Our new event starts now! Decide your path, but decide carefully. Not everything is as it seems!
Whisperings across the realms tell of strange deals being made. Deals which affect the power struggle between good and evil in our very frontiers. Players are urged to exercise caution when hunting around the far regions of the realms:
-
Caer Benowyc – and surroundings
-
Bledmeer Faste – and surroundings
-
Dun Crauchon – and surroundings
-
The entirety of Ellan Vannin
Strangely, these regions seem to sit on crossroads. Surely that is nothing more than chance?

The three realms have had their focus on their tactics and strategy - attack and counter-attack. Engaging in the maelstrom of combat and striking back with realm pride in their heart and vengeance channeled through their blades, staves, arrows, and imbued in their wielded magic. As they fight, reports have reached realm commanders of sinister invaders that have found their way into the Frontiers. Dispatch couriers vanish, realm guards are found hewn and mauled, and a heightened state of fear and anger is spreading through realm forces: The Doppelgangers have returned!
Expeditions across the frontiers report increased Doppelgangers sightings throughout the maze areas. Even the most hardened and long-time veteran realm guards in Breifine, Pennine Mountains, and Jamtland report that they have not seen such numbers in invasions past. A call to arms is made, and a bounty awaits those who would muster their courage, summon their realm mates, and rid the land of this foul menace
Alerted to the danger, the kings of the realms have placed a bounty on Doppelgangers in order to dispel these forces, before it's too late.
-
A new daily group credit quest has been added to both Ywain and Gaheris servers requiring players to hunt down and cull the Doppelganger numbers for a reward of 10 Invader Seals.
-
Doppelgangers have a rare chance to drop additional Invader Seals regardless of the quest being active or not.
-
Each character can only benefit from a max of 300 seals.
-
Doppelganger spawn rates have been increased at their existing locations and more locations have been added at each realm's maze and throughout Breifine, Pennine Mountains, and Jamtland Mountains.
-
Doppelgangers now spawn on Gaheris for the duration of the event and will award the identical RP and BP amounts as they do on Ywain.
-
Rewards can be claimed at the Doppelganger Traitor at the strength relic town or in capital cities, and are unlocked at the following thresholds:
-
10 seals = 1 Elixir of Conquest
-
25 seals = 2 Elixirs of Conquest
-
75 seals = 1 25% Realm Point Bonus potion (3 charges)
-
125 seals = 1 Draught of Conquest
-
175 seals = 1 50% Realm Point Bonus potion (3 charges)
-
225 seals = 2 Draughts of Conquest
-
300 seals = 1 50% Realm Point Bonus potion (30 charges)
-
Doppelganger spawn locations that were too close to outposts have been moved further away or to a new area.
-
Invader Seals earned from the previous Doppelganger Invasion event will not count towards this event.
-
The Doppelganger Traitor NPC found in the capital cities (only this one!) is also offering a way to expedite the event at a significant discount to the normal price of the event's mithril rewards!
Players should speak with the Doppelganger Traitor at relic towns or in their capital cities to start this quest.
-
All rewards and invader seals are no-trade, no-drop, no-destroy, and no-sell.
-
Any leftover invader seals on a character will be removed at the end of the event and cannot be transferred to other characters.
-
The Doppelganger Invasion event will come to an end on Tuesday, June 21st.

The killer bunny makes his annual return!
-
Collect and choose your Gem of the Harbinger reward!
-
Remember, the gem no longer drops as a One-Time-Drop and instead is a loot-choice on the Rites of Spring quest.
-
Killing the Harbinger of Spring mob (battlegroup-credit) still grants the quest automatically.
-
There will be no item exchange service for the Gem of the Harbinger or any of its variants, choose carefully!
-
Players who defeat the Harbinger should be careful, or they'll find themselves forever reminded of the battle!
-
The Festival Steward returns with her repeatable '[Spring] Preparations' quest!
-
Check out the Event Shop in the capital city to pick up your spring-themed shield pattern!
-
Enjoy bonuses with this event!
Read on for the full details!
The Rites of Spring event and bonuses will be active until Tuesday, May 3rd

St. Patrick's Day Event
Are you feeling lucky?
In celebration of St. Patrick's Day and running from now until Tuesday, March 22nd, a random-object-generated (ROG) reward awaits those that can complete the annual 'Leprechaun Treasure' quest. One quest completion per character, per year!
To get the quest, level 50s should pay the following poor souls a consoling visit:
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 Valentine's Day event 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 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, the event will run until Tuesday, March 22nd.
A happy and safe St. Patrick's Day to one and all, and we'll see you in the Frontiers!
