Story
Current Event Information ------------------------------------------------------------------ The sixth annual Summer Solstice Celebration has begun! The main event involving the Church of Taran can be started by typing 'event start 140'. It is appropriate for players of all levels. Although the event areas refer to actual places within the game, you can only access event zones via the 'event start' command. Due to popular demand, not one but TWO versions of the Puzzlewood Forest are available for play! One is a high level group area with waves of monsters of increasing strength called "Shooting the Curl", and the other is a single player autolevelling area called "Endless Waltz". To complete the "Shooting the Curl" challenge, you must survive 41 waves of monsters. They need not be consecutive, but if a "Shooting the Curl" instance washes, then the waves will restart at Wave 0 in any new instance. You receive credit for slaying monsters that are of equal or greater wave than the quest you're currently working toward. For example, if you are working on Wave 2 (as indicated in your 'quests' command) and join a group that is working on Wave 10, then you will receive credit for Wave 2. For the "Endless Waltz" version of the Puzzlewood, you must defeat 1500 monsters. Monsters in the "Endless Waltz" area will autolevel to be a challenge for your level but will not increase in strength (unless you level up). You can leave the area and start a new instance at will, and will pick up where you left off in the monster death count. The final quest of each Puzzlewood area will yield a ring of endless possibilities, an item that will scale to your level and can be randomized on demand. ------------------------------------------------------------------ (see 'show schedule' for a schedule of events) Current display mode: IN_PROGRESS There are open event areas! Use the 'event list' command to see them.
