Turbine Announcements
This was the elemental invasion patch. All landscape creatures were medium to high level elementals. Many regard this one as one of the worst in AC history. Outdoor hunting was extremely difficult for any new players.

- Gaerlan attempts to raise the Harbinger using Nuhmudira as a vessel but fails due to her prior escape. The energy from the failed summoning destroys the town of Yanshi. Meanwhile Borelean goes to Martine and convinces him to save Asheron.
Discoveries
Town Crier Rumors
- Town Crier tells you, "You MUST use an UST when to Tinker you LUS... oh forget it, I can't say that anymore!"
- Town Crier tells you, "My cousin said that Martine has gone missing. This can't be good."
- Town Crier tells you, "I am trying to stay hopeful, but Asheron is still missing. What if it's true? What if Asheron is...dead?"
- Town Crier tells you, "Yanshi has been destroyed! We must rally our forces to exact vengeance on Gaerlan!"
- Town Crier tells you, "I heard the town of Yansh is a smoking ruin! I hope the people are okay."
- Town Crier tells you, "The Arcanum has built new Residential Quarters. Give me some money and I may tell where they are."
- Town Crier tells you, "My sister, a powerful War Mage, showed me a new spell she learned. She was able to send it arcing over a hill without being in sight of the target! That shreth never knew what hit it."
- Town Crier tells you, "Is that an Elemental monster on your back or are you just glowing from happiness? Hey, that was real funny last month but now they are EVERYWHERE! Help!"
- Town Crier tells you, "Available in most towns. (They pay me to say that too. And you thought the old jingle was bad...)"
- Town Crier tells you, "I am proud of our fellow Isparians driving back Gaerlan's Elemental invasions of the towns. But now his forces are all over the countryside!"
- Town Crier tells you, "Gaerlan's Citadel is still on the move! It is high over the mountains in northern Osteth. It still seems to be heading towards Crater Village!"
- Town Crier tells you, "Things have been too quiet since Yanshi was leveled. What does this mean?"
- Town Crier tells you, "I can Tinker weapons now! Fear my mighty sword, Gaerlan!"
- Town Crier tells you, "I saw a warrior wearing upper leg armor! What a great invention! She said the name for the armor was "Tassets". Funny name, I thought, but I'm going to get me a set!"
- Town Crier tells you, "I am trying to stay hopeful, but Asheron is still missing. What if it's true? What if Asheron is...dead?"
- Town Crier tells you, "Gaerlan's Citadel seems to be on a course to the southwest. Though the Arcanum is still speculating that it is heading to the Crater, what if it is not?"
- Town Crier tells you, "Martine left in the early evening or so I have been told. Supposedly he didn't say anything to his followers before he left. I sure hope he didn't find where Asheron was hiding."
- Town Crier tells you, "Hey, here's a tip. You can Tinker weapons now! All sorts of weapons. Yay!"
- Town Crier tells you, "Hey, if you have any Hollow weapons, you might find they are more powerful. And try applying Bloodhunter Oil..."
- Town Crier tells you, "The greatest things come to those who wait. But not too long."
- Town Crier tells you, "I understand that the Direlands and the islands are safe from the Elemental invasion. Well, they're not SAFE, but you know what I mean..."
- Town Crier tells you, "Psst, someone said they used Bloodhunter Oil to make their weapon go right through whatever armor their foe was wearing. They said their weapon was a "Phantom Weapon" now. If you're a monster wearing armor, be afraid!"
- Town Crier tells you, "The Arcanum has built new Residential Quarters. They are accessible from Mayoi, Plateau Village and Khayyaban."
- Town Crier tells you, "Psst! I heard one of the people in Yanshi never was resurrected at the Lifestone. That is a scary thought."
- Town Crier tells you, "I heard that people have been finding some new armor called "Covenant Armor". The rumor goes that it is available in many colors. It appears to be Lugian in origin."
- Town Crier tells you, "I hear tell that Nuhmudira has been seen wandering near the Arcanum, how could she have gotten free?"
Yanshi Town Crier:
- Town Crier tells you, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-AAAAGH! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"
- Town Crier tells you, "The horror! The horror!"
- Town Crier tells you, "AAAAAAAAGH! AAAAAAAAGH! AAAAAAAAGH! AAAAAAAAGH! AAAAAAAAGH!"
- Town Crier tells you, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"
- Town Crier tells you, "First Arwic, now us!"
- Town Crier tells you, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"
- Town Crier tells you, "They fled up the road! Now we are all living in tents!"
- Town Crier tells you, "Did you hear Jeweler Xao Wu never came back from the Lifestone? What could have happened?"
- You give Town Crier Pyreal.
- Town Crier tells you, "I appreciate the contribution! We definitely need it now."
Ulgrim Rumors
- Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I was tired of having to run over hills just to kill a creature so I created the Arcing Spells. Now everyone is using them and nobody is giving me any credit! I think I deserve the title Archmage at least."
- Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Ulgrim the Archmage, Master of Time and Space, Leader of the Virindi Resistance, Master Tinkerer, Seer of Truths, Master of the Jewelry, Peppermint Cook, Celebrations Advisor to the Queen. Yes, that fits nicely with my other titles."
- Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I imbued my sword. I bet it would do some nasty damage if I could lift it."
- Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "It's also a rather nice nightlight."
- Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I think Gaerlan's Citadel is heading this way. He must have heard of my prowess and now he's coming to challenge me. Do me a favor and warn me if you see his Citadel on the horizon so that I can... prepare."
- Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Another town lost, elementals taking over everywhere, what's with this world anyway?"
- Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "We should all move to the underground cities and wait for this thing to blow over."
- Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I hear people have seen Nuhmudira near the Arcanum. If she's really back then she's one tough woman. Yup..."
- Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Hope she isn't still sore about that whole death lever thing."
- Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Seems to me that the monsters of Dereth have started some sort of black market for their stolen goods. The other day I found some Covenant Armor on a Banderling. Perhaps they have been stealing items from the Arcanum after all."
