I am only disappointed that some anniv item are so expensive, would have been expected it would be for free!
It's in the article. "Once you are ready, look for the shinies in the tower, they will lead the way!"
The Tower events begin in NORTH Ro. It is found at the ocean on the very southern end of the zone. The tower is in the air but access is by stepping on the platform beneath and with curser touching the platform. Once in the tower, observe the merchant on the first level. Then go up the gently winding stairs and observe a door with a large key hole. At the base of the door is a shiny, shimmering pale blue and white. Pick it up. It is a key shaped container. You will need an open general slot. Clicking on the key gives you a task: to collect three items from South and North Ro. Defeating special orcs, sand giants, and undead gives you the components to make the key complete when combined.
Can you tell us which Heroic Adventures (HA) will give the new currency? Or is it all HA's? This information wasn't in the later announcements, is it still correct?
Like Marks of Valor or Remnants of Tranquility are for specific HA, this alt currency is just for the Tower HA. And the gnoll collects and future other zone collects associated to the Tower
