Arcana: LAND | Announcements

🍺 The Holiday Has Arrived in Arcana!

Merlin flipped the calendar...

And somehow it's September 3rd all over again! 📚

That means it's time to celebrate the beginning of the school year with a fresh mug of delicious unfiltered wheat beer. 🍻

🎁 Special Holiday Offer

Head over to the Docks!

For just 1 Training Book, you can exchange it for your very own Mug of Beer.

⚠️ Please note:

You can complete only one of Dock orders.

So don't miss your chance!

Cheers... and bottoms up! 🍺

🔧 Minor Update

We've released a few quality-of-life improvements to make the game even more convenient.

⚒️ 1. Smelter Balance Fix

The efficiency coefficient of the Smelter Worker in the Tavern has been corrected.

Its performance now matches the intended game balance.

---

💎 2. New Market Trading Pair

A new trading pair has been added to the Market:

Quartz ⇄ SHARD

Now you can buy and sell Quartz directly for SHARD.

---

👷 3. Hide Workers

You can now hide Workers from your list, just like Buildings.

Hidden Workers:

• 👀 won't appear in the general Worker list;
• ⛪ won't be available in the Church;
• 🎓 won't appear in the School.

This makes it much easier to organize your collection and avoid accidentally selecting important Workers.

More improvements are on the way!

🍺 Major Content Update is Live!

The world of Arcana: LAND continues to expand! Today we're introducing new buildings, new resources, and another step toward a living economy.

⛲ New Building — Well

The Well is now available!

It allows you to produce a brand-new resource:

💧 Water

⚠️ Pay close attention to its production time and durability consumption per cycle — planning matters!

---

🍻 New Building — Tavern

The Tavern is now available for crafting.

Inside it you can brew a brand-new product:

🍺 Beer

---

🛶 Boat Upgrades

The Boat has received new upgrade levels.

At Level 5, it can discover and gather a new resource:

🌿 Hops

---

📦 New Resources

🌿 Hops
Required for brewing Beer in the Tavern.

🪟 Glass
Smelted from Quartz in a Level 5 Smelter.

💧 Water
Produced in the Well.

🍺 Beer
Crafted in the Tavern.

When used on a Worker, Beer restores 1 to 10 Morale at random (never exceeding the worker's maximum Morale).

---

More production chains, more choices, and even more reasons to keep developing your settlement.

Good luck, settlers! 🍻

📈 Minor Market Update

We've made several improvements to the Market to make trading more stable and predictable.

⚖️ 1. Morale Check Updated

Worker Morale is now checked before an order is executed, instead of after.

This makes order execution more accurate and eliminates edge cases where an order could fail after being matched.

📊 2. Price Limits Added

New orders can now only be placed within ±20% of the current average market price.

This helps protect the market from extreme price manipulation and accidental listings.

🛡 3. Market Buy Walls

The game now places automatic buy walls on the Market at minimum prices.

These walls provide a guaranteed minimum liquidity and help stabilize the economy.

More improvements are on the way!

⚔️ Dungeon Update

The first explorers have already returned from the depths... and Merlin has made a few adjustments.

🛌 1. Rest After Every Expedition

From now on, after every Dungeon run, your Worker must rest for 6 hours.

It doesn't matter whether the expedition was successful or not.

During this time the Worker:

• ✅ Can continue working in buildings.
• ❌ Cannot enter another Dungeon.
• ❌ Cannot equip or remove gear.

This makes having multiple Workers for Dungeon expeditions much more valuable.

---

👹 2. New Dungeon Added

A brand-new Dungeon is now available!

Inside you'll find:

• 💰 Increased rewards
• 🛡 A brand-new armor set
• 👹 Unique Bosses

Merlin has only one piece of advice...

> *If you encounter one of them... running away might be the smartest decision.*

Of course...

Their loot is unlike anything you've seen before.

Good luck, adventurers. You'll need it.

⚔️ Update: Dungeons Are Now in the Game!

The entrance to the underground world has been prepared...

It's almost time to descend beneath Arcana.

A brand-new item, Ladder, can now be crafted in the Workshop.

🎙 AMA Session

All details about the upcoming Underground Dungeon update will be revealed during our next AMA Session:

📅 07.08
🕑 14:00 UTC

See you there... if you dare.

Changes to the balance of Shard production in the SMELTER:
1) Crafting time for 1 cycle increased (from 1 hour to 3 hours)
2) Shard production rate with level changed

🔄 Referral System Returns

The Ambassador System has been disabled.

Unfortunately, it didn't deliver the results we had hoped for. With the recent improvements to the new player onboarding experience, we've decided to bring back the classic referral system.

How it works

🥇 First-level referrals

You receive 15% from all SHARD/TON purchases made by your direct referrals in the Game Shop, including Buildings, Workers, and other shop items.

🥈 Second-level referrals

You also receive 3% from all SHARD/TON purchases made by your second-level referrals in the Game Shop.

Important

Referral rewards apply only to purchases made in the Game Shop.

They do not apply to trades on the Resource Market.

Thank you for helping Arcana: LAND grow! 🚀

🏮 New Building: Lamp

A new building has arrived in Arcana: LAND — the Lamp!

The Lamp reduces the SHARD cost of purchasing Premium, Buildings, and Workers.

The higher your Lamp level, the greater the discount you'll receive.

The best part? SHARD and Training Books are not required to craft or upgrade the Lamp.

This means even smaller accounts can build and improve it without major difficulty.

Minor Updates

⚖️ Reputation now affects TON withdrawals

Reputation is now directly linked to withdrawals from the game.

• If your Reputation is below -50, you cannot withdraw TON.

• If your Reputation is below 0, you can withdraw up to 5 TON every 30 days.

👤 New player reputation changes

All newly registered players now start with 0 Reputation.

However, for the first purchase of each unique Building and each unique Worker, you'll receive +15 Reputation / +10 Reputation.

This means collecting all 4 different Buildings and 4 different Workers allows you to reach 100 Reputation.

These changes are designed to prevent players from using newly created accounts to generate "free Reputation" and transfer it to their main account.

📈 Market Fees Updated

The marketplace fee has been increased from 1% to 8% for all trading pairs.

Thank you for supporting the long-term stability of the game's economy. 🚀

⚠️ Important Notice
One of the players has discovered a loophole that allows Reputation to be gained through newly created accounts.
We are already aware of the issue, and a fix will be released soon.
The investigation and technical work are currently in progress.
Please do not attempt to exploit this mechanic.
Thank you for your patience, and have a great game!

🏪 Game Store is Now Live!

The new Game Store is now available in Arcana: LAND.

From now on, the game itself sells Buildings and Workers directly to players.

All prices are fixed in TON, while purchases are made using SHARD (automatically converted at the current exchange rate).

How does it work?

• Purchase cooldown

Each item has its own cooldown timer.

This means you can't immediately buy multiple copies of the same Building or Worker in a row.

For example, buying three Sawmills one after another won't be possible.

• Limited Supply

Every item has a limited total supply available for purchase.

Once all units of an item are sold out, its price will be adjusted before new stock becomes available.

This system helps maintain a healthier and more sustainable in-game economy.

Have fun exploring the new Store! 🚀

🔧 Minor Update

We've rolled out several small improvements to make the game more convenient.

⭐ Premium

Premium now counts only jobs that were started for more than 6 hours.

Previously, every active job counted toward your Premium limit.

This makes Premium work exactly as intended and gives you more flexibility when managing shorter tasks.

🎓 School

The Change Gender and Change Profession windows now display the worker's current professions.

This makes it much easier to understand which worker you're modifying before confirming the action.

👷 Workers

We've fixed the worker timer display.

From now on, busy workers will always show a timer, making them easy to distinguish from idle workers.

🏪 New Market is Coming

Work on the new Buildings & Workers Market is almost complete.

It should become available today or tomorrow.

Thank you for your patience — we're putting the finishing touches on it.

⚠️ Major Economy Update

> *"Free trade has led us to disaster. The rich keep getting richer... enough is enough."*

Today we're making major changes to how Buildings and Workers are obtained.

---

## 🏪 The Market Building is no longer required

The Market building has been removed from the progression.

Instead of selling Buildings or Workers to other players, you can now dismantle them and choose one of two rewards:

⭐ Gain Reputation

or

📦 Receive resources + SHARD (Workers return **SHARD only**).

---

⚠️ Important

Before demolishing your Market, make sure all active listings have been removed.

---

## 👷 Worker Crafting Changes

Crafting Workers has been disabled.

This includes:

• Random Worker crafting

• Worker crafting inside buildings

From now on, the main way to obtain new Workers is through Breeding in the Church.

---

## 🏗 Building Crafting Disabled

Crafting Buildings inside production buildings has also been disabled.

---

## 🛒 What's next?

Next week we'll launch a brand-new Game Store.

Instead of relying on player-to-player trading, the game itself will sell:

🏠 Starter Buildings

👷 Starter Workers

for SHARD, with prices tied to a fixed TON value.

This system will make the economy more predictable, fair, and accessible for everyone.

More details coming soon.

The sale of workers and buildings is temporarily disabled to avoid abuse.

⚠️ Market Update

To support the new Reputation system, we've added one more automatic protection.

If a player's Reputation falls below the threshold that blocks Market access, all of their active SHARD sell orders will be automatically cancelled.

📦 The SHARD from those orders will be safely returned to the player's balance.

This prevents situations where players lose Market access while their orders remain active.

Please keep an eye on your Reputation and trade responsibly.
