Jump into the New Year events

Arthdal Chronicles is celebrating the 2026 Year of the Red Horse with a variety of festivities. We have the 'Hero's Proof: Growth' event, where you trade tokens for items, and a 14-day login campaign that rewards players with heaps of fortune cookies and Hero Summon selection chests. The fortune cookies, in particular, are proving popular, as they offer a decent chance to pull various summon tickets.

Looking back at Arthdal Chronicles in 2025!

2025 was quite the year for Arthdal Chronicles. To mark the final day, CM Noonbyeol compiled a visual recap of all the highlights. From the total number of characters created to the players racking up the most PvP kills, the data is fascinating. One standout item is the +12 Star of Will Archaic Accessory; I’d love to know which high-ranking player managed to snag that one. You can check out the full stats via this link.

Need to know! Issues Q&A

Q. Where can I find the 'Coordination' stat?
A. You can acquire it through Ceremony Swords/Guardian Armor or by completing Level 1 Spirit/Mount collections.

Following the recent update, the 'Coordination' stat was added to help balance PvP, and it’s been well-received. Players have been asking where to find it: you can primarily grab this stat from the new Ceremony Swords and Guardian Armor, or by filling out Level 1 of your Spirit and Mount collections. Keep in mind that you can snag the gear by tackling the daily solo content, Rift Dungeons.

Q. Where did the village Isodunyeong statues go?
A. They were removed as the event concluded.

To celebrate the 2025 Year of the Snake, Arthdal Chronicles placed Isodunyeong statues in every village, providing handy buffs upon activation. With 2025 now in the rearview mirror, those statues have been removed, as noted in the patch notes. In their place, Christmas trees have been added to the Arthdal, Ago, and Lawless villages. You can grab three different types of buffs from these, so be sure to check them out.

The historic moment of the integrated Siege War is approaching

The developer notes have unveiled plans for the January update, and the talk of the town is undoubtedly the integrated Siege War. This inaugural battle will begin without an existing lord, introducing a powerful alliance system that transcends server boundaries.

The siege unfolds in three stages, forcing players to push from the outer walls to the central throne. Since it's the very first one, there are no incumbent lords, meaning three competing alliances will clash in a chaotic three-way battle for the throne. Who will be the first to breach the gates of Geomeuldun Castle and claim the crown? I’m genuinely looking forward to it.
