It's the most wonderful time of the year...
Syrillax is back with a whole new Brood Dragon... Dawnfire!
The residents of Frozen Hope have opened their gates to all Arlorian heroes willing to take on the beast, with new maps, gear, pets, and bone-chilling boss encounters.
Syrillax's brood is yet to hatch however, and it will be up to you--our heroes--to find and deal with her eggs, thus preventing the success of Syrillax's attack.
Bane Item: Orb of Ursume
The Orb of Ursume is a special item purchasable only for Platinum that will help you along your way through mobs of frozen enemies and increasingly challenging bosses. Having the Orb in your inventory will reduce the critical rate of bosses by 6% and deal up to 50% more damage to monsters and bosses in the Mount Spyr Pass zone!
The best news of all? If you purchased and Orb last year--you're set! Same orb, same perks.
Bane Item Upgrade
The Orb of Ursume can be upgraded with a recipe that drops from Syrillax. The upgraded version of the orb works in the Brooding Grounds this year in addition to the original zone!
Event Zone: The Brooding Grounds
[INDENT]
After the first week of the Winter Event, Syrillax's Brood Dragon will make her move and the Brood Dragon Egg's will begin to drop. Each time Syrillax is defeated during this part of the event she has a chance to drop one of her precious Brood Dragon eggs. If you are the lucky player to pick up the egg--Congratulations! Finding the egg will trigger a world event and start the meter on a global goal toward hatching the egg.
The finder of the egg will also receive the Winter Broodmaster title.
Once found, the egg will be placed in the Brooding Grounds where players will have to craft Dragon Flamestones to heat the egg and hatch the dragon inside. Obtain Weak Dragonstones from all event bosses while the Global Goal is active, then craft them up to Dragon Flamestones. You can obtain the recipe from the Frozen Hope Token vendor. Dragon Flamestones used to hatch the Brood Dragon from last year can be used this year. Open the Flamestones in your inventory to receive a stat buff, an event point, and contribute to the Global Goal!
Don't forget to pick up your Dawnfire Hunter's Badge from the Token Vendor. You'll need it to enter the zone. Last year's Hunter's Badge will not work for the Brooding Grounds.
Once the Global Goal is reached, you can re-enter the Brooding Grounds to fight the BROOD DRAGON Dawnfire. Once hatched, the Brood Dragon will only be available to fight for 1 hour before another Brood Dragon Egg must be found, so be quick on your feet!
Among other things, the Brood Dragon will drop a unique set of Dawnfire Weapons that can the be crafted into the mighty impressive Dawnfire Dragon vanity weapons! Pick up the crafting recipe from the Token Vendor in town. The actual crafting of the vanities can only be started while Dawnfire is up!
You'll also have a chance to loot a very special egg: Heroic Krampus!
EDIT: The Brood Dragon now has a very rare drop, the never-before-available some-thought-to-be-mythical Purple Santa Suit for all classes:
Dawnfire Hunter's Elixir
For the more active farmer's this year, you can purchase from the event vendor a special tradeable and stashable hunter's elixir for 10 Platinum. This elixir will increase the drop chance of the Dawnfire Weapons used to craft Dawnfire Vanity Weapons and Krampus' Egg! The elixir lasts for 10 minutes after consuming.
