July 21, 2026 - The Broken Scales Update

The largest content drop since launch. All content is live now.

Lore Story Quests - a five-quest story arc across the world (any level, story-focused). Complete all five to become a Lorekeeper. Start: Scholar Liora, Izlude harbor.
Relieve the Tideward - Lorekeeper-only capstone that permanently changes how you can face the Tide Wraith in Drowned Aequoria.
Tidemark Bounty Board - daily rotating hunt contracts at Izlude harbor. Three tiers; top tier pays faction tokens.
The Choir Roster - six hidden Faded Echoes scattered in classic dungeons. No markers. Progress tracked at the Choir Memorial, Izlude.
Monument of the Broken Scales - permanently records the first 10 Lorekeepers and the first player to relieve the Tideward.
The Rising Tide - a server-wide tide meter fed by everyone's activity. At 100, the Spring Tide breaks. Check the Tidegauge in Izlude.
The Driftline - send a message in a bottle to a random fellow player. Posts at Izlude, Alberta, Comodo, Malangdo. One per day.
The Saltwalker - a roaming merchant, one town per hour, never announced. Find him.
The Sea-Post - something at the Izlude waterline answers letters. It takes a day to reply. It signs its letters "D."

See the Game Systems book for guides: Lore Story Quests, Tidemark Bounty Board, Relieve the Tideward, The Choir Roster, and Signs on the Tide.

This page tracks notable recent OceaniaRO launch updates, fixes, and balance passes so players can see what has already been changed.

100+ Eden mission boards: reward tuning was increased for early launch testing. Base EXP and Job EXP now scale higher than before, with Job EXP pushed slightly further to smooth class progression.
World Tour Ticket loop: 100+ board completions now have a chance to award World Tour Tickets, giving higher-level missions a small economy reward instead of being pure EXP.
Custom item previews: Curio Crafter, Ossian the Wreckwright, and Sable the Wingwright now show clickable item previews before players commit materials.
Currency guide: Tide Concierge now explains Coral Reef, World Tour Tickets, Cash Points, and how those currencies fit into crafting, voting, playtime, and supporter systems.
Cash shop polish: early +5 and +6 weapon/armor refine tickets were added to the cash shop. Higher refine support remains focused through the custom refiner and World Tour Ticket route.

Poring Haven moved to the old novice grounds, new_1-1, and now includes classic Porings, Drops, Poporings, and Marins alongside custom variants.
Poring Haven Guide was added at new_1-1 (66,115) for healing and warping back to Malangdo.
Persistent QoL settings were added through the Settings Assistant, allowing players to save autoloot and show-exp preferences across logins.
Drowned Aequoria was stabilized during launch testing so the instance remains reliable while future pacing changes are worked on.
