In celebration of St. Patrick’s Day and running from Today, Thursday March 14th until Tuesday, March 19th, a random-object-generated (ROG) reward awaits those who complete the annual ‘Leprechaun Treasure’ quest. Please remember – one quest completion per character, per year!

To obtain the quest, level 50s should pay the following poor souls a visit to help them ease their woes.

• Edmund in Cotswold’s tavern
• Bjorne in Mularn’s beer hall
• Silvadren in Mag Mell’s pub

• As part of the quest, players will be shapeshifted into a realm-specific “leprechaun” but have ALL of their stats debuffed by 75%.

• But fear not, leprechauns may be weak but they are also nigh impossible to catch: shapeshifted players will also have an unbreakable CC-immunity and speed buff for the duration of the shapeshift. 

• Oh, and we hear the real leprechauns love hiding their treasure around the “maze” areas of each realm. Enjoy some zany RvR throughout the event!

• The ROG reward is a choice between a ring or a bracer similar to the standard Valentine’s Day Imp quest with some slight differences. These ROGs will only allow up to 5 slots for stats but will also have 1 of 6 possible /uses.

• Players that interact with the ‘Leprechaun Treasure’ at the realms’ mazes will now receive a new One-Time Drop (OTD) reward, Patches’ Mug.

• This OTD can only be obtained once ever on a character (and not a new one each year).

• Players must be on the ‘Leprechaun Treasure’ quest to interact with the Leprechaun Treasure and obtain this OTD.

For the duration of the event, an additional 50% RP bonus is active in the areas of Pennine Mountains, Breifine, and Jamtland Mountains on Ywain! On Gaheris, the RP bonus has been added to all 3 capital cities.

For players of all level ranges, there are three pesky little tricksters who are hoping you’re not too lucky! A ‘charming’ reward will be bestowed upon those who have the cunning to out-wit:

• Killaghe in Albion
• Daighu in Midgard
• Iollarme in Hibernia

The “Luck of a Leprechaun” quest can be obtained from the following:

• Sir Prescott in Cotswold
• Hrolf in Mularn
• Epona in Mag Mell

Once again, this event will conclude on Tuesday, March 19st!

We wish you a happy and safe St. Patrick’s Day!

After a poll of the community on our official Discord server, Braemar is where we’ll be wreaking havoc for the next BG weekend event!

Valentine’s Day: Love’s Shield
 

As the Valentine’s Day festivities spread across the realm, whispers of a sinister presence emanating from the isle of Ellan Vannin have begun to surface. Tales tell of a malevolent pair, their love steeped in darkness, spreading chaos and corruption as they revel in their twisted affection.

A new Ellan Vannin mini event has begun! Players can visit the following NPC’s to obtain the quest [Valentine’s] Love’s Shield:

• Albion: Lady Idris in Catterick Hamlet
• Hibernia: Yda Llonwy in Crair Treflan
• Midgard: Fathor in Godrborg

This quest may be completed once per character, and is a battlegroup encounter. Defeat Solerila 5 times, or finish the [Daily] Roaming with Friends quest twice to complete the quest.

Quest rewards:

• Our new heart shaped shield!
• 50% Realm Point Bonus Potion (3 charges)
• 5,000 Bounty Points
• 5,000 Realm Points

Additionally, Solabas drops the ROG Solabas’ Bracer, and Solerila drops the ROG Solerila’s Ring. These ROG’s are similar to the St. Patrick’s Day event ROGs.

Ellan Vannin will have a 50% bonus to Realm Points for the duration of the Valentine’s Day Event.
 

Note: players will need to repatch their client to embrace the love in all it’s glory!
