Preview - Stronghold Siege! Return to Castle Vyromir!

[Cinco]

Defend Castle Vyromir!

The Vyromir royals have been invaded by a scourge of orcs and beseech you, Legends, to assist them in ending the invasion before Castle Vyromir is no more.

What’s new?

- No Energy required! Pass through the event portal freely, either solo or with a party!

- Rather than recording your highest score, this year your score will add up each run as long as you complete the scenario and save at least one member of the Royal Family.

- LB’s are class-based, rather than last year’s Solo and Group boards.

- No class or group restrictions! Enter the portal with a group of 4 with any class composition.

- The encounter has been leveled up to Level 86 difficulty!

- The new Vyromir Jewel Vault offers a suite of new Royal Jewels, powerful 'Castle Stones,' and the Wizard's Corrupted Metamorphosis recipe (see more below!).

- New craftable Mythic Pet "Athene"

How to Play



Visit the Page of Vyromir in town to start the questline, then pass through theportal (no energy required) in Windmoore to reach Castle Vyromir, where you'll be greeted by the 4 members of the Arlorian royal family, who desperately need your help to protect the castle.

Unlike other events, however, the fight is coming straight to you, and you'll need to protect the royal family as you slice, dice, and cast your way through several waves of orcs and their leader. Protect these new allies as you fight through the instance either Solo or Multi, and earn points based on: 1) how quickly you complete the instances and 2) how much health the royals have left at the end.

Beware, if they all perish...you will lose (not earn any points) and have to start again.

Leaderboards

Points earned in the instance will help you to climb the Leaderboards for rewards (all rewards are trade-friendly).
