In celebration of St. Patrick's Day and running from Today, Thursday March 14th until Tuesday, March 19th, a random-object-generated (ROG) reward awaits those who complete the annual 'Leprechaun Treasure' quest. Please remember - one quest completion per character, per year!
To obtain the quest, level 50s should pay the following poor souls a visit to help them ease their woes.
-
Edmund in Cotswold's tavern
-
Bjorne in Mularn's beer hall
-
Silvadren in Mag Mell's pub
-
As part of the quest, players will be shapeshifted into a realm-specific "leprechaun" but have ALL of their stats debuffed by 75%.
-
But fear not, leprechauns may be weak but they are also nigh impossible to catch: shapeshifted players will also have an unbreakable CC-immunity and speed buff for the duration of the shapeshift.
-
Oh, and we hear the real leprechauns love hiding their treasure around the "maze" areas of each realm. Enjoy some zany RvR throughout the event!
-
The ROG reward is a choice between a ring or a bracer similar to the standard Valentine's Day Imp quest with some slight differences. These ROGs will only allow up to 5 slots for stats but will also have 1 of 6 possible /uses.
-
Players that interact with the 'Leprechaun Treasure' at the realms' mazes will now receive a new One-Time Drop (OTD) reward, Patches' Mug.
-
This OTD can only be obtained once ever on a character (and not a new one each year).
-
Players must be on the 'Leprechaun Treasure' quest to interact with the Leprechaun Treasure and obtain this OTD.
For the duration of the event, an additional 50% RP bonus is active in the areas of Pennine Mountains, Breifine, and Jamtland Mountains on Ywain! On Gaheris, the RP bonus has been added to all 3 capital cities.
For players of all level ranges, there are three pesky little tricksters who are hoping you're not too lucky! A 'charming' reward will be bestowed upon those who have the cunning to out-wit:
-
Killaghe in Albion
-
Daighu in Midgard
-
Iollarme in Hibernia
The "Luck of a Leprechaun" quest can be obtained from the following:
-
Sir Prescott in Cotswold
-
Hrolf in Mularn
-
Epona in Mag Mell
Once again, this event will conclude on Tuesday, March 19st!
We wish you a happy and safe St. Patrick's Day!

The 21st of December is here, and what better way to celebrate the holiday spirit than grabbing some gifts from our Twelve Days of Midwinter gift giveaway!

Each day's reward will be revealed around 5:30 AM EST / 11:30 AM CET and last the remainder of that day.
-
In order to obtain your gifts, you must have the required number of inventory slots available for that day’s rewards.

If you’ve skipped one or more days, you will be simultaneously granted each previous missed day’s rewards in addition to the gifts for that day.
-
If you wait until the twelfth and last day of the giveaway to receive your gifts, you will need 22 available inventory slots, so please make sure that you have enough free space!
-
These rewards are limited to level 50s on veteran accounts, and may only be obtained once per character.
