Family Celebrations with the friendly Yata!

Starting May 6 celebrate the support and love of your family and friends in honor of Mother's Day, and visit the family friendly Yata in the capital cities around Erenor!

Tell me more!



Visit the Nui's Yata in the capital cities Austera, Marianople or Growlgate Isle and accept the daily quest 'Spending Quality Time'. Hang out with the Yata for 10 minutes after accepting the quest to receive the "Quality Time" effect. After those 10 minutes are up, you will be granted the "Blessed by Nui" buff. Pay a visit to a nearby Temple Priestess a visit and she will grant you 1x Cheerful Boost that increases your Loot Drop Rate that gets more effective the longer you're online!

The Cheerful Boost increases your Loot Drop Rate once consumed and gets more effective every hour while you are online. Thank you, friendly Yata!

This event ends on May 13 at 1 AM UTC (May 12, 11 PM PDT), so don't forget to take part in the celebrations before time runs out!

The Double Event has Begun!

An event so exciting, almost everything is doubled! The fresh and oh so fly Double Event is coming back in ArcheAge and ArcheAge: Unchained on Thursday, April 29, 2021, after the weekly maintenance.

What’s Doubled?



Most ArcheAge and ArcheAge: Unchained servers will receive a double rate increase on the following:
2x Loot Drop
2x Vocation Badges
2x Experience Gained
2x Honor Points Gained

* Please note that Fresh Start Servers are exempt from this event and that Kyrios Badge Gain is not boosted with this event.

Hurry and get the most from this Double Event before it ends with the maintenance on Thursday, May 6!

Hereafter Festival

Starting April 15 we honor the Goddess Nui for her ultimate sacrifice when Auroria fell in the battle with Kyrios. Partake in the Hereafter Festival to dedicate this time to her and obtain goodies in return!

Tell me more!


During the Hereafter Festival, all players that remain online for 60 minutes during the event period can receive a Nui's Diadem Crate twice a day. The box can be claimed by clicking on the Divine Clock button in the lower-left corner of your screen. It contains Tarnished Nui's Diadem x1 and Silverleaf x2.

Partake in the Crimson Rift, Grimghast Rift, Whalesong Harbor, and To Aegis Island event activities, and receive even more Tarnished Nui's Diadem. More Silverleaves can be obtained from a General Vendor for 10 gold.

All event items except the Silverleaves will expire after the maintenance on April 29, 2021. Additionally, once destroyed the event items cannot be recovered.

What do I do next?


In order to honor the Goddess, these tarnished Diadems will need to be polished with the Silverleaves at the Mirage Isle Nui Statue, located by the Festival Gift Exchanger.

Each leaf used will polish the Diadem and seal it. The more polished the Diadem becomes, the higher grade it will reach. Be careful, however! These memories of the Goddess are very fragile after they pass the Unique tier, and can be broken from further polishing.

And what do I get in return?


Once you are comfortable with your polished Diadem, you can offer it to the Statue of Nui in Mirage Isle for rewards, including:
  • 15 Bound Tax Certificates for a Unique Nui's Diadem
  • 1 Bound Blue Regrade Charm for a Celestial Nui's Diadem
  • 2 Bound Yellow Regrade Charms for a Divine Nui's Diadem
  • 1 Candy-fueled Shell Racer for an Epic Nui's Diadem
  • 1 Nui's Lunagem Crate for a Legendary Nui's Diadem.
    This crate randomly grants one of the following T1 Lunagems: Fireglow, Copperglow, Waveglow, Galeglow, or Earthglow Lunagem.
  • 1 Bound Lucent Serendipity Stone for a Mythic Nui's Diadem.
    This item can replace a synthesis effect on a piece of the following equipment: Erenor Equipment, Hiram Guardian Equipment, World Boss Equipment, Synthesis Costumes, Synthesis Cloaks, and Noryette Accessories.

Honor the Goddess Nui until April 29 at 1 AM UTC when the Hereafter Festival ends. You have no time to lose!

Return of the Pawesome Festival

Starting April 8 at 1 am UTC, tend to pawesome baby pets during the Pawesome Festival! Adorable animals need your help to regain their health, and who knows - they might return the favor and stay with you forever!

Tell me more!


During the Pawesome Festival, all players above Lv. 30 have the chance to accept several daily quests at the NPC Nairamdal in Skyfang, Windscour Savannah, which will be turned into a festival zone. Complete the quests to gain Pawesome Coins, exchangeable at the Festival Gift Exchanger on Mirage Isle for several goodies.

Additionally, Tarkir also needs your assistance. Help him for additional Pawesome Festival Coins 3 times a day at 12 AM, 12 PM, and 5 PM PDT!

You can get to the Windscour Savannah by using the Worldgates in Austera and Marianople.

What can I exchange my Coins for?


You can exchange your well-deserved Pawesome Festival Coins at the Festival Gift Exchanger on Mirage Isle for the following goodies:

• Pet Leash - Pawesome Coin x30
• Kitty Onesie - Pawesome Coin x110
• Puppy Onesie - Pawesome Coin x110
• Tufted Pet Tower - Pawesome Coin x20
• Cozy Pet Bed - Pawesome Coin x20
• Playful Pet Cushion - Pawesome Coin x20
• Wooden Pet Bed - Pawesome Coin x20
• Collectible Cutout Box - Pawesome Coin x5
• Manastorm Crystal - Pawesome Coin x10 (F2P ONLY)

The event ends on April 22 at 1 AM UTC, and Festival NPCs disappear after the regular maintenance on that day, so don't miss the chance in finding a new friend!

The Akasch Invasion Has Arrived!

The Akasch Invasion has begun! A brand-new zone has opened up for all adventurers - the Ipnya Ridge. Filled with ruins, this zone represents not only what was but what's to come. Travel to the Ipnya Ridge through a narrow path in Mysthrane Gorge, but tread carefully, as danger awaits around every turn.

Utilize brand-new weapons, become more powerful, and learn more about the Akasch and their plans. These and more in the latest update to ArcheAge and ArcheAge: Unchained.



An opening in Mysthrane Gorge will bring you back to a land filled with ruins of the ancient hub city where the Ipnysh once thrived. Traversing the ridge will be anything short of easy. While the ruins of the Ipnya remain, new structures of Akasch origin have appeared that can only mean something sinister is coming.



Experience 37 Main Story Quests to take you through the Ipnya Ridge. Alongside Ardios and Lauryla, you will begin your search for more Ipnysh Wardens and form alliances with warriors to back you for an upcoming skirmish not yet seen before in Erenor.



Assist Estio of the Crimson Watch, Historian Artena, and Researcher Aranbot on their journey to reveal the truth behind the unusual changes within Karkasse Ridgelands. Rumored to have vanished shortly after their victory against the mighty dragons that once roamed these lands, dive deeper into the lore of the ancient Nuon race.



The Ipnysh magic keeping the seal stones intact is weakening, providing the Akasch an opportunity to invade Erenor. Once the dimensional rift is open, life, as we know it on Erenor, may change forever if we can't stop them.



A brand new skillset is now available, adding 66 brand-new classes! Alongside its arrival are newly introduced Rifles as a new ranged weapon type. Bring your foes to submission from a distance in a method never before seen in Erenor.



Also added is a brand new system that allows you to power up your character equipment slots! Flex those muscles and gain even more stats; self-improvement is the way of the future.
