    Wasn't sure if I'd missing anything, or its been on a forum / medium that I don't look at. Anyone know anything apart from what's mentioned in the roadmap?

    Has it actually gone live yet?

    I wasn't expecting anything until after the anniversary events finished on 11th May.

    It is live.

    Ralph in Jagged pine has 2 quests:

    lvl 95ish stat food/drink

    Rosalind in PoK has 2 quests:

    plat, minor XP, and the PoStorms quest gives an Air Ele Familiar/pet illusion (no stats)


    Achievement is listed under Events => "Holidays" (though it would make more sense under "Seasonal?")
    Just gives some AA and 10 AP.

    Edit:
    Here's the Elemental Illusion/Familiar:

    Based on the food/drink from previous events (Christmas, Halloween), I'm wondering if something went wrong in itemization here. The food and drink for killing a large amount of ToL scaled mobs (which are still level 90 somehow) is level 90 scaled food/drink. The familiar illusion is the only item that comes out of this, with no stats and is achieved by clicking on four mobs in Storms, vs the grind of the Jaggedpine quests.

    Thanks for putting this quick guide together. The illusion is really cool!

    Hey there! Any chance you could post which servers get these events going forward? We have so many different ruleset servers now, it's hard to know which servers get which events.

    Something like:

    Available on all live servers, Test server, and all servers that have unlocked Secrets of Faydwer+.

    So, nothing for Agnarr?

    The amount of work for Felled by the Rain is ...absurd for such a weak payoff. Its a solid 2 hours of killing for ONE person to get enough to summon the vigrae, and while everyone in the group gets credit for kills, they DONT get credit for summons. (So you still have to kill ~25 mobs PER PERSON just to have enough to do the summons) -These mobs grant no xp at 120, hit like CoV mobs or worse, have as much HP as ToL mobs. (I've seen raid geared Moloing toons get laid out by these) and then lets talk about the Vigrae themselves who come in pairs, hit half again as hard.

    And the reward?

    Uh. What? WHY? WHY?

    and lets talk about Here Comes the Rain....
    about 2 hours of running between zones. (If you're lucky enough to have access to a porter and a GGH that has a lot of city-teleport clickies its somewhat better)

    The Time investment for these quests is totally out of line with the reward.

    Agnarr is a server explicitly made for not getting new content :)

    These quests need a rework, they are not balanced. They hit harder than they should, the 2 in JPF should be shared tasks.
