ArcheAge Adds Faction Guards, A New Arche, And Kicks Off Zodiac Festival

Kakao Games is making the adventurer’s life just a little bit safer for ArcheAge players in today’s update with the addition of Pirate Faction guard NPC’s. These three new NPCs jobs are to protect players responding to a mobilization order so they aren’t left too exposed to enemy factions when they make their way to the summon location.

Today’s update also introduces several quality-of-life improvements including the ability to access the Arena Shop via the Arena Manager NPC. The update also fixes a bug that prevented damage when under the “Can’t Install Building” status.

Kakao has also introduced a new Arche along with a Grand Arche upgrade, both of which will be available until March 30th. The team is also running an event during the same period that will allow players to purchase Wish-Filled Manastorm Crystals from the Manastorm shop and exchange existing ones for various items. The Manastorm shop will also be updated with new rewards including full costume sets, costume pieces, and conversion scrolls for weapons and armor, among other new things.

The update also kicks off ArcheAge’s annual Zodiac Festival which returns with its usual array of daily quests that players can complete to earn coins that can be traded in for additional rewards. You can check out the full patch notes on the ArcheAge official site.
