REWRITE YOUR LEGACY
Greetings Inheritors,
We were pleased to see the positive reception to the ArcheAge: Unchained Fresh Start server in September and see that the seasonal style, with enhanced boosting and progression, was popular and well received. We’ve also heard a lot of feedback that on the original ArcheAge, the hurdle to catch up to veteran players is too high. With this in mind, we will be opening up a fresh start for ArcheAge on Dec 15th, 2022.
How will the Fresh Start Server be different?
Focus on faction PvP
In addition to extensive boosts to enable you to progress efficiently, the core focus would be on the conflict between Nuia and Haranya. So, to make this possible, the Pirate faction will be disabled.
Faster and smoother progression
Level Achievement crates: - We want you to reach end-game content and competitive PvP rapidly, so, as you progress you will earn rewards that will ease your journey. These crates will include Infusions and Luna Charms that will allow you to reach a respectable gearscore in a relatively short amount of time.
Meaningful Events
We want to set some different challenges and competitions so we’ll be running a bunch of fun and rewarding events that will let you win even more prizes. Follow us on Twitter and come hang out in our Discord to learn more about these.
Content Gates
We also want to allow those that missed the very beginning of the server to be able to catch up and join in. To facilitate this we will be bringing back the content gates in a similar manner to our first Fresh Start servers. However, the exact timing and specifications of each gate are not yet determined so more information will be provided in the coming weeks.
We’ll be providing more detailed information on the specifications and schedule for events, land rush etc soon. In the meantime, we hope that many of you will join us for the next Fresh Start and that some of the changes we are trying are enjoyed by all who take part. We’ll continue trying to find new and interesting ways for you to enjoy ArcheAge and ArcheAge:Unchained.

Content Updates
You can now receive more powerful buffs depending on the "War Drum" performer's Artistry Proficiency.
Depending on the Artistry Proficiency of the player who plays the "War Drum," the player using "Dance: Pumped Up" will receive more powerful buff.
Buff effects are affected by the Artistry Proficiency of the character who plays (uses) the "War Drum," regardless of who summons it.
If a player with Artistry Proficiency of high rank plays the "War Drum" when a lower level buff is active, a higher level buff will replace the former.
However, while a higher level buff is active, a lower level buff cannot be applied.
The below gifts will be sent to all players via mail or marketplace who log in between Sep 16 06:00 UTC–Sep 17 05:59 UTC.
8th Anniversary Giftbox x1 (mail)

The ArcheAge: Unchained Fresh Start Server is now open
Dear Inheritors,
Ever since the fresh start server was introduced last December 3rd, many of you have provided feedback on ways to improve ArcheAge: Unchained. Thanks to your feedback, we will be opening up a newly improved fresh start server for ArcheAge: Unchained on September 15th.
Unlike the previous fresh start server which had limitations in terms of content and character growth, the upcoming fresh start server will have everything available when it opens. MMORPG's with a long history always face the problem where there is a big gap in growth between the new players and the existing players. We are trying to bridge this gap by providing various growth rewards through major content and events exclusive to the new fresh start server. You'll also be able to obtain at least double or even triple the additional XP, Conflict/War/Siege/Quest Honor Points, and Vocation Badges while the server is running.
Many also requested improvements on ways to obtain Manastorm Crystals in ArcheAge: Unchained. For the upcoming fresh start server, you can now purchase Manastorm Crystals using Honor Points, which you can obtain naturally as you play ArcheAge. In addition, you'll also be able to use Honor Points in new ways you haven't been able to use before in other servers.
Lastly, we're aware of the feedback you are providing about the amount of daily and weekly content in the game increasing as we continue to update the game. We're thinking about mid to long-term improvements we can make, and some of these have been introduced on the update on May 15th. Of course, we'll continue to make more improvements as we update the game in the future. To address one of the feedback about the daily/weekly content not being as rewarding compared to the effort you put into the game, we are adding an event exclusive to the fresh start server where you can get double the rewards for the weekly quests. This will be introduced to the weekly quests which are key growth areas of the game.
We hope you continue to provide feedback! Please check out the below for the details about the new fresh start server.
We will be conducting scheduled maintenance at the following times:
Maintenance Start Time: UTC: Sep 15 at 08:00 am CEST: Sep 15 at 10:00 am EDT: Sep 15 at 04:00 am PDT: Sep 15 at 01:00 am
Maintenance End Time: UTC: Sep 15 at 3:00 pm CEST: Sep 15 at 5:00 pm EDT: Sep 15 at 11:00 am PDT: Sep 15 at 08:00 am
* Please note that the game will shut down before maintenance. We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause.
Thank you for your understanding!

Patch Notes - July 14, 2022
[Content - Improvements]
● Improved the breathing condition of some races at water surfaces. ○ This is to improve the case where some races (Warborn, Firran) had instances where they were considered under water even when at surface level, making it difficult for them to use gliders and other inconveniences.
● Improved the "Kick" condition within dungeons. ○ The Kick system in instances is there to kick players who do not participate in or intentionally interrupt playing the dungeon, but it was abused to Kick players of hostile factions. To improve upon this, the majority vote requirement to kick a player has been increased to 70% or more votes. ○ We will continue to monitor and improve the kick system.
● Tweaked the difficulty of "Corrupted Risopoda" at the Mysthrane Gorge. ○ "Corrupted Risopoda" was intended to be played by moving around using vehicles, but the use of steamtanks in a stationary position prevented this from happening. To improve upon this, some skills used by the Light Orb summoned by the Risopoda will be changed to Siege Damage and have their damage increased. ○ This is the 1st improvement for Corrupted Risopoda and we will continue to monitor and improve as we go along.

● Battlerage ○ Terrifying Roar ■ Decreased the skill effect duration for the caster buff, enemy debuff, and the 8 status effect extension effect by 5% for all levels (decreased from 35% to 30% at level 55). ○ Triple Slash: Quake ■ Increased Mana cost from 12 to 20 (based on Leather Armor). ■ Decreased the third hit damage of Triple Slash: Quake from 20% to 15%. ○ Sunder Earth ■ Decreased the Received Damage decrease effect of Sunder Earth from 30% to 25%.
● Auramancy ○ Awakening ■ Decreased the duration from 5 sec to 4 sec.
● Gunslinger ○ Corrosive Barrage ■ Decreased the duration of Corrosion from 17 sec to 10 sec. ■ Added 10% additional damage combo to Discord enemies. ○ Corrosive Barrage: Stone ■ Decreased the duration of Stone Corrosion from 17 sec to 10 sec. ■ Added 10% additional damage combo to Discord enemies. ○ Added description to Concussive Arrow of Archery that Bloodthirst Shock is applied upon hit.
