Premium Inventory Slots Are Back – Starting April 23rd!



Greetings adventurers,

We’re excited to announce that Premium Inventory Slots are making their return to Argentum Online — and the patch goes live on April 23rd!

What are Premium Slots?
These are extra rows in your character’s inventory unlocked through an active Patreon subscription. Depending on your tier, you’ll gain more space for loot, resources, and rare items:

Aventurero: +1 extra row
Héroe: +2 extra rows
Leyenda: +3 extra rows

Important – Please Read Carefully
Starting April 23rd, if you reduce or cancel your subscription, you will lose access to the premium rows that don’t match your current tier.
Any items stored in inaccessible rows will be automatically deleted when you log in to the game.

To help you manage this:
- Characters with items in premium-only slots will now receive in-game alerts in MAO.
- You can always check your current subscription tier from the 'My Account' section on our website.

To avoid losing important items, please verify your subscription status before entering the game.

Thank you for supporting AO — your contributions help us grow and keep the world alive!

(End of Chapter II)

“The last ray of sunlight hides in the distance as new lights grow in the city, houses light their lamps, and fires surround the central square of Ullathorpe.

The anxious gaze of Robert, the governor, scans the crowd. Dozens of citizens gather, eager to see the adventurers, who carry overflowing backpacks on their backs. Who will be the next protectors of the Catacombs?”

(Chapter II)

In the center of Ullathorpe, east of the fountain, among the stones stands Robert, the governor. The town has been in a state of flux in recent weeks, as new and old faces gather again. Urging his advisors who were arguing with the crowd and quickly calling for silence, he exclaimed:

"Citizens of Ullathorpe! It is no longer a surprise what is happening in our fair town. The construction of the new tavern "The Black Wolf" led by Thorgin has awakened dark creatures that now fill the tunnels beneath our feet. Worse news is coming, and we must take action.[/i]

The few survivors who returned from the depths informed us that the door containing the most powerful arachnids has been breached; Othran of the Woods, our local sorcerer, has created a portal to enter the tunnels and confront this new threat.[/i]

As an emergency measure, he called on the lone adventurers and clans of the Argentum Lands to prevent the spread of This invasive species. We must delve into the depths of the catacombs and eliminate the arachnid advance!

Those outstanding winners will be heavily rewarded."

🔷Objective: Eliminate the Huntsman Spiders on the second floor of the Catacombs and collect their drops.

🔷Reward: The two solo adventurers and the Clan that collect the most "Arachnid Oothecas" will be rewarded with 1 Catacomb Key.

🔷Recommended Level: From level 15 to level 24 inclusive.

🔷Event Start: Friday, April 4, 2025, 10:00 PM

🔷Duration: 7 days

Assassin Class (PVE)
- When Backstabbing an NPC, the damage modifier now varies between 1.6 and 1.9 (previously the modifier was a fixed 1.35)

Balance Changes:
1) Evasion has been changed for the following classes:
- WARRIOR to 0.9 (1 >> 0.9)
- HUNTER to 0.7 (0.9 >> 0.7)
- PALADIN to 0.7 (0.85 >> 0.7)
- BANDIT to 0.7 (0.75 >> 0.7)
- ASSASSIN to 1 (0.95 >> 1)
- CLERIC to 0.65 (0.8 >> 0.65)
- BARD to 1.1 (1.2 >> 1.1)
- WORKER to 0.55 (0.6 >> 0.55)

2) The Shields mod for the following classes has been modified:

- BARD to 0.7 (0.8 >> 0.7)
- WORKER to 0.75 (0.6 >> 0.75)

- All Evasion + Shield values ​​for classes in the game have been recalculated, as it was found that with 100 skills the average success rate did not exceed 30% (warrior), reaching its lowest point of approximately 7% (cleric). This was creating frustrating gameplay for all classes.

- BARD to 0.85 (0.75 >> 0.85)
- DRUID to 0.7 (0.65 >> 0.7)

- BARD to 0.45 (0.4 >> 0.45)
- MAGE to 0.25 (0.4 >> 0.25)
