Teleport Obelisk Event

Fresh off the heels and feedback from the very successful Catch Up in Caledonia Event, we're excited to introduce a new temporary RvR feature on Ellan Vannin!

One of the major takeaways from the Caledonia event was the love of its fast action and the ability to quickly get back into the fight. With this new event, we hope to create a similar environment on Ellan Vannin that allows groups to quickly return to the fray!

Depending on the feedback, we may look into making this a permanent fixture on the island!

• An Ellan Vannin Obelisk now stands on the portal pad in each realm's relic town that will teleport players and their group to random open-field locations on Ellan Vannin!
  • Differing slightly from Caledonia, only members within 3500 radius of the obelisk will teleport.
• All other existing teleports to Ellan Vannin are disabled for the event's duration:
  • Master Vaughn and his elementalists, Stor Gothi Dagny and her gothis, and Brerend and his seoltoirs are all taking a well-deserved holiday from teleporting players to their safe locations on the island.
  • Tower of Korazh, Tower of Deifrang, and Tower of Graoch one-way ports are disabled.
  • Knoc Meayll teleports to and from the keep are disabled.
• The Tower of Korazh, Tower of Deifrang, and Tower of Graoch are now ruined for the event's duration.
• Knoc Meayll keep can still be captured normally by the realms and still will be periodically captured by the Manx.
• Ungrouped characters can also use the obelisk to teleport to the ruined areas of Folley Lake, The Trellebourg, or Moydruim Castle (as well as Ellan Vannin still).
  • This is a one-way, random teleport and does not unlock any of the individual ruined area locations, it simply allows players to port into one of the ruined area locations from the relic town obelisk.
• Ruined area ports are now refreshable when all 3 locations have been unlocked and all port-buff durations have been reduced from 6 to 2 hours.
• An anti-camping mechanic has been added to ruined areas.
  • Any grouped characters that remain in the area for longer than 1 minute will take repeated damage until they leave the area for at least 1 minute.
• This event will run until Tuesday, March 30th, 2021.

Traveling Merchants

• The traveling merchants have made their return and now hawk their wares outside Castle Sauvage in Albion, Svasud Faste in Midgard, and Druim Ligen in Hibernia!
• The merchants will remain until Tuesday, March 30th, 2021.
