Realm of the Mad God Exalt News

Realmers,

Welcome to this testing session! This week we are inviting you to test the Realms directly! We have made some fairly simple, but hopefully effective changes to speed up the pacing of Realms!
Please note that:
You need to select “Testing” from the upper right launcher menu in order to enter this testing session. If you don’t have a Testing account you’ll need to create one. Your regular production account will not be of any use there.

Please check the blog entry to find out all the features that are up for testing.

Hello Realmers,

The newest update to Realm is coming today! New exciting things are coming to Realm. Two dungeons long in need of a touch-up -- the Mountain Temple and Lair of Draconis -- are finally hitting the live game with many great gameplay changes, we hope you enjoy the experience these refreshed dungeons will now bring! Another long-awaited change is a rework to Bows, try them out in-game and let us know what you think of them in the blog comments. Let's not forget about the two new campaigns we are bringing into the game. Elemental Easter is coming with a big event schedule, make sure to check out the overview down below.

Water, Air, Fire, Earth. The Masters followed a strict routine that trained the mind and body in conjunction with the Elements. This training method, never completely forgotten but lost to the waves of time, is now resurfacing again thanks to the inspiration provided by the Masters who have reunited after centuries of adventures.
The carefree friend of Flames. The voice who calls the Storms. The guardian and nurturer of the Earth. The sword that bends the Ocean waves.
Together, the four masters have brought ancient knowledge back to the Nexus heroes, and taught them to use their weapons, and more importantly their minds, in a focused, enhanced manner.
While the Four had a common cause in helping the Heroes improve their prowess, they took a peculiar interest in the Kensei, Summoner, and Bard, bestowing them with ancient artifacts and the knowledge to use them. Those artifacts had long-awaited for the Heroes worthy of using them to appear and now, they shine as bright as the motivation of those who will take them into battle

We prepared two campaigns for all of you to enjoy! The first one, Nature's Upheaval, starts today and will get the festive mood going. Nature's Upheaval will end on April 11, 12 PM UTC but will have a Grace period until April 13, 12 PM UTC during which you can claim rewards, but not points.

Realmers!

The Saint Patrick’s Day Event is in full swing! Grab your weapons and go hunt the Leprechaun. May the Four Leaf Clover be on your side.
While you are busy with hunting said foe, we have news about what comes next.
Elemental Catalyst Event

As the unstoppable rise of Spring progresses, as the Realm thaws and hibernating beasts awaken, the Elemental forces that imbue our Realm surge with more power than ever before. The places most defined by these forces will soon be redefined, and adventurers will be able to tap into the raw power of nature. On March 29, 2022, the Elemental Equinox event begins!

But even from next week, the first signs of the motions underway will begin to show.
Visit some places touched by the essence of the Elements, and prepare for what comes next.
Starting on the 24th of March at 12PM until the 28th of March at 12PM, the following locations will spawn with modifiers and multipliers:
Deadwater Docks: Crab Rave I, 1.5x loot and XP
Abyss of Demons: Found Treasure I, 1.5x loot and XP
Sprite World: Souvenir II, 1.5x loot and XP
Toxic Sewers: Found Treasure I, 1.5x loot and XP
In addition, you can keep your Marks from these dungeons to do a few quests

Prepare for the Equinox!

Realmers,

There’s a new Story of War in the Realm and with it comes a fix for the Kensei Dash.
We are also bringing you the new Captcha system which should be a nice way to counter the bots in Realm. So let's jump straight into the new things coming to Realm!

[h3]Captcha[/h3]
The captcha system is something we have been preparing for some time and is a big step towards countering the pesky bots we see in the Realm.

Solving the captcha means clicking the three given shapes on the square picture in the order provided above it. After that, you can submit the result by hitting verify. If successful, you should see the launcher logging into the account. If failed, a new captcha is displayed with the text “Try again” below it. You can submit three wrong results before it locks you out (and displays “Too many failed captchas” popup).

[h3]Fiery Kensei ST Set [/h3]
A young Kensei with amusing skills. She does a short, but strong dash, sprays flames, and spawns extra projectiles on the third use. Her light powerful blade with curving shots is capable of burning even the toughest opponents. Traveling along with her fire lizard, she joins the realm all fired up and ready for battle!

• Fiery Katana
  
• Pyro Sheath
  
• Flame Guard
  
• Firelight Necklace

[h3]Fixes:[/h3]

• Points and progress for a campaign will now update immediately after you make a purchase.
  
• Fixed an issue that caused Unlockers (skin, vault, or character slot) to fail if used in the backpack inventory with shift+click after it has just been opened.
  
• Fixed a bug that caused the Necromancer's Skulls' Tooltips to show the total range of the heal ability incorrectly
  
• Fixed an issue with the Pontifex Ring and Scallywag Slurp Pet Skin, having off-centered icons.
  
• Damage numbers will now be visible for all Area of Effect shots.
  
• Fixed a small visual issue in the shop where the purchase button will show gold for a promotion that is sold for fame instead.
  
• Fixed an issue where you could not scroll the page in shop if you are resting the cursor on the Buy button
  
• Performance improvements
  

Hello Realmers,
As Elemental force surges with nature’s spring upheaval on March 29th, the whole Realm seeks alignments with Earth, Air, Water, or FIRE. When the Kensei arrived, one would never imagine he would bring both water and fire with him. Air and Earth were already there. They have chosen the Bard and Summoner latest ST sets to show their true forms. But trust us, that was only a mere glimpse of what’s to come. Some say that even some old dungeons might be affected by this surge of old, primal energies...
You are now invited to enter the STory of War Bonus Program and claim the Fiery ST Set for yourself.
The STory of War 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.
