Doppelganger Invasion Event Returns

Posted by Community | 2024 Aug 29 22:51 -0400 GMT
After battling against, or for, the demonic scourge that reigned havoc across the lands, the realms have begun to settle. But it's in times like this, this preoccupation, that sees another foe poised to take advantage to increase its power, and strike!

Recent Doppelgangers behavior has puzzled researchers across the land. Long-time veteran realm guards in Breifine, Pennine Mountains, and Jamtland report that they have not seen or heard reports of Doppelgangers these past few days. A call to arms is made, and a bounty awaits those who would muster their courage, summon their realm mates, to find out what this evil is planning 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 daily group credit quest has returned 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 in Hadrian's Wall, Odin's Gate, Emain Macha, and Ellan Vannin.
    • New Doppelganger spawn locations have been added to Hadrian's Wall, Odin's Gate, Emain Macha, and Ellan Vannin.
    • Doppelgangers have been removed from the areas of Breifine, Pennine Mountains, and Jamtland Mountains for the duration of the event.
  • 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 = 1x Elixir of Conquest
    • 25 seals = 1x Doppelganger Consignment Merchant
    • 75 seals = 1x 50% Realm Point Bonus potion (3 charges)
    • 125 seals = 1x Draught of Conquest
    • 175 seals = 1x 100% Realm Point Bonus potion (3 charges)
    • 225 seals = 1x Starlight Weapon Token
    • 300 seals = 1 50% Realm Point Bonus potion (30 charges)
  • Doppelganger realm point reward has been doubled.
  • 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!

Doppelganger Lords

While repairs continue on the merchant keeps, Doppelgangers have quietly situated themselves within the ruins. This is strange behavior, even for a Doppelganger. Adventurers must take care when entering these keeps, for few know what else lies within?!


 

A new quest has been added requiring players to defeat the Progenitor Doppelgangers at Caer Benowyc, Bledmeer Faste, Dun Crauchon, and on Ellan Vannin.
  • This quest is repeatable, BG credit within the Crossroads regions, and awards realm points. Does not auto renew.
Note: The quest's objective is to kill the Doppelganger Lord in each of its 4 locations, and provides a separate reward. The quest is not necessary to spawn and kill the Doppelganger Lord, as killing Doppelgangers and realm enemies is the objective of the event, and you may spawn the Lords, and receive area rewards with or without the quest. 

  • Killing players and Doppelgangers within an area will cause a Progenitor Doppelganger Lord to spawn on the keep roof, or, if on Ellan Vannin, the center of the island.
  • Only one Doppelganger Lord may be up at a time.
  • Once a Doppelganger Lord has been killed, players killed within that Crossroads region will be worth more realm points for 15 minutes.
  • This Realm Point boost can be refreshed by killing a Doppelganger Lord in the same Crossroads region. Work swiftly for if the Doppelganger Lord meets with defeat too many times, it will abandon the ruined keep at which it is situated and take up a position in another realm or on the island of Ellan Vannin. 
  • Killing a Doppelganger Lord awards area credit realm points. On Ellan Vannin, this area has a radius around the center that does not extend beyond the milegates. The area is quite large, but be aware that it does not reach the outskirts of the map.

Event Port Movement

The ability to port to a random location within Hadrian's Wall, Odin's Gate, or Emain Macha has been added to the relic town's portal Obelisk.


A 50% realm point bonus has been activated in the regions of Hadrian's Wall, Odin's Gate, Emain Macha, and Ellan Vannin for the duration of the event.

Players should speak with the Doppelganger Traitor at relic towns or in their capital cities to start these quests.
  • All event rewards and invader seals are no-trade, no-drop, and no-sell. They are destroyable however are required in order to turn in for rewards.
  • 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 Thursday, October 10th, 2024.
