Realm of the Mad God Exalt News

Realm Reconstruction Crew!

The day has arrived. The biggest MotMG to date begins today! Put on your hard hats and reflective vests and get in the spirit of Reconstruction - take part in the continuous rebuilding of our beloved game into something ever better! There is always plenty for us to do at the (Re)construction site, and you’re about to dig into the heftiest patch notes to date. Fitting them all into this post would be unwieldy, so there is a link further down to all the minutiae of what has been going on behind the scenes. And there will be plenty for you to do, too, if you take a look at the MotMG Reconstruction Event Calendar!

• Fixed some issues that caused disconnections(e.g. when players are fighting Beisa in Oryx’s Sanctuary).
  
• Fixed issue with decimal points displaying in the Pentaract Tower Boss’ HP Bar.
  
• Death in a dungeon will no longer occasionally reduce the Dungeon completed count in the Exaltation panel.
  
• Exaltation points on a non-maxed stat will no longer display the stat as maxed when reaching the threshold.
  
• The boss’ quest marker in the Cultist Hideout now shows correctly.
  
• “Cancel” and “Submit” buttons now appear correctly in the “Change Your Password” menu.
  

• Fixed issue with accessing the boss room in Undead Lair.
  
• Visual issue fixed: Exaltation progress bar can no longer be moved via left click.
  
• Invoice page after gold purchase with Xsolla now displays correctly.
  
• Negative stats effect from equipment now reflects when gear is equipped.
  
• Description of the Mystery ST Crate updated with the latest ST set.
  

Realm of the Mad God: Exalt stands on the shoulders of the giant that was Flash. Many of us (and you, we think) have fond memories not only of our own little big Flash game, but of the creativity and fun that this unique development ecosystem made possible. With Flash going away for good later this year, the time has come for Realm Exalt to hop out of the nest and soar. Starting today, Flash will no longer be an option on Steam, the website will not host the Flash client, and Realm will no longer be on Kongregate. Farewell, old friend! Big F...



For the most meticulous of the crew, here is a very exhaustive list of changes. For those eager for a review, read on!

[h2]The New Systems[/h2]

[h3]Vital Combat[/h3]

Vital Combat is a brand new gameplay system that affects Health and Mana regeneration via Pet abilities and the Vitality and Wisdom stats. Vital Combat is meant to address the long-term health of the metagame by looking at just how players are challenged by the content.

• When you are hit by a certain amount of damage, you will enter the In Combat state. This puts your WIS and VIT regeneration at half speed*, and adds a 2 second delay to your Pet’s abilities. The condition lasts for a base duration of 7 seconds but it is affected by your Vitality. For every 5 VIT the duration is reduced by 0.2 seconds with a minimum duration of 1 second.
  
• The regeneration speed of VIT and WIS has been doubled, which means that while In Combat you will passively regenerate as before, and while Out of Combat you will regenerate much faster!
  
• The amount of damage to enter the In Combat state is scaled based on your Defense. You can see this Combat Trigger value by hovering over the new Vital Combat tooltip above your Fame bar.

[h3]Exaltations[/h3]

Exaltation is the new endgame progression system, which will reward you with permanent upgrades for the stats of your Exalted classes. It will revolve around the endgame dungeons:



Whenever your 8/8 character finishes one of these dungeons by killing the boss, the completion is counted in the Exaltation system towards the corresponding stat for the class you are using.

If you reach a certain amount of completions in each stat, you get stat bonuses. You can reach up to 5 stat bonuses in each stat. Every stat bonus gives you an increase of +1 to the stat (+5 to HP/MP), and they are permanent for that class. Forever.

The Exaltation rewards certainly do not end with stat bonuses!

• The Fast Learner Exaltations will give you a permanent bonus to XP gain on a certain class every time you achieve a certain amount of any stat bonuses on that class.
  
• The Mastery Exaltations will give you a weapon attack damage bonus when you achieve a certain amount of each stat bonus of a class.
  
• The Armor Proficiency Exaltations will decrease the time spent In Combat when you achieve bonuses in all stats on classes that wear the same armor type.
  
• The Weapon Proficiency Exaltations will reward you with higher drop rates on all items when you achieve bonuses in all stats on classes that use the same weapon type.
  

Not only will your Exalted classes be powerful, they’ll look it too! If you achieve the impressive feat of maxing out all stats on a class, you will receive the Exalted Skin for that class and decorate your Vault with new Golden Statues.

And while you are busy grinding out stat bonuses for any and all classes, you will be receiving these exclusive Pet Skins... until you max out all of them, and receive a permanent 10% drop rate on all classes!

[h3]The Appetizer[/h3]

This gourmand has a twisted relationship with food, hoarding it for himself yet utilizing it as a humiliating weapon. You will meet this new event boss next week and have the chance to punch him until he turns into little piles of food himself!

The Appetizer will spawn in the Mountains after all Red Demons are defeated. Along with him, three Food Piles spawn across the map. The Appetizer teleports to the food piles one by one and his properties change based on the Food Pile that he is next to.

The Food Piles will have a chance to drop their respective type of Food or a Mystery Stat Pot. They will also drop a guaranteed Food Voucher x1 token which stacks up to 40. You can double click the stack to turn it into a Food item - you can see the possible options in the full changelog document linked above.

The Appetizer will also drop a guaranteed Food Voucher x1. He can also drop any of the five Food Pile foods, Mystery Stat Pots, and a hefty Rogue Skin.

[h2]The Reconstructed[/h2]

Realm is a decade old game that is still growing and moving forward, and we do not want older content to be left behind and feel obsolete. There must be a place and purpose for all, and shiny new sprites to boot!

The Pirate Cave, Spider Den, Snake Pit, Undead Lair, and Abyss of Demons have received dramatic overhauls in all aspects, with some much lighter changes to the Forest Maze as well. Even the Keyper has seen improvements and balance tweaks! We’ve got plenty of details in the full changelog linked earlier, so we recommend checking it out!

Stay up to date on which events are going to be active during MotMG in this thread. The thread will be updated each week.

More detailed info here!

[h2]UT and ST Increased Drop Rates[/h2]

As we mentioned last Friday, the old Archer and Rogue ST sets are now dropping with an increased drop rate!

The majority of the UTs and STs across the board are now also dropping with an increased drop rate as well! A complete list of individual items with buffed rates has been included in the full changelog document.

More detailed info here!

[h2]Other Fixes and Improvements[/h2]

• Randomly offset ground tile sprites now work on Exalt, allowing for more natural looking textures like grass with less obvious tiling.
  
• Added Vital Combat and Exaltation pages to the in-game Journal.
  
• Fixed “Player on Top“ option to not show other players’ projectiles and status effects on your character.
  
• Fixed DC issues:
  

1. when trading with a player who has special characters in the name.
   
2. when wearing the following set: Divinity + Seal of the Battle God + Mercy's Bane + Ring of Unbound Attack.
   
3. when using Cursed Spire Spell and changing the area right before it explodes.
   

• Fixed display issue of the Immune status on enemies.
  
• Fixed issue with a character’s death not showing in the graveyard.
  
• Fixed various tooltips typos.
  

[h2]Misc[/h2]

[h2]Discord Reconstruction Event[/h2]

Head over to the official Discord for a special event that ties in to the F2P campaign! By making progress in the campaign, you'll be able to help reconstruct dungeons with the help of other players on discord. Earn tokens that can be redeemed for raffle tickets with a prize pool of 48,000 Realm Gold! For more information, check the #event-info on the server.


Last but not least, getting all of the MotMG content and features to you took a lot of time and effort not only on our part, but on our amazing Testers and UGC members who created the stunning decorations you can all see in the Vault, Nexus and GHall; the creative construction versions of the encounters you’re about to see; and the fun and colorful character and pet skins! So, once again, we want to express our gratitude for your support and dedication! We know it might be hard sometimes but your patience and expertise is one of the main factors that drives Realm of the Mad God forward!

Hey there, Realmers!

MotMG is almost here! We are very excited for the biggest update in the history of RotMG and we hope you are too! We want YOU to be a part of it, so gather screws, nails and planks! Equip your helmets and get your tools! Be a part of RECONSTRUCTION!

As already announced, we have a new Campaign prepared for you for this year's Month of the Mad God. We would like to shed some light on the details. Let’s see what's coming ahead.

We want to start by saying that the new Campaign will be Free2Play, so all of you can bask in the MotMG madness that's about to unravel! The Campaign will roll out together with the release of MotMG: Reconstruction.



Start: September 23rd, 2020
End: October 26th, 2020 at 12:00 PM UTC
Grace Period: 2 days (till October 28th, 2020 at 11:00 AM UTC)
Quests at the Tinkerer: till October 28th, 2020 at 11:00 AM UTC



As always, you must first unlock the Campaign in order to start progressing in it. You will then have to do your part in the Reconstruction by collecting all the mats needed for the work - Nail, Screw and Plank tokens.

Important: Purchases made in the shop or Nexus DO NOT COUNT towards your progress in the campaign! Only tokens and direct donations count towards it!



Starting Wednesday after release, the tokens we’ve already mentioned above will start dropping for you in various dungeons and in the Realm. Each token is worth a certain amount of points when consumed:

• Nails are worth 5 points each and would stack up to 20;
  
• Screws are worth 10 points each and would stack up to 15;
  
• Planks are worth 15 points each and would stack up to 50.
  

What's more, we want to help you get under way faster, so the first Free pack that we have in store for you during MotMG, will grant you 6 Nails, 5 Screws and 3 Planks, for a total of 125 points!



Check the following list in order to maximise your contribution to the Reconstruction, and maximise your rewards.



Those same tokens have an additional purpose! You may want to visit The Tinkerer and check what he has to offer in exchange for the right tokens.



The Construction Weapon Box can be exchanged for one of Nail Gun Bow, Hammer Sword, Measuring Wand, Sawblade Katana, Screwdriver Staff or Spatula Dagger.

The Construction Armor Box will grant you a choice between Magic Construction Vest, Fitted Construction Vest or Heavy Construction Vest.

The Construction Skin Agreement will allow you to get your hands on one of the Reconstruction-themed skins for each class.

Construction Goodie Bag Contains:

• Backpack
  
• Chaos Cake
  
• Epic Mystery Key
  
• Fitted Construction Vest
  
• Golden Lucky Clover
  
• Hammer Sword
  
• Heavy Construction Vest
  
• Large Cone Cloth
  
• Large Construction Cloth
  
• Legendary Mystery Key
  
• Loot Drop Potion
  
• Loot Tier Potion
  
• Lucky Clover
  
• Magic Construction Vest
  
• Measuring Wand
  
• Mystery ST Shard x1
  
• Mystery Stat Pot
  
• Nail Gun Bow
  
• Potion of Max Level 1
  
• Power Pizza
  
• Rare Mystery Key
  
• Sawblade Katana
  
• Screwdriver Staff
  
• Shard of the Intern x1
  
• Small Cone Cloth
  
• Small Construction Cloth
  
• Spatula Dagger
  

When it comes to Reconstruction, safety is always first! Therefore, each worker will have their own hard hat, with these separated into three tiers. You will start with the Laborer's Hard Hat, working your way to the Operator's Hard Hat that the Tinkerer offers. The ultimate Campaign reward will be the Foreman's Hard Hat, reflecting your journey from a Beginner to a Pro Construction Worker.

Each Hard Hat can be worn with a Construction Weapon and a Construction Vest. The higher
the hat's tier, the more powerful bonus you'll get from your Construction gear!

It’s only in this campaign that you will get the chance to get the Beefcake Construction Knight Skin!

Hello Realmers!

Last week we caught a glimpse of what you can expect from this year’s MotMG: Reconstruction. So let’s do a recap and give you more details on some of the upcoming content!

[h2]What’s to come in Month of the Mad God: Reconstruction?[/h2]

This year, we will have two major MotMG updates.

[h3]Part I (September 23rd):[/h3]

• Exaltation
  

This brand new system of permanent progression will help you make the most of every endgame dungeon run! Many of you are probably already familiar with this from our public testing session, though there have been some changes since then based on the feedback we received.

We’re excited to release this and give even the most accomplished players more goals to seek! Perhaps the Keyper will lend you a hand in this perilous journey while showing off some changes of his own?

• Dungeon Reconstructions
  

The time has come! We all know Realm of the Mad God goes way back (closing in on 10 years!), so a little bit of reconstruction was needed to freshen things up a bit, hence the 2020 theme.

Some of the known encounters faces in the Realm may also change in the upcoming days. So take a good look at them now and try to spot the difference when the time comes.

• The Appetizer
  

This sloppy chef stole almost all the pet food in the realm and is trying to pick a quarrel with you, Realmers... We hope you’re ready for a food fight!

• Vital Combat
  

There is no need for an introduction on this one. A lot of you already saw this feature in action and left your thoughts and feedback. Soon you will all experience the most updated version - September 23rd!

• F in chat for Flash
  

We have plenty of memories with the Flash client (spaghetti code). With the release of MotMG, we will also say goodbye to our old friend - on the website, Steam, and Kongregate. We hope you already transitioned to the Unity client and, of course, enjoy it!


[h3]Part II (TBA):[/h3]

• Fame Rework
  

As promised in a previous producer’s letter, a major rework to fame bonuses and XP gain is coming! We are massively expanding the kinds of achievements you get rewarded through in normal gameplay, as well as ensuring XP gain properly matches the challenge level of the content you’re facing. You can even see a small peek at these new bonuses and statistics in the latest trailer!

While all these new bonuses and calculations will make fame more naturally rewarding overall, we also know that some people still have living characters created specifically to maximize the current set of restrictive bonuses. Since death fame will be handled in a totally different way after this rework, we wanted to give a heads up that these players may want to kill off their characters before the release. We will give an exact date soon, but be prepared! From now on, fame bonuses will reward action over inaction.

• New Vault/UI
  

Make some space for the new Vault, bringing you new ways to store your potions and straighten your stash! The classic vault will also get a new modern look! We hope you'll like it once you get to play with it. We wanted to make it super shiny and convenient.

• New Dungeon: High Tech Terror
  

A brand new boss dungeon is on its way! Manipulate the iconic transformation vats of the Mad Lab to your advantage when facing off against the F.E.R.A.L., Oryx’s latest court member. This devious and fast paced fight is sure to keep you on your toes.

After more than a month of craziness, MotMG Reconstruction will come to an end on October 28th to make way for other exciting features and improvements!

In the meantime, check out what other events are to come during MotMG with this year’s edition of the MotMG Event Calendar!

[h2]Bonus Program Updates[/h2]

[h3]End of the War STory IV Bonus Program[/h3]

Now that this one has ended, both the new Treasure Hunter Archer and Vampire Rogue ST sets will start dropping in-game with the next release. Happy hunting!

[h3]A MotMG F2P Campaign?[/h3]

We just had an ST one, why not have a more special F2P Campaign for MotMG? More on that soon, so stay tuned!

[h2]FREE PACKAGES INCOMING![/h2]

For the duration of this special time of year, you will get not 1 but 4 FREE packages! The first 3 will drop with the release this Wednesday and the 4th one with the release after that, so don't forget to check your in-game Mystery Shop! More on what they contain soon!

[h2]Flash-connected Services Update[/h2]

Since the Flash client will be removed, we wanted to give you a heads up that some of the services that are currently using it might experience some issues (like RealmEye). We are in the process of creating an API, so those said services can soon continue providing the information about the game that we are all used to! If you do have such a service, you can get in touch with us at [email protected] to apply!

Help us with the reconstruction of the Realm of the Mad God! Join us on September 23rd and bring your protective helmets and working pants… rebuilding a game takes hard work!

Hello Realmers,

We are preparing for another QnA session later today! Join CussingCanadian as he asks your questions to Menichko, Kiddforce, Mrunibro, Toast today (September 17th) at 5:30 PM GMT +2.

Also, don't forget that you have 3 more days (till September 20th) to submit to the Dungeon Art Contest!

Talk to you soon!

Welcome to the MotMG Countdown edition of Make a Wish!

The countdown to the start of this year’s MotMG is now on! To commemorate this, let’s have another Make a Wish event, we know y’all love those!

[h2]What is a Make a Wish?[/h2]

It’s a community’s raffle in which you can win an in-game item of your choice (with some limitations, see Notes below)! It will involve this Reddit post and in-game logins.

[h2]How do I participate in this raffle?[/h2]

Super easy! Starting today, September 14th, until September 23rd at 11:00 AM UTC you have to do 2 things:

• Reddit part
  

All you have to do is write your in-game name here in the comments below, pick 1 (one) in-game item of choice you’d like to receive as a FREE gift.

• In-game part
  

Each of the days you log in (during the event) is an “entry ticket”. So, if you log in on all days of the event, you will have x10 tickets which gives you more chances of winning the raffle! If you can’t log in every day, you can still be in the running with as little as 1 log in during the event!

[h3]Recap[/h3]

• Write your in-game name and 1 item of choice here in this thread as a comment!
  
• Try to log in as many times as you can during this event! The more logins, the better your chances are!
  
• Enjoy the event and the upcoming MotMG. Good luck!
  

A lot of Realmers showed up for the Make a Wish event! After the 6.5k (!!!) awesomeness we saw the last time we reviewed the thread, we decided... to QUINTUPLE (you read right!) the rewards! 100 Realmers will get their wish come true! Let's go!
