ArcheAge Unchained’s ArchePass is back in the news again, this time with some adjustments as Season 2 kicks off.
The Vocation ArchePass will reward you with the Rabbit’s Foot Uniform as its grand prize, while the Equipment pass’s grand prize is a baby penguin, and the Combat pass will see a grand prize of the Triple Engine Hot Air Balloon.
Quest adjustments have also been made:
- The "Socket a Lunagem" quest has been removed, as many players brought up that after some time it starts to require a lot of gold or if you're finished gemming then it's more difficult as time goes on.
- The "Kill 100 members of the Hostile Faction" and "Kill 200 members of the Hostile Faction" quests have been adjusted to "Kill 10 members of the Hostile Faction" and "Kill 20 members of the Hostile Faction". Many players noted the difficulty of this quest outside of events such as Halcyona as well as the difficulty for players who play support classes such as Healers and Tanks.
- The quests "Earn Vocation/Honor 2000" and "Earn Vocation/Honor 4000" values have been reduced to "500" and "1000" respectively. This is for both "Earn Honor" and "Earn Vocation" as many players found the quest restricting towards the day to day activities they could participate in if they wanted to complete it.
- The "Kill 20 World Bosses" quest was reduced to "Kill 10 World Bosses" based on feedback received, 10 is manageable throughout a normal week of gameplay but 20 would be pushing the boundary of day-to-day gameplay versus the feeling of needing to focus on the ArchePass, which isn't the intention.
- The "Kill 300 Monsters" and "Kill 500 Monsters" quests were reduced to "Kill 50 Monsters" and "Kill 100 Monsters" due to feedback similar to that against the high number of Hostile Faction kills. Players who played support classes found it more difficult and time-consuming to complete the quests as opposed to damage based classes.
- The "Use 2000" and "4000 Labor" quests were reduced to "Use 500 Labor" and "Use 1000 Labor", as many players felt the higher numbers forced labor use if they wanted to complete the quest as opposed to normal day-to-day gameplay.
