It has been a while since our last update, but now the new year has arrived and so has a new update to Realm of the Mad God. Oryxmas is coming to an end which means it is time for a new event! Down below you will find more information about the “Turbine Trouble” Campaign and “Full Steam Ahead” Event, starting today. The year just started and we are looking forward to sharing more information about upcoming features with you in the near future.
The age of Steamworks continues in the Realm! This Event is split into different activities. You can progress in our Free Campaign or take part in the Community Event taking place.
During this event, you will be able to collect special tokens from dungeon bosses that you can redeem to increase your progress in our free campaign. The campaign starts on the 18th of January and ends on the 1st of February, with a grace period until the 4th of February at 12 UTC.

It’s that time of the year again when love even finds its way into Realm of the Mad God. Our Servers have received some new names in the server overview and in addition to the mentioned things down below, we have optimized the performance and loading time of the friend and guild list. Have a look at our upcoming Valentine’s Event and Bounty, the new Season including a brand new Battle Pass and Missions, and the new “Playing Now” Panel.
One more month and we will finally be able to celebrate the start of spring and hopefully let the cold days behind us for a while. In Realm you will already be able to enjoy some of the spring feelings. The Valentine’s Event brings to you some angry flowers that need to be reminded of what climate we currently have outside.
The Valentine’s Event starts on the 7th of February after the release and ends on the 21st of February at 12 UTC.
During the event’s duration, The Gardener will be guaranteed in the Realm, opening a way to Belladonna’s Garden. For the duration of the event, we also added new loot you can receive from the Realm Encounter and Belladonnas:

Ocean Trench drops:
Just like last year, we are bringing back a Bounty! This time with the Valentines Theme. For every pack or bundle purchase over 249 Gold you will receive 1 Valentine’s Gift. When redeemed they will give you one of many items with a chance of getting the Valentine’s Treasure.
Valentine’s Gift drops:
If you get Valentine’s Treasure from the Gift, it will drop one of the treasures for you: Secret Hoard, Backup Stash, Key to Oryx’s Armory, or Mirror of Vanity.
You’ll have to reach out to customer support by March 7th the latest in order to claim the bounties. Please keep in mind that bounties from Secret Hoard or Backup Stash will be added to your account after the end of the program.
This Season is a little bit shorter than the previous ones. This time you will have 5 weeks to complete the Battle Pass and the new Missions coming with this update. The main reason for this is to have the next season already live 2 weeks before we release the Easter update. As you know we had some issues in the recent past with releasing several features and events at once and we don’t want to release everything at the same time.
Since the Battle Pass is shortened, we have reduced the price to 600g for this season.
A new Season also means new Missions! As always, remember that finishing Missions will give you progress with your Battle Pass.
This is a new tab we have added to the Social Menu called “Playing now”.
In this panel you can see the players currently in the same room as you. This does not work outside the current room for the time being, but we want to hear your opinions on this feature.
In the upper section, you can see your own character and set the visibility of the character for the rest of the players in that room.
If set to ON (which is the default), then the character is visible in the “Available players” list for all other players. Players with visibility OFF won’t appear in this list nor be added to the player count for the current map. Beware that if you decide to load a new character, the visibility toggle should keep the previous setting.
You can also sort players by pressing the icon ↿⇂ .The sorting order is by star rank and then maxed stats (X/8).
In addition, you can hover any character in the “Available players” section to open the regular interaction panel. This also allows you to chat, trade, lock or add new Friends directly from this list. Remember some commands like Trade will still not work if you are too far from the player.
Based on your feedback, we have applied the following adjustments to Kogbold Steamworks:
Time for another update. Introducing first our new ST Sets. The Onmyoji Ninja and the Plague Doctor Priest find their way into Realm of the Mad God. You will also be able to join our next campaign Horror STory III and jump into the Event Dungeons during Mardi Gras! The Discord voted and decided which Skin everyone will be able to receive for free in the Shop.
At the end, you will find more information regarding changes to dungeon modifiers and new dungeon mods.
Like opposite sides of the same coin, the Plague Doctor and Onmyoji try to help those separated by the boundary between life and death.
The Onmyoji Ninja trades their Ninja Star for an Invocation scroll that, while held, summons extra shots for their weapon. They also utilize the new ability swap mechanic, to swap between 2 different shot patterns. Wearing the Armor and the Ring will provide unique buffs to this ability.
*The Token Name for the Shakujo & Cane of Caduceus in the Forge Interface are currently wrong and will be fixed in a future update.
Ability 1
Ability 2
Items in the set:
The Plague Doctor Priest forgoes the usual Healing Tome for their own preferred medical device…their leeches. The Plague Doctor Priest can summon up to 3 leeches to aid them in battle, siphoning the health of enemies, and exploding with a healing AOE burst. The leeches can be upgraded to siphon health to players, and also burst with a damaging AOE blast. This ability uses the switch ability mechanic to manually detonate the leeches.
Items in the set:
Description: Join the Campaign for free and collect points with every purchase you make in the Mystery Shop or Nexus. Collecting points will unlock Ranks and many bonus Rewards! The Quests start on the 21st of February and end on the 18th of April.

Mardi Gras is all about getting dressed and throwing the best costume together! Last week we started a voting on our official discord server. And you, the community decided on the number 1 skin that everyone will receive for free! The Cleaner Maid Paladin Skin won!
Additionally, the next 8 most voted skins will be added to a quest during the time of the event, where you can choose to redeem one of them. You will also be able to purchase those 8 skins with a discount in our Shop. Either in packs or as a single purchase.
The Mardi Gras Event starts on the 21st of February after the release and ends on the 27th of February.

It is time we adjust the Dungeon Modifiers. As you know, Dungeon Modifiers are special properties that can appear in dungeons that modify several aspects of the gameplay for that particular run. At the same time, dungeons have a Difficulty level, which is used as a generic metric for how challenging the dungeon is.
In the future, we want to improve the Difficulty levels system for all dungeons, and one of the first steps for that, is to change Dungeon Modifiers for all dungeons.
The list of changes for this update is as follows:
Note: if you have a key with any of these Modifiers it will still be usable. However in the Key Refining system they cannot appear again, so if you reroll, upgrade or downgrade that key, these Dungeon Modifiers won’t appear.
We are getting closer and closer to Easter but before that, it is time to celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day! Go and hunt the Leprechaun, collect tokens, and turn them in for some nice rewards. Talking about rewards, now is the perfect time for our seasonal characters to go hunt for some tasty shiny items! You can find a list of the first batch of items down below.
You were able to check out the balance and QoL changes on testing 2 weeks ago, now it’s time to implement them in the game. We still did some changes based on your feedback on some of the items, so go and have a look.
Starting on the 14th of March (after the release) and ending on the 26th of March at 12 UTC, the Green Leprechaun is back to Realm.
The tiny green fellow is back in the Realms for another run! This year, he will spawn twice – once after you defeat all Red Demons and a second time after Ghost Kings. The Leprechaun will have a chance of spawning either a portal to Rainbow Road or dropping a Pot Of Gold, they will be guaranteed to give you 4 Patty Tokens.
The mod will make it so the Yellow Leprechaun spawns for players after defeating Davy Jones, Daichi the Fallen, Gulpord the Slime God, Dr. Terrible, Septavius the Ghost God, and Archdemon Malphas in their respective dungeons.
Also starting with the release and ending on the 20th of March at 12 UTC, the following three dungeons will give 1.5x Loot and XP! Additionally, the Leprechaun Mod will be activated in these dungeons allowing you to receive a guaranteed Patty Token from the Yellow Leprechaun.

With this release you will be able to purchase Fame boxes again, this time around for Paladin and Priest! You will receive one of the items per spin. These boxes have no limit and can be purchased several times.
With this patch, some items will be getting special “ultra rare variants” that have different aesthetics.
A “shiny” version of an item will drop from the same locations the original does, but with a much lower chance (which means some of them will be extraordinarily rare to see around). Shiny items are functionally identical to their normal versions.
A special characteristic of shiny items is that they can only drop if you are playing a Seasonal character, although they can still be transferred to your regular vault as usual. Also, you cannot craft Shiny items but you can dismantle them as usual.
If you are lucky enough to find one of these Shiny drops and equip it, you will see that in addition to a spin on the old graphics, the item will display a “shine” effect animation.
This is the list of items that have a small chance of becoming shiny when dropping, but it will be expanded gradually in the future:
It is time for the next Battle Pass! Season 5 is upon us so check out all the rewards you can gather down below. The BP starts on the 14th of March and ends on the 23th of May at 10 UTC.
A new season also means new Missions! As always, remember that finishing Missions will give you progress with your Battle Pass.
From now on some of the Missions will be repeatable. This means once you have completed them, they can be repeated once their cooldown has ended. Once completed, you can still move forward and complete the next mission in the chain. The reset for the repeatable missions is not affected by server restarts or certain set times. They will reset depending on when you completed them.
Our new repeatable missions will give you two new items that you can exchange at the Tinkerer for some special quests.
| Quest | Restriction | Requirement | Reward |
| Wondrous Drink | Repeatable, Item of choice | Bronze Reward Chest x1 | Greater Potion of Attack Greater Potion of Defense Greater Potion of Dexterity Greater Potion of Life Greater Potion of Mana Greater Potion of Speed Greater Potion of Vitality Greater Potion of Wisdom |
| Lost Treasure | Repeatable, Item of choice | Gold Reward Chest x1 | Royal Epic Quest Chest Honeyed Epic Quest Chest Crystallized Epic Quest Chest Marble Epic Quest Chest Cultish Epic Quest Chest Voided Epic Quest Chest Steampunk Epic Quest Chest |
For this update, we are changing the rules of Item Forge regarding Seasonal characters. We have heard your feedback and suggestions (thank you very much!) and we have decided to act on it. You can now read the changes that will apply to Item Forge when you play with a Seasonal character.
End of season reset

Designer note: The previous base radius for healing on Necromancers was very high, in this way we hope to reign necromancer in on group healing so it doesn’t step on priest’s toes as much. While Necromancers healing has no diminishing value, it will be on a smaller area.

New effect: healing buff applied within range of the mushroom
Designer note: The nerf to this tome is long overdue, it was ignored in the original vital combat tome nerf and has since become far and above the best healing option often able to outheal entire boss patterns on its own. Even with a large nerf this tome should still be very powerful, but not trivializing many fights it is in.
Players may notice that this tome has received a second, even harsher nerf since the PT, this is because even as it stood heavily nerfed in the PT it was found to still be extremely powerful. While a 60% mana increase and nearly halving of healing may sound like an extreme nerf, and it is, it is more indicative of just how powerful this tome was before.
This item will be watched after this nerf, and if a buff is deemed necessary it will receive one, but please, try it out on production, see how it performs, we believe it will still prove quite useful.

Shield shots now pierce enemies and obstacles
Designer note:
Unfortunate as it is, the original design of this shield has caused more problems than it was worth. Many bosses have had to have specific design considerations added in to prevent this one item from potentially trivializing phases. While we appreciate the risk/reward it brought for the Knight user themselves, that same risk was not extended to the other players participating in the dungeon who got to benefit from the Knight acting as a human decoy. We hope this new version can still promote some risk/reward gameplay or at least be useful as a defensive tool in phases where another knight shield would provide no benefit.
We received a lot of feedback around this change over the course of the PT. While many of you are likely disappointed to find the direction of the item unchanged, we did not believe there was a good way to keep the item in its old state, even with many of the suggestions we saw. For example, the suggestion of applying invisibility to the item, while it would solve the human decoy issue, could very well bring up other balance issues by making the Knight extremely powerful in solos.
Additionally, we believe that human decoy or not, the sustained invulnerability provided by this item has potential to be problematic in itself, granting up to 8 straight seconds of invulnerability, that can still trivialize some more dodging based phases and can restrict more bullet dense design. In the old state of the item you could stay invulnerable for 8 seconds, quickly consume potions, and then go right into another 8 seconds of invulnerability, potentially repeating a few times with enough consumables, for dungeons where sustained dodging is a priority this would be extremely powerful. Suggestions to increase the mana cost, or even the cooldown of the item, could help to resolve this problem but would push the item into either being extremely clunky to use (cooldown) or requiring very specific builds to even work (mana cost). These do not seem like great choices for the item’s overall health and would just serve to make the item feel bad instead of trying to move it in a different direction.
The performance of this item will be watched, and if it remains in need of a buff in it will receive one. In the future when we have more tools available we would also like to revisit this item once again, and potentially give it yet another rework to bring it more inline with the tanking item many players expect it to be, without going all the way back to applying invulnerable.

Damage: 90-110 -> 80-100
Designer note: Luminaire was designed with a staggeringly high damage output coupled with a pretty rough downside. As time went on however it was clear that the downside was not as hard to deal with as originally assumed. This wand out damages every other option by an insane amount and after this nerf it will still sit comfortably at the top, just with less of a gap below it.
Soul Damage: 100 -> 200
Soul Poison Damage: 500 -> 0
Designer note: While rather unassuming this wand actually had an insane amount of damage output with the average amount of souls sustained. Though inconvenient to corral the souls to where you wanted, if you used this item well it would easily outclass every wand short of Lumiaire without any sort of gear investment. While this nerf is very steep it will now accurately reflect the level of content it comes from rather than substantially outclass it, and should still be a very solid dps option for builds that are not bringing attack or dexterity to the table.

Damage: 85-100 -> 85-90
Designer note: While similar to other dblade-esque items this one can be used from a much safer range and provides damage that can still outclass even the highest tiers of daggers. This nerf should bring it down a little bit and be more appropriate for its drop location.

Removed pattern swap mechanic
Fire pattern changed
Proc HP threshold: 20% -> 50%
Invulnerability duration: 2s -> 1s
Proc cooldown: 240 seconds -> 180 seconds
Designer note: It may be confusing to see a nerf to an item that was substantially buffed during the testing phase, this however was due to a separate change done a while ago to how invulnerability is applied. Unlike in the past this item will now apply invulnerability instantly, able to save you from even the most deadly of shotguns so long as the damage you take from each individual shot is less than the health threshold. This was noticed as a potential problem as it meant you could effectively survive everything in the game and get a 2 second cooldown out of it. This version will still allow you to have protection from death, with the higher threshold being a buff making sure any damage you could take would count within saving range. However, this higher threshold also means you need to make sure you play well to keep your safety net up as dropping to half health for any reason will proc the effect and put it on cooldown. The armor also has had its invulnerability duration cut in half along with this as the ease of which you could proc this item coupled with a relatively long duration meant it could let you get away with more than just being saved from a large mistake.
There is potential that this item is still broken and is too effective at saving players, potentially playing out similarly to just having an ammy if you make sure to nexus in that second of invulnerability. This item like many others will be watched after this release to see if it requires any other changes, be they buffs or further nerfs.
Reworked, Now fires a line of 4 projectiles with different ranges, blue pierce, orange armor pierce
SPD: +10 -> +5
Designer note: though this change may seem out of nowhere, it seemed appropriate to lower the status of this robe so it is not both the best dps robe and the best speed robe at the same time.
On hit proc -> On ability Proc
Cooldown: 4 -> 8 seconds
Portal damage: 250 -> 125
Designer note: This change should make the proc of this robe actually something you seek to use and benefit from, the new portal appears on cursor rather than your current location which makes utilizing it much easier, as such the damage from the portal needed to be toned down a little.
