It is finally time to start the yearly Month of the Mad God! You will be able to take part in the Echoes of Destiny Event, unlock Enchantments, gain points for our free campaign, and later even fight the Advanced Nest!
So let’s jump right in!
This Month of the Mad God you will decide between four fighting disciplines. The first week will start with the Sniper Discipline and the next weeks will be decided based on voting on discord. So come and join us!
Active when MotMG starts:
Sniper – Kogbold Express realm event
Up for voting on Discord:
Stalwart
Swiftblade – Echoes of Vindication in Hidden Interregnum Realm event
Magus
During this time you will be able to receive Discipline Tokens in those dungeons for this week’s active Discipline. Which means for week 1, Sniper Tokens will drop. They have a 30% chance to drop. The Mastery Token drops in all of the above mentioned Event Dungeons with a 100% chance. The Tokens can be used at the Tinkerer for specific quests. Keep in mind they are only active during the week’s Discipline.
During the last week, all disciplines will be on focus and the Discipline tokens will not be part of the requirements for these quests.

You will be able to get skins from the Stone, Kingdom,Antinomy and Syndicate Collection via our new Chest System that allows you to pick your reward.
You need to gather specific tokens in order to create Collection Chests. 10 of them turn into 1 Chest.

Echoes of Antinomy
Echoes of Vindication
You will be able to get Echoes of Stone from Chest Events in Cursed Library and Puppet Master’s Theatre, Echoes of a Mad God from the events in Parasite Chambers and Mountain Temple, Echoes of Antimony from the Void and last but not least, Echoes of Vindication from the Hidden Interregnum and the mercenaries during their respective event.
Aside from that, all Construction Gear except the Foreman’s Hard Hat will drop in some formerly reconstructed dungeons with Chest Events. While Foreman’s Hard Hat will be obtainable via Mad God Mayhem.
Each weapon type will get a thematic reskin, and will also grant players +8% XP when killing monsters. They are soulbound.
They will be available via different means during MotMG.
During Month of the Mad God you will be able to take part in our Free Campaign to gather some free items! The Campaigns offers various Shop Items but also Skins of the Kobgold Collection, Aspirant Items and an exclusive pet skin and more!
In order to participate in the Campaign, you have to beat Realm Boss Encounters and Dungeon Bosses which drop Campaign Tokens.
Campaign tokens:
This season and Month of the Mad God players will be able to acquire pieces of the Aspirant’s Set. These sets are made from a weapon, armor, and four rings. These rings represent different combat disciplines, Stalwart, Sniper, Swiftblade, and Magus. Wearing the weapon and armor with the rings will give you additional bonuses for that combat discipline.
In addition, we are leveraging the new enchantment system to add more depth to these items. Like the rings, four engravings exist matching a combat discipline, and these engravings can be applied to any of the Aspirant’s Items, weapons, armor, or ring. When applied to a weapon they will increase their damage and change the shot pattern based on which engraving is used. Armors gain a stat boost corresponding to the combat discipline, and rings gain additional effects. Players are free to mix and match these engravings as they wish, but the rings can only accept an engraving of the same type, for example, a Ring of the Stalwart can only have the Path of the Stalwart Engraving Applied.
We are once again bringing back a Bounty! This time with the MotMG Theme. For almost every pack or bundle purchase over 249 Gold you will receive 1 MotMG Gift. When redeemed they will give you one of many items with a chance of getting the MotMG Treasure.
The full Enchantment system will be released with this update. It adds the ability to enchant tiered equipment with abilities of your choice to better help them adapt to your playstyle.
This is not the full, final form which Enchantments will take. As people may remember, the initial version was Seasonal only, which meant that items at the end game could become more powerful as they would be in Seasonal mode only. As a result Enchantments will evolve as the end game progresses, adding more powerful options as well as new items which can be enchanted. So Tier 14 weapons, for instance, might have more powerful stat adds, greater range, or just 2 slots to enchant instead of 1. As a result, your powers will improve alongside the increased challenge of the content as the endgame moves into new territory.
As noted by people in the release of the Engravings system, the cost to unlock slots was quite high. We were trying to balance them between the fact that we want them to be available for players, without making them too common until more content of Difficulty 10 has been released to avoid significant power creep. As a result of feedback, all slot costs have been dropped to allow more enchantments to be utilized, and will be reviewed as more content, such as the Realm Rework, adds places where Engraved UT’s and Enchanted items are required for efficient farming.
The following items will all gain a single Enchantment slot.

Dust will now be dropped from all Exaltation dungeons at differing rates based on the difficulty of the content, not just Advanced Steamworks. The only color will remain Green for now, and the drop rate will be an average value. Seasonal players will receive a 15% bonus to the amount of dust dropped!
Enchantments
As there are a LOT of Enchantment options, here is a brief overview:
Applying Enchantments
Enchantments are applied at the Enchanter NPC, located in your vault.
The Enchanter will be able to apply Engravings to any items you have on you or in your backpack which have slots.
IMPORTANT NOTE – Existing items from the list above will not have slots. Only items dropped or forged, gained from dungeon event chests & Tinkerer Quest Chests after this release can have a slot.
Opening the Enchanting menu will show the following:
| Key | Description |
| 1 | Item List – all items which can be enchanted will appear here. Only items from your worn inventory or backpack will be displayed. Vault and gift chest items will not appear, for example, nor will items on your other characters.The currently selected item will highlight blue, as shown here. |
| 2 | Filters – when tiered items become enchantable, these will allow quick filtering and searching. |
| 3 | Currently selected items are highlighted in blue for ease of reference. |
| 4 | Dust – displays how much green dust you have available. |
| 5 | Slots – this shows how many available slots the item has for enchantments.This item has already had a slot unlocked, which is why it shows the word ‘empty’, and can be cleared if an enchantment is placed into the slot. |
| 6 | Enchantments – The list of enchantments which can be applied to this item will be shown here. |
| 7 | Enchantments you have yet to unlock will show the price in Dust it takes to unlock them. If you have unlocked an Enchantment, it can be dragged into a slot or the Apply button can be used to do so automatically. |
| 8 | If you want to know more details about an Enchantment, you can hover over it to see what the effect will be. |
Enchantments are purchased per item. This means that if you have two weapons of the same type you will need to pay to unlock their slots and any individual Enchantments you want to apply to them one at a time. However, once you have bought them they are free to add, remove and swap as much as you like.
Introducing the Advanced Nest, similar to the Advanced Steamworks this is a harder version of the Nest that has increased rewards and some new engravings.
In addition to damage and health multipliers across the dungeon, the Advanced Nest also features a fourth family of bees. The green bees you will find within will be slower but more durable than the normal bees, and they will inflict Unstable and rarely Sick.
The Killer Bee Queen also features some new attacks and changes to existing attacks in order to incorporate this fourth bee family.
The dungeon will not be accessible at the start of Month of the Mad God.
Buzzing Bullets Engraving: Adds a burst of bee projectiles that deal 80 armor piercing damage each to the following weapons (Bogwood Crook, Pirate Kings Cutlass, Wand of the Fallen, Queen’s Stinger Dagger, Doku No Ken, Leaf Bow)
Living Hive engraving: Grants +60 hp and spawns small bees when you are hit that deal 115 damage every 0.4 seconds (Spawn cooldown: 2 seconds). Applies to the Lair of Draconis and Beeheemoth armors. If it is applied to a Beeheemoth armor it also grants +5 Speed.
Might of the Bumblebees: Grants +5 Def and +5 Dex. Applies to the Tomb of the Ancient Rings.
A new repeatable mission “Enchantment Essence” will be available in the currently active mission tree that will grant you another source of Green Dust.
