Update: The Ghost Keep event and Ellan Vannin portal ceremony, Buggane's Obelisk buff, and keep changes will remain in effect until patch 1.123 when permanent solutions will be addressed.
Springtime is here again, and with the warmth and renewed bloom of the landscape an ancient menace returns!
The deceptively cuddly Harbinger of Spring has found its way onto Ellan Vannin. The Kings of the Realms have placed a bounty on this beast for any who wish to drive the menace out of their lands and to collect the coveted Gem of the Harbinger!
Additionally, we have the following changes to the Ghost Keep event to announce and of course, some RvR bonuses for you!
The Rites of Spring event and these bonuses will continue through Monday, May 1st.
Visit the following to receive the Rites of Spring quest:
Sir Yvain in Castle Sauvage or in the Catterick Hamlet relic town
Sinfjotli Sigmundarson in Svasud Faste or in the Godrborg relic town
Fionn mac Cumhaill in Druim LIgen or in the Crair Treflan relic town
Remember, the quest is battlegroup credit and also automatically given upon defeating the Harbinger of Spring so don't worry if you forgot to grab it!
Note: All characters will be able to obtain the Gem of the Harbinger and Bracelet of Springtime Folly, even if they got one last year!
Battleground players, don't forget to speak with Lady Mirabelle in Castle Sauvage, Svasud Faste, or Druim Ligen in order to obtain the Egg Hunt quests!
Additionally, this year marks the return of the Spring Egg Trophy quest. Simply complete any of the Egg Hunt battleground quests or the Rites of Spring quest to be eligible for and offered it.
The Garden Nest and Flower Box trophies will spruce up any home's garden!

Ghost Keep Event Changes
-
When a realm completes the initial Ancient NPCs' quests by reaching the threshold first, the Ghost Keep Lord will now immediately spawn and offer the Grave Honor quest.
- The Ghost Keep Summoner will no longer spawn and there will no longer be a Summoning phase after the initial quests are completed.
- The Wraith and Reaper quest givers will also immediately spawn after the Ancient NPCs' quest threshold is reached.
- The threshold for completing the Ancient NPCs' quests in each realm has been tripled.
- These changes should streamline the event and help encourage active participation at each stage!
