Usability and improvements:
- The shortcut bar no longer transitions to "spells" mode while entering the preparation phase. This now happens when the fight starts, making its items easier to use/equip during the preparation phase.
Non-combat fixes:
- To reduce the tensions that can arise when houses go up for sale during the first maintenance periods of the month, the "Abandoned house" status is no longer displayed.
- The summary of experience/kamas etc. earned from the last fight in the information chat is no longer displayed at the end of a fight in spectator mode.
- Fixed a bug that could select the wrong item under certain conditions by using right click in the inventory.
Can you confirm that the Lost in Time quest still shows up as complete in your log? If it is, you should normally have access to the zaap. If I'm not mistaken, the NPC that gives you this quest, Crokalcrolak, should not be in Astrub after the quest is complete, so you should not be able to talk to him there anymore. What happens when you interact with him?
Thanks in advance.
Due to some technical issues, the Gladiatrool arena will close its doors until the next DOFUS Retro maintenance.
We apologize for the inconvenience and will keep you updated on the situation.
Thank you for your understanding.
If possible, can you try and connect to another server on the times when you have lag on Tal Kasha to see if it's only connected to the server or if it's a generalized issue?
Thanks in advance!
Many of you asked for it, and now the team has delivered: Expedition mode is finally on its way! On the menu for this patch: new environments, new challenges and a whole new way to play! Yeah, it's kind of a big deal.
Expedition Mode for Ninnies
After pulverizing more gobballs, plisskens and chafers than you can count, you finally feel ready to step through the zaap and open the door to a new challenge. And what a challenge it is!
In this game mode, you'll start with a deck of 7 cards drawn randomly in the form of a draft. More specifically, you'll be presented with a set of 5 cards from which you'll choose 3. You'll then see another set of 5 cards from which you'll pick 2, then repeat that step once more to bring you up to seven cards.
But beware: You'll need to have bought the card in classic mode to unlock it in expedition mode. If you haven't, the card will still be presented to you in the draft phase, but you won't be able to select it for inclusion in your expedition deck.
Once the draft phase is over, the battle can begin!
There will be four levels to progress through, two of which are completely exclusive:
- Strawmerry Fields
- Mountains
- Cemetery
- Crypts
The difficulty will increase from one level to the next, thanks to enemies with increasingly complex and aggressive mechanics. Every time you win a fight, you'll be asked to choose one of two new cards to add to your deck, along with some resource rewards (runes, kamas, etc.).
Ecaflip chests give you a way to obtain a new currency specific to expedition mode: tokens. They can be used with wandering merchants to buy or dispose of cards. There are no card upgrades in this mode!
If you die, you'll still earn kamas and XP based on your progress in the expedition. Your cards and tokens will be lost, however. If you start a new expedition, you'll have to start over from scratch!
Sounds awesome! But how do I unlock expedition mode?
You'll gain access to this new game mode after beating the boss of the cemetery level (Level 2) in the classic game mode. Easy-peasy!
We can't wait to hear what you think of this patch! And, as always, feel free to contact us on Discord by clicking HERE.
Can you tell me how long this lag lasts for?
Do you also experience lags around 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.? It is normal to experience lags around these times due to regularly scheduled server backups.
If you can give us more info as well, such as your internet access provider, that would be very useful.
I also invite you to try to connect on other servers during those lag times to see if the issue is localized to TalKasha only.
Thanks in advance!

Since 2018, the Krosmoz Tournaments Arena (KTA) has come after the DOFUS World Series (DWS). In 2023, you'll get a new system, with a kind of return to basics!
2021 featured a cash prize of over €40,000, tournaments with over 2,000 players, and the first LAN event for the DOFUS Masters final at ESpot Paris. 2022 saw the participation of streamers Sapeuh, Huz, Humility, and Tarkan, the DOFUS World Cup final as an opener for the KrosmoNote at Espot Paris, and the DOFUS Masters final at Solary. The KTA has thrilled you more than ever these last few years, and it's sure to continue with the upcoming schedule for 2023! Sharpen your blades, because Season 7 of the DOFUS eSports circuit is about to begin…
A New, Clearer Schedule
The KTA used to be criticized for being overloaded or complicated. Having tournaments in quick succession, it was sometimes hard to get your bearings and follow everything. In 2023, there will be a new system that streamlines the schedule and makes things clearer! Without further ado, let's look at the timetable…
The system is based on qualifying tournaments (also known as qualifiers), which determine the teams to then take part in championships (Silver and DOFUS Championships), capped off with a grand DOFUS World Cup and the DOFUS Masters to end the year. You may notice that inspiration was taken from the DWS, with a completed version of that schedule to offer everyone a complete year! And of course, all tournaments will be played in draft format.
Let's get into the details of each event:
Two editions of the DOFUS qualifier will take place throughout the year, with one ultimate goal: to be one of the few top teams and qualify for the championship!
The first qualifier in 2023, which you can register for now, offers two places in the DOFUS Championship and six places in the Silver Championship.
The DOFUS Championship is the first division in DOFUS eSports. Reserved for the top 8 teams, with two editions per season, being included will put you in the spotlight and make you a PvP star! Not to mention the chance to score prizes, including a cash prize in the thousands…
The Silver Championship is the second division, just a step away from the best of the best. Consisting of only 10 teams and taking place twice a year, it's a challenge just to enter this competition – but the reward is being in an ideal place to advance and then aim for the highest rank!
The DOFUS World Cup is the biggest event of the year, open to anyone who wants to take part. With a huge cash prize and the chance to rub shoulders with the best DOFUS players, it's the annual PvP event you don't want to miss! The 2023 World Cup will be happening earlier than previous seasons, this time between May and June.
Finally, like every year, the 2023 DOFUS eSports cycle will conclude with the DOFUS Masters. This competition brings together the top 16 teams of the season for a great show to be livestreamed throughout November… and you may just be in the lineup if you do well!
Obviously we can't provide all the conditions of every event in this article alone. For more details, head to the KTA website!
Most importantly, registration for the first DOFUS qualifier is already open, and that means you too can sign up! You have until February 17 to enter the arena.
A Tournament Server for All, All the Time
Here's a detail not widely known: the tournament server, where you have access to 19 game classes at level 200 and all equipment, is semi-permanently accessible to all players, with no conditions! Simply create an account on the KTA website and request access: follow the very simple procedure described on this page!
Streaming
The KTA is also happening on Twitch! Got a channel and want to stream the KTA? KTA is happy to help! Drop in to the KTA Discord server and contact one of the "Head Staff" to make your request.
Social Media
As always, we encourage you to follow the KTA on their socials to keep up with their news and announcements!
- Twitter: This is where you'll find all DOFUS eSports news.
- Discord: If you're entering a tournament, it's highly recommended that you join the server, as many announcements are made there.
- Twitch: KTV streams the biggest matches throughout the year.
- YouTube: All replays of the matches are available here.
- Official website: Rules, registration, tournament results, and more – everything you need to know about DOFUS eSports is on the KTA website!
The maintenance is over and the servers are back online.
Thank you all for your patience, and happy gaming ! <3
We will let you know once the servers are back online.
Thanks for your patience!
Thank you for your understanding.
The DOFUS weekly maintenance will take place on Tuesday, January 31, at 8:00 a.m. CET.
When the maintenance is over, we will inform you as a reply to this forum topic and via our official Twitter account.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
If you want to know more about server maintenances in general, please read this article.
As was already mentionned by a helpful player (thank you Roumo!), only support can investigate and handle ban or sanction-related requests. I can only ask you to remain patient in the meantime, while support gets to your request!
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
I am sorry to hear that. I've reported the issue to the game team so they can look into it and I will come back to you with more information as soon as I can!
Thank you for your patience.
Can you please let me know, does the lag happen every day around midnight? Or only on specific days or with specific instances?
In any case, I have reported the issue to the team so they can look into it, but any additional details that could help us are welcome!
Thanks in advance.
Unfortunately, there is currently no Russian translation for DOFUS.
I apologize for this inconvenience.
I hope you can still enjoy the game nonetheless!
Have a great day and happy gaming
I understand your frustration in this situation.
However, I cannot give you a different answer or assist you in a different way than what support has already provided. This is unfortunate but only support will be able to provide further assistance in this problem.
Thank you for your understanding.
I have escalated the issue for fixing.
I thank you for your understanding and patience in the meantime!
I have escalated it to the game team for fixing.
In the meantime, I thank you for your patience and understanding.
Does this happen after every maintenance or only sometimes?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.
And can you give me more details about the character (name, class, server) so I can have a look?
Thanks in advance!
What? Again?! What else is there to learn about the new areas and the Forgelances? Not all that much, it's true… But as for the Lance Dur animated series, various behind-the-scenes developments and works in progress, and the end of Klimti Swood's story, we've still got a few tidbits to share! Plus, this is also your chance to share your impressions of the recent updates.
DOFUS, DOFUS Touch and WAKFU all wrapped up the year with some major additions. So now that they've been out there for a few weeks, what do you think? Have you discovered everything, explored everything, and collected everything? How did you like it? Tell us in the comments below!
The animated series "The Last Adventure of Count Lance Dur" will soon be available in France, and depending on the purchase of broadcast rights by local distributors, we hope it will be appearing in other countries as well.
In the last episode…
- DOFUS and DOFUS Touch revealed lush designs and tentacled sketches of the island of Ephedyra.
- WAKFU released the main NPC and a whole monster family from their Ocean Prison.
- The Lance Dur animated series hauled up creatures and background art from the depths of the sea.
And last but not least…
Klimti, Fergus and Reska sailed for Ereboria to try and save Dayd from the unstoppable Cire Momore. Out at sea, the Forgelance saw a frightening humanoid creature emerge from the abyss. Moments later, the crew was hit by a violent storm. So violent, in fact, that it smashed their ship up on an island beach – but they emerged safe and sound from the crash. In his rush to find some trace of his brother, Klimti hurried off to scout the place out as soon as he regained consciousness…
Background: The Rescue
By now, not even the tiniest bit of blue sky could be seen overhead – only leaves, brambles, trees and plants. Klimti had started out on what looked like a path, but in his haste, he hadn't noticed the moss and vegetation closing in around him until he was completely surrounded by it. He felt like an insect caught in an arachnee web. The more he struggled to move forward, the thicker the undergrowth became. With each step he took, the brambles scratched new wounds into his skin. His arms were scraped raw. The pain was unbearable. Each prick from a thorn felt like a blade carving into his flesh.
"RRRAAAA!"
Swood let out a roar of rage and frustration. He drew his lance and focused his anger into a fiery blast of Burning Estoc. He boosted his range and healed his wounds with an Oriflamme spell before pausing to gather his strength. Then he fired off a Torch Lancer to continue clearing the undergrowth so he could finally just… breathe.
"We should have followed Mr. Swood," fretted the Enutrof, his eyes riveted on the dense forest, looking out for even the slightest sign of his presence.
Abandoned on the beach among various rocks laid bare by the tide, he and his feline companion searched for crabs and clams in hopes of scraping together some dinner.
"Don't worry, Fergus, he's a big boy! Why do you always feel the need to be his chaperone?"
"He's a good boy, Reska! He fights for the people he cares about…"
"He's fighting in vain! And you know it. That's why you're protecting him… But you're only delaying the moment when he'll have to face reality."
"He'll face reality when he comes face to face with Cire Momore. And so will you…"
The green-eyed Ecaflip with the thick black fur stopped scratching at the wet sand in search of shells for just a moment. Fergus gave her a friendly pat on the back before returning his attention to the task at hand, peering carefully into the narrow gaps between rocks. He didn't notice the crab that skittered away behind him to escape.
Nor the massive foot that suddenly crushed it flat…
Not far off, birds chirped and trees swayed gently in the wind in a quiet meadow with a thick wall of brambles along one side. Suddenly, a golden spike pierced the vegetation, glowed brightly and consumed everything around it in a perfect ring!
A tousle-headed Forgelance, out of breath and covered with cauterized scratches, stumbled out through the opening. He instinctively raised his hands to the sky he'd missed so dearly, then closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened them again, he saw what looked like an ancient palace just ahead. At first glance, he couldn't tell if the building had been abandoned, but in any case, nature seemed to be doing its best to reclaim it, with huge climbing plants and tentacle-like vines clinging tightly to every surface.
"Dayd! DAYD, ARE YOU IN THERE?"
The only answer was an echo and the flutter of a startled flock of birds. Klimti Swood slung his lance over his back and made his way down a stone path leading to a high gate. Its ironwork was filled with floral designs. As he raised his hand to push open the gate, he was startled by the sound of a little girl's voice:
"You won't find your friend here."
"Aaah!"
He spun around to see a young Xelor sitting on the head of a large statue and casually kicking her feet.
"Who are you? And how did you know I was looking for someone?"
"I'm Phyllis. And you were yelling his name just a second ago."
"What are you doing here all alone? And what makes you think that my brother's not here?"
"Whoa, whoa… Who said I was here all alone? So it's your brother, then…"
The Forgelance sighed and prepared once again to enter the palace.
"Stop!"
The Xelor girl hopped down from her perch and walked towards him.
"If you go in there, you'll run into a lot more trouble than you've had up to now."
"You have no idea what I've been through…"
"Meeting the Armor and coming out of it alive would be more than most people could hope for."
"Wait a second, I… WHO THE F**K ARE YOU, ANYWAY?!"
"Just a kid," she replied, rocking back and forth on her heels with her hands behind her back and flashing a friendly smile.
"Well, you're freaking me out, 'kid'. What are you, the demon of the forest or something?"
"Sounds like you've been reading too many horror parchments."
"I might not look like it, but I'm a civilized man. I read books."
"Never heard of 'em."
"It's a bunch of sheets of paper all stacked up together and… Wait, what am I doing here? Why am I talking to a ten-year-old girl?!"
"I'm only nine!"
"Grrr…!"
He went in.
Despite the palace's abandoned appearance, its entrance hall was still quite impressive. Klimti paused for a moment to contemplate the height of the ceiling, the tapestries, the rug stretching the length of the vast floor, and the flowers everywhere he looked.
"Believe me, you ain't seen nothin' yet!" called Phyllis from under her hat and bandages.
"DAYD?!"
"Seriously, why don't you believe me? I'm telling you, he's not here. He's not even on this island…"
"What?!"
"I mean, you're on Ephedrya, right? Everyone knows it but you, it's getting a bit embarrassing…"
"Then I can't waste time here, I've got to go save him!" Klimti shouted as he turned to go back.
"I don't know if you can still save him… but there's still a chance for your friends that you ditched on the beach like an old pair of socks."
"They're not my… That is… Look, they weren't in any danger, and… OH, SH**! How do you know all that?!"
But when Swood turned around to face her, the girl had disappeared.
He stood there bewildered for a moment, then turned to leave again, when "AHH!" There she was in front of him.
"I'm not a ghost, you know…" she teased.
"If you keep this up, that can definitely be arranged…"
The Forgelance rushed out through the gate and ran to the hole he'd made in the wall of vegetation. Before going in, he looked back one last time at the girl, who'd stopped on the stone steps. Phyllis waved to him with a broad smile. Klimti groaned.
"I hope I never see you again!" he shouted.
"I know!" she answered, then stuck out her tongue.
At that, Klimti finally cracked a smile. Then he disappeared into the brambles.
Klimti charged out of the forest and hurried to the beach.
"Fergus! Reska!"
There was no one at the boat. He saw footprints in the sand… some of which looked like they'd been made by a giant. There'd been a fight here. Klimti ran faster down to the edge of the bay. Before him, a trail of bent and broken kokonut trees led into a wood. Swood followed it, emerged onto a different beach, and there he finally saw them… A golem of stones and leaves was swinging its immense axe down at Reska!
The dark feline, who was down on all fours, jumped aside to avoid the blow. She bared her teeth and hissed at her attacker.
"HEY!" shouted Swood to distract the golem.
The stone giant turned towards him, giving Reska an opening to leap in the air and give it a quick pair of kicks to the back, knocking it helmet-first into the sand. Klimti ran a few strides towards the golem as it tried to get up, then planted the point of his lance in the base of his enemy's neck with a sickening crack and pole-vaulted over the great mass of rocks and vegetation to land at Reska's feet.
"You all right?"
"Took you long enough!" shot back the Ecaflip as she wiped her mouth on the back of her sleeve. "Oh, and you left your lance sticking out of that big hunk of clay…"
The golem had just managed to wobble to its feet.
"I know."
Without taking his eyes off of Reska, the Forgelance reached out his hand towards his weapon, which flew back into his grip as though pulled by a magnet. Along the way, it popped the giant's head off with a sharp crack, leaving its body to collapse in a heap.
"Where's Fergus?"
The Ecaflip cast her emerald gaze to one side to point the way. Swood turned around and saw his friend lying motionless on the sand nearby. He hurried to his side.
"Fergus ! "
The blacksmith was out cold. Blood trickled from his mouth and from a wound over one of his eyes. Klimti shook him and called his name.
"He dodged the axe, but he caught a mean backhand to the face…" Reska explained.
Finally, the Forgelance gave Fergus a slap and he opened his eyes.
"Klimti! You're back, thank the Twelve!"
"I'm here, my friend."
"What… what about that monster?"
"Reska and I took care of it."
"…Your brother's not here, Klimti! It turns out we're on Ephedrya, we need to get going!"
"I know that now, Fergus. I know."
As the wind came up that day on the beach, they hadn't found Dayd Swood or the former members of Reska's guild. But they had found each other.

The Last Adventure of Count Lance Dur: arriving on ADN on March the 1st!
This concludes our series of Forgenews posts…
Thanks for reading! We wish you a truly krosmic year in 2023!
Don't forget to give us your opinion on the latest updates, or on the story of Klimti Swood.
Other surprises are coming your way soon on the Lance Dur website. Stay tuned!
Security
- As announced in the dedicated news post, the Modern version of the game no longer supports 32bit versions of Windows.
Usability and Improvements
Information banner
- An icon is now displayed in the information banner when a character is under the effect of a candy or Pandala blessing
- The display of states in the information banner during fights has been improved:
- The name of the state is now shown under the icon.
- The majority of spells cast by characters and monsters now have a state icon.
Other Changes
- The slimmed-down end-of-fight window has been improved and now shows Perceptor loot. If the latter has obtained items during the fight, a Perceptor icon appears on the interface. A list of items obtained is displayed when the cursor is moved over it.
- Kromatic Tokens are now linked to the account and have been moved to the resources category, which means they can be transferred between characters on the same account.
- The Gigantic Kralove applies the "Bogged Down" state instead of "Confusion" at the start of combat. The effect is the same: It prevents the "Paralyzing Poison" spell from being cast.
- The colors of Maho Firefoux have been changed to make the monster more distinct from Soryo Firefoux.
Combat Fixes
- Fixed an issue that prevented a dead character from being properly removed from the fighters' panel during combat.
Non-Combat Fixes
- Fixed an issue causing players to get logged out when opening the TTG card binder. We took advantage of this fix to optimize the interaction between the server and the game client with this interface.
- Fixed an issue that was preventing players from deleting their characters.
- Fixed an issue that made certain summons (e.g., The Ultra-Powerful) unable to be played correctly.
The maintenance is over and the servers are back online.
Thank you all for your patience, and happy gaming ! <3

Have a great day!
A special deal on the server transfer service was offered last November for the server merger. In 2023, we're bringing it back! It's time to take the plunge and go join your friends!
Until Sunday, January 29 (at 11:59 p.m. CET), you can get a 50% discount on the server transfer service. How does it work? It lets you migrate from one classic server to another, regardless of which community you belong to.
Don't let borders stand between you and your friends!
Please note, however, that this service still doesn't let you move to the single-account (Draconiros) or epic (Shadow) servers. On the other hand, switching from Draconiros to any of the classic servers is entirely possible!
Offer is limited to the first 300 spots on each server, subject to availability. Don't waste any time!
Have you managed to finish the quest since then?
If not, I highly recommend you contact support through a ticket. You can do that here: https://support.ankama.com/hc/en-us
