event!

Everything! Stay in, log in daily and take advantage of Double Experience - level up your characters even faster; Double Loot Drop Rate - better your chance to get that item you've always wanted; Double Honor Points - get the most out of your battles during war; and Double Vocation Badges - exchange this currency for special vocation goods such as seeds, saplings, furniture, livestock, and much more!

The power is now in your hands with the brand new Power Unbound event coming to ArcheAge and ArcheAge: Unchained on August 12!

Head to Mirage Isle and get to work on the new Grimoire Workbench and turn your 10 Paper and 2 Blue Salt Hammers into Special Scrolls. To get to Mirage Isle, take any of the portals throughout Erenor in most cities, towns, and safe zones. Afterward, you can use the Special Scroll to turn into a random Grimoire!"

This event is only here for a short while and will end on September 2! The Workbench will disappear from Mirage Isle, but don't fret - the Grimoires won't disappear!

It's that time of year, heroes, when we relax on the beach, build sand sculptures, and punch abnormally large beach monsters in the face with a chicken in hand! Chicken in hand? Yeah, that's how we do it in ArcheAge! And that can only mean one thing! The Blue Salt Festival returns to Sanddeep, and beginning July 15, you'll be able to take time off from your duties as the Chosen One, in exchange for some fun in the sun and redeemable Summer Festival Coins! You can get to the festival grounds through the World Gates in Austera, Marianople, or Diamond Shores!

During the Blue Salt Festival, festival period rules will be in full effect in Sanddeep, preventing PvP from happening on the festival grounds, thereby welcoming visitors of all continents!

What activities can I expect at the Festival?
Collect sand, assemble sand sculptures, and help out Artist Mendelson and Vivalt with their art in the form of 5 daily Quests! Don't forget to try out Sandy's Hot Fried Chicken, too, as it wouldn't be a Festival without it!

Along with the typical variety of entertainment you can expect at a festival, be aware of an uninvited guest whose sole purpose is ruining the Blue Salt Festival! You can protect the festival from this treacherous foe at the following times and collect even more Summer Festival Coins:

EU: 12:00 PM, 5:00 PM, 10:00 PM UTC

Get to Rocking and Scrolling, the Rock 'n' Scroll event is returning July 8! After the maintenance on July 8, grab your Ruby from the marketplace for 10 Loyalty Tokens on ArcheAge and 10 Diligence coins on ArcheAge: Unchained up to 3 times per account.

Every day during the event, players level 30 and above that maintain an online connection for two consecutive hours will receive a Gem Upgrade Scroll! This scroll can be claimed by activating the button in the lower-left corner of the screen. You can obtain 10 Gem Upgrade Scrolls per day, per account through consistent gameplay!

Use your Gem Upgrade Scroll to upgrade your Ruby all the way up to a Prismatic Diamond (if you so choose!) These Scrolls work similarly to Awakening equipment, so the possibility of failure is there. If you have upgraded all 3 of your gems, you can exchange the remaining Gem Upgrade Scrolls you receive for 5 Gilda Stars at the Gem Exchanger.

There are also Daily Quests to get your fix of Gem Upgrade Scrolls. Compete in the faction competitions, complete your family quests, and participate in the daily militia quests in order to get even more scrolls!
