Preview - Winter 2021! Rise of the Drauger!
When the cold winds blow, dragons stir. Syrillax is back for another year, but her brood continues to grow, and with it, the threat to Frozen Hope. The residents of Frozen Hope have opened their gates to all Arlorian heroes willing to take up arms against the dragons.
The Winter Event runs for 3 weeks from 12/16 to 1/6, with a 3 day cooldown.
This is an Energy Event. Energy Essence drops everywhere in the realm but the chances to loot are higher when fighting monsters at (or above) your level, and lower when fighting monsters below your level.
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 an Orb in past years--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 in addition to the original zone.
Mount Spyr
Kick off the Winter Event by entering the Mount Spyr Pass portal. Fight bosses and baddies, earn tokens, and loot some awesome new winter vanity items such as...Hel Wings
Muninn Wings
and, the Wrapped Shield back pack:
Most importantly, snag the Weak Flamestones and open chests that drop in the zone to earn Icy Dragon Scales. These will be instrumental in defeating Syrillax's brood later on.
Event Zone: The Brooding Grounds
Throughout the Winter Event, Syrillax's brood egg begins to stir and all Arlorian heroes must gather to defeat it before it gets out of control!
The egg resides in the Brooding Grounds, which opens for 1 hour every 3 hours for a chance to crack the egg and make sure what's inside doesn't leave those grounds. While you wait, craft Dragon Flamestones as your ticket to the fight. When you enter the zone, one Dragon Flamestone will be removed from your inventory, the egg will hatch and the fight will commence!
Meet... Drauger.
Among other things, the Brood Dragon will drop a unique set of crafting components that are required to build the new Drauger vanity weapons! Pick up the crafting recipe from the Token Vendor in town.
For the more active farmers, you can purchase a special tradeable and stashable hunter's elixir from the event vendor for 10 Platinum. This elixir will increase the drop chance of the Bone Dragon Weapon components used to craft Bone Dragon Vanity Weapons! The elixir lasts for 10 minutes after consuming.
