Dragon Rise was an Elsweyr-based event available to players who own the Elsweyr Chapter. The event ran from October 3 until October 14, 2019 and various rewards could be earned by adventuring in Northern Elsweyr and completing certain activities.
A similar event, the Pan-Elsweyr Celebration, was first held in 2021 and was extended to include both Northern and Southern Elsweyr.
Event TicketsEdit
Event Tickets could be earned by killing a boss monster in Northern Elsweyr or rarely from a regular enemy in Northern Elsweyr - limited to two tickets per day per account. A total of 24 Event Tickets were available during this event.
During the event period, The Impresario sold the following items:
- Cadwell Style pages
- Abnur Tharn Style pages
- Ebon-Glow Indrik pet
- All four Indrik Feathers
- All four Onyx Indrik Berries
Elsweyr PathfinderEdit
The primary activity is geared towards players earning the Northern Elsweyr Pathfinder achievement, which requires visiting all of Northern Elsweyr's striking locales. The achievement unlocked by a player (counted once per account, per server) contributes to a running total, which is updated each day of the event. When that total reaches one of three thresholds, a new reward was unlocked. Players who have already unlocked the achievement will be counted towards the grand total:
- 33% — Green Dragon Imp pet
- 66% — Grim Harvester costume
- 100% — Dragon's Treasure Trove (page) furniture item + ten special boxes of loot
These targets were achieved by the fifth day of the event and the rewards were available from the Crown Store in the form of the "Dragon's Rise Reward Bundle" shortly after. The aforementioned boxes of loot for achieving 100% are detailed below.
Nafaalilargus's OfferingsEdit
- "This Offering contains a bevy of loot, including another Offering. There are 10 Offerings in total, and you may open them at your leisure."
Ten boxes of various loot were rewarded to all players once the 100% target was achieved. The first box was named "Nafaalilargus's First Offering", which contained the first batch of loot plus Nafaalilargus's Second Offering. Similarly, the second box contained more loot and third box. This repeated ten times until the tenth and final box was granted. Below are a list of notable rewards that all players were could receive. Some (*) were guaranteed for all players:
