Foundry — schedule & rewards
TL;DR — Foundry is Epic Seven’s new Steam-era server with celebration buffs and rewards posted through about 2026-12-31 UTC. Per STOVE’s launch table, Guild War opens around 2026-11-21 03:00 UTC and World Arena after 2026-12-10 maintenance — always re-check STOVE for patches. Logging into Steam with a converted account keeps legacy progress; it does not auto-place you on Foundry. Unofficial guide on epicsevensteam.com.
Foundry opened with the Epic Seven Steam launch window as a new server track: starter buffs, celebration mail, and Foundry-only matchmaking for listed PvP modes. This page paraphrases public STOVE/Steam notices — schedules can shift after maintenance. Independent guide; not Smilegate or STOVE.
Snapshot around 2026-10-29. Times UTC unless noted.
Transfer vs start on Foundry
Convert STOVE→Steam login when you want to keep an existing legacy-server roster. Starting on Foundry means creating/playing a Foundry character with celebration buffs and separate PvP — transfer alone never moves a legacy Heir onto Foundry. Read the full transfer steps on STOVE ↔ Steam transfer.

Guild War on Foundry
TL;DR — On Foundry, Guild War is scheduled to unlock around 2026-11-21 03:00 UTC per STOVE’s celebration table — verify the live notice before planning guild resets. Join or create a guild early, clear daily guild content, and treat GW as a Foundry-side unlock separate from account transfer. Dates can shift after maintenance; cite STOVE, not this page alone.
Unlock date
STOVE’s Foundry celebration table lists Guild War opening at approximately 2026-11-21 03:00 UTC. Draft Arena opened with the Steam launch window; World Arena is listed after 2026-12-10 maintenance (UTC). Always re-open the live STOVE Foundry notice before scheduling guild activities — patches can move windows.
Pre-open checklist
- Join or create a Foundry guild well before 2026-11-21 so membership is settled.
- Clear daily guild missions and donate when available to build guild level/currency.
- Stock stamina items and keep a usable PvP core (tank/healer/cleanser) ready for guild offense/defense.
- Confirm your character is on Foundry — legacy-server guilds do not count as Foundry GW.
- Watch STOVE for any GW rule or schedule errata after maintenance.
Rewards window
Treat Guild War rewards as part of Foundry’s celebration cadence; exact loot tables belong on STOVE. Many Foundry starter buffs and login gifts are posted through about 2026-12-31 02:59 UTC — GW itself unlocks earlier (≈11/21) so you can earn GW rewards inside that broader celebration window. Re-check STOVE before spending resources.
What ends on 12/31
| Item / buff | Approx. end (UTC) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Many Foundry starter growth buffs | ~2026-12-31 02:59 | Per STOVE Foundry celebration framing — verify live |
| Daily free Covenant summons window (Foundry framing) | Through celebration end | Cap/count per STOVE; not a transfer perk |
| Login / mailbox celebration gifts | Timed per each mail | Claim early; do not wait for 12/31 guesswork |
| Guild War unlock | Opens ~2026-11-21 03:00 | Not an end date — start of GW on Foundry |
| World Arena (Foundry) | After 2026-12-10 maintenance | Separate from GW; check STOVE |

Planning notes (unofficial)
Use the unlock table with the Guild War section; claim mail early; treat legacy and Foundry characters as separate stamina pools. Re-check STOVE after maintenance.
Foundry FAQ
Is Foundry the same as transferring my old account?
No. Transfer keeps legacy progress; Foundry is a separate server with its own characters and matchmaking for listed PvP.
When do Guild War and World Arena open on Foundry?
Per STOVE schedule table around launch: Guild War 2026-11-21 03:00 UTC; World Arena after 2026-12-10 maintenance.
How long do Foundry starter buffs last?
Many celebration buffs and the Rank 70 Luna join path are posted through 2026-12-31 02:59 UTC — verify in-game and on STOVE.
Can I play Guild War on legacy after transfer?
Login transfer keeps your legacy-server character where it was. Foundry Guild War is a Foundry-side unlock (~2026-11-21 03:00 UTC per STOVE). A legacy Heir does not automatically join Foundry GW; you need a Foundry character. See the Guild War section above and STOVE Foundry notices.
