Description Meet up with your friends and sharpen your weapons.
Patch 1.9 is here, and it is one of the biggest patches of all time.

It has been a long time since a major update enriched 4Ancient.
We want to apologize to everyone in our community for this problematic period. Much work went into the creation of this update as we have incorporated a lot of our community's ideas and did our best to improve and expand.

We want to turn again to all who have not turned their backs on us in these difficult times. The hardest has been overcome, and the signs for the future are more than good.
We thank you with all of our hearts! You are what 4Ancient is all about.


Addons

(1.) Forgotten Island
New map with daily quests and a new world boss with custom AI.

Recently some brave adventurers discovered the forgotten Island. Once they took their first steps on this newly discovered soil, the protective spell broke. Soon the light-bringers, a genuinely ancient Iberian organization, investigated this new Isle and found truly scary, always expanding darkness.
Set out with your friends to discover its dark secrets before your enemies and help the light-bringers to prevent it from spreading all over Iberia.

Fight with the deadly monster and set out with a group of heroes to complete brand new daily quests and help to build a safe encampment for your nation.

To get to the Forgotten Island, you will need to cross the sea. The Captains in Kokuma Harbor and Dragonrod Harbor, where an army of Lightbringers gathered, will help you pass the sea.
On the Isle watch out for Bermaga! When she appears with her Servants, you better group up, because it will take every champion to take her down.


(2.) Transmog System
Over 800 skins to spice up your style / oldschool friendly.

A transmog system has been added! Over 800 craft skins were added to bring some new variety to the game. To change the appearance of your equipment, all you need is a Smith and a Transform Tincture.
Just click on "Change Skin" and insert the weapon or armor whose appearance you want to change on the left and the skin of armor or weapon which you want to have on the right.
Skins have a green title color, and they will be automatically sealed for trading purposes.

To obtain Skins, you have to craft them; In the Iberian Peace Zone, you can find [The Whispering Tree] Elynor, who helps you with the production of all the skins you desire.

In addition to the transmog system, more than 80 Gor skins have been added!

However, we must mention that there are certain limitations:

  • 1. Mage/Priest equipment can be transmogged into either magical/physical skins; If you have Pauldron/Arkana gear, you can transmog them into Rekamies/Noble.
  • 2. You can not use skins from different classes! If, for example, you are using only warrior equipment, you can not transmog it into warrior/archer skins.


To craft a Skin, you must obtain certain Items such as Phoenix's Eggshell and Enchanted Ink. You can get those items from the newly added daily Quests but also from Monster on the Forgotten Island.
However, besides those items, the Monster on this Isle also drops many other useful things.

From the Monster located in the Enchanted Forest, you will get the Essence of Life, and from the Monster found in the Swamp of Mourning, you will get Essence of Darkness.


From the Essence of Life, you may receive one of the following items:

  • Damaged Coin

Enchanted Ink and Phoenix's Eggshell shall be your reward for fulfilling those Missions. Those items are needed for Skin-crafting.

For completing the final quest of the questline, you will also be receiving Guardian's Treasure.

(4.) World Boss
Deadlier, more challenging and more joyful.

A new World Boss was spotted on the Forgotten Island by the Lightbringer who named this worm-like Creature Bermaga. They said it is much more challenging than anything they ever fought before.
A special AI was created for this Creature, making it more deadly than the old World Bosses. Also, this WB will replace all the existing ones and always spawns on the same location => The Forgotten Island.
Bermaga will not be alone, it always has her Servants nearby which can use freeze and fear spells; Also, they deal large amounts of armor ignoring damage.

Also, the way of reward distribution and the rewards were changed.
  • The nation that deals the most damage to the World Boss receives 10x Guardian's Treasure; the other nation gets the same reward but only 5x. Try to avoid your friends' unnecessary deaths, as losing their DMGs can be fatal for winning the better awards!
  • Top 5 players who manage to deal the most damage to the World Boss will receive a unique Quest Item "Bermaga's Tooth".
  • The nation dealing the most damage to Bermaga will be announced together with the names of the players that dealt the most damage.

(5.) Champions of Dragonrod
A new pvp mode; FFA - Unseen

It is possible to find space-time distortions in Iberia, that allow heroes to enter new and unexplored territories.
The first time our heroes explored this distortion, they were shocked to see a place they knew very well.
It was Dragonrod, but something was different, did they enter a parallel universe?


What is the mode about?
It is a pvp mode, where you and two other teammates participate together. Upon joining, you’ll find yourself with empty bags but your own equipment (weapon, armor, and jewels).
The goal of the PvP mode is to kill the opposing teams. An essential part of this mode is farming some potions from the monsters around you. Once you’re ready, you can hunt for enemies.

This mode is 4Ancient’s revolutionary concept of FFA mechanics.



Participating
Display Spoiler

If you want to participate, you need to be online at 20:40. While the mode is running, you can join in at any time.

(As an example the mode is from 20:50-21:50 you can also join at 21:40 but you will only have 10 minutes left).

To join, a new window was created where you can choose your teammates.
Note that you can also open this window while in the mode, to invite new players if your teammates decided to leave.


Equipment and Items
Display Spoiler

Participants join with their own equipment. Monster drop potions.
Those potions are automatically looted by the team leader, who can then split them up.
This mode is based on teamwork, and the leader will has to distribute the potions to the other members; make sure to choose the leader of your party wisely!


Rewards and Points
Display Spoiler

The final rewards are based on in-game kills and deaths.
Top 3 killers receive additional rewards (Scoreboard for top 5).

The rewards you get will be based on the number of kills your team made.

Dying decreases the number of points from your team:
  • 1 Kill = 3 Points,
  • 1 Death = -1 Point.



If a player dies, he has to wait 10 seconds until he can respawn. On Respawning, a Player is invisible for 5 seconds.
If the leader invites a new player to the party and this player is already participating in the mode, his deaths will be added to the team’s deaths total.
Leaving the mode will result in getting only the Solo-Rewards.

Reworked minimap
Display Spoiler

The Minimap has been updated and is more colored now. Also, the marks are scaled based on how far away the bosses are, the color depends on the boss-type.


(6.) Battle of Glory
Battle of Glory received a new cool map

A new better-balanced map was added.
We want to revamp this mode, which has been a fundamental part of 4Ancient, but lately, it was becoming less and less relevant.

With new and balanced maps, this mode will come back to its “Glory”.
We continuously add new maps that have different designs and allow different strategies from now on.
These maps will have different sizes so that the mode can adapt to the number of participants.


(7.) Roll Command - & Sudden Death
Unique maps for unique events

A roll command has been added to the game! Players can now try their luck in and Sudden Death events!

Thanks to this command, you can also host your own custom guild events! The roll command generates random numbers for you!

To roll, just write: /roll 1 32767 - You can exchange the 32767 with any other number!

The roll command is seen by all players around you in the combat log.

Sudden Death
  • In this event, players will have 15 seconds to hide in one of the 6 rooms, each is marked with the Roman numeral I - VI.
  • After 15 seconds, the team member will use /roll 1 6 to generate a random number between 1 and 6.
  • Depending on which number is generated, the players in the room will die. Players will then be able to leave the room and hide in another, or stay in the same place.
  • A team member can close a particular area to make the event more challenging. The last player alive wins.


(8.)
A small cool new place for events

In this event, you can try your luck! You, the players, will be asked to use command /roll 1 100 one after another.

The player with the lowest roll always drops out until the last two remains.

The last two players will take turns in rolls, copying their opponent's roll in their roll.

The first starts with a /roll 1 32767 - the other one has to use the roll of his opponent instead of the 32767. The player who gets roll 1 will lose.

As example:
Elyn: /roll 1 32767 - His roll is 5477
Alberto: has to copy Elyn's roll, so he will write /roll 1 5477 - His roll is 585
Elyn: /roll 1 585 - His roll is 35
Alberto: /roll 1 35 - His roll is 1 = He lost


(9.) New Leya’s tournament reward
