    zv8omeJ.pngThe eventKrWjene.png


    xjfBpLp.png New Menu Item: There’s a new menu item at the bottom of the expedition overview section that will show you if the event has started. Click it to learn more.

    xjfBpLp.png Four Waves of Monsters: The event consists of four waves, each one in a different place. You’ll need to defeat these waves, one after the other.

    xjfBpLp.png Progress Together: All players work together towards the server’s overall progress. After you defeat every opponent in a wave, the next wave will be released. Two conditions apply:

    Each waves lasts at least 4 days.

    All enemies in a wave must be defeated before the next begins.

    • Example: If a wave is defeated before the minimum time is up, the next wave will only start once that time has elapsed. If it takes longer to defeat it, the next wave will begin immediately afterwards.

    xjfBpLp.png Powerful Boss: The final wave has a powerful event boss. If this boss is defeated, extra strong bonuses will be activated for the whole server.

    xjfBpLp.png Time Limit: You’ll have a limited amount of time to defeat all the enemies and the boss.



    zv8omeJ.pngEvent PointsKrWjene.png


    xjfBpLp.png Event Points: You’ll have 16 event points to use in your battle against the event monsters.


    xjfBpLp.png Restoring Points: Your event points will refill each day at midnight server time.


    xjfBpLp.png Using Points: There is no cooldown between attacks. You can keep attacking until you run out of event points. Depending on the battle, it may take around 3 seconds until you can start the next encounter.


    xjfBpLp.png Using Rubies: You can refill your event points by spending 5 Rubies. Each purchase increases the cost by 5 Rubies for every subsequent top-up. The price increase applies until the Participation Boost has expired (max. 30 minutes), after which time the cost is reset to 5 Rubies.


    xjfBpLp.png Please Note: Event points are not refilled upon levelling up.


    zv8omeJ.pngParticipation Boost/EXP BuffKrWjene.png


    xjfBpLp.png What the Buff Offers

    • During the event, you receive a stackable EXP bonus with each encounter (whether it ends in victory or defeat).
    • This bonus increases the experience you receive by +5% per stack.
    • The buff is only triggered by event location encounters and only applies there.
    • The bonus applies to the basic EXP of the respective encounter.

    xjfBpLp.png Buff Duration & Extension

    • The buff lasts for 30 minutes.
    • Each encounter resets the timer to 30 minutes and increases the number of stacks by +1.
    • As soon as 30 minutes have expired, the buff automatically disappears.
    • Once the buff ends, the increasing Ruby price for refilling event points is reset to 5 Rubies.
    • The maximum number in the stack is 60.


    zv8omeJ.pngMonster WavesKrWjene.png


    xjfBpLp.png These are the waves of monsters you’ll need to defeat. For each victory you’ll be rewarded with some gold, experience, and honour.

    • Wave 1: Cult of the Depths
    • Wave 2: The Defiled Exiles
    • Wave 3: The Restless Dead
    • Wave 4: Lord Maldark, Tormentor of Souls

    zv8omeJ.pngRewardsKrWjene.png


    xjfBpLp.png Milestone Rewards

    • Each event monster you defeat will earn you a point. You’ll need these points in order to meet milestones that unlock various rewards in succession.
    • Each wave has its own segment with a certain number of achievable milestones. Collect points from combat to be able to collect the rewards one after the other. The rewards can only be obtained while the respective segment is active. So, for example, as soon as segment 2 begins, rewards can no longer be collected from segment 1.

    xjfBpLp.png Costume: Defender of the Empire

    • You can earn set pieces for the brand-new Defender of the Empire costume from the milestone rewards.
    • Once acquired, you can wear the costume at any time during the event, as well as for 14 days after the event has ended (until midnight local server time on the 15th day of wearing it). If you were unable to participate in the whole event and missed out on a set item as a result, you will automatically receive a set item as a gift at the end.
    • To activate the costume you will need at least two set items.

    The costume provides the following bonuses:

    • 2 pieces: 30% reduced waiting time for quests and expeditions
    • 3 pieces: 100% faster regeneration of expedition points
    • 4 pieces: 20% more experience on expeditions, dungeons, Underworld and other events (excluding Rise of the Forgotten)
    • 5 pieces: +3% to all basic stats


    zv8omeJ.pngWave RewardsKrWjene.png


    xjfBpLp.png Server-wide reward buffs can be earned for defeating waves. These will be activated after the end of the event:

    • Wave 1: -10% required forging materials (duration: 7 days)
    • Wave 2: +20% Gold from expeditions and dungeons (duration: 7 days)
    • Wave 3: +30% experience from expeditions and dungeons (duration: 7 days)
    • Wave 4: -15% training costs. Once all four waves have been completed, the duration of all buffs increases to 10 days.

  • Note:


    In past wave events, enemies did not respawn once their required number was defeated, which sometimes caused the event to end very quickly.


    This time, the system works differently.
    Even after a wave’s defeat requirement is reached, enemies will continue to respawn until the next wave begins, and leaderboard scoring will continue for the full duration of the wave.


    This is because both conditions must be fulfilled before a wave can end:

    • The minimum duration must pass (4 days).
    • All required enemies must be defeated.

    What this means for you:

    • If players defeat the required number of enemies early, you will NOT run out of enemies to fight. Enemies keep respawning normally while waiting for the minimum time to pass.
    • The next wave only starts once both conditions are met.

    This ensures that players always have content to engage with throughout the entire event, without downtime between waves.

  • Ave Gladiators!


    Unfortunately, the new event "Rise of the Forgotten" will open its gates to hell a bit later than planned.


    The event will now run from the 26.11 until 11.12.


    Thank you for your understanding and patience!

  • Additional information:


    In Rise of the Forgotten, leaderboard ranks are unique to one player each.

    If multiple players finish with the same score, the tie-breaker is determined by who reached that score first:

    • The player who achieved the score earliest receives the higher placement.
    • Any remaining players with that score are placed underneath, sorted by who reached it next.
