Randomness’s Arcane Recap (Jan 2023)
So basically I decided to reformat the whole thing to be a monthly-based archive instead of a yearly-based recap. This means I will be splitting all the information into a few different sections.
- Updates - A quick overview of all the stuff added in the month
- Patch Notes - A list of all the patch notes that month as well as a note or two on what it includes
- Pictures - A bunch of public pictures of AO that we have gotten from the testers
- Videos - All youtube/twitter vids that vetex/testers have released publicly.
- Patreon Only - A list of all the leaks we have gotten from the patreon this month. No actual patreon leaks.
- Details from the man himself - Important stuff to do with the game vetex has either said in Patreon chat or publicly. This section is to try and remove misinformation spreading around the community. And also to find funny Twitter moments.
So now I am doing this topic in more abundance, I do have to say that this is not supposed to be a detailed recap of all the events in a specific month, it is supposed to be an archive-type thing.
Reminders for AO used to serve the archive for patch notes and other updates, but since has been used much more as a place to discuss (And spam random messages).
If you want a detailed look into the patch notes and updates, please check out @Cryonical 's fantastic Odyssey Feed.
Without further ado, nonsense and common sense, let me begin the first monthly Randomness’s Arcane Recap!
January Updates
One of the largest months yet, we have a lot to look at and a lot to think about. This month we have gotten Islands, Bottles, Squashed Bugs, Story, Secrets, Features, Trailers, Combat, Changes, and a lot more.

1.10.76 Energy changes, death of wardens, prepared to awaken.
1.10.77 Charging Visuals
1.10.78 A lot of things - I think I might go through this in a bit more detail, as there are a lot of changes this patch. Firstly, you can only have 1 type of amulet equipped at a time, this is introduced with a huge buff to legging-type items. Damage scaling has been changed, from what I understand the damage for the combat types your build uses is now calculated using the total number of points in either strength, weapons or magic. Having stats in vitality will slightly decrease the scaling, in exchange for more health and the eventual addition of spirit weapons. We also have all the awakenings for each build that does not use an infusion between the combat styles.

Final Notes
Thanks for reading! I would love to here your opinions on the reformatting to a monthly type thing! I do have a question though, due to the change to a monthly Archive, I thought I could rename the series to Randomness’s Arcane Archive instead, but I don’t know if that is the best fitting name.
