Preview - Return of the Halo Hunters Event!
If you're willing to brave the unknown below Windmoore's city streets...new vanities (and more) await!
Freda, a student at the Temple of Knowledge, discovered an ancient blueprint of Windmoore, indicating that a crypt exists deep below the city street. This crypt is said to hold treasures untold. Halos, weapons, and even pet eggs.
Unfortunately, treasure was not the only thing they discovered...
How to Play
NEW To enter the path to the crypt below the streets of Windmoore, craft a repair kit using building materials, which will be commonly dropped all around Arlor during the event (similar to energy essence).
You can also purchase a kit directly at the portal for quick and easy access.
Brave the undead-infested halls of the Mortarax Crypt to collect event exclusive items and crafting components for event rewards.
Quests
The Halo Hunters Event has 3 successive story quests, ending with Pina's The Eternal Web quest. Make sure to complete it to unlock a brand new Arcane Pet Egg recipe, and unlock the ability to loot its crafting components within the crypt.
Once complete, visit Freda for a daily quest with additional rewards.
