    It's time! Elondria needs your aid!

    Ursoth is back again. Bloodgrub is spreading her corruption throughout Arlor
    ...and the Elondrian Rangers need your help!
    Help them fight off Bloodgrub's corruption and return Elondria to its natural splendor!


    Ursoth's Assault starts on Thursday, 2/27/2025 ~1:30 PM CT ending on Thursday, 3/13/2025 at 1:30pm CDT with a 3 day cooldown.


    How to Play

    Energy is used to enter the portal to fight Ursoth's Assault bosses.
    One energy point will refill automatically every 8 hours.
    Refill your energy faster by collecting energy essences from monsters around Arlor and crafting them into energy kits.
    Bosses will drop an entire energy point to fill one energy slot - but rarely!
    Or, purchase Energy Kits from other players via the Consignment Shop for gold.
    You may also buy energy for platinum at the Elondria token vendor or the portal in town.


    Farmer's Elixir

    The Farmer's Elixir increases chances to loot event-specific items, increases event points earned by 15%, and increases tokens earned! Duration: 10m (stacking)

    Bosses


    Enter the portal in Elondria. Defeat the corrupted bosses to earn loot and tokens!
    Trade tokens to the vendor for items and vanities.
    There are 5 bosses to fight in Ursoth's Assault. Harder bosses may appear at higher tiers.
    Defeat bosses to earn points and progress through the tiers: Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum:

    + Herond the Forest Sprite
    + Europhex the Basilisk
    + Helena, Lady of the Forest
    + The Great Troll Ursoth

    Bosses have a chance to drop things like...

    - Event Crafting Components
    - Verdant Wraith Stone
    + 1% Leech (Limited to 1 stack, Can't be removed)



    - Verdant Scourge Wings

    Dev Notes on Pestilence

    - Due to Pestilence's AA, it does a lot more damage than our traditional pets.
    - When Pestilence's AA is active it has a unique aura!
    - As Pestilence has a high damage output its player bonuses are lower than other pet bonuses.

    Can we please make it so recipes won't get consumed when crafting items?
    It's so dumb. Recipes should be a 1 time purchased/farmed item.
    It's already hard enough to farm all the materials...

    Please go back to having all event items in 1 locked crate.
    We don't want a specific locked crate for each different event item.

    Event pets need better happiness bonus stats.
    You can't just give a pet 100% primary stats and have all other stats low lol.

    The description of the amulet says that a charged attack of the weapon drops a Blood Crystal Bomb, and this crystal grants great buffs. However, the crystal is deployed for only about 1 second (as you said it shatters instantly) in the .gif. Does this mean that the buff from it also lasts only 1 second?

    Tier rewards are really underwhelming.
    Vanity items look really basic.
    Elite awake gems are just not wanted.
    Farmer elixirs also not wanted but you guys give it to players to push them to buy them with platinum.

    For platinum tier reward we need a pet.
    Arcane tier with decent stats.

    Now we have legendary pets with bad stats when you get gold tier.
    Which nobody uses and just collects dust in your stable collection.

    Hp leech is insanely op at lower levels and some maps in higher levels. Don't ruin your lower pvp brackets with hp leech. Its an insanely op stat to have in certain situations.

    I can already say the amulet proc should be on damage not after quick kills. No one likes that proc mechanism.

    It would be nice if you guys can tell us how long the crystal overdrive buff lasts for?
    No information about it.

    Agreed. This buff seems really good against bosses.
    When you fight a boss, most of the time there's no enemies/mobs to kill.
    So you won't be able to activate this buff then.
    That's just weird and useless.

    Nice vanity's! The heroic Pestilence is green, is the purple circle intended? If so cool, perhaps a green glow would fit also

    For future references in the mage vanities could you edit them to go according to the aesthetics of a mage? It's just a copy and paste of warr's which doesn't fit into a mage, they could put a robe or something that proves he's a mage

    Store aura is too basic.
    When you ask 1700 platinum (60 euros) for an aura, you better make it look amazing.
