New Weekly: Dungeons

A new PvE Dungeon Weekly has been added to the game, and will begin Monday May 29th. Players who run level 40 Dungeons Gunbad, Bastion Stair, and their City Dungeon will now passively earn influence towards these rewards.

We've designed this Weekly to mirror the RvR Weekly, and even RvR-focused players can use it to gain an additional Renown Potion or save War Tokens every week. The rewards are:

Basic: Potion of Acclaim or 10 gold or 25 War Tokens
Advanced: 7-day Event Slot item or 50 War Tokens
Elite: Stalwart Soulstone or 50 gold or 100 War Tokens

You can pick up the Dungeon Weekly rewards at new Heralds within every Capital City:

- Altdorf: Markus Wulfhart (Located 32k/48k, Southeast area)
- KaK: Gotrek Gurnisson (Located 36k/37k, Southeast area)
- IC: Herald of Slaanesh (Located 23k/51k, Southwest area)
- K8P: Badruk Eadsplitta (Located 28k/34k, near tunnel to the Stunty Diggin Pit)

In the future we, may expand this Weekly further, so let us know what you think in the comments on the patch notes! More info can be found here on the Wiki page.

Live Event - Sigmartag



Bells toll across the Empire on the 18th of Sigmarzeit, for on this day Sigmar ascended to the heavens to take up his mantle as god. No longer would the men of the Old World have to live in fear of the wilds and children of Chaos, for one of their own was among the divine hosts to watch over the Empire he founded. All citizens of the Empire, praise Sigmar!

Sigmartag is the most important celebration across the Empire, as citizens flock to Altdorf for celebrations full of spectacles and food - especially Sizzling Sausages! Elsewhere, denizens of Chaos pay tribute to their own first Champion, a sad mimicry of Sigmar’s triumph.

This live event will run from May 18th to May 30th, Altdorf noon time. May Sigmar Bless You All.

Rewards
Basic: [Sigmar's Sizzling Sausage], [Balthasar’s Blocking Bacon], [Franz’s Fiery Fishsticks], [Volkmar’s Vigilant Venison], [Harald’s Hearty Ham], [Be’lakor’s Baleful Bacon], [Festus’ Finger-lickin’ Frog Legs], or [Sigvald’s Scrumptious Sausage] - unique limited-time pocket items that give you some bonus, but at a cost. No one said such fatty food was good for the gut.
Advanced: [Hammer of the Goblins Icon] for Order, or [Harry the Hammer's Icon] for Destruction; or a Potion of Acclaim. Trophies can be previewed here .
Elite: [Heldenhammer's Pendant] for the forces of Order, or [Hammerstorm's Pendant] for the forces of Destruction. These are Live-Event-Slot items.

All Live Event rewards are only available from the associated heralds: Arch Lector Kaslain in the Temple of Sigmar, or Sven Bloody-Hand in the Sacellum.

Live Event Quest: Griffon Mounts / Chaotic Origins Disc. You can preview the Mounts here and Magus Disc here. Additionally, players who push to the end of this questline can expect to earn a new cloak here .

Hidden Quests: The Sigmartag festivities have brought with them some trinkets to acquire. How many are there? What do they reward? That is for the curious to find out.

We thank our artists for their continued contribution to RoR. Thanks to their efforts we've added new cloaks, a new magus disc, and a new custom trophy.

Skulls of Fallen Foes and Relics
Every player kill during this event will drop a Skull of a Fallen Foe.

New limited time shrines have appeared in Altdorf's West Temple and near the Inevitable City's Sacellum Arena. Take the skulls you acquire and contribute them here in honor of the gods, and you'll receive a limited time Renown Boost.

The Renown Boost lasts for 8 hours, and by working together as a realm, you can increase the boost even higher. The boosts, and the skills required, are:

Realm Skull Boosts (Per faction, resets every 8 hours):
100+ Skulls: 10% Renown Boost
500+ Skulls: 20% Renown Boost
1000+ Skulls: 30% Renown Boost
2500+ Skulls: 40% Renown Boost
5000+ Skulls: 50% Renown Boost

Heroic Relics

After every 1,000 skulls donated, a Relic will soon spawn in front of either the Reikwald Fortress (Order) or The Maw (Destruction).

This Relic acts as a pairing wide flag running mechanic, and if you can escort your relic all the way to the enemy's shrine (Order runs to Maw, Destro to Reikwald) and place it there, your entire realm in the zone will get an additional 50% Renown Boost, which stacks on top of your normal skull Renown Boost.

Likewise, if you intercept the enemy realm and prevent them from capturing their relic, your realm will earn a 25% Renown Bonus for a successful defense.

Relics must be taken through RvR flagged zones and cannot be pulled into PvE, and with a full 3 maps to traverse, you can set ambushes for your enemy or send scouts ahead to ensure your relic caravan survives the journey. Relics can spawn at maximum once per hour, and are intended to layer in more options for RvR players during this event.

Live Event Shoppe & New Dyes
This Sigmartag we've introduce 30 new dyes, including four new spec dyes themed around the Empire and its distant history. During Sigmartag, Order players can purchase these limited-time dyes from Felicia Grunhaber near the Temple of Sigmar, and Destruction players can shop with Kresla Beingen near the western entrance to the Sacellum.

Dye previews are available here towards the bottom, but please be aware that the colors may apply differently on different base armor colors. We recommend to use an addon such as Pocket Palette to see how this dye will look on your armor, but please note it may take a few days before the add-on is updated. These colors were taken from official publications.

Weekend Warfront: Trial By Fire



The Bright College has long been a target of Tzeentch, who sees himself as the sole master of the Flames of Change. The Masters Vigilant have always had to work hard to keep the pyromancers free from corruption, though recently the rising power of Tzeentch threatens to overwhelm the capabilities of the Masters Vigilant.

Agents of Chaos have somehow infiltrated the Bright College, leaving the Masters Vigilant scrambling to purge the surging corruption. Join your realm in the battle for the heart of the Bright Wizard College in the College of Corruption scenario.

This weekend Trial by Fire will be the weekend warfront from 12:00 on Friday to 12:00 on Monday Altdorf time. You get +50% XP and Renown in the Colleges of Corruption scenario, and extra rewards from completing the event tasks.

Hotfix 19/05/2023

- Fixed an issue with kills not counting for the Pyromancer's Request & Flamespeaker's Gaze quest.
- Fixed an issue with the relic despawning under the bridge in north Praag, and given a small 5 second grace period upon entering PvE to return to the RvR lake.
This should prevent accidentally resetting the relic in most cases.
- The Live-Event Slot Item's Heals-Received stat has been adjusted based on player feedback.
The level 21 item has gone from 4% to 3%;
the level 31 item has gone from 6% to 4%;
the level 40 item has gone from 8% to 5%.

Weekend Warfront: Talabec Massacre



The forces of Destruction have struck deep into the heartland of the Empire, and in doing so they also threaten the autumn harvest. Some battles are won through bloodshed, others are won through starvation. The Empire has rallied its troops, and sent a plea for aid to its allies, in order to repel the invaders from Talabecland.

The Raven Host and its allies are threatening not only the harvest in Talabecland, but also the trade along the Talabec River. Control over the Talabec Dam is crucial to ensure that commerce and communication along the river remain undisrupted. Join your realm in the struggle over the Talabec Dam!

This weekend Talabec Massacre will be the weekend warfront from 12:00 on Friday to 12:00 on Monday Altdorf time. You get +50% XP and Renown in the Talabec Dam scenario, and extra rewards from completing the event tasks.



Realm versus Realm


Keep

- Joining a Scenario while in a friendly keep will no longer keep you unflagged for RvR when returning to the lake. This was never intended in the first place, so for the very few people who were abusing this to spy / gank afk players: only death awaits you now.



Combat and Careers

General Changes and Fixes

- Pets abilties will now show correctly if they have been toggled off.

Eastern Wyvern Hunt



Every year after spring settles in, Eastern Wyverns flock to the west for their breeding season, leaving a foul stench across the Old World. Greenskins scour the lands for 'da bestest wyvern for da big boss', while their enemies seek to cull the wyvern population. Wyvern wings will blot out the sun unless the brave venture out into the wilderness.

The Old World and Ulthuan reek with the stench of Eastern Wyvern eggs, a smell that seems to rile up the greenskins. War may be everywhere, but sometimes you just need to take out your basket and go egg collecting. Who knows what those pesky wyverns have been eating and laying in their eggs.

This live event will run from April 7th to April 17th, Altdorf noon time. Look man, it's an invasive species. Just because they largely coincide with when patching is done to "turn them on" or whatever doesn't mean you should take your time for granted. Everything might just end this week for all we know. Make the best of your time, crack some eggs, get out there and explore the world while it's still here.

Rewards
Basic: [Crate of Bloody Sunz Dyes][Crate of Butcher's Pass Dyes][Mini Eastern Wyvern Eggs] or [Eastern Wyvern Eggs]
Advanced: [Eastern Wyvern Claw][Eastern Wyvern Claw][Eastern Wyvern Claw] [Eastern Wyvern Claw] [Eastern Wyvern Claw][Eastern Wyvern Claw][Eastern Wyvern Claw]
Elite: [Clipped Wyvern Wings] from 2022 seen here , [Shorn Wyvern Wings] at the top of the gallery here , or [Potion of Acclaim]

Easter Egg Hunt or Live Event Quest: Wyvern Mounts / Eastern Wyvern Disc. This year we have added 5 new color variants of the wyvern. You can preview the Mounts here and Magus Disc here. The Ghastly White Eastern Wyvern is only available from the Live Event Quest "The Great White Wyvern" / "Da Great White Wyvern" in Karaz-a-Karak / Karak Eight Peaks respectively.

All Live Event rewards are only available from the associated heralds: Wurrzag Ud Ura Zahubu in Karak Eight Peaks, or Josef Bugman in Karaz-a-Karak.

We thank our artists for their continued contribution to RoR. Thanks to their efforts we've added a new cloak (yes it is different), new wyvern colors, and a new magus disc.

Wyvern Egg Hunt
Those wretched wyverns have laid over 6,200 eggs across the Old World and Ulthuan. Worst of all, somehow those eggs found their way into Karaz-a-Karak and Karak Eight Peaks! That's what you get when you let a slayer decide what's for breakfast.

Tier 1 maps, along with Karaz-a-Karak and Karak Eight Peaks, have Mini Eastern Wyvern Eggs, which contain smaller quantities of rewards and items aimed at lower-level / newer players. Tier 2+ maps (including the side zones of Death Peak, Cinderfall, West Praag, and the Isle of the Dead) have Wyvern Eggs. Wyvern Eggs contain larger quantities of potions and dyes, and a few rare items for you to discover. However, Wyvern Eggs also have a chance to summon a feisty Eastern Wyvern Matriarch, so be careful when egg-hunting!

This year we've moved the Live-Event-Associated mounts, the pesky wyverns, to be exclusive to the Wyvern Eggs. When looting eggs, you have a rare chance to find a special Specked Egg of a colored variety. These eggs can be traded between players, or if you hate wyverns they can be crushed under your foot. Eggs are traded for mounts at the Live Event merchant near the Heralds.

Live Event Shoppe & New Dyes
This Eastern Wyvern Hunt we've introduce 26 new dyes, including two new spec dyes themed around our Greenskin friends. The primary way to find new live event dyes is in the Wyvern Eggs, however some players may find that luck is not on their side and wish to buy dyes from a vendor. During the Eastern Wyvern Hunt, enemy players will drop a Green 'trash' item that players can use to buy dyes from the live event merchant (check your auto-rolls!) Order players will drop 'Teef' for Destruction players; Destruction players will drop 'Fangs' for Order players. Teef and Fangs are tradeable between players.

During the Eastern Wyvern Hunt, players can visit the live-event vendor to trade any Specked Eggs for a colorful wyvern mount, or Teef/Fangs for dyes. Destruction players can find Wrangla Rugrit Onetoof in Da Great Green room in the north of Karak Eight Peaks. Order players can find Ranger Doreksson in the Tavern District of Karaz-a-Karak.

Dye previews are available here towards the bottom, but please be aware that the colors may apply differently on different base armor colors. We recommend to use an addon such as Pocket Palette to see how this dye will look on your armor, but please note it may take a few days before the add-on is updated. These colors were taken from official publications.

Weekend Warfront: Assault on Black Crag



Karak Drazh was once among the mightiest Dwarf strongholds of the World Edge Mountains, but was taken by the Greenskins during the Goblin Wars. Strategically placed at the western end of Death Pass, it guards the approach to Karak Eight Peaks. Today known as Black Crag, it is the most powerful Orc stronghold.

This weekend Assault on Black Crag will be the weekend warfront from 12:00 on Friday to 12:00 on Monday Altdorf time. You get +50% XP and Renown in the Black Crag Keep scenario, and extra rewards from completing the event tasks.
