Preview - Shimmering Shores Event!

[Cinco]

LET'S GO TO THE BEACH!
After weeks of getting pummeled in the dreary darkness of the 'Mad Mage's Castle,' the evil MYXX and her cadre of skeletal warriors have decided to find respite on an oft overlooked isle in the lower Humania chain. Shimmering Shores! A temperate holiday paradise embraced by wide sandy beaches and studded with luxurious cabanas. MYXX's trip to the shores would go utterly unnoticed were it not for the fact that MYXX and her pals are die-hard villains who can't keep themselves from scaring the locals, running off the tourists and smashing all the cool tiki artifacts. We'll be going to kick some sand in MYXX's face and grab a few of these new electrifying 'Zap' vanity pieces as souvenirs!



TIMING
The Shimmering Shores Event is scheduled to begin at 12am Friday the 10th and end at 11:59pm on Sunday (Central time).
Bronze, Silver and Gold Tier winners will have two days to buy items from the prize vendor, run the gold-farming zones and enjoy discount Enchantments from Augey and Alfie.

SCORING
This is an individual player leaderboard event.
Blue Skeletons are worth 2 Points. Golden Skeletons are worth 20.
Vixen, Ursan and Avian Bosses are worth 40 Points. Myxx is worth 60.


VICTORY TIERS and PRIZES
Earn 15,000 points for Bronze Tier. 25,000 points for Silver. 35,000 points for Gold.
Bronze, Silver and Gold Tiers all get access to the new Zap Vanity Set (armor, helmet, shields and weapons).
Zap items range in price from 250,000 gold | 100 Platinum to 750,000 gold | 300 Platinum (for character-bound and trade-friendly items, respectively).
Like previous events, each Tier gets a different gold farming zone and each gets a different discount on item Enchantments.

NOTE: The Full Zap Item set gives you +50% run speed in towne and +15% Bonus Gold Loot

BALANCE and LOOT
Even though this event is based on individual score, the content has been balanced for teams.
The event portal offers the option to 'Go Solo' or 'Go Multi' (so you can party-up and vacation together or storm the beach by your bad self)!
Ok'Tal and War Bird Pet buffs will not apply when adventuring on Shimmering Shores.
Myxx has a chance to drop the 'Black Gold' vanity sword:


...and the 'Angelic Blue Persistence' helm (that can be used to complete the Blue Angel set):


Good luck to all!!
