After battling with blood sworn enemies, and against our own, the realms have begun to settle. But it’s in times like this, this preoccupation, that sees another foe poised to take advantage to increase its power, and strike!

Recent Doppelgangers behavior has puzzled researchers across the land. Long-time veteran realm guards in Breifine, Pennine Mountains, and Jamtland report that they have not seen or heard reports of Doppelgangers these past few days. A call to arms is made, and a bounty awaits those who would muster their courage, summon their realm mates, to find out what this evil is planning and rid the land of this foul menace.

 

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. 

• Players are once again tasked 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 in Hadrian’s Wall, Odin’s Gate, Emain Macha, and Ellan Vannin.
  • Additional Doppelganger spawn locations have been added to Hadrian’s Wall, Odin’s Gate, Emain Macha, and Ellan Vannin.
  • Doppelgangers have been removed from the areas of Breifine, Pennine Mountains, and Jamtland Mountains for the duration of the event.
    • This quest is no longer a daily quest.
• 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 = 1x Cauldron of Supremacy
  • 25 seals = 1x Cauldron of Celerity
  • 75 seals = 1x 50% Realm Point Bonus potion (3 charges)
  • 125 seals = 1x Box of Event Potions (1 use, 1 item)
    • Potions include: Black Lion Potion, Wolf Potion, Sobekite Potion, Potent Effusion of Comprehension, Potent Effusion of Omnipotence, Potent Effusion of Warding, Extended Draught of Tenacity, Draught of the Arcane, and Draught of Resilience. Players will receive one potion.
  • 175 seals = 1x 100% Realm Point Bonus potion (3 charges)
  • 225 seals = 1x Starlight Weapon Token
  • 300 seals = 1 50% Realm Point Bonus potion (30 charges)
• 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!

Doppelganger Lord

• This quest is repeatable, group credit within the Crossroads regions, and awards realm points. Does not auto renew.

Note: This quest is to kill the Doppelganger Lord and provides a separate reward. The quest is not necessary to spawn and kill the Doppelganger Lord, as killing Doppelgangers and realm enemies is the objective of the event. You may spawn the Lord, and receive area rewards with or without the quest. 

• Killing players and Doppelgangers within Ellan Vannin will cause a Progenitor Doppelganger Lord to spawn on Ellan Vannin center.
• Once the Progenitor Doppelganger has been defeated, players killed within the region of Ellan Vannin will be worth more realm points for 15 minutes.
• This Realm Point boost can be refreshed by killing the Doppelganger Lord again. Note: players may need to leave and re-enter Ellan Vannin through the milegates if they aren’t getting the buff.
• Killing a Doppelganger Lord awards area credit realm points. On Ellan Vannin, this area has a radius around the center that does not extend beyond the milegates. The area is quite large, but be aware that it does not reach the outskirts of the map.
• Credit is not awarded if you are stealthed at the time the Progenitor Doppelganger dies.

Ruined Keeps and Knoc Meayll
 

• The merchant keeps of Caer Benowyc, Bledmeer Faste, and Dun Crauchon have reverted to their ruined state for the duration of the event.
• Knoc Meayll has been made un-captureable for the duration of the event.

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

• All event rewards and invader seals are no-trade, no-drop, and no-sell. They are destroyable, however are required in order to turn in for rewards.
• Any leftover invader seals on a character will be removed at the end of the event and cannot be transferred to other characters.
• The Doppelganger Invasion event will come to an end on Tuesday, August 19th, 2025.
