Preview - Ursoth's Assault 2024!
It's time! Elondria needs your aid!
Ursoth is back and his portal to assault Arlor from his native realm of Elondria is open once again. An Orc Blood shaman named Bloodgrub discovered one of Ursoth's portals but was soundly defeated before she could prevail. Bloodgrub, having dealt in dark magic her whole life, has discovered a new way to grow in power, and she is spreading her corruption throughout Arlor. Now the Elondrian Rangers need your help. Help them fight off Bloodgrub's corruption and return Elondria to its natural splendor!

How to Play
It begins by talking to an Elondrian Ambassador in most major cities. You can also go to Elondria via the Main Map.
Head to the Event Hub for tons of Quests:
Energy
Energy is used to enter the portal to fight Ursoth's Assault bosses. One energy point will refill automatically every 8 hours. Refill your energy faster by collecting energy essences from monsters all around Arlor and crafting them into energy kits. Rarely, bosses will drop an entire energy point to fill one energy slot. Or, purchase Energy Kits from other players via the Consignment Shop for gold. You may also purchase energy for platinum at the Elondria token vendor or as you enter the portal in town.
Bosses
Enter the portal in Elondria to visit the event boss zone to defeat the newly corrupted bosses and earn loot and tokens to trade for limited edition items and vanities. There are 5 bosses to fight in Ursoth's Assault. Harder bosses may appear at higher tiers and grant more rewards and tokens. Defeat bosses to earn points and progress through the tiers: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum to fight:
+ Herond the Forest Sprite
+ Europhex the Basilisk
+ Helena, Lady of the Forest
+ The Great Troll Ursoth
Bosses have a chance to drop things like...
- Level 86 Legendary Gear (or gear appropriate for your level)
- Event Crafting Components
- Odious Set* [Wk 1] and Weapons* [Wk2] [Farmer's Elixir Only]
*Chance to loot increases with Tier.
-Plus, a special badge lootable from Ursoth Only
Then, there's: Bloodgrub.
Bloodgrub's Altar becomes active after you have killed one of the corrupted bosses in the Event Zone. Using Blood Grub's Doll will open a portal to BloodGrub's Fane, granting temporary access to everyone in the immediate vicinity. This portal will always take you to Bloodgrub.
Bloodgrub's Doll is composed of components from the event and the main world.
