Knowledge
The ArcoMage Wiki
Game rules, spell index, strategy guides, and everything else you’d want to look up.
Status
The full wiki (with proper search) launches at
knowledge.arcomage.org alongside the public launch.
Until then, this page is a static teaser of the game canon that
already exists. The wiki engine will be backed by the same data
that drives the in-game tooltips — one source of truth, so
no drift between “what the wiki says” and “what the game
does.”
What’s in the wiki at launch
Spell index
- Every spell, browsable by Circle (I–VIII)
- Filter by rarity, type, school
- Auto-generated from spell JSONs — never out of date
- Per-spell stats: play rate, win rate when cast, balance history
Arcane Dust + crafting
- Grind formula (circle × rarity)
- Craft costs by rarity
- How match wins pay out dust
- Spell Chest contents + drop rates
Strategy guides

- Sideboarding between games of best-of-3
- Common spell synergies + counters
- Reading the meta from the balance dashboard
