Dear players,
I would like to announce and welcome you to Ascarus Season 6. For this season, we have put a special focus on addressing feedback from the previous season. Due to the rework of the spells code last season, it was obvious that not everything would be in the right spot right off the bat. We hope to have corrected the most mentioned aspects now. Furthermore there has been an effort to slow down the early to mid-game a little bit, especially with the GameGuard bonus. Furthermore we've introduced a number of new events, which we hope you enjoy. Balancing efforts have also been taking place around Rookgaard, as well as our custom quests. To spice up the daily hunting life, we have also introduced a Daily Boosted Creature rotation, where boosted creatures yield more experience, loot and respawn at a faster rate.
Ascarus Season 6 will start on Friday, 23rd September 2022 18:00 CEST
