Update-Notizen und Roadmap sind auf Englisch geschrieben.
VAM speaks your language
Item, recipe, feat, perk and lore texts and NPC names now follow the game language – all 12 languages of the game menu. Plus four fixes – one of them stops items from vanishing when you spawn.
Languages
- VAM's item, recipe, feat, perk and lore texts and NPC names now follow the language you pick in the game menu – also when you switch it while playing.
- All 12 languages of the game menu: English, German, French, Italian, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Spanish, Japanese, Korean and Chinese (Simplified and Traditional).
- German, Russian and Spanish now use the game's own terms – Steinnase instead of Felsnase, for example.
- Window texts are still English.
Fixed
- Inventory: when your character spawned, VAM could remove one item from the first slot of your backpack, hotbar and equipment (on servers sometimes only on your screen). This no longer happens. The item ban check now runs only on the server.
- Auction House: the sort field shows its full text (Newest, Price low, Price high, Ends soon).
- Ouroboros: Tyr's Edge and Heimdall's Sight now really add weapon damage (strength and agility weapons).
- Professions: crafting at the Simple and Advanced VAM Blacksmith now gives Smith experience (it went to Builder before).
- Rebuilt with the current modding kit for the game update of October 6.
VAM leaves the map
Valkyrie raids, tavern guests, story contracts, alchemy and 10 bronze = 1 silver. Before you update: back up your server – purses and market offers are converted once, and the VAM map parts are removed.
World
- VAM no longer changes the map. The hub, portal room, Time Mine, Elder Grove, Valkyrie camps, Black Pool dungeon, frost temple and ancient boss camps are gone. Sepermeru keeps its bounty board and market stand (without the portal).
- The Valkyries live among the vanilla factions now - Votaries, Heirs of the North, Lemurians, Black Hand, Dogs of the Desert, Forgotten Tribe, Exiles and Relic Hunters in the Exiled Lands; Obsidian Ones, Invaders, Corsairs, Exiles and Accursed on Siptah. Their bosses (Primarchs, Ymir's daughters, the mistresses) appear as rare leaders. Loot is unchanged, Valkyrie thralls can still be captured.
- The seven ancients appear in Funcom's boss spawns; on Siptah the Ancient Dragon wakes among the green dragons, the Ancient Crocodile among the giant alligators.
- Siptah: the six mythic rocknose minibosses and the Lava Rocknose King spawn there too.
- Valkyries no longer join purges.
- Logged out inside a removed area? You are moved to a safe place nearby on the next login.
- Buildings that rested on camp structures (e.g. the jungle camp jetty) lose that support.
- Valkyrie raids: kill a Valkyrie priestess at Ymir's shrines (Heirs of the North; on Siptah with the Aesir and Vanir) and her sisters may come for you - a war band of 2-4 Valkyries, sometimes led by a Primarch. 50 % chance, 45 min rest, from level 30 (adjustable).
- The hub residents return as tavern guests: Brunhild, Sagrim, Ysolde, Grimnar and Hakon now and then, Veleda (smoke readings) and Thorvald (old maps) at certain hours.
- Story contracts at the bounty board: the 24 stories of the former hub residents and the first Lore Arc contracts.
- Crystal rocknoses have a new look; about every fifth one glimmers and carries 50 % more crystal.
- 18 new lore items to find.
- Admin piece "Valkyrian Black Pool Altar (Admin)": offer a figurine to summon its ancient beast (now also Crocodile, Scorpion and Spider). The beast leaves after 30 min, the altar then rests 15 min (adjustable).
Alchemy
- Learn the "Alchemy" feat (level 10), build the Alchemist's Cauldron and drag in a water flask and one to four ingredients. Every ingredient carries four hidden virtues - what two share comes out, stronger the more share it. One ingredient makes a weak tincture. Each server shuffles the secrets.
- A base changes what you get: water alone makes a potion, firewater a long-lasting elixir, oil a weapon coating for 25 hits, blood a draught for your thralls and pets. Glowing and Lingering Essence make a brew stronger or longer.
- 53 virtues - from Featherfall, double jumps and night sight to Shadow Veil, Second Wind and Iron Skin. Nine secret masterworks, like the Batwing Draught, appear only when three virtues meet in balance.
- Your Alchemy Book keeps every virtue and recipe; known recipes brew again with one click (Quick brew, x5, All). Too many potions at once will turn your stomach.
- Cauldron slots grow with the Provisioner profession (2, 3 from level 30, 4 from 60; masters brew 20 % stronger).
- Profession shop: the Provisioner sells seeds of Aloe, all lotus flowers and the Midnight Blue Flower (5 for 2 tokens) - grind the lotus into powder for the cauldron.
Economy
- 10 bronze = 1 silver (1 gold = 100 silver = 1,000 bronze). Purses, bids and offers were converted and keep their value.
- Gold leaves your purse only up to the gold you put in; the rest is paid in silver.
- Clan coffers count treasure in silver; purges start with the same number of coins - in silver (a Gilded Urn: 5 gold instead of 500).
- VAM gear from level 40 on is repaired with silver coins: 1 / 3 / 10 (level 40 / 60 / 80+).
- Disassembling: coin piles give silver and bronze instead of gold, the Transportory Stone bronze bars, the purge gold treasures silver bars.
- Iron (1 %) and star metal (2 %) veins can give a mythic ore: Vulcanoit, Unholy Ice, Lysanthir, Urghat or Holy Serpent.
- Gold dust has no source any more; its recipes use silver dust.
- Artisan Table: 1 Fragment of Power for 3 Valkyrian Shards.
- The eight crystal hearts no longer spoil; the 13 VAM heads can no longer be sold at the Auction House.
- Profession shop: 131 price labels match the real prices again.
- Auction House: filter by category and sort by newest, buyout or ending soon; tabs show icons and how many auctions you run. An overbid must be at least 5 % higher (at least 1 silver).
- Bounty board: a head stack is only taken if its full value fits your daily token limit.
- Bounty shop: now open by default, also on existing servers (admins can close it again). The Greater Attribute Book is no longer sold.
- Rocknose minibosses are called "<X> Rocknose Miniboss" and count for the "Minibosses" contract.
Clans and followers
- New Treasury tab in the clan window: members deposit, officers withdraw up to 25 % a day, the leader without limit.
- Declaring war costs 20 silver + 2 per enemy member (max 200) from the treasury; 48 h cooldown per pair.
- New: Shieldmaiden Drill I-III for human thralls - 50 / 200 / 800 silver, +7 % health and damage per stage. Valkyries and animals cannot be drilled, and the thrall must follow you.
Character
- New progress line under the XP bar and in the Shift+P header: cycle, percent, XP to the next level and a time estimate. Switch it with "HUD line: on/off".
- Professions are now stored with your character (moved once from the old server file).
- Primarchs are elite enemies: +50 % health and consciousness, +25 % armor, +50 % kill XP.
- New players see a welcome window on their first login (admins can switch it off).
- Two new Mythic-to-Black card lines: Steady Footing raises your knockdown defense (Mythic +59 - big beasts and clubs still throw you), Shield Wall does the same for your human thralls.
- Card game kill milestones give +2 % kill XP each.
- Profession XP pops up every 3 seconds; reaching a stage is announced.
- Valkyrian armor: the legs remove 1 corruption every 5 s, the chest heals 2 health/s outside combat.
Admins
- VAM 2.0 Systems page: every number has - / + buttons (Shift x10, Ctrl x100) and shows its unit. "Highest Price per Offer" now shows real gold - if you changed it before, check it once.
- Switching off Rebirth or Professions now also switches the server side.
- New switch "Trading Open": closes buying, bidding, listing and mail server-wide.
- New settings: treasury share, war fee, drill price and strength, auction minimum raise. The trade page shows the daily coin flow.
- The Token of Death switch now warns that its drops ignore the token cap.
- The settings of the removed map parts are gone.
Fixed
- Ouroboros: the "Complete the cycle?" window no longer gets stuck - closing the Ouroboros page closes it too, and the card choice no longer covers it.
- Thor's Grip and Skadi's Aim now really add +10 % weapon damage.
- The bronze coin text said a hundred bronze make a silver coin.
- The six buff runes never worked - they do now, in all five sockets.
- Heartstones are within reach again: the talent Heartstone Binding (Sorcery, level 60) teaches all three at the Thaumaturgy Bench; builders can buy them from builder level 30.
- Workbenches that hung after a second helping now finish their queue.
- Card boosters no longer roll the guaranteed rarity twice.
- Elemental weapon effects are visible again; Bronze and Nordic shields, the Market Stall, the Mailbox and about 50 items that shared an icon (dagger poisons, coatings, oils, XP potions, runes, figurines) have their own icons.
- The download is about 360 MB smaller (1.46 GB instead of 1.82 GB): unused files of the removed map parts are gone and many textures are lighter.
Inspiration becomes a card game
Boosters, 200 cards and a deck tab – plus a new look for every VAM window. Includes 0.0.17.
New
- Discoveries, kills and prayers fill five accounts – Crafting, Building, Killing, Religion and Nature
- Open boosters in five tiers and collect 200 cards from Black to Mythic
- Build your deck in the new Inspiration tab (Shift+P) – one more slot with every Ouroboros cycle
- Upgrade three copies into a rarer card, dismantle spares, seal cards into envelopes to trade or mail them

- A redesigned Shift+P window – profession shop, professions, Ouroboros page and milestone choice
- All VAM station windows in one style – auction house, mailbox, bounty board, rune anvil, clans

Fixed
- Crafting and building from nearby chests works at the normal distance again
- Moving large stacks between chests, workbenches and your inventory could duplicate items
- Recruits can no longer open the clan vault
- Typing E in the mail or search fields no longer reopens the station
