In tomorrow’s update, ArcheAge adds some guards to help players stay safer, lets you now access the Arena Shop more easily, begins the Zodiac Festival event, and adds the Grand ArchePass, Wish-Filled Manastorm Crystal.
This patch adds three guard NPCs at the Pirate Faction’s mobilization order summon location. What this is intended to do is protect some players who were heading into the location and left too exposed to enemy factions. Adding these guards should help them stay a bit safer in the immediate area and reduce some frustration.
A quality of life update is also here, in the form of a new feature that lets you access the Arena Shop through the Arena Manager NPC. The patch also fixes an issue that prevented damage under the “Can’t Install Building” status.
There’s a new ArchePass available and a related new event: Grand ArchePass, Wish-Filled Manastorm Crystal. This new pass upgrade will be available from tomorrow through March 30th. The arrival of this new pass is also accompanied by a new event, Wish-Filled Manastorm Crystal, which will be open during the same period. For this, you can buy these Wish-Filled Manastorm Crystals from the Manastorm shop (which has its items updated in tomorrow’s patch as well), and you’ll be able to exchange the ones you have for new items. These are costume pieces, full costumes, and even conversion scrolls for armor and weapons.
Meanwhile, the Zodiac Festival will begin. For the returning event, you should expect a Peace Zone decorated for the Zodiac Festival, a series of daily quests to complete in order to get coins to trade for additional rewards. We can expect more from Kakao Games once the update is live. Downtime is scheduled for tomorrow, January 5th at 2:30 PM UTC/9:30 AM EST.
You can read the patch notes over at ArcheAge.
