Realmers!
It is time for the next update for Realm of the Mad God. This time introducing the first iteration of our newest feature: The Crucible Mode! Test your limits without the help of your trusted pet. Our newest Pet Stone will surely assist you well.
The first version of the Oryxmania Event was hosted a while back. Now its returning with a new easier O3 fight! Additionally, you will find several Moonlight Village adjustments below.
Crucible Mode
You were able to test The Crucible some weeks ago during our Testing session! Now it’s time to take part in the inaugural iteration of this new feature. But first, let us explain what The Crucible actually is. Please keep in mind that we will adjust and improve the feature in the future with more restrictions, more Trials, and more rewards!
What is the Crucible?
The Crucible is an optional mode that offers you a series of challenging Trials with specific restrictions. Once you accept the challenge, your gaming experience will become more demanding. Each Crucible will have its own set of modifiers and rewards.
The Trials are specifically designed for the most skilled and daring players. Both seasonal & regular characters can participate in The Crucible.
What is a Trial?
The Crucible consists of a series of ‘Trials’ – challenging objectives that you must complete. Conquer all the Trials in a Crucible to earn special rewards and bragging rights.
Meet the Guardian of The Crucible!
A new NPC has taken residence in the Nexus – The Guardian of the Crucible! Players can visit the Guardian to accept (or opt out of) the available Trials. All characters are eligible to take on the Trials, so no one gets left behind!
Crucible Character
Once you accept the Crucible, your character’s sprite in the Char UI will have a yellow border. This is how you can distinguish your characters!
The Crucible Duration
To keep the adventure fresh and exciting, the Crucible will vary in duration. Some will be available for an entire season, while others will run during shorter events, providing quicker new trials.
Crucible Mode Event
The first version of The Crucible will take care of your pet! Ever wondered how useful a pet stone can be? He might not bring the best stats but he tries his best to assist you. For this challenge, your Pet will be replaced by a Pet Rock without any stats. So no more healing for you. The event runs from the 5th of September until the 26th of September.
For this specific Crucible restriction, players will receive an additional 20% BXP increase while this Crucible is active.
When using a Crucible character, you will be able to drop certain tokens, used to redeem items at the Tinkerer. The quests will depend on the week.
Your goal during these 3 weeks will be to beat the Marble Colossus, the Void Entity, the Factory Control Core, the Forgotten King and O3. During the third week, you will be able to fight all Bosses and gain Tokens.

Oryxmania II
In another fit of drunken nostalgia, Oryx once again started reliving his gladiator days. Unfortunately, this time he could also remember the championship he organized the year prior. While it was his idea, now he was envious of the champions. Why should they have all of the fun? So he decided to dust off his gladiator armor and jump into the arena himself. He has organized a championship and opened the doors for the brave, Since fighting everyone would be a waste of time, only those with the skill and perseverance to fight through two of his champions, are allowed to approach Oryx. Are you one of them?
The second Oryxmania Event lasts three weeks and reintroduces the Arena champions we all loved from last year, but this time, in Oryxmania Rumble! The Event runs from the 5-Sep until the 26-Sep.
Compared to last year, after defeating a champion you will now have the choice to either go to a Treasure Room where you can get your event tokens or have the chance to progress to a different arena. Should you manage to finish that one, you once again can decide between going for the Treasure Room or go on and fight in the last arena against Gladiator Oryx (an easier reskinned version of O3).
You are able to access the Oryxmania Rumble through portals provided by the Arena Announcer and portals dropping in the champion’s respective dungeons. Additionally, a key to the Rumble is in the shop. You will gather “Oryxmania Cheers” as the event token and will be able to exchange them at the Tinkerer for rewards.
Realm Encounter
After the Cyclops Gods have been defeated and after the Ent Ancients and Liches have been slain, Keyper will spawn in his role as the Arena Announcer. He is going to drop four mysterious Arena portals. You will not know which Arena you are entering until you have loaded into it. This arena will be the first of 3 Waves in the Oryxmania Rumble, whichever Arena you get as first, will be guaranteed to not be in the second wave.
Dungeons
The Oryxmania Rumble sends you to a random Arena.
- Backstage Arena – You will face the gladiatorial persona of the Puppet Master.
- Pirate Arena – Calamity Crab will be your enemy in this arena.
- Underwater Arena – You will face Thessal.
- Jungle Arena – Xolotl will bring the thunder to you.
During the Event, the following dungeons will give 1.5x Loot and XP. Additionally, a dungeon mod will be active which will send you to their specific arena from the Oryxmania Rumble.
- Ocean Trench,
- Deadwater Docks
- Secluded Thicket
- Puppet Master’s Encore
The bosses have a chance to drop their specific pet skin:
