Oryxmas is over. Long live Oryx. 2021 looks brighter than ever. This is a small update to have the Realm return to normal, make some Item Forge adjustments and fix some minor issues. Please remember that although the Oryxmas Campaign is over, you still have until Jan 14th (Thursday) at 12 PM UTC to claim all the rewards that you have unlocked. This week we are announcing a Speedrun contest that will take place on the Testing server during the weekend, but we’ll give you more details on that on our Thursday blog post.
Item forge tweaks:
We plan on adding new high-end items to the Item Forge, but at the same time we are gathering data and trying to adjust and balance the values of materials. We realized we will need a new tier for these high-end items, which will require more materials. This will happen in a future update and we’ll keep you updated on it. Also, we are happy to put the forge to more use and consider different options for new craftable items.
This patch brings important changes to the Rune System, as announced, but also to the Item Forge and some rework done on end-game dungeons.
While “cleaning” the portal monuments at the wine cellar, one of Oryx’s minions spilled a bottle of wine into the system that regulates the opening of the Sanctuary. He managed to clean it up before Oryx could see the mess, but the mechanism has never been the same since.
We are very happy with the incorporation of the Blacksmith to the game! We have made some balances to the material values required for items.
Please be reminded we are still monitoring closely the values of the system, adjusting balances, and will continue doing so. Thanks for your feedback!
We are also aware that the naming and icon colors could cause a little bit of confusion, so we are studying changes to both names of ores and colors, in order to improve usability. Also, we want to add new types of craftable items! You will hear more about it in future notes.
We are introducing a variety of polish, balance and quality of life changes, focused mainly on endgame dungeons.
As a bonus we’ve also reworked how Constructs in the mountains work. Rather than heal each other in a circle, they now only heal the construct stronger than them. This means that now any characters can defeat them as long as you take care of them in the right order (Wood > Rock > Steel). Their overall behavior and shot patterns has also been adjusted, they also now all share the same drop table meaning all give Potion of Attack, the same XP and The Machine dungeon.

A big shoutout to CrystalPX, Zquidx and Mizumi for the skins
Our Twitch and Youtube content creator partners now have exclusive skins of their own. Say “Hi, mom!” and wave to the camera if you see one of those in game!

This release makes some important changes to the realm. We are introducing Nilshards and Nildrops and renaming the ore. We are bringing new STs (for the Knight and Necromancer). We’ve also been preparing Belladonna for Valentine’s day, so expect a few tweaks.
In the ancient times, before Oryx was born, the paladins who guarded the Realm discovered a strange but mighty powerful source of energy: The Void. Being wary, and guided by the old precepts of the angelic realms granted to them, they developed a way of channeling the Void into crystal-like forms.
They called them “Nilshards,” as they were made of the rare Nil material.
Nil was forbidden for a long time, mostly due to the disappearance of the paladin church and all the problems it caused during the “White Titan Project,” where the Void Entity caused havok.
However, back in the times, Nilshards were used for a variety of purposes.
The first one is crafting Ores, which will provide materials for your craftings. The Blacksmith will gladly change stacks of Nilshards into Ores depending on their rarity.
With the introduction of Nilshards, the Blacksmith had to sit and explain to us we have decided to change the name of the Ores themselves to better reflect the material type they grant, as we got to understand the Ores’ properties a little bit better.
Nilshards would be obtainable in the Shop and the Daily Login Calendar.
Back in the day before Nilshards were forgotten from existence, elixirs, tonics and other consumables distilled from them were commonly used, and the paladins would use them to enhance their battle capabilities and sustain long, difficult battles when defending the Realm.
Few can forge them today, as the crafts of the old paladin church are seemingly lost. However, they seem to be a piece of cake for the Blacksmith, if you provide her the right amount and rarity of Nilshards, and a little bit of Forgefire.
They provide a stat boost for 5 minutes for everyone around you, and also clears negative status effects when you apply them. The stat boost depends on the Nildrop color.
They can be forged with Rare and Epic Nilshards.
They are a lower version of the standard Nildrops. They also provide a boost for 5 minutes (only for you) and they cannot clear your status effects. Still, they’re a great way of accelerating your early game.
They can be forged with Common Nilshards.
They are hybrid versions of the standard Nildrops, born from the Blacksmith’s experiments. They require rarer Nilshards, but they provide a stronger boost to two attributes simultaneously for 5 minutes, also clearing your negative status effects on usage. They work for allies around you too!
They can be forged with Legendary Nilshards.
We have two new amazing sets for the Knight and Necromancer!
We have made a few balancing tweaks to Belladonna in preparation for Valentine’s Day. Here’s what changed:
Both UTs have had slight sprite changes.
The Gardener
For this year, we are introducing a new encounter for Belladonna. His name is “The Gardener” and he is ready to take on all of you!
You will find this new encounter in the Realm around St. Valentine’s Day.
“The Gardener” will spawn somewhere in the highlands after defeating all the cyclops gods in the realm. But watch out, or you might get soaking wet and have your clothes covered in pieces of green and pink balloons!
The Gardener Drops:
To celebrate love across the Realm, we are introducing a new, truly romantic pet food: the Chocolate Bonbon! This powerful, caloric treat stacks until you can finally double-click the Chocolate Bonbon x6 stack to turn it into an even tastier item: the Heart-shaped Chocolate Box. With this stackable food, you can choose a small FP reduction for an opportunity to save up on feeding costs.
Themed around love and otherwise, here are the beautiful new cosmetics about to hit the Realm.

This patch introduces fixes to some issues reported after the latest release. We are also introducing a free pack today, and a fame box on the weekend to thank you for your patience.
Events’ loot tables will now have additional Nil drops in them.
Today we bring you the equivalent to seatbelts in cars. Well, better than seatbelts because you can see those. We are making security improvements. Like we said before, we have the whole team committed to fixing the issue that caused the weekend exploits and will be releasing a fix for it soon. This one is a programmed release with many fixes for previous issues.
https://imgur.com/a/gWsSiic#N9KgoZY
During the next days or weeks, you might notice a change in Fame prices. This update is related to our adjustments based on the new behaviors and rhythm at which players gain Fame with the new Fame system. This adjustment may affect items in Shop, Nexus, Pet Yard (feeding and Pet Yard upgrade) and Bazaar.
If you, or anyone near you have been affected by ‘keying’, please report to us by sending screenshots / video links of the incident so we can investigate.
With this hotfix we are taking care of the issue that caused the weekend disconnections. Some Players were spamming abilities and crashing the server. We believe to have countered that method for causing the disconnections.
We also repaired the issue that caused players not being able to log into the game or change character if they last played with Halloween sets.
Thank you for your patience, and stay safe.
We haven’t been this excited with a release in a long time! Today we are unleashing a new class, the Summoner, and introducing two major dungeon reworks: Deadwater Docks and Sprite World. There is also a new notification system and a Knowledge Base website.
Finally, we have rolled out the biggest anti-bot measures ever in the history of the Realm. This gives us more and better tools to work with in the next couple of weeks to make sure those pesky little buggers don’t bug you again. The bots will not magically disappear but we will keep on working on improving these measures. We feel enthusiastic about them and hope you will also see the difference!
The subtle power sensed across the realm was just the beginning. Winds of change. Some Heroes of the Nexus were expectant over what this whole new ordeal would be about.
Others didn’t wait, though.
Priests and Sorcerers, both reliant on drawing their magical powers from divine or arcane entities, found together a common point. They realized their magic was all about conjuration, and manifestation of powers in reality, much contrary to the ritual-based spells of the Wizards or the dark, forbidden arts of the Necromancers.
So a small portion of them started investing time and effort in this unknown field of magical expertise. They tried evolving the concept of the Sorcerers’ scepter magic as a catalyst. They explored the Priests’ skill of invoking the favor of foreign entities.
And one day, from the efforts of these Heroes, the Summoner class was born.
It soon was the rage across the Nexus: The ability of summoning powerful creatures, some of them enemies of Oryx and willing to fight for the Heroes, others just too strange for our understanding, but still willing to form a solid bond with them and their cause.
And on the designated day where the Nexus mages performed the traditional ritual to curse Oryx into a Chicken (even if just for a short time), the Summoners joined the fight!
The Summoner is the 17th class in the game. She spawns monsters to fight for her and boost her damage output. The class uses wands, robes, rings, and her unique mace ability. The mace ability allows you to spawn and control creatures. Or as we will call them – Summons.
It is designed as a safer class for players who like to think strategically and do high damage. The Summoner relies on good timing and smart placement of her Summons to reach the class’ maximum potential.
The Summoner uses the following gear:
You can have up to 3 Summons at a time. You must click on a valid point on the map (not occupied by solids) to spawn creatures. Summons will move in a few different ways depending on the specific abilities you are using.
The most common one is moving to the point you click with the Summon Control button (by default, the middle mouse button!). This behavior applies to all tiered Maces and some of the UT’s. You can also remap the Summon Control button to any other button.
You can click to order them to move or you can hold the button and they’ll move continuously. Other movement types include static, orbiting the Summoner, following the Summoner or orbiting around the spawn point.
Summoner is located relatively far in terms of the new player loop: The class unlock requirements are level 20 on Sorcerer and Mystic.
 Drops from the Beekeeper. |
 Campaign reward. |
 Drops from the Crystal Prisoner. |
 Drops from the Son of Arachna, Glowing Eggs, and four Giant Egg Sacs. |
 Possible reward from Shards of the Intern. |
 Drops from Limon the Sprite Goddess. |
 Drops from the Machine Servers. |
The Scientific Summoner Set brings the power of technology to your hands (and mace) by allowing a very charismatic mace that becomes more powerful with each set piece you wear! To master this set, you will need to hone your timing to make the best use of the B.O.O.M. Explosive!
This summary lists changes for those of you familiar with Summoner from Public Testing.
We have received several suggestions for alternate control configurations or key binding options. The control scheme in this release will be similar to the one you know from Public Testing, but we’ll be monitoring how players use Summoner and these options will be considered for future releases.
The Sprite World is joining the many other godlands dungeons to be reconstructed in the past several months! The visuals have been completely redone, maintaining yet expanding on the dungeon’s uniquely abstract style (even the background elements are animated!). A variety of custom maps should make dungeon much more interesting to navigate, and enemy variety has been improved and increased.
Limon has of course received a rework as well, now with multiple different phase possibilities to keep her feeling fresh even when grinding many Sprite Worlds in a row. We wanted to make sure Limon (and the whole dungeon) are still very short for maxed characters to not pad out the process of maxing dexterity, while also making it a more balanced and engaging learning experience for fresh level 20 players. We sincerely hope you enjoy this remake!
Deadwater Docks has finally caught up with the Pirate Cave on the reconstruction train! This once bland area is now a gloomy, fully realized pirate colony. Tons of different rooms, extra high enemy variety, environmental hazards, and a majorly upgraded fight against the new pirate king Jon Bilgewater await! As with other reconstructions, we’ve continued to emphasize some degree of environmental storytelling as well to make dungeons like this feel more complete.
Deadwater Docks is also no longer a drop from the Crystal Prisoner, instead coming from a brand new god: the Corsair Crab. He’ll shuffle around with a crab-like side to side movement and try to inflict massive damage with his wave attack, especially if he exposes you.
There is also another crustacean involved with the docks, a giant enemy crab known to the pirates as the “Calamity Crab.” This creature will wander around the entire dungeon in search of players, savagely attacking anyone they find. Both running away and standing your ground are valid options for dealing with this beast, so decide quickly before your grave becomes the latest rave site.
If you’d like to see the Sprite World and Deadwater Docks discussed in more detail, feel free to check out our latest video if you didn’t catch it before!
This is a YouTube video:
We have made in-depth adjustments to some of the dungeons that already went through a reconstruction.
With the new notification system, we are moving information usually posted in the chat to a new area, first to be more visible and second to keep the chat for chat related messages.
So now drinking a potion or queuing up for a realm will have a distinct look to it. You may have caught a glimpse of this feature when we introduced the Forge and the recovery of Forgefire as well as unlocking a blueprint.
We thought this is a pretty neat way to reduce clutter in the chat so we expanded on it and moved most of the info messages into the new notifications. And yeah, it now shows new notification types for both player deaths and dungeons opened by keys!
With this update we reworked how the minimap looks as well! Now you can see icons for different NPC’s and interactable entities like your Vault Chest, Gift Chest, and Blacksmith, alongside other visual improvements like other players’ icons and portals.
New lore-related items can now be found in the game, like books! Double-clicking them will allow you to read them (but remember it doesn’t pause the game!).
We plan on giving a little bit more spice to Realm’s rich (but a tad too hidden) lore, and this might be a step towards that. Let us know if you like it!
The Summoner has also summoned a new website for our Customer Support team. From there you will be able to submit tickets, read FAQ sections for a wide variety of topics and also read general information about the game. It will be updated on a regular basis with everything Realm-related.
You can check it out here: https://support.rotmg.com/hc/en-us
Biff’s Extra is a limited time program that unlocks opportunities to get big treasures. With the purchase of select boxes or packs, players will get one or several Biff’s Extra’s, a mystery item that contains many treasures with potentially very high value. Biff’s Extra doesn’t add to the price of the pack.
If you open one of Biff’s Secrets, please reach out to Customer Support to claim your great treasure. Please keep in mind that if you get Secret Hoard or Backup Stash, it will only be given out at the end of the Extra period.
Biff’s Extra starts today, March 30th, and will end on May 4th. You will be able to claim your treasures until May 17th.
The Biff’s Secrets item only contains the four secrets shown below:
The Biff’s Extra item can contain:
With this release you’ll be able to drink potions from the Potion Vault again. Its purpose is also to make some adjustments to improve the way we fight bots.
We are also very happy to tell you that, within the spirit to fight bots and hacked clients, we will be reintroducing a working Flash version.
Yes, it may come across as a “if you can’t beat them, join them” approach… because it is! We have a working version that some of our testers have already tried out, and this hotfix will allow us to add some features we couldn’t before. This was due to Flash’s limitations. We managed to work around it, creating a hybrid engine that will run the flash file (swf). Oh, and you won’t find it available to manually download: the files will be automatically downloaded with the update.
Thank you.
The weekend is almost here, and with it (hopefully) more time to play RotMG.
With the update we are releasing today we want to make your weekend better: we will be fixing some disconnection issues; fixing the doubling of some stats boosts given by exaltation, and also fixing bugs affecting item swapping from the potion vault.
After updating the client, you might get a popup that tells you to download a new build. If this happens, close your launcher and re-open it. You should now be able to download the proper build.
Snake Pit will drop 1.5x loot and xp from 04-11-2021, 12:00 UTC to 04-16-2021, 12:00 UTC.
Toxic Sewers will also drop 1.5x loot and xp from 04-13-2021, 12:00 UTC to 04-18-2021, 12:00 UTC.
It’s all about balance… and with this update we are making some important item rebalancing changes. We’ve listed the changes so you can know exactly what to expect. We’ve also made changes to the Crystal Entity and its battle flow, to the dungeon player caps, and to the way the game handles collision. Of course, there are bug fixes to go through and a handful of new skins to check out as well!
Here are the changes we made with this release:
We have reworked the Crystal Entity! The new Crystal Entity’s battle flow will go like this:
Also, we have worked a bit on the colors associated with each phase of the battle to make it more congruent with the overall theme.

We’ve got some long awaited balance changes coming up. Below is a pretty sizable list of item balance, ranging from little touch-ups to significant changes. We’ve mainly targeted items which were left behind in other balancing efforts of the past several months, so hopefully these are exciting to see!
Range: 6.11 → 6.2
New Sprite
→ 
Changed Forge material quantities when dismantled/crafted.
New Sprite
→ 
Throw Time: 1.5 → 1.2 seconds
New Sprite
→ 
On Equip: +15 WIS → +20 WIS
New Sprite
→ 
DPS is effectively still the same. Primarily the shot pattern is affected.
→ 
→ 
On Equip: +4 ATT → +6 ATT
New Sprite
→ 
Added “On Ability Use” Proc: Increase defense by 15 for 5 seconds. Cooldown 15 seconds
New Sprite
→ 
Added “On Ability Use” Proc: Heals 100 HP and applies healing for 3 seconds when under 75% HP. Cooldown 15 seconds
New Sprite
→ 
Enforcer’s key change comes from the adjustment of its arc gap from 6 degrees to 12 (14 on PT), which we know was a controversial one when first revealed. Our reasoning for this is not just that Enforcer outclassed every other katana, which is NOT the goal of endgame UTs, but that the weapon had no real specialization. The previous arc gap of 6 was so tight that it was effectively decorative, meaning DPS was always maximized even as its generous range for a katana.
With these changes, Enforcer is now a more distinctly dual-purpose weapon. Its true range is not the same as its max range, but it still has the reach to hit targets with at least one shot at a distance, which itself is still strong. And by being more daring, you can get closer to land both and regain that extreme DPS for a risk/reward balance. This is still FAR from the proximity required for DBlade as some comparisons made, but it makes Enforcer not instantly the best and safest choice in every situation.
This change is so that one of the stunning projectiles of the star is shot out straight ahead
instead of sideways.
Effectively making it more consistent, like the Marble Seal: If players stand in the banner they ‘just get the buff’. It shouldn’t be missable if players stand in the radius!
This information is a bit difficult to digest at face value. Hence, this is the difference of the whole set bonus, compared to before:
-5 SPD, +40 MP, +3 ATT, +5 DEF
Celestial Blade
→ 
→ 
Midnight Star
→ 
Skullish Remains of Esben
→ 
Esben’s Shaman Attire
→ 
Esben’s Wedding Ring
→ 
Note: the patch notes had no mention of sprite changes and contained no new sprite images
These changes are related to our long-term plans, and it’s important for both performance improvements and overall game balance. We feel these changes will fit better the intended game experience and work with mechanics like bosses’ HP scaling.
Enemies no longer ignore any changes made to the map. An example of this would be when the setpiece for the Lost Sentry is created. Previously, any enemies would ignore the walls and go straight through them. Now they are blocked by it instead as they should. Another example is the Beehemoths getting stuck on seemingly nothing, because the setpiece overwrote once unwalkable ground (Cyclops God castle). Instead they move over traversable ground as normal.
This change affects some enemies that used this behaviour as a feature. All of these have been adapted to work in this new setting. Externally, it should seem as though nothing changed. Some examples of this:
Please note: There’s a small chance we might have missed something affected by this collision issue. If players notice any weird behavior, please record that part of the gameplay and send us a support ticket.
This update brings new drop locations for the Nordic Knight Set and Cuboid Necromancer Set. There are also many bug fixes, some of which you have been requesting, like the ability to hide projectiles from allies. We are also making some visual changes and refactoring some bullet animations, and even added a new splash screen.
Here are the latest changes to your favorite game:
| Nordic Knight Set | Enemy | Dungeon |
|---|---|---|
 |
Esben the Unwilling | Ice Cave |
 |
Creepy Weird Dark Spirit Mirror Image Monster (both variants) | Ice Cave |
 |
Iceion, Lizicle | Ice Cave |

| Cuboid Necromancer Set | Enemy | Dungeon |
|---|---|---|
 |
Tesseract Goddess | The Third Dimension |
 |
Shadow Cube Blaster | The Third Dimension |
 |
Masquarerader | The Third Dimension |
 |
Limon the Sprite Goddess | Sprite World |
Cuboid Necromancer and Nordic Knight ST items will now drop from the Mystery ST Chest, replacing the older set for each of the classes. They will be updated in their respective quest chest with the next release.
This is a minor update, but don’t be fooled by the name. It brings important changes that will affect the way you play and enjoy RotMG. Well, at least for those of you who are really interested in the lore and overall narrative of the game. Some things will start to make more sense now, as a new chapter unfolds in the Mad God’s story.
This is what we are changing:
| Cuboid Necromancer Set | Enemy | Dungeon |
|---|---|---|
 C.L.A.W. |
 F.E.R.A.L. |
 HTT |
 B.O.O.M. |
F.E.R.A.L. |

Treasure Hunter Archer Set |
 Resplendent Bow |
 Embellished Quiver |
 Ornate Armor |
 Aquamarine Amulet |
We are happy to let you know that the music we all love and cherish is making its way back into the game. With this minor update we are bringing the Original Soundtrack back. It also fixes some bugs.
In this update, we reshaped the Star Ranks, re-decorated the Nexus, and fixed a few bugs.
If you got curious and want to know more, here are the changes that affect the game:
For those of you who have seen and tried the new Star Ranks, we would like you to know that we gathered your feedback and it’s being taken into consideration. Yes, the Class quests are changing. As we mentioned before, we keep reviewing and adjusting the Fame values. Due to the new way of acquiring Fame, Star Ranks got to a point where they were much easier to acquire and thus much less representative of the player’s mastery of the different classes.
We want to change that. We want to make Star Ranks somewhat more aligned with your mastery over a class, and we decided to introduce some important variations to how Class Quests are unlocked:
Overall, these are the new Base Fame costs of each Class Quest star. These are the same for all Classes:
| Class Quest Star | Before (Total Fame) | Now (Base Fame) |
|---|---|---|
| First Star | 20 | 20 |
| Second Star | 150 | 500 |
| Third Star | 400 | 1500 |
| Fourth Star | 800 | 5000 |
| Fifth Star | 2000 | 15000 |
These changes will be retroactive, which means that players who don’t meet the criteria might be readjusted to a lower Star Rank. Now, acquiring a White Star will be a bit more challenging and an impressive feat!

The ones beyond the realm’s eyes, the Daeva, have been witnessed for the first time in generations. As reticent as ever, their exact goals are unclear. But there is no doubt that they would not reveal themselves if not for sensing some great disruption in the order of the realm.
That disruption is surely related to a more unnerving sight in recent days: Corrupted paladins, wholly subject to the whims of the lingering evil the realm’s heroes know all too well. These twisted entities have rejected the holy nature of paladins and embraced a far more malicious force. Powerful, yes, but such strength never comes without consequence.
Today we are excited to bring you the bonus program “Story of War VI.” We are sure most of you are already familiar with how these go, but we will explain it anyway:
The 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 Cloth Bazar 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.
Avarice Medallions will have an option to reward the Mini Skin, and in two neat quests at the Tinkerer, you’ll be able to swap a duplicate mini skin for a new Mystery ST Crate of the same class.
More details below:
| Ranks | Bonus reward | Total Points | Tier Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 x War STory Chest | 1200 | 1200 |
| 2 | 1 x War STory Chest | 2400 | 1200 |
| 3 | 1 x War STory Chest | 3600 | 1200 |
| 4 | 1 x War STory Chest | 4800 | 1200 |
| 5 | 1 x War STory Chest | 6200 | 1400 |
| 6 | 1 x War STory Chest | 7600 | 1400 |
| 7 | 2 x War STory Chest | 9000 | 1400 |
| 8 | 1 x Avarice Medallion | 10600 | 1600 |
| 9 | 1 x War STory Chest | 13600 | 3000 |
| 10 | 3 x War STory Chest | 16600 | 3000 |
| 11 | 3 x War STory Chest | 20800 | 4200 |
| 12 | 2 x War STory Chest + 1 x Avarice Medallion | 26000 | 5200 |
| 13 | 4 x War STory Chest | 32600 | 6600 |
| 14 | 3 x War STory Chest | 36200 | 3600 |
| 15 | 2 x War STory Chest + 1 x Avarice Medallion | 41600 | 5400 |
| 16 | 6 x War STory Chest | 48600 | 7000 |
| 17 | 2 x War STory Chest + 1 x Avarice Medallion | 53100 | 4500 |
| 18 | 5 x War STory Chest + 1 x Avarice Medallion | 62000 | 8900 |
| 19 | Corrupted Paladin Set + Mini Skin | 72500 | 10500 |
| 20 | Daeva Fighter Trickster Set + Mini Skin | 83000 | 10500 |
There is an error with the Trickster ST Ring name on the ST crate description. It’s written Regalia of Justice, but the actual name is Flames of Genesis.
With the latest update, we made a few changes to how the Star System works. Today we release a small fix to that update. But the essential is that we have changed the way Fame is calculated.
The amount of Fame is recalculated and you might note some differences from the previous formula. The new formula is on this blog post, under the “XP-to-Fame conversion” bullet. But, in general, it means that every 2000 XP you get with your character (assuming LVL 20) you will gain 1 Fame.
Like we mentioned before, we want to make Star Ranks more aligned with your mastery over a class. So we changed how Class Quests are unlocked:
And, most importantly, this is retroactive: The players who don’t meet the criteria were readjusted to a lower Star Rank.
Another important point to underline: on the character selection screen, you will see the base fame. On the Stats panel, you’ll have the base fame plus the fame bonuses.
This update brings some minor changes and bug fixes that you may notice. Here’s what changed:
Change. Change across the Realm. Crumbling over the multiple, fragmented realities of a world with thousands of destinies, and yet, a vast power is sweeping through them all. The winds of Chaos have permeated into every single plane, mortal or divine, and that was just one of the many signs. Even the Daeva, the race who remained neutral to the cruelest rulers of the worlds, could not stay quiet this time.
Forgotten forces awaken. And nowhere is safe.
An apocalyptic battle is descending upon the Realm. Month of the Mad God: Antinomy is all about choices and opposites, and it is finally beginning. In the wake of this battle between Void and Light, the Realm might not emerge the same as it’s been before… Throughout the next couple of weeks, you’ll experience events and improvements that will forever change the way you play Realm.
Before we get started with this kickoff to MotMG, we’d like to inform you right away that Dungeon Modifiers will be added to the game on Tuesday, the 24th, and the Shatters rework on Thursday, the 26th. We are finishing the last touches on both features and want to ensure they are released when ready. To get your hands on the new Enchantments feature, you will have to wait a little while longer still.
Now let’s talk in more detail about the things you can experience right now:
The imminent awakening of the Shatters and the dark powers that surround it are plaguing the Realm in unspeakable ways. Darkness is spreading quickly, rotting the souls of the unwary. The heroes of the Nexus will have to deal with the coming of the Void.
Much has been said about the legend of UT trading. For the moment it will be active during MotMG 2021. We want to enable trading in a gradual way and gather its impact on how the game is played. To be clear, this is an experimental feature that we may roll back after MotMG, leave it activated, or tweak things as we review the results.
Here are all the items that you’ll be able to trade:
This one starts on the 17th, and ends on the 23rd, August, at 12 PM UTC.
The Antinomy: Chaos Campaign will have you confront the Void and claim its power – whether through cooperation or force depends on the side you choose in the battle this MotMG is all about. Embrace (or exploit) the darkness and claim the power to forge one of its most powerful artifacts, The Forgotten Crown. Have your Warriors become Sentinels of the Void, the very incarnation of the Void’s vanguard with the last Campaign reward! Gather Antinomy equipment. And of course, gain an adorable, and probably quite evil Penguin companion…

| Void tokens should drop for: | Daeva tokens should drop for: |
|---|---|
| Bard | Summoner |
| Knight | Huntress |
| Assassin | Ninja |
| Samurai | Rogue |
| Archer | Wizard |
| Mystic | Sorcerer |
| Priest | Warrior |
| Necromancer | Paladin |
| Trickster | …with a small chance of an opposite token also dropping for the same class. Moral ambiguity! |
The Classes we all know and love have already taken sides in the battle between Light and Void.
The Bard, Knight, Assassin, Samurai, Archer, Mystic, Priest, Necromancer, and Trickster will be getting Void Fragments, Shards, and Crystals from dungeons and encounters, while the other classes will be getting their Daeva counterparts.
Each week we will count how many of each side’s tokens are consumed, and thus determine how you will be acquiring the Antinomy skins.
A new face-off will be announced every week. The winning side will have their skin released the following week as a free package, and the losing one – in a quest.
The first faceoff is Wizard vs Knight!
The Void and Daeva Prisons will be spawning after a minute in new Realms, with 10 of each spawning across the map. These will have a chance to drop determined thematic tokens, as well as other loot:
The Shards of the Mad God will become Doorwarden Shards as September begins.
Beware!
Later in MotMG, the Embers of the Void and Daeva will be able to be combined into a new, powerful Ring. Risk those or keep them – up to you!
The Appetizer, having succumbed to the Void and looking rather tentacley, will be spawning in Realms from 17th of August until the 6th of September, and upon death, he will drop a portal to the Lost Halls.
The Gardener and Glitch have also been consumed by forces of the Void and will be spawning in Realms according to the Event Calendar.
This year, we bring back content from previous Months of the Mad God that may otherwise have stayed unacquirable.
For starters, Stone and Mad God tokens are back in a slightly different way (now as Antinomy Stone and Mad God Tokens), and associated skin quests will also be there. You can get Antinomy Stone Tokens from the Chest Events in Cursed Library and Puppet Master’s Theatre, and Antinomy Mad God Tokens from the events in Parasite Chambers and Mountain Temple.
Aside from that, all Construction Gear except the Foreman’s Hard Hat will drop in some formerly reconstructed dungeons with Chest Events: Abyss of Demons, Undead Lair, and Deadwater Dock. And the notorious Foreman’s Hard Hat will be obtainable in Mad God Mayhem, along with the rest of the… PPE.
At the start of MotMG, the following Event quests will be available:

The Path of the Void, Path of the Daeva and Path of Duality will be updated every Tuesday and Friday, gradually increasing in the value of their requirements and rewards. You may choose to devote yourself to one Path, or to attempt to walk multiple. Does the difficulty lie in compromising your morals and duplicitously playing both sides, or with reaching mastery over both as an entity above petty conflict?
The loot tables of Guild Keys have been updated to have the chance to drop any Agents of Oryx shard. Here are the loot tables of those you will be able to buy this MotMG:
Thank you for your patience with the latest issue. We hope to have fixed the bug that was causing some of your characters to be insta-killed. If it happened to you, please reach out to our Customer Support agents. They will revive the characters that died due to the bug.
We can assure you that is not the way we wanted to start Month of the Mad God and that we are constantly monitoring our servers. When something like this happens we are immediately putting our efforts into a fix.
The bug, as many of you were asking, was caused by… a cat. This actual cat. (Is it too early to call it a cat-astrophic bug?). The cat was “eating” bullets that disappeared and hit the players afterwards.
We also needed to fix a small issue with the Void Fragments, so if you are holding any, they might have disappeared. A free pack with some more will be waiting in the shop for you!
On other hand, we’ve also noticed that some items that should have been tradable, are not. They will be tradable after the next release, on the 24th of August.
Thank you to the community for quickly pointing that out.
This week you’ll get two updates that will change the way RotMG is played. In two days you’ll get the reworked version of The Shatters. But today, you get the first.
Say hi to the new Dungeon Modifiers system! Hoping you will learn a little bit more about the new feature that will forever change how you explore dungeons.
Now, dungeons can spawn with Dungeon Modifiers (or Dungeon Mods, for short). You can now hover over the portal to see a full description of the Dungeon Mods it has.
Dungeon Mods can be “positive” to you (green color) or “negative” (red color), in the sense that they can increase or decrease the risk of the dungeon, and the rewards you can obtain from it.
Once you are inside a Dungeon, you can quickly see the Dungeon Mods applied to it. Press the “Log” key (default: K) and you will see a list.
If the dungeon has Dungeon Mods, then it will have a Grade. The Grade of a dungeon will indicate, as an overall measurement, how intense the Dungeon Mods of that dungeon are. The best (and the most dangerous) Dungeon Mods belong to the highest grades. It’s important to note that Dungeons spawned in the realm do not always spawn with Dungeon Mods.
As we think the Grade of a Dungeon might be an interesting factor for you, the Portal itself has a highlighted border of the color of the Grade. This might help you identify them faster.
Quick color reference:
Furthermore, if you hold the Quick-Look key (default: CONTROL (Win) / COMMAND (Mac)) you will also see the name and grade of the Dungeon portal.
Another interesting usability tip: if you hold the Quick-Look key (CONTROL(Win)/COMMAND(Mac)) and click on a Dungeon portal, you will do a Callout.
Everyone in the same realm as you will get a Notification about this Dungeon. You don’t need to type “wlab” in the chat anymore if you don’t want to! 😉
Of course this quality of life feature also works with normal portals that don’t have Dungeon Mods.
The Difficulty rating of Dungeons was changed from the previous design: now it supports up to 10 “gravestones” of difficulty. The more “gravestones”, the harder the dungeon is. The Dungeon Mods on a particular Dungeon can also affect this difficulty rating.
When you enter a dungeon, you will also see this new Difficulty meter in the loading screen.
Keys can have Dungeon Mods too! Hover over the tooltip to show a description of any Dungeon Mods it can have. So you can see which ones it has before you use it.
And the coolest of all, try CTRL+Clicking a Key to open the Key Refining Panel where you can manipulate the Dungeon Mods of a Key!
These are the operations you can do:
Bear in mind that any upgrade or reroll operation has a Gold cost. Downgrading and resetting has no cost.
We have prepared a more detailed guide to go with this release. Please follow the link to find an extensive list of all the Dungeon Mods in the current version!
Known bug:
We have noticed that The Shatters have stopped dropping tokens. While the tokens will be back in the new Shatters, for now you can do the once-per-day Tokens of the King quest to make up for it.
