Infinite Leaftide - A 2026 Update (Real, Friday edition)

Infinite Leaftide - A 2026 Update (Real, Friday edition)

Discord: https://discord.gg/C5xWAbEhS

One of the longest running and most popular custom Asheron's Call servers has been recently expanding it's development team and scope in the last six months. Continuing on the path of running a truly Infinite Asheron's Call experience while also maintaining the core feel and excitement of our past, Infinite Leaftide wants to re-introduce itself to the community.

One

Like many custom servers we have a bonus for completion of quests that increases luminance/XP gains, custom augmentations, and custom everything.

New Server Host:

Probably the single biggest change to Infinite Leaftide was changing our host on February 22nd, 2026. Long gone are the days of ILT being an on again and off again lag soup. We are now completely stable using a much stronger and more efficient host and lag is a thing of the past.

Commitment to fairness:

Last year we also implemented vast tracking tools that allowed us to find and deal with an over abundance of cheaters and VPN abusers to keep the server as fair to all players as possible. This resulted in many bans or character stat roll backs to keep everyone honest and foster a better playing experience for the base. We'll continually do this as needed.

Fun Stuff:

  • Introduced another new tier of hunting grounds beyond VoD lovingly referred to as "T10"
  • A "Daily Quest" that allows you to gain +1 Attribute (even beyond 100 starting)
  • Increased Coin Rewards on the T8 Kill Tasks
  • Created low-level daily hunts for more active play options for newer players.
  • A whole new hub for newer players to be on boarded more smoothly and give them some starter gear.
  • Illuminated Jewlery quests to customize your jewelry.
  • Paragon Armor quests to improve your loot gen armor.
  • Reward Hubs for 2500, 5000, 7500 and 10,000 Quest Bonus.
  • Daily "Hide and Seek" event NPC, and often ran live events.
  • Split Arrow, so your missile attacks hit multiple enemies.

Really new and REALLY cool:

A whole monster capturing system. Any monster in the game can be whittled down and attempted to be captured. Once captured the essence of the monster can be used cosmetically ... or now, offensively.

That's right, the newest addition to ILT is the ability to use summons effectively and in a cool and unique way. Through bonding. What is Infinite Leaftide without more Infinite?

Once you capture ANY monster in the game and apply the essence to a summon it not ONLY takes on the look, appearance, weapon, strengths and weaknesses of that monster - it now LEVELS UP and gains stats just like your main does. Each level of bonding adds ratings that makes your new best friend not only YOURS but also makes them effective. Pairing it with Summoning Custom Augmentations and you'll actually have your own personalized best friend.

An 800+ level \"Bonded\" Pet - new stats - and you can use ANY monster in the game.

This is what it looks like, Bond level 822. This is Old Scratchy.

Charms:

Very new introduction to Infinite Leaftide but a super exciting addition is "charms". When you have a charm in your inventory you can toggle them off and on whenever you want. What these will do will WILDY vary and provide an impossible amount of customization going forward. Currently we have Charms for not requiring components to cast spells, and helping VTank use some of the unrecognized spells in the game.

An example of some Quality of Life charms.

A small sample of what come are things like Culling Strike, more Imbue Chance and even altering the way skills can work.

The future?

The development team is currently working on adding more Infinite to Infinite Leaftide while maintaining the balance of keeping the core feel of the game still Asheron's Call. Basically steering the game in the direction we believe it could have gone if it wasn't ended.

Plans to utilize the Charm system to bring back character identity to the server, re-vamping old favorite hunting areas as new and exciting (and dangerous) versions, a continuation to the Pet Bonding System, and updating some custom ILT quests to higher-level versions with better rewards.

Genuinely hope to see some new and returning players hop in and start relearning the best version of the best MMO of all time.
