The Sandpark MMO ArcheAge is expanding. At the end of April or the beginning of May, two new zones will be introduced with Patch 1.7a “Prophecies of Dread”: one for PvP and one for PvE.
The patches in ArcheAge are significant. This is partly because they do not have to be developed themselves, but currently lag behind the Korean original version. The massive patch 1.7 there is split by Trion Worlds into two patches for the West. The first part, 1.7a, is scheduled for the end of this month or the beginning of next month.
In a blog post, Trion Worlds now presents two new zones that will be coming to ArcheAge with 1.7a.
Golden Ruins – Daily Quests and Obsidian Weapons
The PvE area is the Golden Ruins, west of the Diamond Coast. Here, the Purple Watch has set up camp. Players can complete a quest chain, after which they will be able to craft Obsidian weapons.
There is another building area, as well as daily quests. The zone is intended as an “alternative” to the library, to reach level 55, and the mobs also drop important materials for Obsidian armor and the second level of the Obsidian weapons.
Here is a first look at the Golden Ruins in time-lapse
Fogland – PvP Area like Halycona
The Fogland will be an alternative PvP area, heavily inspired by Halycona.
The three factions (Nuia, Haranya, or the factionless) will be grouped into their own battle squadrons at the start of the PvP event. Then it is about capturing “Blood Peaks” that appear in the battle area, but first, they must level the towers that also appear around the peaks.
As a reward, Warrior Medals can be earned, with which, for example, the ten new musical instruments can be manufactured.
Maybe there will be as much action in the zone as there was during this battle a few days ago in Hasla on the Kyrios server:
