In-Game

In Game activities will take place from March 16, 2010 through April 26, 2010.

New Events:

  • New Group Quest - Gifts of Steel: Help an overworked apprentice find the perfect gift for his demanding mentor.

  • New Mission - Stealing My Life Back: Gather a group of allies and find Miggles Mistflinger and help him regain control of his life.

  • New Raid Event - Steel Behemoths: It's time for you to gather all of your friends and show Master Smith Karl that flesh and skill are greater than steel and grease.

Returning Events:

  • The Fabled: All of the Fabled foes of the past have once again returned to wreak havoc upon Norrath and beyond!

  • Scavenger Hunt: All of the scavenger hunts from the past have returned! Visit your home city, the Dreadlands, Skyshrine, Thurgadin, Kael Drakkal, The Nexus and the plane of knowledge to participate in those quests.

  • Dragons, Dragons, Dragons Returns: Mighty beasts and children of the crystalline goddess Veeshan, dragons have always commanded the respect and fear of Norrathian adventurers. For years, would-be dragon slayers have coveted the creature's glittering hordes and feared their crushing claws. Prove your mettle in the newest encounter for the 11th anniversary. Make your way through the dragons of Norrath, starting with Lord Nagafen and culminating with the mighty Kerafyrm. Seek Grusal the Emissary of Rallos in Plane of Knowledge to prove your power!

  • Marathon - I.R.A: The Ak'Anon Strike Force is looking for a few good adventurers to help them with their latest project. In their efforts to defeat Meldrath once and for all, these brave gnomes constructed an unstoppable clockwork juggernaut: I.R.A., the Infinitely Regenerative Automaton. Before they unleash I.R.A., however, they need to test it out. Are you up for the challenge? Talk to Whizzlebang Twempt in the Steamfont Mountains for further information.

  • Sprint - I.R.A 2.0!: After the last round of marathon testing, The Ak'Anon Strike Force has fine-tuned the Infinitively Regenerative Automaton. Are you up for the challenge of I.R.A. 2.0? Talk to Whizzlebang Twempt in the Steamfont Mountains to find out more!

  • Endurance - Sacrifice at Sandkeep: Are you ready to make the ultimate sacrifice? Brogan Stonebreaker's latest treasure hunt has gone awry and he needs the help of Norrath's greatest adventurers. Gather a small army and seek him out in South Ro for directions to the Sandkeep and the deadly host of Eothar the Sand Golem. Dougan Merule in South Ro will fill you in on the details.

  • Battle Prowess - The Call of the Gods: In the outer Planes, a new menace stirs. A Herald of Zebuxoruk is gathering groups of Norrath's mightiest heroes to challenge a foe that the Gods themselves cannot defeat. Do you dare answer the call of the Gods and face the Avatar of Despair? See Denlin Merodon in the Plane of Knowledge for the answer.
