Age of War Chapter 4 Public Beta Patch Notes (7 March 2024)

Known Issues

• Using the Burning Siege Boulder Trebuchet Ammo at the new Luxur Camp on Isle of Siptah may cause a server crash

• Items may vanish when moving them to the inventory * This is due to desync between client and server. Logging out/back in will resolve the missing issues and they will be back where they belong

• Placing items into Thrall-pet inventories causes them to vanish * Resolved, but the fix didn’t make it into the public beta build

  Controller Functionality

• If disconnected from the server, you will need to close/reopen your client to regain controller functionality

• The controller will not function/navigate in the thrall equipment panel

New Additions

Seasonal Event: “The Sacred Hunt”

• Players are ambushed at night by followers of Jhebbal Sag

• Ambush enemies can drop a Map leading to the new event hub

• A large beam of light can also be seen shooting into the sky signifying the camps position

• The hub has a Vendor and Quest NPC to interact with, as well as a crafting table (Altar of Jhebbal Sag) to craft Grand Champion Lures

• Purchase Champion Lures at the Vendor NPC using the Gnarled Fangs dropped from Ambush NPCs

• Use Champion Lures at a small number of locations around the map (exact locations are hinted to by camp NPCs) to summon a champion to defeat

• Champions (including the final boss) take minimal damage unless the player is naked and wearing the bodypaint purchased at the hub vendor

• Use materials acquired from Champions found on the map to craft the Grand Champion Lure at the hub Altar of Jhebbal Sag after speaking to the Bloody Tongue of Jhebbal Sag NPC

• Purchase and drink the Potion of the Hunt from Vendor to teleport to the Boss Arena
