Happy 12th Birthday Arlor!


It's time to party legends! Arcane Legends has been going strong for 12 years! Now, that's worth a big celebration! We'll be partying for two (2) weeks starting November 7th at 1:30 PM CST.


Cake

What is a birthday celebration without cake? To get started, put on your party hats and head out to defeat monsters all over Arlor! Foes (that are no more than 10 levels below you) will drop cake slices to collect.




Craft your slices into larger and larger cakes, or loot cakes of all sizes from Arlor bosses (also no more than 10 levels below you). But don't dig in right away! Take your cakes to the nearest town or your guild hall, because birthday cakes of all sizes will explode and grant items to you and 4 nearby players!




Here's the breakdown:


- Small Cake Loot -

For you: 1 Birthday Token, 1-3 score points
For 3 others: 5x Health Potion or 5x Mana Potion
For 1 other: a slice of 12th Birthday Cake


- Medium Cake Loot -

For you: 5 Birthday Tokens and a chance to loot Birthday Balloons for your house, 4-7 score points
For 3 others: 1000 Gold!
For 1 other: a Small 12th Birthday Cake


- Large Cake Loot -

For you: 25 Birthday Tokens and a chance to loot the Birthday Banner for your house, 8-12 score points
For 3 others: a random weak or damaged Jewel!
For 1 other: a Medium 12th Birthday Cake


- Grand Cake Loot -

For you: 100 Birthday tokens, 13-18 score points plus a chance to loot...

Lightweave Halo

Event Points & Tiers


Cakes will also grant you a range of Event Points to climb through 3 tiers of birthday fun!


Legendary (Bronze - 375 Points):

- [Cake Coordinator] Title



- 25 Birthday Tokens


Mythic (Silver - 750 Points):

- Pearlescent Banner



- 100 Birthday Tokens


Arcane (Gold - 2250 Points):

- 12 Badge



- 500 Birthday Tokens
- Jewel Chest
- 10 Awakening Gems


Event Zone: 25 Player Battle vs the Birthday Dragon!





Complete the Jarl's initial quests to access East Windmoore where the powerful party dragon Arcanax awaits! Up to 25 players can enter the zone and take on Arcanax. He will respawn every five (5) minutes.




Defeating the dragon will give you a chance to collect:

- Small, Medium, and Large Cakes
- 19-25 score points
- 10 Birthday Tokens
- The lootable Arcanax Badge!




A few notes on the Arcanax encounter:

- It's Hardcore-friendly! This golden dragon just wants to make you dance around and turn you into cake... he's not going to kill you (or even hurt you - except maybe your pride).
- Damage values are irrelevant when attacking Arcanax. Each hit that you, your friends, and your pets land on Arcanax will reduce his HP by one (1)... because we want Legends at all levels to be able to play together and contribute to the goal.
