Preview - House Party 2023
The tricks AND the treats start early at an Arlor house party!
You don't have to wait for Halloween to get your party on! But be careful, there's a party crasher lurking in Arlor and he may have his eyes on your rocking shindig if it gets too rowdy.
How it Works
Gather 20 or more of your friends and guild mates in your house (guild halls don't count*) for a party! You get to decide what to do at this party.It's just the number of people that counts.
A realm-wide broadcast message saying "The Party Crasher is looking for a party to crash" will appear a few minutes before "Blotto" spawns! He'll appear every 2 hours.
If you have 20+ people in your house immediately after this message displays (approximately 5 minutes), it's party time! When Blotto the Troll arrives, team up with your party goers to slay the party pooper before he smashes your favorite vase!
Once slain, Blotto has a chance to drop gold and some of the many furniture items he's knicked from other parties, along with a special event crate. Both hosts and their guests can pick up the loot.
The Blotto Encounter
Blotto is fueled by adrenaline and way too much punch, and only takes 1 damage at a time. This will prevent instant-kills and make sure that everyone gets to participate in the fun!
BUT, he does do significant damage! So be careful, Legends, especially all you Hardcore types!
Finally, when Blotto takes damage he has a chance to drop Health and Mana powerups - so be on the lookout for these to appear during the fight.
Be aware, to reap Blotto's rewards you need to actively participate in the battle, so no sitting on the sidelines. Get into the fray to walk away with the spoils.

Token Vendor
Blotto will drop 'Party Favor' tokens when he is defeated. These can be used to purchase items from "Evensa," the event vendor.
Note: You'll need to complete a couple of quests from Galas before Evensa will talk to you (including a quest to defeat Blotto).
Evensa is just getting started in her new career as a merchant so her store is not very full... but the items that she sells are unique in Arlor.
Limited Loot "Trunks"
The Magic Trunks that Evensa sells are special. Each time you loot an item it is removed from the list of possible loot - making the total loot list smaller and smaller with each pull.
Click on the blue 'i' button to see the contents of the Magic Trunk. Items that you have already looted will display a checkmark:
The contents of each Magic Trunk will reset in 24 hours or if you loot all of the items!
