Open Testing for an early OryXmas!
Hello Realmers,
The time is flying and 2021 is soon coming to an end. But that doesn't mean that testing ends! You were already able to test the Kensei twice - well, it's time to do it again. Third time's the charm, right?
But this testing weekend includes more than just our new class! We are working on several features that we want you to test this time around.
This includes changes to the Kensei (You will also be able to test his campaign, a new shop, new dungeon mods, and more!
While the frosty time of the year starts, we want to make sure that you are not missing out of any events! So firstly here is a quick reminder!
STory of War VII is coming to an end soon! If you missed our first news about STory of War VII check out the blog post!
End: December, 6th, at 12PM UTC Grace Period: until December, 9th, 12 PM UTC Quests at the Tinkerer: until December, 9th, 12 PM UTC
Events:
Starting on December 3rd, we have chest events on Deadwater Docks and Woodland Labyrinth. They start at 12 PM UTC and end at the same time on December 8th.
We are still observing and tweaking Blueprint-related things! To address the Oryx 3 sized elephant in the room first, yes, these quests turned out to be substantially harder than we intended and will be made easier: as an initial change, the upcoming quests will only require 50 (Ancient) Schematics.
Today, you will also notice the Schematics quests going from four to eight possible Blueprint rewards - that is because we are expanding the pool available to the quests, from only previously unobtainable or limited Blueprints to also include those S and S+ tier Blueprints that do drop in game.
Find out more about the upcoming changes on our blog.

Realmers!
We want to thank you for your amazing support over the last 10 years. It's been one hell of a ride and we are looking forward to next years to continue our journey together.

Thank you again for all your support and feedback over the years and we would like to invite you to nominate “Realm of the Mad God Exalt” for the Labor of Love Award!

Changes to CS policies and Bans!
Hello Realmers,
We’ve heard your concerns about our Customer Support, and in the last couple of months, we have been implementing changes in order to better meet your expectations and the service levels we want to provide.
We have recently revised our CS procedures and we are continuously working on them. We’ve also increased the number and frequency of ban waves, meanwhile, the amount of appeals coming from the community, decreased.
To find out more about our affords against cheaters and general CS policies, check out our blog post.
A STory of War VII
When the voice of the earth meets the gales of the skies, the relics of two bygone civilizations reveal themselves throughout the realm. The Earthen Bulwark demonstrates the otherwise extinct power of the earth mages. The unseemly secrets of their ways lend a stoic and creatively defensive way of life.
The Storm Caller, wreathed in the thunderous embrace of the wind’s will, bends only to the way of song. Its frigid fury characterizes the swift and lethal judgment of the shrouded wind spirits. There’s a certain irony to these two nebulous forces manifesting their legacies together, as their histories are more intertwined than either side would like to acknowledge. Perhaps there is more to learn from the artifacts themselves, should they meet in conflict once again.
Realmers, The Bonus Program is a time-limited event that can be accessed in the Shop. It allows players to collect Bonus Points with gold they spend in the Shop (or by directly boosting it via the Boost button) and claim Bonus Rewards. You can collect BP by purchasing Mystery Boxes, Packages, and Items in the Nexus and Grand Bazaar areas with Realm gold.
Please note that slot unlockers and name changing do not count for the bonus program. Fame purchases do not count, either.
Just like with “Story of War VI”, Avarice Medallions will have an option to reward the Mini Skin, and in two neat quests at the Tinkerer, you’ll be able to swap a duplicate mini skin for a new Mystery ST Crate of the same class. Start: November, 18th, at 12PM UTC End: December, 6th, at 12PM UTC Grace Period: until December, 9th, 12 PM UTC Quests at the Tinkerer: until December, 9th, 12 PM UTC
As is tradition during War STories, the drop locations of the previous ST sets for the classes featured will host loot (and XP) increase events.
From November 18, 12 PM UTC until November 22, 12 PM UTC these will be Mad Lab and High Tech Terror, where you may try your hand at getting the Scientific Summoner ST set.
From November 25, 12 PM UTC until November 29, 12 PM UTC Oryx’s Sanctuary will be free to access and the Sanctuary itself will grant 1.5x the loot and XP, giving you a better chance at the Angelic Bard set… among other things. That weekend also happens to coincide with Thanksgiving, so to celebrate, The Appetizer will be spawning in Realm and dropping a Thanksgiving menu:
Cranberries
Ear of Corn
Sliced Yam
Pumpkin Pie
Thanksgiving Turkey
Polls
There are currently two active polls, both on Reddit and Discord, that we would like you to answer. The questions are: How would you feel about an increase to your maximum health at the cost of your overall regeneration, allowing you to take more damage before death, but recover slower?” How would you feel about VIT and WIS regen being buffed to more relevancy at the cost of the relative strength of pet regeneration? To answer on Reddit, go here and here. For Discord, please do it in the Deca_polls channel.
Release Notes 2.1.1.0 - Dungeon Mods optimization
Hello Realmers, With today’s update, we bring you the brand new Storm Caller Bard and Earthen Bulwark Summoner ST sets, optimize Dungeon Mods, tweak Shatters and fix many other issues. Read on!
New ST Sets
Added Storm Caller Bard ST Set and Earthen Bulwark Summoner ST Set (More about that on tomorrow’s post!).
Dungeon Mods
Reenabled Noble Boss Dungeon Mod.
Fixed Bis, Prisimimic and other Dungeon Mods that were not working on the Mad God Mayhem dungeon.
Fixed usability bugs related to Dungeon Mods applied to the Mad God Mayhem dungeon.
Fixed a bug on Mad God Mayhem key not able to be refined.
Fixed an issue with a few mods not working in the Machine Dungeon
Fixed the XP Boost (Minions) bug not working correctly on Cave of a Thousand Treasures.
Court of Oryx won’t spawn with Dungeon Mods naturally. However, the CoO dungeon keys can have Dungeon Mods.
Dungeon Mod “Guaranteed Stat Potion” won’t work with “minibosses” in Candyland Hunting Grounds, only with the final boss.
This same Dungeon Mod “Guaranteed Stat Potion” will however now guarantee Mystery Stat Potions alongside regular Stat Potions, if the boss normally dropped any.
Optimized Dungeon Mods.
Note: We are preparing more revisions of the Dungeon Mod system, including new functionalities that go beyond numerical value changes, biased towards more significant and customized changes that will make the system more significant and tweak the risk/reward factor of each dungeon by playing with real, tangible gameplay changes. However, this system is still not ready and we have decided on improving the existing distribution for this update while we work on these new Dungeon Modifiers. We’ll keep you updated but please know the team is very enthusiastic about your feedback and suggestions for new/improved mods.
Read more about the new Dungeon Mods distribution system and all of the other feature that we bring with this update at the blog.
