7/25/18 | Preview | Ursoth Event Guide
An ancient evil returns to threaten the peace of Elondria!
Four years (!) ago, the vile troll Ursoth opened a portal and assaulted Arlor from his native realm of Elondria. 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!
Ursoth's Assault will run for 2 weeks, starting on Thursday, 7/26/18 ~1:30 PM CT and ending on Thursday, 8/9/18 at 1:30pm CDT.
TLDR version, let's start with the good stuff, Tier and Leaderboard Rewards:
Vanity Armor for Top 10 (among other things)
Back Piece for Platinum Tier (among other things)
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
Then, an extra special boss: 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 (replaces Unicorn food) is composed of components from the event and the main world.
Bloodgrub's Doll
Players craft Bloodgrub Dolls from store purchased Energy Kits and Specific Bloodgrub ingredients:
- Cracked Nature Jewels x4 (Rare)
- Bloodgrub Hair x5 (tradeable, stashable) Drops from everywhere in the world
- Bloodgrub Visage x1 (Legendary, tradeable, stashable) Drops from the lesser and greater free to open chests during the event

- Creeping Rot x 9 (tradeable, stashable) Drops from bosses in the Event Zone at all tiers
- Event Energy Kits x2 (tradeable, stashable) Purchased from the Token Vendor for Platinum
Bane Item: Elondrian Ward
The bane item will return this year with a minor twist. Using a Recipe dropped from Bloodgrub and Ursoth players can now craft an upgraded version of the Elondrian Ward that will also grant them extra damage in the event zone!
