In Arlor, we love love. But, that's not true of everyone...especially in other dimensions. All of the love in Arlor has caught the attention of Hugthulu once more.

Hugthulu and Hugthulu Prime have risen again and it's up to you to ensure that the spirit of love lives to see Valentine's Day!

This is an Energy/ Leaderboard event.

Energy Portals to Hugthulu's Realm are open in townes all across Arlor. Energy Essences drop from all dungeons across Arlor. You can also craft or purchase energy kits from other players. Excess Crafted Energy and Energy Essence will be removed after the event is over.

What's New?

There are plenty of new things to see in this year's event! The new Love Legend Tuxedo and Dress vanities for each class, for example, can be found in a variety of colors throughout the game.
