Taking advantage of the realms' distraction, Doppelgangers have begun increasing their numbers, and their territory. Expeditions across the frontiers today report far more Doppelgangers throughout the maze areas; while Breifine, Pennine Mountains, and Jamtland seem almost infested with them.

One such expedition captured one of the Doppelgangers, perhaps a little too easily. Did he give himself up? Not all Doppelgangers want to see the light of day.


  Alerted to the danger, the kings of the realms have placed a bounty on Doppelgangers in order to dispel these forces, before it's too late. 

• A new daily group credit quest has been added to both Ywain and Gaheris servers requiring players to hunt down and cull the Doppelganger numbers for a reward of 10 Invader Seals.
  • Doppelgangers have a rare chance to drop additional Invader Seals regardless of the quest being active or not.
  • Each character can only benefit from a max of 300 seals.
  • Doppelganger spawn rates have been increased at their existing locations and more locations have been added at each realm's maze and throughout Breifine, Pennine Mountains, and Jamtland Mountains.
    • Doppelgangers now spawn on Gaheris for the duration of the event and will award the identical RP and BP amounts as they do on Ywain.
• Rewards can be claimed at the Doppelganger Traitor at the strength relic town or in capital cities, and are unlocked at the following thresholds:
  • 10 seals = 1 Elixir of Conquest
  • 25 seals = 2 Elixirs of Conquest
  • 75 seals = 1 25% Realm Point Bonus potion (3 charges)
  • 125 seals = 1 Draught of Conquest
  • 175 seals = 1 50% Realm Point Bonus potion (3 charges)
  • 225 seals = 2 Draughts of Conquest
  • 300 seals = 1 50% Realm Point Bonus potion (30 charges)
• Doppelganger spawn locations that were too close to outposts have been moved further away or to a new area.
• Invader Seals earned from the previous Doppelganger Invasion event will not count towards this event.
• The Doppelganger Traitor NPC found in the capital cities (only this one!) is also offering a way to expedite the event at a significant discount to the normal price of the event's mithril rewards!

Players should speak with the Doppelganger Traitor at relic towns or in their capital cities to start this quest.

• All rewards and invader seals are no-trade, no-drop, no-destroy, and no-sell.
• Any leftover invader seals on a character will be removed at the end of the event and cannot be transfered to other characters.
• The Doppelganger Invasion event will come to an end on Tuesday, June 15th.

Welcome to this week's chocolate covered Grab Bag! Hope you enjoyed our little April Fool's in-game yesterday :) 

Thanks, as always, to everyone for your questions! You can submit any questions relating to current development plans, to request clarification on basic game mechanic questions, or questions on community issues through the Grab Bag Submission form. For any other feedback or suggestions please use our feedback form.

Hop on for the questions!

Thank you all for your feedback on the teleport obelisks in each realms relic town!

It's been great fun to watch the new dynamics created with groups enjoying some great combat on Ellan Vannin as well as the constant action at the ruined areas! We have also really enjoyed the epic keep battles this dynamic seemed to encourage!

As such, the following remains in effect for the foreseeable future:

• Teleport to and from Knoc Meayll has been re-enabled.
• Teleport to the Towers of Korazh, Deifrang, and Graoch remain disabled but the towers are no longer ruined.
• Teleport to the safe areas on Ellan Vannin remains disabled.
• Players of any group-size can visit their realm's relic towns to use the Ellan Vannin Obelisk to teleport to a random location in the central area of Ellan Vannin.
  • Groups of 6+ members who use this obelisk will receive a 100% bounty point bonus buff that will auto-refresh as long as they stay in the central area of the island.
    • Please note that this buff will *not* stack with mithril-purchased bounty point bonuses but will stack with all other BP bonuses.
    • Please note that this buff will affect Endless Conquest accounts as well as subscribed accounts.
  • This buff will dissipate if the group leaves the area but will return if they return to the area and still have the Ellan Vannin Port buff.
  • Groups of 6+ members with the Ellan Vannin Port buff will continue to get updates on the number of other 6+-person groups in the central area of Ellan Vannin.
• The obelisk in each realms' relic town will also still teleport ungrouped characters to Folley Lake, The Trellebourg, or Moydrium Castle and the 1 minute anti-group camping timer remains in place at the ruined areas.

We look forward to your continued feedback!

 

Sun is starting to show itself in some parts so hoping a lovely Spring/Summer is on the horizon :) We're all still recovering from such a hugely successful and massively fun event in Caledonia!

Our new RvR changes to Ellan Vannin have brought some interesting dynamics to Ellan Vannin already! Keep that feedback coming in and let us know your thoughts through our feedback form, official forums, or official Discord :)
