Bug Fixes

• Fixed the issue where an irrelevant semicolon appeared next to the Leadership info from the Rewards list upon accepting some quests.

 
The Angler Daru's Mirage Isle Fishing event has started.

• Use the Angler Daru Fishing Rod and Bait provided via mail upon login to go fishing at Mirage Isle.
• You can obtain Angler Daru Coins by fishing and exchange them for rewards. There's a low chance you can obtain additional rewards from a Treasure Chest.

• Adjusted the way in which a Hero Cloak's buff effect is applied. 
  • We have increased the Hero rewards and adjusted the Hero Cloaks' buff effects to be applied in a way whereby you can receive both [Hero Cloak effect] + [Own Cloak effect] to improve on the issue where these buff effects give more advantages to certain classes.
    • Change: Buff effect applied while equipped > Buff effect applied upon use
    • Even if you unequip the Hero Cloak while the buff effect is being applied upon using the cloak, this effect will remain.
  • Other than Hero Cloak buff effect adjustment, we will continue improving the Hero rewards.
• Expanded the duration of some buff effects that can be obtained from the statues for each faction. 
  • The duration of the Intense Blessing and Steadfast Blessing buff effects that can be obtained from the statues for each faction was set as 1 day, and it was therefore inconvenient to refresh it every day. To improve on this issue, we have made the below adjustments:
  • Added new Intense Blessing (3 days) and Steadfast Blessing (3 days) buff effects to the statues for each faction.
  • 3-day buff effect consumes Stone Brick x10. The existing 1-day buff effect consumes Stone Brick x5.

    • Reduced the HP of the bosses to 85% compared to before.

      • Void Chest: 1 > 4 scrolls
      • Dimensional Rift Chest: 2 > 8 scrolls
      • The amount of the Unidentified Dimensional Hiram Infusions remains the same
  • We will continue to monitor the fatigue that you may experience while growing your character as you play the game's different contents including the Hiram Rift.
• Adjusted the balance of the Disciple's Shields.
  • There was feedback that the excessive use of a Disciple's Shield's wide area pull skill, including Vicious Implosion, in a large-scale PvP, reduced the tension of the game. To improve on this issue, we have adjusted the pulling distance of Disciple's Shields and allowed the immunity to each shield's skill to be applied all at once.
    • Disciple's Shield: 10m to 6m
    • Radiant Disciple's Shield: 13m to 8m
    • Immortal Warden's Shield: 15m to 10m
  • Immunity is activated when being pulled by the above shields, and you may check your immunity state.
  • We hope this change will make players use the relevant wide area pull skills more cautiously.
• Added a design with which you can expand a Design Chest. 
  • 50-Slot Design Chest, 70-Slot Design Chest
    • It can be crafted at the Handicraft Kiln regardless of your Proficiency.

  • Due to the improvements, the territory protection duration after placing a Drydock has been greatly decreased.
• Clarified the details about offline Labor regeneration in Patron buff effect and Labor descriptions.
  • Offline Labor Regen Explanation
    • Offline Labor Regen does not restore Labor in real time when logged off. Instead, the system checks whether you are a Patron user or have a buff effect when you log in.
    • If you have a buff effect activated, then you recover the specified amount every 5 minutes when logged off, and if your buff effect has expired, you will not recover any.

 

• Fixed the issue where you occasionally could not obtain any points for gathering at the Island of Abundance.

 
The October Hallowtide Festival has begun.

• Added an exchange feature for dragon hearts (Flamebeat Heart, Windsong Heart, Earthroar Heart).
  • We have added an exchange feature to improve on the issue where you couldn't get the dragon heart you wanted or received the heart you already had when exchanging "Dragon Heartshard" that is obtainable upon defeating Black Dragon for a dragon heart, turning a valuable item into something useless.
  • You can exchange "Flamebeat Heart," "Windsong Heart," and "Earthroar Heart" for "Red Dragon Spinal Ridge" x30 from Daru Priest.
    • The amount of exchange was decided based on the value of the raid items, among others.

• Fixed the skill description for Machine Filled Dimensional Crevice's Unsheathed Laser.

• Added a feature that locks the position of the items in your inventory.
  • Based on the feedback that it was inconvenient how auto-sorting changed the position of frequently used items or items to be swiped, we have added a feature that locks the position of the items in your inventory.
    • The "Lock Item Position" button will be added to the bottom side of the Inventory UI. Click on the button and the Lock Item Position pop-up window will appear.
    • If you click on the [Lock/Unlock Item Position] feature from the pop-up window, your mouse cursor will change into Lock Item Position mode. Clicking on an item will lock or unlock its position and change its outline.
    • Position-locked items can be used normally, sold at a shop, destroyed, grown, listed for Auction, etc.
• Expanded the UI scale range.
  • We have added a minimum of 70% and a maximum of 130% of UI scale values so that you can enjoy the game with a broader range of UI size.
  • Additionally, we found out that 80% and 90% scale values differed from the values that were actually applied, hence we have improved on this issue.
  • However, please note that this might slightly reduce the size of the UI or change the position of the shortcuts for those who have set their UI to 80% or 90% in size.
• Added a space where you can set shortcut keys for the optimization mode.
  • Based on the feedback that it was inconvenient how the optimization mode, which was frequently used from the HUD on the bottom right side of the screen, was excluded with the UI revamp, we have added a feature that allows you to set shortcut keys for the relevant mode.
  • This feature has no default shortcut key. Use it upon setting up a shortcut key.
  • Go to: Settings > Key Settings > Misc. > Optimization Mode On/Off
• Improved the Raid Commander Chat.
  • We have improved on several issues including the issue where the Raid Commander Chat appeared in the middle of the screen, and the issue where this chat overlapped with the quest objective count message, making it difficult to see the chat. Below are the details of the improvements:
  • The location of Raid Commander Chat was moved downwards.
  • Added the "Display Commander Chat Screen at the Center" ON/OFF feature.
  • Go to: Settings > Game Settings > Functionality > Display Commander Chat Screen at the Center (check/uncheck)
  • Changed the background of some system messages to look simpler, along with the Raid Commander Chat.
• You can now share the Akasch Invasion Investigation daily quests with your raid members. 
  • Before, it was difficult to do the Akasch Invasion Investigation daily quest because of the competition between individual players. To improve on this issue, we have adjusted these quests so that you can share them with members of the same raid by interacting with the sphere or the compass.
  • However, please note that you must be within 25m of the relevant raid member who is interacting with the sphere or the compass.
• Improved the Marketplace purchase limit icons. 
  • Currently, the purchase limit icons of the restricted items at the Marketplace are the same regardless of their settings, making it difficult to distinguish if they are referring to account/character/daily limits. Hence, we have adjusted the color of the icons based on each item's purchase limit settings.
    • Purchase Limit per Account: Green (remains the same)
    • Purchase Limit per Character: Orange
    • Daily Purchase Limit per Account: Purple
• Improved the rewards for Freedich Island's Captain Rangora and Rangora the Oathbound.

Greetings Inheritors,

We have been receiving a lot of feedback from all of you recently and have decided to merge ArcheAge and ArcheAge: Unchained services, which was one of the topics most frequently brought up. We went through many discussions and concluded that we could not provide you a smooth gameplay experience with the game's current servers. Especially, in the case of ArcheAge: Unchained, the population per server has reached a point where it is no longer possible for you to enjoy systems as they were designed to be. Unfortunately, with the current server population, we can't continue servicing ArcheAge: Unchained alone. We regret having to inform our ArcheAge: Unchained players of this decision.

Although, comparatively speaking, we can continue servicing ArcheAge, we internally reviewed if merging ArcheAge and ArcheAge: Unchained would be possible to provide you a better gameplay experience and a more stable service, and are now preparing for the actual merge. We hope the merge of ArcheAge and ArcheAge: Unchained leads to an active and lively field PvP as well as Faction War. Players in the server that has recently opened have been sharing their concerns regarding the merge. We are trying to come up with different ways to aid those players who are not strong enough to compete with the existing players yet upon merge.

The merge will take place during the maintenance on November 30 (Thurs). Below are the details of the specs that are applied upon server merge.

• The entrance to Ethereal Haven's Abyssal Workshop will now always be open.
  • To remove interruptions from the Akasch Invasion content, the open/close feature has been removed for the entrance to the Abyssal Workshop. The door will remain opened.
  • We will continue to make improvements to reduce issues that interrupt others from enjoying the game.
• The Health Lift skill will now always apply to the caster.
  • The Health Lift skill for Auramancy applied randomly to 20 friendly targets (including the caster). Due to its random nature, it did not always apply to the caster. After receiving feedback about this, we're changing it so that the skill always applies to the caster, and then applies randomly to the remaining 19 other targets.

 

• Fixed the issue where you could not accept the "Stop the Void Corps Boss" quest when in a "Weak" status.
• Fixed the issue where it would appear as if Skill Stack for Songcraft would continue to remain active when hit by the Witchcraft's "Stillness" skill.
  • Witchcraft's "Stillness" skill removes all music effects, and also affects Songcraft's Skill Stack.
