The Rites of Spring Event

Posted by John Thornhill | 2019 Apr 18 09:30 -0400 GMT


  • The killer bunny makes his annual return!
  • Collect and choose your Gem of the Harbinger reward!
    • Remember, the gem no longer drops as a One-Time-Drop and instead is a loot-choice on the Rites of Spring quest.
    • Killing the Harbinger of Spring mob (battlegroup-credit) still grants the quest automatically.
    • There will be no item exchange service for the Gem of the Harbinger or any of its variants, choose carefully!
  • Enjoy Spring with some RvR bonuses!
Read on for the full details!

The Rites of Spring event and RvR bonuses will continue through Monday, May 6th.

1.125D Pendragon Patch Notes

Posted by John Thornhill | 2019 Apr 11 16:54 -0400 GMT
Patch 1.125D is now up on the Pendragon test server!

As previously stated, 1.125D is all about bug fixes! Thank you to everyone who has been submitting bugs and keeping tabs on our official bug tracker page!

Click the image below to check out the latest patch notes! 

Important Note:
  • We highly suggest duplicating your game directory and using the duplicate copy as a Pendragon-only game directory *before* patching and testing on Pendragon.
    • ​This means duplicating the entire "Labyrinth" folder (usually found at C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\Labyrinth) to another location and using that copied folder exclusively for Pendragon testing.
    • If you do not do this, you *will* experience issues when patching from Pendragon back to live.
      • To force the live client to fix these issues, you will need to delete the mft.myp in your game's directory and then run the camelot.exe patcher again.
For those interested in testing on Pendragon, follow the character copy process here!
