Ill screech if we do lol

Thank you again for this lovely surprise event. Your commitment to us is amazing, Cinco and his team.

A individual points scoring farming event my favorites. And with this one you have added the gold farming maps and discounts on enchantments.

Will you re-introduce your counter bot questions for access to the gold farming zones or random number generator?

The new Golden Age Vanity will certainly be a reward to get to the top 25 on the leaderboard. Making them character bound makes it more special.

Can you please specify what items can be looted in the Shimmering Shores event?
Amulets and Vanity items? which ones in particular?

I'm loving the top 25 competition, it's 'boutta get heated folks. Thanks for all your hard work Cinco, these events really keep the game electric.

There's absolutely no way for people to get the vanity set outside of being on the top 25?

Oof.

I'll get top 5
Good luck to everyone else

Well this maybe one event I won’t do.. no time to farm that much... Good luck to everyone else I will still be on.

I would like to have a vanity or gaze for getting at least bronze

Cinco

I hope there's some vanities we can loot from the boss, but I doubt it since it wasn't show/written down in the preview

What bot countermeasures will be in place?

I hope next cap we get new faces that arent gazes, but cool event cinco i was wondering when the shimmering event would return.

Yeah a special face for those who hit level 110 in 3 days !

I like this idea

when's the new cap?

New cap is tomorrow.

It seems we are all eager to hear or see what will be dropping in the shimmering shores event. Any hints or will we have to find out the old fashioned way? *cough*

There will be a couple of new vanity weapons in the "Golden Age" style (Axe and Wand).
There will also be a special locked item pack called the "Gilded Age Vanity Chest" that contains class-specific trade-friendly versions of the leaderboard vanity items (without the cool particles or the powerful buffs).
