Ten Legendary Years
Event Begins Thursday, April 9th at 1:30PM Texas Time and runs 'til April 23rd
Pocket Legends 10th Birthday Celebration is a "Gauntlet" Leaderboard Competition!
Prizes will be awarded to the Top 25 Ranked Players (on April 23rd).
All Players can collect Event Tokens to purchase Special Vanity items.
Introducing "The Gauntlet"
To Celebrate our 10th Birthday, we are adding a new type of adventure: the Gauntlet!
Face endless waves of increasingly powerful enemies. Defeat them all before time runs out!
Score 10 Points for every enemy and 1 Bonus Point for every second that remains on the clock when the Wave is eliminated.
So kill quickly to score the most points!
NOTE: Unlike previous events The Gauntlet only records your HIGHEST SCORE!
Hosting / Joining the Event Zone
Look for "The Gauntlet" in the Legendary Events Campaign (or say "Let's Play" while talking to Crazy Abe).
"The Gauntlet" is free to Host or Join from the World Map (Level 100+ Recommended but not Required).
PUGS and PARTIES
Public "Gauntlet" event zones require a full party of five (5) Legends to stand within the Starting Circle to begin the challenge.
If you HOST a Private "Gauntlet" event zone with a PASSWORD you can 'Force Start' the challenge at any point!
Introducing Event Tokens!
In conjunction with the new 10th Birthday event we are introducing the concept of 'Currencies' (apart from Gold and Platinum).
During the 10th Birthday celebration you will be able to acquire "Event Tokens" which can be used to purchase special items from the Event Vendor.
This new feature allows us to provide a much wider array of rewards (in this event and) in future events.
A new area of the Inventory will be added (called the 'Satchel') that contains your Event Tokens and all future 'special' currencies.

Prizes for Leaderboard Ranks
+ All of the Top 25 Ranked Players on the 2020 Birthday Event Leaderboard will receive a specially-colored version of the "Decade of Legends" Vanity Set called the "PLX" Set. This special account-bound set includes Vanity Armor, Vanity Helmet and all three types of Vanity Shield.
+ Top 25 Players also receive the "Gritty Grinder" Title.
+ The Top 10 Ranked Players receive the PLX Vanity Set, the "Gritty Grinder" Title and the bright blue "Gauntlet Champion" Title.
+ Top 5 Players get the PLX Vanity Set, the "Gritty Grinder," the "Gauntlet Champion" and the gold colored "Ultimate Legend" Title.
Loot or Leaderboard
+ I think it's important to convey this specific design choice to you so that expectations of loot vs. leaderboard points (and Event Tokens) are properly set:
+ While the Gauntlet has an infinite number of 'waves,' (and technically an infinite number of points to score) it has a fixed number of Bosses.
+ This means there is a limit to how many "boss loot" opportunites you get per Gauntlet run.
+ Gauntlet Bosses are ZALDYRA at Wave 5, RYNKARA at Wave 10, VASTYRA at Wave 15, and KYRASZA at Wave 20. After this no further 'boss' monsters will spawn.
+ Your Event Score and Token rewards will continue to increase as you advance through any number of waves.
+ Remember only your HIGHEST score for the Gauntlet will be recorded. Go as far as you can to get the most points and get the best shot of making it to the Top 25.
+ So the Gauntlet poses an obvious choice: run for Event Points and LB Rank by taking on as many waves as possible, or remake for another shot at boss drops from the limited boss spawns.
Week Two Update!
Special deluxe versions of the Archer, Enchantress, Paladin, Ranger, and Warrior starting vanity items will be made available during the second week of our 10th Birthday Event!
Best wishes, Legends!
