 Overview

As things currently stand, The Age of Calamitous mod can’t be

officially supported on the new Siptah map as it is blocked for
modders.

That said, there are ways you can set up the mod to function with a
bit of work as an Admin. We’ll go over the basics below.

(This goes for any custom maps that may come out in the future as
well.)

 Setup

When using The Age of Calamitous on the Siptah expansion map, we’ll
have to cover the core features that exist in AoC. As an Admin you’ll need
to manually set up these features.

FACTIONS
The key aspect of AoC are the Factions, all of these can be spawned in
from the Admin Panel.
Do a search for ‘Grandmaster’ in the Buildings tab, this will list 6
identically named placeables, but each will have a unique icon. This icon
represents the Faction. When these are placed down, players will now be
able to interact with them and be able to learn one of the Factions.

SUB-FACTIONS
Each Sub-Faction can be placed down just like the Factions. Do a search
for ‘Faction’ and you’ll find all the available Sub-Factions.
Now, Sub-Factions do have questlines associated with them. It will be quite
a bit of effort to set them up as you’ll need the ingredients, NPCs, etc. to
achieve that. To avoid this hassle, we’ve implemented Gold Tokens for
each Sub-Faction now. This allows you to spawn in a Gold Token, which
allows players to learn 1 or more Sub-Factions.
TIP – If you want them to do a quest, use a Thespian from the Pippi mod,
or use it to distribute the gold tokens when the player reaches a certain
point.
MAGIC
The Magic System in AoC revolves heavily on content you find in the world
so in order to achieve this you’ll have to manually set up a few things.
Start with the Magic Shrines. Do a search for ‘Shrine’ and you should find
all of them in the Building tab. They have the white Stormhold icon on
them. Once you place these down, players will be able to interact with them
and learn magic.
However, the Attunement aspect is also important to cover, or else the
player will die when they interact with the shrines.
TIP – By using an NPC Spawner from Pippi, you’ll be able to set up
positions on the map that these NPCs can be spawned from. Their names
are as follows:
Magus_NatureAttune
Magus_DemonicAttune
Magus_MysticAttune

Additionally, you’ll need Ascension NPCs in order to be able to ascend to

the next tiers within the magic classes. These NPCs are named as follows:
Magus_DemonicAscension1-2
Magus_NatureAscension1
Magus_NatureAscension2
Magus_NatureAscension3-4
Magus_MysticAscension1-3
Certain Ascension items are found in the world and also dropped from
NPCs. Consult the Magic Guide in the #support-guides channel on Discord
for more information on this.
TIP – Use a Thespian and/or NPC Spawner from Pippi to offer these items
to players.
TIP – AoC NPCs can be found at the bottom of the NPC Spawn List in the
Admin panel if you’re not familiar with the names.

ADDITIONAL PLACEABLES
There are some other placeables in AoC that are found around the world,
here are a few that can be spawned in from the Admin Panel:
Bobby’s Sanctuary

Nathan Galeran (Honor Vendor)

Loyalty Vendor

There are also a few Key NPCs that can be spawned via the NPC Spawn
List on the Admin Panel or via an NPC Spawner from Pippi, these are:
Farm_Trainer (George McWillan)

Animal_Trainer (Camilla Redwood)

QUEST NPCs
Aethos_Stormcaller (Felgarth)

Skyre_Anarious (Cold Embrace – Empyrus)

Errynaya_Anarious (Cold Embrace – Sanguis)

Shenarah_Alury (Elven Covenant)

Nekada Bloodfist (Vanghoul - Spawned from Building Tab as a placeable)

Gorethorn (Cold Embrace Questline for Sanguis)

Quest Bosses
Sarod (Cold Embrace – Empyrus Quest)

Alyssa (Vanghoul Quest)

Kurokumo (Elven Quest)

Note: Felgarth has Tomes they need to acquire, these can be spawned in as items
from the Admin Panel. These are named as follows:

Tome of Starlight

Tome of Storms

Tome of Volcanic Flames

Tome of Life

Tome of Retribution

This should help you set up the core features for the mod. There are additional
elements, such as the Scourge creatures, which you can manually make camps for
using the NPC Spawner from Pippi.

Hope this guide helped cover some of the basic things you can do to set up your
Siptah server running The Age of Calamitous!
