Patch 7.7 - Secrets of the Forest!

Get ready to unearth hidden treasures and unlock ancient power — Patch 7.7 introduces the brand-new Archaeology Woodcutting System, a new Archaeology Crate, powerful new enchantments, and loads of new rewards waiting to be discovered among the trees!

🌳 Archaeology Woodcutting System

The forests of MineRaze are alive with secrets waiting to be uncovered! With this update, chopping down trees can now yield unique archaeology-themed drops:

• Duskworn Timber (Common)
• Shadow Wood (Rare)
• Ancient Bark (Legendary)

Use these resources to trade with The Treant in the brand new Archaeology area of spawn, craft exclusive items, earn unique pets, mounts and cosmetics, and unlock new opportunities as more recipes roll out in future patches.

Note: The drop rates for the new custom wood resources are balanced around using a tree farm together with the Chop Chop ability. For the best efficiency, we recommend farming larger trees in bulk. Drop rates may be adjusted in either direction if necessary.

New Special Axes

You can now purchase archaeology-themed axes specifically designed to discover hidden items while cutting wood. Alternatively, upgrade your favorite axe with Temporal Infusement to achieve the same results.

New Collectibles

Dozens of new unique items are waiting to be earned — including themed furniture, cosmetics, pets and mounts as well as the new OAKHEART title.

13 New Quests

Visit The Treant at spawn (/warp arch) to begin 3 themed quests designed around the new woodcutting system.

• Earn exclusive rewards and unlock progression bonuses
• Learn the mechanics behind archaeology woodcutting
• Collect rare resources to complete objectives

Additionally, 10 new vanilla archaeology-themed quests have been added! These introduce mechanics like brushes and task you with recovering and delivering vanilla-inspired relics.

🎁 New Crate: Archaeology Crate

Packed with limited-time items themed around exploration, ancient civilizations, and forgotten power. The Archaeology Crate is available on the store throughout the month of September.

Includes exclusive rewards like new furniture sets, headwear, tools, and armor — plus special items such as shears, a pickaxe that can uncover Archaeology Bones while mining, and other unique surprises!

Available via the store during September or from The Archaeologist and The Treant npcs.

✨ New Enchantments

Two powerful new enchantments arrive with this update, expanding your tools and farming capabilities:

🪓 Temporal Infusement

• Infuse your axe to uncover rare archaeology rewards while chopping trees
• Find currency, decorative furniture, cosmetics, and ancient relics
• Obtainable via special archaeology-themed axes or by upgrading your favorite axe. You can do this at /warp arch

🌾 Farmhand

👑Tournament Updates (Sep. 1st)

• The main tournament is now WEEKLY instead of monthly, following the results of the recent community poll.
• Rewards have been restructured and boosted — while weekly prizes are smaller than the old monthly ones, running 4 tournaments per month means the total rewards are more than DOUBLE what they used to be.
  • Old monthly rewards: 7 Rubies · 7 Crystals · 3350 Crowns
  • New weekly system (4 weeks): 16 Rubies · 20 Crystals · 7200 Crowns
• The Isle of the Dead leaderboards have been integrated directly into the /tournament system, so you can track standings from anywhere and rewards are given automatically.
• Crates Tournament has been fixed and should now properly count all crates opened (excluding Vote Crates).
