Patch v3.0.29.

· released 2026-09-06 ·
IPolis, Roads & The Hunt
  • Fixed a shade or wraith that landed a killing blow losing its attack cooldown and swinging again immediately.
  • Huntmaster Vael now hands you a click-to-warp button for the Forgotten Polis with First Fang, and whenever you talk to him.
  • Huntmaster Vael no longer mentions the Ancient Roads.
IITartarus Rift
  • The Rift Keeper now sends you straight into the Tartarus Rift when you speak to him again after his introduction.
IIIPath of the Ancients
  • The Earn Hunter Points quest now says the shades are in the Forgotten Polis and how to warp there.
  • Turning in Apply Dust now lists the spawn guides still glowing for you.
  • Mine 250 Iron Ore now points you at your vault (/pv), and Reach Level 30 at the boss hub (/boss).
IVCells, Gangs & Outposts
  • Sentinel guards now hit for 30% less and have one third of their previous health.
VPvP & Dueling
  • Fixed brief server-wide freezes during combat caused by a background stats write.
  • KOTH and Outpost gear limits now also block over-tier armor moved in with a hotbar number key or the offhand swap key.
VIEnchants
  • Heart of Gaia no longer has a level; its enchant line shows no numeral, and its Resonance and Ascension lines are unchanged.
  • The Orb of Moros no longer touches Heart of Gaia: it cannot raise it, and Reroll cannot trade it away or hand one out.
  • Echo Sigils no longer roll Heart of Gaia.
  • The wormhole no longer offers Heart of Gaia; it drops from direct mining only.

· Set Templates ·

  • /sets captures the gear you are wearing as a shareable set template; hold a pickaxe to capture its prestige loadout instead.
  • Track a set and the wormhole stars the enchants it still wants and dims the ones you already have.
  • Typing [set:CODE] in chat posts a clickable link to that set for as long as it exists.
  • A set's page prices what is left to finish it, both best case and the expected cost with failures.
  • /sets publish puts your set in the public browse list immediately.
  • Browse sorts by Trending, New or Top, ranked by how many players track, import and like a set.
  • Like a set from its page, or import it with Copy to my templates for your own editable version.
  • Every enchant in /enchants now shows how many public sets use it.
  • Published sets are also browsable at wiki.ancients.gg/sets, with the full enchant list and prestige rolls.
VIIEndgame Items
  • /offhand tinker now tab-completes for everyone; it was only ever suggested to staff.
  • The /offhand menu now shows what tinkering your equipped offhand costs and its chance to reach the next tier.
  • Fixed offhands being wiped by repeated /offhand tinker use.
  • /offhand now says your offhands are still loading instead of showing an empty collection right after you join.
  • Fixed Hephaestus's Spark setting fire to blocks when you right clicked with it equipped.
VIIIQuality of Life
  • Tutorial trails to the storytellers and exit portal now appear from level 10; the Lost Miner trail shows at every level.
  • Opening the loot browser no longer causes a server hitch.
  • Global boosters now queue: a stronger one starts at once and pauses the weaker, a weaker one waits its turn, and /boosters lists the queue.
  • Prestiging no longer costs you your Weekly Top payout.
  • Weekly Top judges the level requirement on whether you have ever reached it, so XP extraction or an admin level change cannot void a placement.
  • A Weekly Top payout that cannot verify a winner is now retried instead of skipped.
  • Ancient Energy orbs now carry a description of what energy is for and how to use it; orbs you own pick it up on your next login.
  • Mining uses far less bandwidth: your pickaxe is no longer re-sent to your client several times per block.
  • Pickaxe tooltips are about half the size on the wire, with no visible change.
  • The tab list only updates when a name changes instead of re-sending every player every 2 seconds.
  • The sidebar only redraws the line that changed instead of every line every second.
  • Auto-sell no longer re-sends your entire inventory on every block you mine.
  • Skywars wins now count toward the weekly leaderboard from 2 players, matching the size a round actually starts at.
  • Winning a Skywars round too small for the weekly leaderboard now says so, and how many players it needed.
  • Fixed Skywars wins not counting toward the weekly leaderboard when the round ended on the time limit.
  • Fixed a Slag Charge in your offhand setting fire to blocks when you right clicked.
  • Fixed the Smoldering Lodestone setting fire to blocks when you right clicked.
IXBedrock Edition
  • Bedrock Edition is supported: join play.ancients.gg on port 19132. Bedrock names show with a leading dot.
  • Every right-click or shift-click menu action has a tap-only route on Bedrock: extra buttons, cycling controls or a typed command.
  • Bedrock players confirm a Daedalus Construct recall or a Talos fuel unload with a second tap within 10 seconds.
  • Bedrock players preview a kit in /gkit or the Golden Ticket menu before claiming, so a first tap never spends a ticket.
  • Chat buttons show Bedrock players the command to type: invites, duels, trades, quest rewards, nametag confirms and share links.
  • Web addresses print as plain text for Bedrock players in /uploadcode, /vote, the hub Discord line and chat tips.
  • Bedrock players tap once to start firing the Ancient Bow or Wand and tap again to stop; a stream ends on its own after 8 seconds.
  • New /xpbottle split halves the XP bottle in your hand; overflow goes to your stash.
  • Staff commands and player lookups now work on offline Bedrock players, and names match without the leading dot.
  • Leaderboards and lists show a Bedrock player's name instead of 00000000, and boards show their skin when online.
  • Bedrock players see staff rank tags as text, no missing-glyph boxes, a plain [Pass] badge, and above-head tags that no longer flicker.
  • Bedrock players no longer get AncientsMod or voice-chat tips, and prompts say tap, sneak and use, or drop instead of Java keys.
  • Bedrock players now see the block-break crack while mining and get the same 3 tick completion grace as Java.
  • Bedrock players no longer get pushed back when stepping onto stairs and slabs.
  • Fixed empty black boxes on Bedrock: the mining gain popup and fading reward popups no longer leave one behind.
