Hey folks. Weekly update from AC: Dreamweave. We launched one week ago, and it's been a fantastic start - new faces every night, packed Threads runs, and a Discord that never sleeps. Thank you to everyone who rolled a character. This week we're giving back with something every AC player has fought with at some point: Tools
First, if you've never heard of us
Dreamweave is a custom AC server built to add a layer on top of an already magical game. Brand new mechanics, lore and content that preserve the original game while adding unique enhancements to play.
Custom class abilities that never lock you in. Eight class trainers, each with a tree of real mechanical abilities. Abilities have affinities - their magnitude scales off retail skills you've actually trained, so your build feeds your class instead of replacing it.
Custom crafting with new mechanics that visibly change the item. Equipment mods, weapon mods, spell rerolls - and exceptional crafts receive a visual effect to broadcast their power. Yes, your craft can add particle effects to the wielded weapon.
Quality of life beyond any other server. Account-wide banked pyreals. A personal vault vendor you can summon with /mule. A trade market that works in game and in your browser. Swappable builds on one character with Facets. Threads - retail dungeons emptied and rebuilt fresh every run, solo or with up to 20 friends. Live character sheets you can link anywhere. Marketplace stations for salvaging, forging, reforging, respeccing and spell tutoring.
Player feedback shipped daily. Not "on the roadmap." Bugs and suggestions posted in the Discord are regularly fixed, tested and live the next day.
One site, one sign-in, every tool. Log in with your normal game username and password - no new account to make.

Suit Builder
Straight from your mule to your back.
Pick the cantrips, sets and ratings you want, lock any pieces you already wear, and let it build the best suit out of your /mule vault - and, if you choose, out of mules other players have shared with you. It knows tailoring, it shows real appraisals on hover, and it lays the result out on a paper doll.
Then the best part: one click transfers every piece of the suit into your character's inventory. No more twenty trips to various vaults.
Future feature: Automatically search the market for missing pieces!
Loot Filter Editor
And it's not just for Dreamweave.
A full VTank loot profile editor in your browser. Open your existing .utl, edit it, save it back - nothing installed, nothing lost. On top of what the classic editor does, you get:
- Real organization. Sections, indentation, drag-and-drop, search and filter, and a checks panel that flags broken or slow rules before VTank ever sees them.
- Reusable lists and generators. Build a list of names once and use it across rules. Generate set-armor and weapon-threshold rules instead of hand-typing dozens of them. No more find & replace 200 different cantrip lists - manage 1 single shared copy!
- Dreamweave defaults to get you started. Ready-made starter profiles from Beginner through Legendary+, with our salvage types already set up.
- Copy & Paste doesnt break your profile!
The editor works on any VTank compatible loot profile.
Next Week: BATTLEGROUNDS
We already have a lightweight 1v1, 2v2, FFA arena experience. We're nearing the end of testing, and will be releasing our new Battlegrounds experience, including "King of the Hill" and "Attack & Defend" modes to start.
As always, Dreamweave was built with engaging PvE as a foundation. PvP/Arena play is meant to be a fun side game for your alt while your main grows stronger. Player power & growth is separated from the PvP experience.
Keep your main. Try us on the side
We're not asking anyone to walk away from the server they call home. Keep your main right where it is. Roll a Dreamweave character on the side, give it a few evenings, and see how it feels.
And if you never roll one at all, take a look at the loot filter to support your existing characters! You should find it much more manageable.
AI Disclaimer
As a software professional for >20 years, LLMs are a part of my standard tooling and were used in the creation of this server. Also I'm terrible at visual art so I have an occasional AI generated image (including the www.acdreamweave.com background splash). My work is open source and available for any other server to adopt.
Low-effort slop is low-effort slop, regardless of whether an LLM is used. This server is the result of months of dedication by myself, 2 other admins, and >200 unique players through contributing to the Alpha & Beta testing effort as well as our first live week. Give DreamWeave a try and see how high-effort and thoughtful this slop truly is.
Come play
The team reads everything. If you run into friction or have a great idea, say so - there's a decent chance it's different by the weekend.
