Our Pendragon test server has been updated with Patch 1.129!
Highlights
-
PvP Improvements
-
Outpost Claiming Changes
-
Character Updates
-
Class Balance Updates
Please hop on Pendragon and check out the below changes. Let us know your thoughts and report any issues you may find in the 1.129 patch channels in our official DAoC Discord, thank you!
Important Note:
-
We highly suggest duplicating your game directory and using the duplicate copy as a Pendragon-only game directory *before* patching and testing on Pendragon.
-
This means duplicating the entire "Labyrinth" folder (usually found at C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\Labyrinth) to another location and using that copied folder exclusively for Pendragon testing.
-
If you do not do this, you *will* experience issues when patching from Pendragon back to live.
-
To force the live client to fix these issues, you will need to delete the mft.myp in your game's directory and then run the camelot.exe patcher again.
For those interested in testing on Pendragon, follow the character copy process here!

Albion, Hibernia, and Midgard have stood against each other in an endless struggle for dominance. Now, as the anniversary of this eternal war arrives, it is time to prove once more that your realm is the realm that stands strongest! Defeat your enemies and fly your realm's banner!

Each kill in the event zone awards you 1 medallion of strength (5 if solo).

The event area rotates daily, with first rotation being Pennine Mountains.
-
Each enemy kill in the event area has a low chance to award you with an Anniversary Chest!

Level 50 characters on Veteran accounts can now visit the King in their capital city’s Throne Room to receive their Anniversary Gift - a thank you to our players to mark 23 years of Dark Age of Camelot! The Anniversary Gift contains many surprises to suit the variety of players that make DAoC so special.
Some notes and reminders:
-
*You will need 4 free inventory spaces – so please ensure that you have the available inventory slots prior to picking up your Anniversary Gift! *
-
A note about MTX Race/Name/Gender Respecs: Please remember that accounts can only have one of each respec active at a time. If you should be awarded a Race, Name, or Gender respec, it is recommended that you use it prior to obtaining the Anniversary Gift on other characters. They do not stack!
-
Albion note: the King's Royal guard is once again closer to the main Camelot teleporter in order to facilitate easier port in to the Throne Room.
-
Anniversary Gifts will be available until October 18th.
Additionally, in celebration of Dark Age of Camelot's 23rd anniversary, we are including a 3 charge 100% Realm Point Bonus potion.
Traveling Merchants
The Traveling Merchants have returned and have gotten into the spirit of the season! Visit the costumed merchants and browse their new wares.
Going forward, merchants will remain permanently, but their wares will rotate throughout the year.
-
Ghostly Weapons are now available for this merchants rotation.
-
Shrouded Isle tinctures are also available from the potion merchant.
-
Lesser Mythirians and the Atlantis Goods have been removed from this rotation of the merchants.

Friends and Realm Mates,
23 years ago today, in the town of Fairfax in the Commonwealth of Virginia, USA - Dark Age of Camelot was introduced to the world by a collective of talented and like-minded people. At that time, DAoC was a bit of a rarity – MMOs hadn’t really made their mark on the gaming landscape, so I believe it’s fair to say that nobody could have predicted what the remarkable course and impact of this game would be.
If in 2001, someone were to have told the team at Mythic Entertainment that the three realms would still be at war in 2024, they might have been dubious but (and this I know for a fact) extremely proud. Broadsword is home to several members of the original Dark Age of Camelot development and launch team – and for me, even after 18 years, I still relish their stories, share in their reminiscence, and revel at rare bits of arcane knowledge.
It's a joy and a privilege to have the opportunity to continue to serve DAoC and its community of players, and as we approach the end of 2024 and head into the new year, we are excited to continue to bring you content that stays true to the heart of this game we love so much.
Faithfully yours,
Eldariian
Our 23rd anniversary begins with realm bonuses on both Ywain and Gaheris. Following on from those we'll have Anniversary Gifts for all your level 50 toons, and Traveling Merchants will make a spooky return. We'll also be starting two events later this month: one new event and, of course, the other our Halloween event! Look out for a new special Halloween MTX item coming soon!

After battling against, or for, the demonic scourge that reigned havoc across the lands, the realms have begun to settle. But it's in times like this, this preoccupation, that sees another foe poised to take advantage to increase its power, and strike!
Recent Doppelgangers behavior has puzzled researchers across the land. Long-time veteran realm guards in Breifine, Pennine Mountains, and Jamtland report that they have not seen or heard reports of Doppelgangers these past few days. A call to arms is made, and a bounty awaits those who would muster their courage, summon their realm mates, to find out what this evil is planning and rid the land of this foul menace.
Alerted to the danger, the kings of the realms have placed a bounty on Doppelgangers in order to dispel these forces, before it's too late.
-
A daily group credit quest has returned requiring players to hunt down and cull the Doppelganger numbers for a reward of 10 Invader Seals.
-
Doppelgangers have a rare chance to drop additional Invader Seals regardless of the quest being active or not.
-
Each character can only benefit from a max of 300 seals.
-
Doppelganger spawn rates have been increased in Hadrian's Wall, Odin's Gate, Emain Macha, and Ellan Vannin.
-
New Doppelganger spawn locations have been added to Hadrian's Wall, Odin's Gate, Emain Macha, and Ellan Vannin.
-
Doppelgangers have been removed from the areas of Breifine, Pennine Mountains, and Jamtland Mountains for the duration of the event.
-
Rewards can be claimed at the Doppelganger Traitor at the strength relic town or in capital cities, and are unlocked at the following thresholds:
-
10 seals = 1x Elixir of Conquest
-
25 seals = 1x Doppelganger Consignment Merchant
-
75 seals = 1x 50% Realm Point Bonus potion (3 charges)
-
125 seals = 1x Draught of Conquest
-
175 seals = 1x 100% Realm Point Bonus potion (3 charges)
-
225 seals = 1x Starlight Weapon Token
-
300 seals = 1 50% Realm Point Bonus potion (30 charges)
-
Doppelganger realm point reward has been doubled.
-
Invader Seals earned from the previous Doppelganger Invasion event will not count towards this event.
-
The Doppelganger Traitor NPC found in the capital cities (only this one!) is also offering a way to expedite the event at a significant discount to the normal price of the event's mithril rewards!
Doppelganger Lords
While repairs continue on the merchant keeps, Doppelgangers have quietly situated themselves within the ruins. This is strange behavior, even for a Doppelganger. Adventurers must take care when entering these keeps, for few know what else lies within?!
A new quest has been added requiring players to defeat the Progenitor Doppelgangers at Caer Benowyc, Bledmeer Faste, Dun Crauchon, and on Ellan Vannin.
-
This quest is repeatable, group credit within the Crossroads regions, and awards realm points. Does not auto renew.
Note: The quest's objective is to kill the Doppelganger Lord in each of its 4 locations, and provides a separate reward. The quest is not necessary to spawn and kill the Doppelganger Lord, as killing Doppelgangers and realm enemies is the objective of the event, and you may spawn the Lords, and receive area rewards with or without the quest.
-
Killing players and Doppelgangers within an area will cause a Progenitor Doppelganger Lord to spawn on the keep roof, or, if on Ellan Vannin, the center of the island.
-
Only one Doppelganger Lord may be up at a time.
-
Once a Doppelganger Lord has been killed, players killed within that Crossroads region will be worth more realm points for 15 minutes.
-
This Realm Point boost can be refreshed by killing a Doppelganger Lord in the same Crossroads region. Work swiftly for if the Doppelganger Lord meets with defeat too many times, it will abandon the ruined keep at which it is situated and take up a position in another realm or on the island of Ellan Vannin.
-
Killing a Doppelganger Lord awards area credit realm points. On Ellan Vannin, this area has a radius around the center that does not extend beyond the milegates. The area is quite large, but be aware that it does not reach the outskirts of the map.
Event Port Movement
The ability to port to a random location within Hadrian's Wall, Odin's Gate, or Emain Macha has been added to the relic town's portal Obelisk.
A 50% realm point bonus has been activated in the regions of Hadrian's Wall, Odin's Gate, Emain Macha, and Ellan Vannin for the duration of the event.
Players should speak with the Doppelganger Traitor at relic towns or in their capital cities to start these quests.
-
All event rewards and invader seals are no-trade, no-drop, and no-sell. They are destroyable however are required in order to turn in for rewards.
-
Any leftover invader seals on a character will be removed at the end of the event and cannot be transferred to other characters.
-
The Doppelganger Invasion event will come to an end on Thursday, October 10th, 2024.
