    Arkadia VU Release Notes 13th June 2023


    New Daily Missions

    Arkadia Moon, Arkadia Planet, and the Underground (UG), offers distinct daily missions focused on activities like hunting, crafting, and mining. Upon completing these missions each day, you will receive Arkadia Daily Insignias as a reward. You can get the daily missions from Mysterious Traveler in the following locations:
    Planet Arkadia Surface @ Celeste Quarry.
    Planet Arkadia Underground @ Arkadia Underground TP.
    Arkadia Moon @ Gamma Portal.

    Daily Rewards
    By utilizing the Arkadia Daily Insignia, you have the opportunity to acquire particle sample blueprints through the Arkadia Daily Rewards system. You can exchange the Daily Arkadia Insignias at Mysterious Merchant which can be found in the same locations as Mysterious Traveler.


    New blueprints
    There are newly introduced Particle Sample blueprints awaiting to be discovered. Particle Samples will have a variety of uses both in unlocking new content as missions and instances and also used for upgrading the Lunar Plates.


    New Instance - Smuggler Genetics Laboratory
    The enigmatic Genetics Laboratory has been constructed beneath the surface of Arkadia Moon by a group of smuggler scientists. The motivations behind its creation remain shrouded in mystery. However, there are suspicions that these scientists aim to disrupt the stability of Arkadia Moon. It can be accessed through a secret door inside one of the tunnels of Arkadia Moon.
    To gain access the Genetics Labs Player will need to pay a one time fee to Smuggler Kayla, a Complete Particle Sample. After the one time fee the player will pay a small fee for a 5 hours entrance pass to the instance.

    New armor plates - Lunar Plates
    The quest to uncover Lunar Plates within the Abomination Laboratory is underway. Speculations suggest that these armor plates hold potential for upgrades until it reaches a state of perfection.

    New Player Experience
    We've reworked both the Startroom and Planet side new player areas to provide a more streamlined and intuitive introduction to the game. Say goodbye to confusion and welcome a revamped NPE missions chain that offers comprehensive information about the game. We've condensed the content and made it more intuitive, ensuring a smoother learning curve for all new players. Now, you'll have a clearer understanding of the game mechanics right from the start.

    Mini chain mission, doable only by Arkadians
    An additional mini-chain mission has been introduced after the New Player Experience, exclusively available to Arkadians.


    New Oratan Wave event at Repulse Firebase activatable by players
    Players have the opportunity to activate the recently introduced Oratan Wave event at Repulse Firebase. For further information, seek out the Smuggler Joe located in Arkadia Underground.


    Additional objective to PTech Maintenance Mission
    Upon completing the Daily PTech Mission, players are required to eliminate a certain number of Monuras as the final objective.


    Sweat circle
    A sweat circle has been added to Celeste Outpost

    Terrain & Materials Adjusted
    All terrain has been smoothed on Arkadia Moon to make life easier for miners


    Moon Mining
    Adjustments have been made to the mining resources that can be found on Arkadia Moon.


    Moon Revival Points
    Revival points have been added in proximity to creature spawn locations on Arkadia Moon.


    Arkadia Advisers
    To express our gratitude towards Arkadian Advisers, we have introduced their avatar appearances in both the Start Room and IFN Supply Depot. Furthermore, our future plans involve adding dialogs to all of them with FAQ responses about the game.

    Gold Rush
    Gold Rush will be back this year. More information coming soon.


    Migration-like event on Planet Arkadia
    Working on a migration-like event that will take place on Planet Arkadia surface with an arkadian twist. More information coming soon.


    Currently in development :
    -A rework of the Aakas instances.
    -Planetary scale event.
    -More content will be added on Arkadia Moon.
    -More uses for newly added blueprints and Daily Arkadia Insignias.
    -More factions exclusive content for Smugglers and IFN.

    And as always if you have any questions or comments i am only a DM away ingame or on Arkadia Discord https://discord.gg/wZZAJQWqyz.

    Love it that dailies are not just for hunting but also crafting and mining. Though have to say the options are a little unclear and perhaps over complicated, or maybe I need more coffee. Also what is turn round for next daily. as varies planet to planet from 1 hour cooldown to 20 to 24.
    Can we do more than one same day, ie ore and enmat and treasure ?

    Cool down are 22hours and you can do one of each Crafting/Hunting/Mining. If you choose mining all 3 Ore/enM/treasure count as one.

    The new mini-chain mission is bugged as it is not recognising that I already have a passport, and instead tells me I need to obtain one.

    The new mini mission chain are only for Arkadian born avatars and start after the new player experience, and if you did the old one i dont believe you can do it again.

    Nina disagrees with you, she says I need a passport: "This mission is exclusively reserved for Arkadians, either those who were born here or possess an Arkadian passport. As you are not an Arkadian, I regret to inform you that this mission is not available to you."

    And she is even willing to explain to me how I can get a passport. But I have a passport.

    Hi guys, I just tried the Ark Moon maintenance mission's new additional task to kill monuras, but it's pretty insane. Had to spend almost 6 PED to complete it, basically down 4 PED after rewards. Not sure if this is intended.

    Also there is a text in the same mission description that reads "test maintenance".

    Your math is a little weird. It takes 5 peds to hunt, after which the mission ends. I'm not quite sure how you managed to spend 6 peds. But in any case, spending on the hunt can't be considered a net loss because you get reimbursed in the form of loot. The mission would be a loss if the return on the hunt was less than 60%, which in itself is a very unlikely event.

    You claim that you are left with a loss of 4 peds after receiving a reward of 2 peds. From what I said above - this is only possible in one case - if you didn't collect loot from mobs at all, in which case it's strange to blame the mission authors.

    I'm sure more people will add in their findings. But this is my data from 14/6/2023, so it is not merely a "claim".

    Weapon used: Herman LAW TT L

    Starting Ammo (PED): 5.65
    Total Expended Ammo (PED): 4.91
    Starting Weapon (PED): 2.55
    Total Weapon Decay (PED): 0.09
    Total Loot: 1.39
    Total Profit: -3.61
    Percentage Return: 28.31%

    Do note that Total Loot includes shrapnel returns as well from creatures.

    I have data going back to 2/18/2023, 77 points of data, average of 127% returns. But for my 14/6/2023 hunt, my returns are an abysmal 28.31%. My next lowest returns is 43.02% back in 2/18/2023.

    It's only 1 day of data, yes, but it is strange the reduction is so high for this one particular update.

    I am arkadia born, and also have a passport, but that npc says I don't have either...

    To be clear, the fix will allow us to do it right? I was born on arkadia 11+ years ago but I should still be able to do the new player content if I meet the requirements.
