As the summer cools down, Vocation support is on the way! Beginning August 26, after the weekly maintenance, take advantage of discounted goods from the Vocation Shop with 20% off various items you can tend, give to your Farmhand, or use to expand your Vocation Proficiencies!

[h3]What items are on discount?[/h3]
Everything! Everything? Yes, everything you see in the Vocation Shop will be available with a 20% discount. From saplings, seeds, and livestock to furniture, fish, and special equipment – shop to your heart’s content!

However, all good things come to an end and this discount ends on September 9 before the maintenance. So, don’t wait to start your shopping spree!

Starting August 13 and lasting until August 16, ArcheAge and ArcheAge: Unchained welcomes the return of the Double Event!

[h2]What's Doubled?[/h2]
Everything! Stay in, log in daily and take advantage of Double Experience - level up your characters even faster; Double Loot Drop Rate - better your chance to get that item you've always wanted; Double Honor Points - get the most out of your battles during war; and Double Vocation Badges - exchange this currency for special vocation goods such as seeds, saplings, furniture, livestock, and much more!

Don't let this opportunity pass you by as the Double Event ends on August 16 at 8PM UTC!

The power is now in your hands with the brand new Power Unbound event coming to ArcheAge and ArcheAge: Unchained on August 12!

Head to Mirage Isle and get to work on the new Grimoire Workbench and turn your 10 Paper and 2 Blue Salt Hammers into Special Scrolls. To get to Mirage Isle, take any of the portals throughout Erenor in most cities, towns, and safe zones. Afterward, you can use the Special Scroll to turn into a random Grimoire!"

[h2]What are the Grimoires and what do they do?[/h2]
Bound Haste Grimoire - Increases Move Speed +10% for 1 hour
Bound Promise Grimoire - Increases all stats +70 for 1 hour

This event is only here for a short while and will end on September 2! The Workbench will disappear from Mirage Isle, but don't fret - the Grimoires won't disappear!
