Spooky things are happening in Taborea

Spooky things are happening in Taborea




Halloween is approaching and the creepy creatures of the night are getting ready for that night practising all their tricks, pranks and mischievous acts.
During the next two weeks, we recommend to all inhabitants of Taborea to pay attention where they go and stay alert, since we can never know what the witches, zombies and creepy pumpkins are going to do next.
Prepare yourself for some treats, events, contests and of course prizes during the next two weeks and up to the night of the witches (October 31st). You will find all the information you need in this thread. Keep an eye on it for more events!

Messages from beyond…



Not only are weird things happening in Taborea in these dark nights, but things are also appearing.
The witches and ghosts of Taborea seem to be putting stuff into people’s mailboxes.
Between October 17th and October 31st, some presents will be delivered each day to your mailbox.

The first character from your account you log in with that day will receive the present of the day.

Each day has one present assigned which you will receive if you log-in that day, however, skipping one of the days doesn't affect the rest.
There will different gifts, from some scary transformation potions, to some consumables and buff food!

We’ve found some issues with one of the events and its announcement has been disabled until we solve it. It will be enabled again as soon as possible with any changes we might have to make.

Thank you for your patience. :)

You can visit them in Varanas Central Plaza between 21.10.2014 at 15:00 CEST* and 27.10.2014 at 10:00 CET* and exchange some items for their rewards.

More experience, talent points and a better drop!


Have you ever had that nightmare where your character is forever stuck in the same level?
To keep the nightmares away during these scary days we’ve prepared for you a week full of boosts for your characters.



  • Between October 24th (10:00 local time) and October 27th (23:55 local time) you will gain +100% Experience from quests and mobs, +250% talent points from mobs, and a +100% boost in drop rates.
  • Between October 28th (00:05 local time) and November 2nd (23:59 local time) you will gain + 200% Experience form quests and mobs, +500% talent points from mobs, and a +200% boost in drop rates.

Please note that between the two phases of boost event there are a few minutes when no boost is active.

May your worst nightmares never come true!


Information update 24/10/2014:
Local time refers to the timezone the servers are set to. For US servers this is Pacific Time.
Although the AU server runs on US time setting too its setting has been adapted to match AU time (could be off by 1h though).
=> The event starts on US servers except Thalia on October 24th 10am Pacific time.
=> On Thalia it started 10am AU time which is ~18-19h earlier and should already be running.

Who let the brooms out?

Taborea has been already invaded by the Mighty Alpaca once, now it seems someone thought it funny to let the brooms roam free around the world.
Once again we feel the need to call out for all the adventurers to help taming the brooms and keeping them under control. The best way to do this is to manage to make them follow a designated path and try to make it fast!
So come and join us in a broom race in the Yrvandis Hollows. Get on your Witch Broom, follow the track and try to make it first, so you can keep your tamed mount for yourself.



We will open a portal at the Varanas Bridge to get you there. The race will start at Revival Grounds and will follow the whole way up to Taffrock Outskirts - South. You will need to cross each checkpoint as fast as you can to show you have mastered the broom. The checkpoints will be marked with ghostly decorations and they will be in confined spaces so you don’t need to worry about getting close enough to them.


When does this nonsense start? I want to participate!
Sunday 26/10
Artemis 7PM Eastern
Govinda +20 minutes
Osha +20 minutes
Grimdal +20 minutes (8 PM Eastern)
Reni +20 minutes
Indigo + 20 minutes
Palenque + 20 minutes (9PM Eastern)
Thalia - early next week due to timezone difference to fit into AU evening.

Prizes
The winners (the three first arriving to the final goal) will receive a permanent broom mount: You’ll get to chose between the Witch Broom Mount OR Drag-3000 Mount, one piece of spooky furniture:
Witch Decoration (Furniture – 5 TP Bonus)
OR Ghostly Hymn Decoration (Furniture – 5 TP Bonus)
OR Ghostly Landscape Decoration (Furniture – 5 TP Bonus)
OR Pumpkin Candle Light Decoration (Furniture – 5 TP Bonus)
and 5 Delicious Pumpkin Rice to keep you strong.

But of course, no one loses in this madness: so every participant will receive a 7-day Witch Broom Mount for the race, a 7-day Little Pumpkin Pet Egg, 5 Magic Little Biscuit, 5 Surprising Broth and 10 Megaphones.

Rules and additional information
  • You will have to use the Witch Broom to participate. If you use any other kind of mount you will be disqualified.
  • You have to pass through ALL of the checkpoints to receive your prize. If you don’t, you’ll be disqualified.
  • Anything else is allowed, speed pot? Ok. Riding your witch broom backwards? Sure!
  • Crashes are considered part of the show, this race is not as much about the competition itself as it is about having fun with this second episode of this weird event. If you fall from your mount, just get back on!
  • Make sure you are at the start of the race on time. There will only be one round of items giveaway, so if you are not there on time you won’t get your 7-day Witch Broom to participate.
  • Screenies and videos of this event as souvenirs are more than welcome.

Unfortunately some servers took a bit longer than others and we ran into a few snags.

Indigo and Palenque have been postponed until tomorrow, before siege war tomorrow evening.

Thalia will also be still early next week to correspond to their time zone matching up.

Apologies for the inconvenience.

Hello all,

We're planning on making up the Indigo and Palenque visits in about an hour, after this round siege war ends.

We'll announce our presence and give extra time for people to show up!

The XP/TP boost will be prolonged for another day until 03.11.2014 23:59 CET PT due to todays maintenance taking so long (EU side issue - boost prolongation will be global). Have fun :)

If nothing unforseen happens we will visit Thalia for the quick broom race today around noon-1am CET (+8-10h for AU) ... so it should be 20-22:00 there.


More events are to come to all servers, though... stay tuned :)

Taborea needs your help!



The Mages of the Eye of Wisdom were doing their research with portals as usual when something happen.
Apparently, the ghosts of Taborea found it funny to change the tags in the bottles of the researchers, so when the mages tried to open one of their regular portals, a new dimension full of monsters found its way into the Savage Lands.
We need your help, warriors! We need to fight off these monsters before they spread around!
Come fight with us!
Join us in the path between Green Tower and Naga Camp, together we can defeat this invasion!



This will happen tonight and tomorrow evening/night.

Today (Sunday 02/11):

Artemis
Govinda
Osha

Starting at 8 PM Eastern time on Artemis - Scrollbanners are on the way for today's servers.
(If we land in the middle of a siege somewhere we'll take the time during a running siege to prepare some things and start in the middle or towards the end of the siege - it will run long enough that siege participants can come take part in it either way.)

Reni,Palenque and the 2 PvP servers Indigo and Grimdal will follow tomorrow.

Thalia will be done during the week due to the time difference, probably around noon/1pm CET again like the broom race.
