What is Catch Up in Caledonia?

When does the event start and end?

How does the event work?

• For the duration of the Caledonia event, newly created level 1 characters will be automatically zoned into the Caledonia battleground where they will vie for control against the enemy realms!
  • This will be the ONLY way to get inside the battleground zone. Once inside, characters can voluntarily leave but CANNOT return!
  • Once inside the event, players can speak with the Event Coordinator NPC to "catch" up to level 30 and receive a quest for free NPC buff tokens and 3,000 bounty points to spend on gear/items/pots. (Hint: speaking with the Caledonia Obelisk to receive the XP buff before leveling up will speed up the level process)
  • All monsters, center-keep guards, and siege weapons are removed for the event. The only way to progress is by defeating realm enemies in battle and completing the related quests.
  • Charm-pet classes will be able to create a pet to charm at their realm's portal keep.
• Experience, bounty, and realm point bonuses will be granted to both free and subscribed accounts in the battleground to help them progress!
• Earn bounty points for completing quests and defeating enemy realm players and use them to purchase level-appropriate gear as you strive to 50 and then master and champion levels!
• All characters will begin and remain in the same Caledonia zone for the entirety of the event.
  • The following level caps will be in place for all characters in Caledonia and will increase as follows every 24 hours:
    • Day 1 (Wednesday): Level 39 
    • Day 2 (Thursday) : Level 49
    • Days 3-6 (Fri-Mon): Level 50
  • Characters that reach the day's level cap will still be able to earn realm and bounty points. However, please note that there are realm point hard caps to each level and should you hit the realm point cap, you will stop gaining realm points until you progress in levels.
• Characters that are 5 levels or more below the day's level cap will receive the Caledonia Boost buff.
  • This buff greatly increases the damage dealt and greatly reduces damage received from characters that do not have the buff (higher level characters)!
  • Characters with the Caledonia Boost buff active will also DOUBLE the XP and BP rewards for themselves and their group!
  • When the level cap reaches 49 the buff will be given out to characters 3 or more levels under the cap.
• Overwhelming Force is turned on for this event. Here's how it works:
  • When 1 realm outnumbers another by 3 to 1 odds or more and has at least 25+ members in the area of the kill(s), the deathspam will change to "killed by overwhelming force!" and the following restrictions will apply:
    • Quest kill-credit will not be given for overwhelming force kills.
    • Realm points are also drastically reduced for overwhelming force kills.
    • This system is designed to encourage groups to roam around separately more during the event!
    • These restrictions only apply within Caledonia and not in any other RvR zone.
