I'm sorry, but you can only access the Kama Exchange with Kama you've earned in DOFUS 2, not DOFUS Retro. So, it is not possible to buy a subscription with Kama earned in DOFUS Retro.
Are you ready to kick some spooky Pumpkwins to the cucurbit? And why not beat some color into them while you're at it? Orange turns black when bruised, doesn't it? The Fricadavera Pack and its colorable set are bringing a splash of color to Al Howin! Check it out while you can!
For the ordinary person, Al Howin means shivers, harrowing cries in the night, and terrifying monsters, all with a whiff of gloom about it (or of wet trousers – accidents happen!). But for Fricadavera, nothing could be further from the spook!
Famous for her paintings of Chafloras (Chafers, but flowery) and her frescoes of Kidos and Bwaks with brightly pigmented feathers, this young Twelvian artist brings new life to perhaps the most dismal day in the Krosmic calendar like no one else can!
This year, Fricadavera is putting her talents to work for her fellow Twelvians by offering them a set that looks, well… deadly!
The Fricadavera Pack is available in the store now for €24.99. It contains:
- a colorable Fricadavera set (Mascatrina headgear + Capel Picado cape + Rosarmadura shield + Espadeath sword),
- a colorable pet Fen Ecalavera,
- an Al Howin Haven Bag,
- a 15-day subscription,
- and 6,000 ogrines.
Buy this pack and get six Al Howin Blind Boxes free! They'll each give you one of the following items:
- a ceremonial pet Kaspur (18%),
- a pet Borbat (18%),
- a Malicious Shield (18%),
- an Ominous Helm (18%),
- an Ominous Cloak (18%),
- a ceremonial pet Eybahl (9%),
- or, if you've got Ecaflip's luck and you hit the jackpot (1%), all the items at once!
You can also get the Fricadavera set alone for €9.99 (or 10,000 OG), and the pet Fen Ecalavera for €7.99 (or 8,000 OG). Do you want to have your Pumpkwin cake and eat it? Then you'll be pleased to know the set and pet are available together in a pack for €14.99 (or €15,000 OG)!
You've got until Tuesday, November 3 to treat yourself to a dance with death…
It's as if this wretched curse will never end… Every year you have to put up with creatures that – let's face it – look pumped full of Pumpkwin… Get ready to make them mewl like ghouls: Al Howin is back!
On the program for this event:
- Grab your spades, picks, rakes, scythes, knifes, pitchforks, and whatever else you can, then use them as defensive weapons against the worst creatures that Al Howin's Vegetable Patch has in store for you. The dungeon will be reopening its gates for the entire event! Just like past years, it's where you can fight exclusive monsters. Cast that deadly spell on them and you'll taste your victory by enjoying lollies, candy kebabs, and frightfully delicious Cheweez!
- The Al Howin quests are back as well!
- Guess who else will be taking part in the fun, waiting for you near the Evil Forest to give you a s-BOO-ky look? Wearing orange and black, she'll kindle your fears. Her wonderful Malicious Hat and elegant Malicious Cloak – both of them timeless – will be yours (for a few Malician Badges, of course).
Do you want to experience the shivers to the full and take on a killer look for the occasion? Then get the Fricadavera Pack, out on Tuesday, October 20 as well!
Get ready!
For two weeks, the Inglorium battles have been the hottest thing going. After 14 qualifying rounds, the best fighters have been chosen for the final phases. Watch streams of their exploits!
With 401 teams registered, Inglorium is the biggest DOFUS tournament since the DOFUS World Series Summer 2018 edition! Yes, indeed!
The goal of all 1,434 players in each of the 2513 matches that took place in the first 14 rounds was the same – take their teams to the top 32 in order to continue the adventure in the finals!
Many teams used to high-level PVP have obviously managed to succeed at this little game. This is notably the case for Polia (1st), Band of the Hawk (2nd), Emperor (4th), Steinway Gate (7th), Omae Riktus (15th) and Outbreak (25th) to cite only the best known. Other teams, less used to the limelight, have also been impressive. Among these, we can cite Octarine (3rd), Catchana Baby (8th), Mask (11th, first English-speaking team) and Indie (14th, first Spanish-speaking team).
Here's the full lineup for the final phases:
Here's the schedule:
Some of you might be champions on these teams, but for everyone else, Twitch is waiting for you to watch the matches live starting tonight!
Tesseract will be rebroadcasting the RO16, semi-finals and final on:

For three weeks now, you've been wandering the World of Twelve across no fewer than eight single-account DOFUS Retro servers. In order to improve your gaming experience, we're planning not one, but two mergers!
Three weeks after their launch, we're ready to deploy the first single-account server merger. The first? That's right! We decided to carry out more than one merger on the single-account servers in order to provide you with the best gaming experience possible.
On Wednesday, October 21, we're carrying out this merger to form three new single-account servers:
- The Single-Account IX server will regroup servers 2, 3, 4 and 8.
- The Single-Account X server will regroup servers 1, 5, and 6.
- On the other hand, the Single-Account VII server is not affected by the merge.
After this anticipated merger, breeding, houses, paddocks, and merchant modes will not be reactivated: We will continue to monitor how the population of these three servers develops and reactivate everything if the population remains stable, or carry out another final merger and reactivate the content at that time, but we'll tell you more about that in due course.
During the merger:
- A tag indicating the original server will be added to all character and guild names after the merger. We will credit you a renaming potion for your characters and a guild renaming potion for guild leaders;
- Perceptors will not be preserved and their inventory contents will be lost, so we advise you to collect everything before maintenance on Wednesday, October 21;
- Alignment prisms will be deleted and all areas will become neutral by default;
- The contents of public inventories (bins) will be deleted;
- If an account has characters on servers A and B, and these servers are merged, then the banks from servers A and B will been pooled;
- The seniority of monsters and resources (stars) will not been kept.

Every year, for a few days before Octolliard 31, the Al Howin curse strikes the World of Twelve. It turns usually peaceful Tofus and Gobballs into frightful creatures. Beware: The curse is contagious, even to adventurers!
Since they're contagious, any unfortunate souls who fight them undergo the same transformation themselves…
Luckily, there's an item of headgear with unique properties that makes adventurers immune to the curse. This headgear is no other than the "Pumpkwin Head", which you'll find on Al Howin Tofus and Gobballs. Adventurers must therefore expose themselves to the curse at least once if they want to guard against it later on. Simply having one in your inventory is enough to protect you.
This year, the curse is returning to DOFUS Retro! It will strike the World of Twelve from Wednesday, October 21 through Wednesday, November 4. Al Howin's revenge will be dreadful indeed!

I did check myself and your payment status is still pending, so I have asked the Support department to update you on your situation after they review your case.
I know this might be a lot to ask but please give them time to look into your case and liaise with the finance department.
(Keep in mind that each time you reply to a ticket, the ticket itself goes back to the end of the queue.)
Sorry I am unable to be of further assistance to you.
A nice wingspan, dashboard with genuine Lilpiwi down, retractable feet… Falcodove: the ultimate flying machine. From Friday, October 9 through Sunday, October 11, the colorable Falcodove petsmount will be free with the purchase of any pack of 28,000 ogrines or more, not including the Master Pack. Don't miss out!
Do you know the tale of Thumbelpiwina, the Twelvian girl no taller than a Piwi who was born in a kokonut? They say that after she tended to a gigantic bird from Otomai Island, the tiny Eniripsa climbed on its back and flew all the way to Ingloriom. There she met a little god, fell madly in love with him, and lived happily after.
Thumbelpiwina may not be ready to leave her peaceful haven and come back down to this lowly world, but her bird (and others of its kind) have indeed returned to the nest. We're not sure they'll make you ascend to the higher realm of the gods – in fact, there's a good chance they'll make you feel rather small!
From Friday, October 9 through Sunday, October 11, seize the chance to hop on a Falcodove petsmount. Not only is it majestic, but it will also match your character's color. Don't let this offer fly off without you!
Did you know today was World Egg Day? No? Well, neither did we...
Today is a day to recall the major role this ovoid, a little marvel full of vitamins that has been feeding people all over the world since the dawn of time.
When we think of eggs, of course, we have in mind the cute tofu or piwi babies that come out of them... We start to salivate at the mere thought of a delicious Kwak egg omelette, as the great Gordo Mcramsay knows how to cook them so well. We are drooling at the mere thought of a basket full of Pwak chocolate eggs. And then... our mind quickly turns to these magnificent and powerful Dofus for which we are ready to do anything to get!
As you know, these dragon eggs play a major role in our adventure in the World of Twelve. We must therefore also honour them! The Primordials, the real ones, the fakes ones, and all the others: no exceptions!
To celebrate the "World the Twelve Dofus Day", we invite you to take part in a competition.

- Two runner-ups:
- 3-month subscription.
- One haven bag theme from the ones available from the DOFUS Shop.
- Paint emote.
So we invite you to create your own DOFUS, the one that you think has its place in the World of Twelve! Show us your idea by
using this template
. The contest will run until October 16 at 5 p.m. CEST.
An utterly impartial jury will select the winners, and we will announce the results on the forums and on social media within 7 days after the contest ends.

This weekend we're offering a new challenge in DOFUS Retro: Try to win the Trophy Wa Wabbit Shield by "farming" the dungeon keeper!
* The shield is obtained right at the end of the fight, only in the Wa Wabbit Dungeon. This unique item is equipped like a shield, and it doesn't grant any stats to the wearer. You can't obtain it if you already have it in your inventory.
Ankama has been including English summaries during the live streams when possible (when Djinn is around
) and, like trilkgh said, we mentioned that changes were coming to the Cania Bandits during our last Ankama Live stream. A summary of the live was posted here, but I see that the mention regarding the Cania Bandits is missing. I sincerely apologise for this; having been on annual leave, I wasn't around to double-check the content for you guys. There are no plans to change the bounty system overall for now. I would be inclined to say what you were told was a genuine misunderstanding that originated from the Cania Bandits discussion but, nevertheless, if you have links that support that claim from the French forum, I would surely be very interested in them.

A patch was deployed this morning to fix this visual bug. You should no longer have 7648738649 sidekicks by your side.
If yes, please provide a screenshot of the server selection and the account-nickname of your brother.
Experience single-account play in DOFUS Retro… starting right now!
The new single-account servers are finally open! After update 1.33 a few weeks back, now it’s time to explore the single-account experience in DOFUS Retro!
Following up on the pre-registration phase that started last month, we’re now opening not one, not two, but six servers for pre-registered players!
But latecomers have no need to worry – another server is already open for them. We’ve also got more servers set aside and ready to open as needed, depending on how things develop on the first server. Our goal is to ensure you get the best possible in-game experience!
With the rush to the single-account servers now underway, we wish you lots of fun and happy adventuring in DOFUS Retro!
Today we're talking all about bugs! What's the best way to report them? And what happens afterward? Find out here!
We do our best to fix as many bugs in DOFUS as we can. But we still need your help to find some of them.
In this section, you'll learn what information you need to correctly report a bug.
Before submitting a report, your first reflex should be to make sure your bug hasn't already been reported in the forum section for reporting bugs.
- If it has indeed been reported, consider leaving a comment on the existing thread (with any new information that might be useful).
- If the bug hasn't been reported yet, you can go ahead and report it, either in the forums or by contacting Support.
Reporting a bug in the forums
Before you report a bug:
- Try clearing your cache (this can resolve quite a few bugs). This option is available in the game settings menu, in the tab "Cache".
Only one thread per bug, and only one bug per thread! That is the golden rule of this category. This makes it much easier for us to sort through them, and for others to find and track a particular bug.
In the interest of readability, we ask that you use the format below when reporting bugs.
Keep in mind that the clearer and more detailed your report is, the more leads we'll have to help the team fix the bug in question.
- The title of your forum thread: This should be short and clear; summarize the bug in a few words. Using the label "bug" is unnecessary. Ideally, we should be able to simply read the title to understand what the bug consists of.
- Character nickname(s): The nickname of the character(s) that experienced the bug.
- Server: The server you were playing on when the bug occurred.
- Client version: 32 or 64 bits
- Date and time of the incident: The more precise this date is, the better chance we have of finding the bug and fixing it (crucial for obstructive bugs).
- Map in question: Specify the in-game location where you encountered the issue. (Coordinates can be accessed using the /mapid command in the chat.)
- Description of the bug: This should also be as complete and precise as possible. Include details about anything unusual you noticed before and after the bug.
- Steps to reproduce the bug: Explain how to reproduce your bug, point by point; in order words, write out the steps that led you to experience the bug.
- How many times you've experienced this bug in the game: One time after one attempt / one time out of several attempts / occasionally / repeatedly
- Video or screenshot attachment: A picture is worth a thousand words; a video is worth a million. To enhance your written report, try to include visual evidence of the issue. We need to see the issue from your perspective and from your POV, which is especially useful when the issue is hard to explain or reproduce.
We reserve the right to moderate, without warning, a report that doesn't follow the criteria given on this topic. You can, however, add as many details or clarifications as you like in response to your report, as long as it follows the format given above.
You can also attach screenshots or videos of the bug to your report, provided that they support your statements. An image is worth a thousand words!
A post explaining how to upload your images to the forums is available here: click here.
Below is a report template you can copy and paste to use for bug reports:
Character nickname:
Server: Date and time of the incident:
Map in question:
Description of the bug:
Steps to reproduce the bug:
How many times you've experienced this bug in the game: One time after one attempt / one time out of several attempts / occasionally / repeatedly

Reporting a bug to Support
You also have the option to report in-game technical issues directly to Ankama Support. Their website can be found here: click this link.
To supplement your feedback, if you're able to reproduce the bug without trouble, you can send a log report.
To do this, simply go into the game settings, then the "Support tab", and check "Activate generation of bug reports". The last step is to reproduce the bug and then press F11 on your keyboard. This will save a file that you can add to your Support ticket.
If you run into an issue with the Ankama Launcher, you can always retrieve logs directly through the launcher. First open the launcher settings (the button next to your nickname in the upper right corner).
Then go into the "Assistance" tab and open the log directory.
Once you've retrieved the archive, visit the Support website to create a new request. Complete the form by filling in the fields according to the directions below:
- Access the form: https://support.ankama.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
- What is your request about? Technical assistance and bugs
- Specifically… Technical issue on a PC – Report a bug
To help facilitate ticket processing, please send your message in the most appropriate category and be as specific as possible about the circumstances of the appearance of the bug.
Be sure to attach the archive you retrieved from the game to your ticket; it contains useful information for identifying the issue.
Lifecycle of a bug
Providing a specific description of the bug, along with steps to reproduce it, is essential for the issue to be resolved and seriously helps speed up the bug fix process.That said, certain bugs do take more time to be fixed; to shed some light on things that may require more time, here's a brief explanation of how this happens internally:
The bug is reported to the testing teams. They then perform checks to pinpoint the cause of the problem. If our teams are unable to reproduce the bug, there will be no way to proceed with a bug fix. That's why detailed feedback is so important.
Once the bug is identified, it will be assigned to the relevant teams to be fixed.The bug is assigned a priority level; the more it impedes gameplay, the higher the priority level.
The assigned teams then fix the bug; the amount of time this takes will depend on how complex the bus is, along with production demands.
Once a fix is found, it is first tested internally (to avoid side effects); then it will go online during weekly maintenance or as part of an update. If the bug is a major impediment, we may need to perform unscheduled maintenance to fix it. (Find out more about maintenance here).
Thank you for your feedback and happy gaming!
The DOFUS Retro single-account servers are about to open their doors to a community that's ready to invest even more in this adventure! To help these players get the most out of the new game mode, we're offering three new subscription packs!

[Talora]

Here is a message from the DOFUS producer about the latency problem:
Hello,
First, we apologize to you because we didn't talk much about the latencies found on the DOFUS 2.0 game servers, it's time to gather more information, understand what's going on and run some tests.
To be more transparent with you, latency is not linked to the high traffic of servers for this weekend, even if it amplifies the phenomenon. Everything suggests that one of the AI systems is disrupting the game servers.
We cannot fix it immediately and will need some time and a later maintenance to correct this situation.
I wish I could provide a magical solution for this weekend, but I prefer to be honest with you on this topic.
On the other hand, what I can promise is that we will reorganize this event when the playing conditions are healthier for everyone.
In addition, rest assured, the bonuses currently active on the game servers will remain active this weekend despite the increased latency of the game.

It seems like it was just yesterday, doesn't it? You remember that newly hatched little dragon egg that fascinated you so much… Sixteen years later, oh, how it's grown! To celebrate it's birthday, your MMO DOFUS is giving you a 30% discount in the Shop!
So much has happened since DOFUS cast its first spell and donned its first set. Today, more than ever, it's personality is asserting itself. Even rebelling against anything and everything. A typical teen. We've all been there, right? Or we will be soon…? One thing you can still count on is DOFUS's unique sense of humor! And that, you can be sure, isn't about to change…
DOFUS has grown and its reflection in the mirror is proof of that. But it still has many things to crack. Eggs of course, and many mysteries…
Hatched 16 years ago already, your MMO DOFUS has decided to celebrate it's sweet sixteenth by giving you a great deal! Starting today and through Sunday, September 27, take advantage of a 30% discount in the online and in-game shops!*
Don't miss out!
Uh…? Yes! DOFUS wants us to remind you, in its most grown-up voice, that Friday, September 25 at 4:00 p.m. (Paris time) through Monday, September 28 at 9:00 a.m. will also be a double-XP weekend for combat and professions during which dungeons will be accessible without limits. This goes for DOFUS and for DOFUS Retro!
TIme to celebrate!
*Offer does not apply to subscriptions and ogrine packs. Offer is only valid for DOFUS, not for DOFUS Retro.
The Ankama Live is now over, and lots of new information has been revealed! Learn about all kinds of great stuff on the way, including single-account servers for Retro, Pandala part 2, update 1.33, and of course Dofus Unity…
DOFUS
We're celebrating another DOFUS anniversary, and this year we're going back to a more traditional format:
We won't be repeating the 15th anniversary event, but we aren't ruling out the possibility of bringing you back to Ankama virtually someday.
In-game, you'll get double combat and profession XP on all game servers and unlimited dungeon access, all weekend long. In Retro too!
Also, as a special treat, there's a gift waiting for you in DOFUS 2.0 – a pet. To collect it, just talk to the relevant NPC.
We didn't want to do double XP for the launch of the single-account servers, so that's why we'll be doing it on the weekend of September 25.
SINGLE-ACCOUNT SERVERS FOR RETRO
First of all, we want to thank the 45,000 players who have pre-registered. You'll need to be subscribed in order to access Retro.
Besides these six servers, there will be other game servers coming out so that everyone can join the party.
A specific leaderboard will be set up so you can track your progress.
When there are lots of servers, there's always a moment when we have to merge them. The last time, we didn't have any technical tools to do this merge, but we have one now. We'll be able to initiate this process whenever it becomes necessary.
Mergers are done when we get to a point where the population on the various servers allows us to combine all the players onto one server. You can expect this merger to result in multiple merged servers.
As with the launch of Retro, it won't be possible to buy houses or paddocks or to do any breeding until the merger.
The launch will take place on September 30.
It's possible to connect with 2 accounts from the same IP. Yes, we're aware that in some cases, the same person will be playing with both accounts. But the impact of this will be minimal.
More generally, the experience will be much cleaner, and this is why we've decided to restrict character creation. When we first launch, though, you may find yourself waiting in a queue, but that should clear up very quickly.
This will also significantly reduce the number of bots in the game.

RETRO 1.33
This update adds lots of new stuff in the game, mainly bug fixes and improvements to the in-game experience. A few changes to Remastered. We're trying to learn more about what the community wants to see so that we can make changes.
Version 1.33.1 will be coming next week. Just an FYI, it won't be deployed in this update, but auto-connect in the launcher will be coming very soon. So you can connect directly with multiple accounts. We'll also be adding various items in Retro like the Witter Beanie, the Twit Shield and the T'Youb Cloak.
A reminder about the surveys: they help us to better understand what you want to see, but they're just another piece of information that we consider and don't dictate our decision on their own.
We asked for your feedback on Petsmounts, and we decided to show the results live. We consistently clean up the results for all of our surveys. So no problem on that front.
Version 1.34 is coming at the end of this year, with two new Dofus and two new dungeons. This content will be present in the game files that we'll unlock.
PANDALA
Our overhaul of Pandala Island isn't done yet! We're adding two new areas on Nolifis Island, two dungeons and new monster families. We've added some new maps in Akwadala, for example, for farming and for quests.
The Pandala overhaul is related to the Eliocalypse: what players are seeing in Dofus are the consequences of the Eliocalypse for the World of Twelve at the time.
DOFUS UNITY
Unity is a 3D engine for the game to run in. We're making this change in technology because we're coming up to the limit of what Flash can do.
The 3D version that you've seen is only intended as a prototype. We're just using it to test various elements, mechanics and so on. It's really like a workshop or lab, and we just wanted to put out this video to see your reactions. We also wanted to share some good news with you.
As for Dofus 2, we announced a port of the current game, with all of your characters, equipment, all the same gameplay… but using the Unity game engine. The in-game experience and stability will both be improved. More lively NPCs, more immersive backgrounds. We'll refer you to the article that was posted on Friday for more details.
Questions and Answers:
At what time will the DOFUS Retro single-account servers be opening?
We'll let you know the specific time as soon as we can, as we approach the launch date.
What's up with balancing?
There's no balancing in this next update. We had to prioritize other content. We're planning to do some bug fixes for the classes in the end-of-year update.
What about dual-account in Retro?
We're allowing 2 devices to connect from the same IP, but playing with both accounts at the same time is not allowed.
Any chance of a transfer from Jahash to Ilyzaelle?
No, our policy hasn't changed at this time.
AvA overhaul?
Unfortunately, this won't be done in 2020. We wanted to take the time needed to do things right.
Why aren't the actions that you're taking against bots on Retro being deployed everywhere?
We're not ruling out the option of extending our strategy to our other games if this first experiment goes well.
We're planning to put out an update with no new content at the start of next year, in which we'll be focusing exclusively on bug fixes in all the different aspects of the game: integration, graphics and animations.
Thank you for your report!
The mist-shrouded Nolifis Island will soon be accepting visitors. Its phantoms are getting ready to open up their tombs. Know the only way to get out of the cursed island alive? Simply don't set foot there… Otherwise, pick up one of the new subscription packs to blend in with the crowd!
You were knocked off your feet by Pandala Awakens. Well, don't bother getting back up just yet. The ghosts of Nolifis Island, the Pandalans' ancestral cemetery, didn't enjoy being so rudely awakened from their final rest… You're in for it now!
Your safe return now depends on whether you can overcome your fear of ghosts! The Samuralive set, available in three versions, the Pandawarai pet, and the Samurai emote will be of great help to you. You can find them in the new subscription packs:
- 3-Month Pack: the Samurai emote
- 6-Month Pack: the Samurai emote + a pet Pandawarai
- 1-Year Pack: the Samurai emote + a pet Pandawarai + the Samuralive set
- Master Pack: the Samurai emote + a pet Pandawarai + the Samuralive set
We are aware there are existing stuck on loading and repair loop issues, keeping players randomly from entering the game. So far our team has not been able to pinpoint the source of the issue and there is no reliable solution available.
You can try:
- Reinstalling the Launcher and consulting our Launcher FAQ page.
- Installing the game from the .zip file and start directly.
- Keep trying to connect at different times and days.
And please, do not resurrect old and wrinkly threads. They would like to rest in peace
