Orchidna may have mistakenly opened the gates of the garden, but we will intentionally push them wide open. With this new Content Update, you’ll have the chance to check out the highly awaited, Garden of the Gods!

[h3]Garden of the Gods Update[/h3]

The Garden is a separate place from the world of Erenor that can only be reached through the Gate of the Garden, found at The Navel of the World in high Eastern Hiram Mountains. Beginning 11th June, you will have the chance to open the door and be greeted by Kyprosa, the gatekeeper, and dwell upon the breath-taking and magical garden. Finally, you'll stand in the place it all began. Experience new raids where you will challenge Anthalon, whose soul was brought back to the body and inherited Kyrios' corrupted desire.

[h3]Giveaway[/h3]

As a thank you, we would like to reward you with the Brown Shiba Inu* pet for sticking with us in Erenor. To claim this cuddly pet, login and claim it through our marketplace after the marketplace update on May 14th! Thank you for your loyalty towards ArcheAge: Unchained and ArcheAge!
*Can only be claimed once per account

[h3]Be prepared![/h3]

In order to prepare yourself for this major update, we suggest you take part in our Equipment Growth event starting at 14.05 and ending at 04.06.
More information can be found in a separate post.

Always keep an eye out on our social media sites for more teasers in the upcoming weeks. We’re excited to show you what’s coming this June!

Feel free to share your thoughts on the Forum and Discord!

The wait is finally over!
ArcheAge awakens with the Rock ‘n Scroll Event starting from April 30th till May 20th. Get your Ruby from the Marketplace for 50 Gilda Stars – you can get 2 per account – and game on!

For every hour you play, you’ll be rewarded with a Gem Upgrade Scroll which you can use for a chance to upgrade your Ruby to a Garnet, a Topaz, and others until you acquire the coveted Prismatic Diamond. These Scrolls work similarly to Awakening, so there’s always a chance to fail!

Worry not, Adventurer. The longer you play, the more scrolls you get to try and try again until success is yours!

But what do I do with these gems?
Great question!
Locate the Gem Exchanger in Mirage Isle (hint: down the stairs directly on your right!) and open it to find all of the lovely rewards you can gain from your precious minerals.

Ruby (Rank 1) – 50 Gilda Stars
Garnet (Rank 2) – 2x Decrystallization Scrolls
Topaz (Rank 3) – 10 x Bound Double Hunting XP Elixir

Crystal (Rank 9) – Radiant Hiram Infusion x200

Known Issues
• The Superior Serendipity Stone Crate is missing the last 4% in its tooltip.
• The Nightfire Glider’s Ability “Glider Charge” is not canceled when trying to close the glider.
• Coral’s jump actually is more of a hop while moving. If you stand and use it, you can use the full range of the jump, though.

Everyone needs a boost every now and again, and adventurers are no different. From April 30th until June 4th we've worked together with the quest givers in Reedwind, Sungold Fields, Exeloch, Western Hiram Mountains, and Eastern Hiram Mountains and convinced them to double their quest rewards! That means double the infusions and double the awakening scrolls!

What quests count?
Great question Adventurer! The quests that have been doubled in this event follow:

Guardian of Reedwind
Guardian of Sungold Fields
Guardian of Exeloch
Raiders of Reedwind
Raiders of Sungold Fields
Raiders of Exeloch
Mutated Animals
The Abyssal Legion
Animal Control
Millennium Mammoths
Black Forest Treants
Stop the Abyssal Legion
Haradium Abominations

Remember, these double rewards won't stay forever so let's get busy!

It's the time of year where the Daru need help caring for this year's batch of eggs! Tend to your own egg and keep it content by sensing what it's in need of. Eggwarden Dolbu will certainly reward you for your assistance helping them during such a busy and important time!

After maintenance on April 30th, Ahnimar will be granted a Festival Period lasting until May 14th at 1 AM UTC where anyone Level 30+ can participate in daily quests for the Daru Festival. To get to Ahnimar, take the World Gate in Diamond Shores, Marianople, or Austera!

First, meet with Tarini in the Community Center to begin your task of assisting with the Daru's precious eggs in the Lotus Song Garden! After speaking with the Eggwarden Dolbu, take your Daru Egg Cradle for a spin through the Incubator, and tend to its every need in the Hatchery. A happy egg will take a 10-minute nap after which it can be returned to Dolbu where you will be rewarded with Daru Festival Coins to exchange for various goods in Mirage Isle! Neglectful egg-sitters beware: after 10 hours, these Egg Cradles will expire.

And there's plenty more to do after you've nurtured your egg! Assist the Daru further by constructing more incubators, protect the eggs from the Skyfins who are threatening to crash the festival, and search for treasure 3x per day for Ian!

Doing your part and assisting the Daru can contribute to 16 event-related achievements. If you're lucky enough to get an Astra-Blessed Egg, you'll be rewarded with an Astra-Blessed Crate, a shiny new title, and a Mini Egg Cradle for your house.

Now for the rewards! You can exchange your Daru Festival Coins for the following goods at the Festival Gift Exchanger in Mirage Isle:

The Great Mission - 15 Daru Festival Coins and The Great Mission Scroll #1,#2, and #3
Daru Crest Frame - 50 Daru Festival Coins
Hoverbloom Flowerbed - 25 Daru Festival Coins
Daroccoli Flowerbed - 25 Daru Festival Coins

Mossy-Moss Armchair - 30 Daru Festival Coins
Mini-Cradle - 20 Daru Festival Coins
