The following release notes contain information about our latest major ArcheAge update: July 2018!
Visit the best of the community's art!
So many artists, so little time! I just want to buy them all!
In the ancient days, the city of Delphinad held the "Essenion" art contest held every year in order to promote their master artists. Now, so many years later, King Andrion II of Nuia and Queen Amarendra IV of Haranya have banded together to resurrect this tradition in the form of the Erenor Global Art Contest!
Visit Marianople or Austera
between July 19 and August 2 with a character that's level 30 or higher to meet with the Blue Salt Brotherhood's artists, Vivalt and Mendelsson. Plus you can view OR purchase pieces of art made by ArcheAge players across the world! The pieces made by the finalists from North America and Europe, Korea, China, Russia, Japan, and Taiwan are all present and ready for YOU!

Use your Gilda Stars to purchase copies of the art for your home (and enriching the corresponding artist) and you'll be rewarded with Art Contest Coins. Taking some time to activate and view the pieces of art also can reward you with coins too!
Plus, if you're in the area at 8:00, 16:00, and 24:00 UTC for EU or 6:00 AM, 2:00 PM, and 10:00 PM PDT for NA, you can participate in the Cooperative Art quest and help draw a big collective portrait. Just talk to Art Dealer Stark before beginning your masterpiece!

Your Artistry skill will also be boosted by 10,000 at the completion of the event to represent your accomplishments. Plus, the artist who sells the most portraits in the world (across all participants) will get another +10,000 Artistic skill! Make sure to thank the Blue Salt Brotherhood when you can!

Halcyona Specific Changes

- Before Kraken spawns on Tuesday and Thursday, a red zone will appear on the map. This area represents the Kraken Restricted Zone, and only a specific faction will be able to enter that area to fight the Kraken at that time.
- If you are not a member of that faction, you will be teleported out of the zone and your ship/cargo will be placed into stasis. You can retrieve your vehicle and packs by visiting the same spot you were in when you were removed and re-summoning your vehicle.
- On Tuesdays, only Haranya Alliance members can face the Kraken.
- On Thursdays, only Nuia Alliance members can face the Kraken.
- On Saturdays, the area is left unrestricted, and the Kraken's rewards are increased to represent the additional challenge.
- An additional spawn point has been added to the area to prevent players from a long ride back, should they die in the fight.
Quest Changes/Additions- Fresh Start members can take on a new quest called "Rumors of the Abyssal Legion" that will send them through Reedwind, Sungold Fields, and Exeloch. Pick it up from your faction representative!
