Important Note:
-
We highly suggest separating out your normal game directory from your Pendragon game directory *before* patching and testing on Pendragon.
-
If you do not do this, you *will* experience issues when patching 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 run the patcher again.
For those interested in testing on Pendragon, follow the character copy process here!

 The killer bunny makes his annual return, and this time he's brought some friends!
-
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!
-
Players who defeat the Harbinger should be careful, or they'll find themselves forever reminded of the battle!
-
New Bunny mounts! 5 Varieties!
-
The '[Spring] Preparations' quest extension!
-
Fun and mayhem in Killaloe!
-
Check out the Event Shop in the capital city to pick up your spring-themed shield pattern!

Have you or your friends been thinking of coming back to Dark Age of Camelot? Or are you a veteran player just looking for a change of pace!? Now is a great time to return home to DAoC!
Our 7th Catch Up In Caledonia event begins today, Monday, March 6th at 3 PM EST / 9 PM CET!
Read on for the full details!
What is Catch Up in Caledonia?
It's a way to start fresh and rapidly progress to the end-game with players around your level!
The 7-day long event that will take place entirely in the Realm vs Realm-enabled Caledonia battleground zone.
Players will start at level 1 and rapidly progress to level 50 all while earning gear, master levels, champion levels, and realm ranks along the way!
By event's end participants will be ready to compete in the Frontier!
When does the event start and end?
The event starts precisely at 3 PM EST / 9 PM CET on Monday, March 6th a nd will end at 3 PM EST / 9 PM CET time on Monday, March 13th.
How does the event work?
-
For the first 4 days of the event, newly created level 1 characters will be automatically zoned into the Caledonia battleground where they will vie for control against the enemy realms!
-
This will be the ONLY way to get inside the battleground zone. Once inside, characters can voluntarily leave but CANNOT return!
-
All monsters, center-keep guards, and siege weapons are removed for the event. The only way to progress is by defeating realm enemies in battle and completing the related quests.
-
Charm-pet classes will be able to create a pet to charm at their realm's portal keep.
-
At 3 PM EST / 9 PM CET on Friday, March 10th, character starting locations will reset to their default zones and no new characters will be able to join the event. Everyone still inside Caledonia will be able to continue progressing for the remainder of the event's duration.
-
Experience, bounty, and realm point bonuses will be granted to both free and subscribed accounts in the battleground to help them progress!
-
Earn bounty points for completing quests and defeating enemy realm players and use them to purchase level-appropriate gear as you strive to 50 and then master and champion levels!
-
All characters will begin and remain in the same Caledonia zone for the entirety of the event.
-
The following level caps will be in place for all characters in Caledonia and will increase as follows every 24 hours:
-
Day 1 (Monday): Level 19 maximum
-
Day 2 (Tuesday): Level 29
-
Day 3 (Wednesday): Level 39
-
Day 4 (Thursday) : Level 49
-
Days 5-7 (Fri-Mon): Level 50
-
Characters that reach the day's level cap will still be able to earn realm and bounty points.
-
Characters that are 5 levels or more below the day's level cap will receive the Caledonia Boost buff.
-
This buff greatly increases the damage dealt and greatly reduces damage received from characters that do not have the buff (higher level characters)!
-
Characters with the Caledonia Boost buff active will also DOUBLE the XP and BP rewards for themselves and their group!
-
When the level cap reaches 49 the buff will be given out to characters 3 or more levels under the cap.
-
Overwhelming Force system:
-
There is no overwhelming force enabled for this current event.
How far will I be able to progress?
Players that start at the beginning of the event should be able to reach level 50, Champion level 15, Master level 10, and Realm Rank 5+ with the potential to earn much higher realm ranks! Characters will also be able to earn enough bounty points to not only obtain gear as they progress towards level 50 but also to use for end-game gear via Bountycrafting after reaching level 50!
We'll see you on the battlefields of Caledonia!

Congrats to all the winners of our King's Tournament during Dark Age of Camelot's 21st year anniversary!
Statues for those who finished in first place are now ingame in the capital cities.
Previous winner statues have been moved to new locations within the capital cities. In addition, statue winners, including previous tournament statue winners, will also get a copy of their statue placed by their home ingame! We'll be in touch with each of these winners on placement in due course.
Game time and Mithril rewards for the top 10 winners of our 21st anniversary tournament have been now been given out, and the full list of winners are below (with duplicated placed players adjusted to their highest placed position only).
We apologize for the delay with the exclusive item skin reward, but be assured, they are on the way!
