Realmers!

While we are approaching Oryxmas in a little bit over a month (don't quote me on that), we have a new update coming your way. Last weekend you were able to test our new feature, “Seasonal Characters” and while they are not ready yet to be released, we hope that you enjoyed the feature so far. We are still open for any feedback you can think of.

It is also time for the Assassin and Necromancer ST Tokens to start dropping from dungeons today and we have some events in those dungeons!
Go check out the update down below.

[h3]Events[/h3]

Thanksgiving is just around the corner at the end of the month and in preparation, it's once again a great time to celebrate with some 1.5x dungeon loot and XP.

Starting on the 8th of August, until the 15th of August, you will receive 1.5x Loot and XP from the Fungal and Crystal Cavern, the Puppet Master’s Encore, the Cnidarian Reef, Lost Halls, Cultist Hideout and the Void.

Starting on the 17th of August and lasting until the 21st of August a double realm whites event will be active.

All events will as always start and end at 12 AM UTC on their respective days.

The newest Assassin and Necromancer ST Tokens for crafting their respective ST Sets will now drop from:

[h3]Others[/h3]

• Fixed a problem in Sulfurous Wetlands where the portal wasn’t flashing before expiring.
  
• The Halloween Nexus and Gods Reskins left the Realm.
  
• Fixed an issue with the Shatters Rehearsal Crown not dropping from the Kings Rehersal Fight.
  
• Fixed an issue of the new Wetlands UTs showing up in the Forge when selecting STs.
  

Realmers!

This weekend we have something a little bit different coming up on our testing servers. As some of you might remember from our Producer Letter earlier this year, we are still working on our Seasonality feature.

This weekend you will be able to test Seasonal Characters. In order to fully test this feature we will have two different seasons active. The first starts today on Friday and lasts until Saturday noon. Once the first season is over, season 2 will start five minutes later and last until Monday 6 AM UTC. In order to make testing easier, we reduced the amount of BXP needed for the Battlepass on our Testing Server.

Per design, you won't be able to purchase the exalted pass in the last 24 hours of the season.

[h3]Seasonal Characters[/h3]

Seasonal Characters are a new way to play RotMG. When you create a new character, you can choose to make them ‘Seasonal'.

Spooky spooky Realmers!

The end of the month is approaching and this means we are ready to celebrate Halloween! Additionally, you might now be able to access our newest dungeon in Realm of the Mad God. The Sulfurous Wetlands created by MOONSHOOT! Make sure to enter the dungeon with the right attire and don't get yourself wet.

[h3]Nexus and God Reskins[/h3]

Our Nexus once again received a Reskin that fits more to the theme of Halloween. Additionally, some of our gods got hit by loose spells and transformed into their alter egos.

• Cube God
  
• Cube Overseer
  
• Cube Defender
  
• Cube Blaster
  
• Grand Sphinx
  
• Hermit God
  
• Hermit Minion
  
• Hermit God Tentacle
  
• Water Mine
  
• Beach Spectre
  
• Vengeful Spirit
  
• Ghost Ship
  

[h3]Sulfurous Wetlands Dungeon[/h3]

As a branch fell into the water, a faint sizzle played. Sinking deeper and deeper into the murky depths, the branch remained intact, almost as if it yearned to ingrain itself at the bottom of the acidic bog. After a short wait, it hit the mire's floor, becoming one of the many interconnected pieces of the warped puzzle. The sphere of influence grew for the now dormant heart. Solitude across the generations has led to only involuntary expansion. The failure of a curse, the madness spawned from the desire for power, both culminated to this endpoint.

Suddenly, a new energy emerged seemingly out of nowhere. The roots of the once beloved willow tree rustled beneath the muddied earth, almost as if it was reaching out to reclaim the days of old.
Welcome to the Sulfurous Wetlands.

The Wetlands will be dropping from a new godlands mob: The Grand Dragonfly, with its availability being akin to mobs such as the Sting Spider, Corsair Crab, and Great Owl. It shares a similar difficulty level as the counterparts above and aims to give the area another challenging yet rewarding experience.

Special thanks are going out to everyone involved in creating this dungeon!

Realmers!

Time is running and we are getting closer to the end of the year. Recently Month of the Mad God ended and also our Back to School Event found its end. Now its time to jump into the Shatters Rehearsal Event! Fight our three Shatters Bosses separately, learn their mechanics and receive some of the new loot! You can find out everything you need to know about the Shatters Rehearsal, new ST Sets, Battlepass Season 2 and so much more down below.

[h2]Shatters Rehearsal[/h2]

We know some of our players might want to learn Shatters, but find learning not one but three bosses a bit overwhelming. Thinking of them, we have decided to create the Rehearsal Dungeon Mods for Shatters.
Rehearsal mods cannot be accessed normally nor through key refining. For the moment you will be able to access these mods during special event periods like the one described below.

[h2]The Rehearsal Dungeon Modifiers:[/h2]

They allow you to enter a portion of Shatters where you will fight one of the three bosses. The rest of the dungeon is not accessible in a Rehearsal version.

This bossfight is a modified version, its difficulty scaling is reduced from the regular Shatters and has the following modifiers across all enemies in the shatters.

1. 20% reduce damage
   
2. 15% less health
   
3. The loot of the bossfight is altered from the regular Shatters.
   

[h2]Shatters Rehearsal Loot[/h2]

The regular loot from the Shatters will not drop from a Rehearsal Version. Instead, the Rehearsal Shatters have a chance of dropping Rehearsal version of the items. These items have similar mechanics, and albeit powerful on their own, they aren’t as powerful as their “true” counterparts from the regular Shatters.
