    Everyone could use a hug now and then, and none more than the legendary Hugthulu and Hugthulu Prime. They're back, but it's up to you if you'll accept their deadly embrace.

    Getting Started

    Speak to Cupid in Windmoore to learn more about the Lovecrafting Event and the huggable threat that Arlor faces. He'll direct you to the portal where you can spend energy to enter the event zone.

    Note on Energy Drops: fight monsters at or above your character level to get the best Energy Essence drop rate. Fighting creatures below your level means a lower drop chance for Essence. The mechanics for this event are the same as they were for our most recent 'Energy' event (Winter 2020).

    Once you're inside the event zone, you can purchase the event Bane Item, the Enthralled Talisman. This item will prevent Hugthulu's tainted love barrels from damaging and slowing you.

    Make your way through the map defeating enemies and the Merfkin mini-boss to collect L, O, V, and E candy letters. These can be crafted into event tokens, or a Love Letter to summon the second boss, Hugthulu Prime (more on him in a second).

    Then, get ready for a fight! Hugthulu awaits.

    Timeline

    This two-week event will begin on Thursday, February 4th and run through Thursday, February 18th, with a 3 day cooldown.


    Event Scoring and Tier Rewards


    Killing Hugthulu gives you Tier Points. Climb through Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Plat Tiers for awesome rewards! At Gold Tier and above, use a Love Letter (crafted from Parchment Paper and L-O-V-E candy letters) to summon Hugthulu Prime at his altar! Killing Hughtulu Prime gives you significantly more Tier points.

    • Bunch of Set rarity armor and weapons

    Notes on Sets:


    • The Level 76 Sets from last year have returned. If you've already got your preferred 76 set then you're 'all set,' as they say :-)
    • Yes, if the Level 81 Expansion were out, we would've added 81 Sets for this event... but the new level cap still has a long way to go
    • We also chose not to introduce 'slightly more OP' alternative 76 set as this felt both inconsistent and unfair


    Notes on Set Mechanics:

    • Endless Love armor sets can be upgraded into Tainted Love armor sets using Hugthulu's Purple Rose which drops from Hugthulu Prime
    • Endless Love is a 2/2 set bonus only
    • Tainted love is a 3/3 Set bonus only
    • Endless Love and Tainted Love Armor and Helmets have the same stats and only differ in the sets they accompany
    • Stats awarded from set bonus will work in ALL areas of the game, including PvP


    • Lovely Courtesan Vanity Set
    • Rose Vanity Set
    • Frown Wisp
    • Mask of the Ancient One
    • Gold, Platinum (various amounts)
    • Elixir Kits (various types)
    • Epic and Legendary equipment and jewel recipes(for your level)

    Limited Time Store Sales

    As in past events, we'll be holding a couple of special sales throughout the event.

    On February 6th and 7th, get the Black Rose Aura Wisp.

    Additional Notes

    - Loveling, Octopus and Shoggoth pets passive and AA do double damage in the Lovecraft zone, and with the appropriate set (Any Endless or Tainted Love set for octopus pets, 76 Endless or Tainted Love set for Loveling and Shoggoth) will deal that extra damage in all other zones, including PvP.
    - Candy Letters of all types ONLY drop from the new event zone.
    - Gold Letters can be traded.
    - Love Letter can ONLY BE USED by Gold tier or higher players, but can be crafted and sold/traded by anyone.
    - Hugthulu's event zone has been reduced in size.

    This info made me sad:

    "But the new lvl cap still has a long way to go".

    RIP, thought it was almost finished. Decent event love that they add a plat tier aura. Also imagine opening locks, you finally see something arcane looted, is it arc useless fossil xD. Time to remove it from locks imo.
