+ FREEDOM XL has returned to Balefort Towne to celebrate the Fourth of July!
+ Hunt down Mad'Lur in the Legend of Ebonthrax campaign to loot Event Tokens and a special locked crate.
+ Use FREEDOM XL's special elixir to summon Mad'Lur in lower-level content.
+ This event is scheduled to run from 7.2 to 7.9! Happy Fourth of July!!
+ Realm Keys are now a bit easier to use.
+ Gold farming zones have been moved to a new "Gold Farm" dungeon map category so they can be hosted more easily.
+ There is now a 'Gold Farming Zone' portal in Frost Hollow Towne for instant travel to Gold Farming maps and Enchantments.
+ New 'Master Key' items provide access to Gold Farming and Enchantments for 30 minutes and their effect only counts down in PvE zones.
+ Note: there have been no changes made to existing 5 minute Realm Keys (their effects still count down in all settings).
does this begin at traditional 1:30 central time?

I assume Balefort Towne which is below Belfort Castle? can have screenshot of what FREEDOM XL looks like/ location?

I'm going to be brutally honest here. I don't think holiday events and grindy token vendor events should ever mix. Holiday events are a PL classic where you could buy vanity items for plat and have a boss to farm further rare items from. In my head I think of celebrating a holiday in a game for a few days a couple hours a day. This event has no boss loot. It has no map. It takes something like 70 hours to get everything from the vendor with tokens? I saw you agreed it takes too long to get and you proposed an extra week. Unfortunately the event rewards are so ugly (except maybe the eagle) people aren't going to utilize that extra week. They are going to play for an hour and do the math and never play the event again. No offense here but it seems like you don't know at all what types of vanity's people like in this game. I'm puzzled why there isn't some incentivizing nice loot to farm the boss for. Example: literally any color pa's helmet ANY color will get people playing the event for hours.
To sum it up Why would someone spend 70 hours grinding a boss that has no fun aspects, and the rewards are abysmal that you get from those 70 hours. It really hurts to say these things. Maybe make a poll to see what people would like recolored next time? My thoughts this event
