Achaea

Achaea is a living, breathing world of role-play with player-run politics and one of the deepest combat systems anywhere. What kind of character will you be?

A woman vanished from a room above the sea, on a world even Sapience barely knows. She left an open window and four words scratched into the sill: "I wanted to understand." The ones watching her from the shadows have stopped agreeing on how it ends.

Faerum just took the Worldgames Extravaganza and pushed the Staff of Nicator lead to 19 points. Six wins away from claiming it. Friday's Riddle is still anyone's to take.

The Year 1000 contest results are in. Tahquil took the design contest with a Nostalgia theme, Jurixe won Bardic, and Ashena claimed Artisanal in the Succession category. Congrats to all who entered. https://t.co/dWvR7MdnHV #Achaea #MUD

Lorielan dragged Seleucar's ruins back into the light. The Elder Gods forged a gateway above the Mnemosyne. And from beyond Creation's edge, Proteus returned. The Year 1000 keeps delivering. https://t.co/ct8mVAUgBl #Achaea #MUD

There's a Discord contest running and 500 credits are on the line.

Head to the #contests channel and write a case for a denizen you'd like to see win the Staff. The more convincing the argument, the better your shot.

It's Mother's Day weekend. Log into Achaea, type MOTHERSROCK, and you'll get 25 free bound credits. No catch. Works on any character through May 17th.

Getting smote by a goddess and then revived so she can lecture you in person. That's not punishment. That's a relationship. #Achaea #MUD

May in Achaea: Globes of Shifting Continents are back for the month, the Year 1000 Staff Games are on the horizon, and the Art and Bard contest closes May 11.

The new Fracturedstaff card suit is in the globe pool this month, commemorating three more of the first Staff bearers.

Achaea polish from the past two weeks:
- Cities + Adryn's Keep are new origin options (Zanzibaar age fix too)
- Sirens show as 'an enchanting Siren' on look
- Badjokes contest entries now in the BADJOKES ability
- No passive renown in bed for City Guides + leadership

[Achaea @AchaeaIRE]

New Achaea trinket drops:

Yuthka, the daemonic serpent now drops a unique trinket when slain. The shadow dragon also drops one, and shows a deathsight on death.

Happy hunting.

[Achaea @AchaeaIRE]

Trinket rebalance:
- Quisalis punch dagger: 30% dmg (up from 15%)
- Aigra + Tizane trinkets: 100% fire/poison resist pierce
- Zigana's tincture: health + poison resist, no longer reduces bleed
- Elemental Fringes trinkets work anywhere now

[Achaea @AchaeaIRE]

GEAR LIST got upgrades: equipped items show with a green asterisk, new slot/set column, filters can stack.
Fae Courtier's Ensemble now inflicts AMNESIA. Volatile damage effects no longer disable on-hit effects while on cooldown.

[Achaea @AchaeaIRE]

Heads up, Achaeans: the 3989 Mystery Event has been moved 48 hours EARLIER due to real-life circumstances.

New time: Tuesday, April 28 at 23:00 GMT.

Mark your calendars, and thanks for rolling with the shift.

Something moved into the Borean Ocean while nobody was looking. You're going to want to bring more than one ship.

Six new mining camps just opened across Meropis. Tlalaiad shook the earth hard enough to crack the Vasnari Mountains open. Commodity spawns got a big increase too.

Sycaerunax, Father of Dragons, reclines at the Cerulean Falls in the Parthren Gare. He's three times the size of any dragon you've met. His eyes hold a thousand years of sorrow. He also teaches the Dragon language. #Achaea #MMO #RPG

Lost in Sapience? Type WALK TO followed by any landmark, area, or quest NPC and your character navigates there automatically. Beats wandering in circles. #Achaea #MUD

Sartan does not give memories freely.

Infernal rifts tore open across Sapience, and the price of remembrance was paid in blood. Read here: https://t.co/sqqCaEFLjb

Before titles settle into history, someone earns them. Isildur, the Iceman won the Staff of Nicator first, and ruled Shallam first. What does that say about him?

[Achaea @AchaeaIRE]

Achaea just made class progression much smoother.

Players now earn 2,000 extra lessons by level 80, making it far more realistic to fully max class skills through normal levelling.
