Preview - Valentine's Day 2022: Everlasting Lovecraft!
Everyone could use a hug now and then, and none more than the legendary Hugthulu and Hugthulu Prime. They're back, but it's up to you if you'll accept their deadly embrace.
Getting Started
Speak to Cupid in Windmoore to learn more about the Lovecrafting Event and the huggable threat that Arlor faces. He'll direct you to the portal where you can spend energy to enter the event zone.
Note on Energy Drops: fight monsters at or above your character level to get the best Energy Essence drop rate. Fighting creatures below your level means a lower drop chance for Essence.
Once you're inside the event zone, you can purchase the event Bane Item, the Enthralled Talisman. This item will prevent Hugthulu's tainted love barrels from damaging and slowing you.
Make your way through the map defeating enemies and the Merfkin mini-boss to collect L, O, V, and E candy letters. These can be crafted into event tokens, or a Love Letter to summon the second boss, Hugthulu Prime (more on him in a second).
Then, get ready for a fight! Hugthulu awaits.
Head back to Windmoore to chat with Remmi Amor for quests to gain extra tokens. She has 3 quests (2 daily) to complete.
Timeline
This two-week event will begin on Thursday, February 10th and run through Thursday, February 24th, with a 3 day cooldown.
