Live Event: Twilight's Tide



The dreaded time of year has come once again when Sariour na Yenlui thins the veil between the Realm of Chaos, and the known world. Archmages strengthen wards on ancient menhirs, while Asur hosts assemble to face the daemonic onslaught. Only superior elven craftsmanship will see Ulthuan through another Twilight’s Tide.

During the Age of Reckoning the Asur armies are spread thin. Phoenix King Finubar has taken a large portion of Ulthuan's warriors to answer the Empire's call for aid, leaving Prince Tyrion to defend Ulthuan against all threats with a fraction of the isle's defenders. Thus, this year's Twilight's Tide puts an even greater strain upon the Asur defenders of Ulthuan. As such, the mastersmiths and jewelers of Ulthuan have agreed to help craft powerful rings for the elves and their allies, rings to help hold back the tide of Destruction. The Dark Elves however are not ones to be outdone and seek to monopolize the opportunity to strike at a weakened foe. Malekith believes he can use the daemons to his advantage and then bind them to his will, and should they grow too troublesome he can always ask his 'loyal' allies to help deal with the daemonic threat.

Twilight’s Tide marks the time of year when Morrslieb is closest to the known world, a dangerous time of year when the daemons of Chaos flood into the known world, with a particular focus on Ulthuan and the ancestors of Aenarion. Meanwhile, the dreaded Druchii are never ones to miss an opportunity to strike at a distracted foe.

Twilight's Tide will start on July 18th and last until August 4th.

Elite reward: [Potion of Acclaim], the Cloak of Twilight for the forces of Order, or Cloak of Shadowy Tendrils for the forces of Destruction. Cloak previews are available here.

All Live Event rewards are only available from the associated heralds: Morlian Shadowsight in the Altdorf War Quarters, or Plykar Flayedhand in the Inevitable Slaanesh Chambers.

Twilight's Tide Rings
The main element of this live event is the ability for players to craft their own rings, tailored to their needs. 40 combinations have been made, which across four tiers (levels 11, 21, 31, and 40) and four rarity brackets (green, blue, purple, red) equals 440 rings. Upon being crafted rings will have a talisman slot intended for unique live-event talismans, though the rings will decay after 30 days and turn into a permanent ring without a talisman slot. The talismans only work on these event rings for balance purposes.

Twilight's Tide Professions
During Twilight's Tide elven smiths will share the secrets of their craft - all for your realm's greater glory! The basic reward for this live event consists of three writs: one for an ore-refiner; one for a jewelsmith, an one for an artificer. These professions allow players to refine raw materials into a refined product which can be used to craft a ring or talisman.

Ore-refiners can turn metal ore into metal bars. The metal of a ring determines its defensive property. Silver increases spiritual resistance predominantly. Gold increases elemental resistance predominantly. Copper increases corporeal resistance predominantly. Platinum increases all resistances evenly. Iron increases armor instead of resistances for those who shun the ways of magic... and grow beards.

Jewelsmiths can turn unrefined gems into refined gemstones to set in a ring. Gemstones determine the primary stats a ring will have, with the secondary stat typically being wounds. Sapphires grant intelligence. Rubies grant strength. Emeralds grant will power. Amethyst grant toughness. Diamonds grant wounds with a secondary of toughness. Topaz grants ballistics skill. Citrine grants initiative. Onyx grants weapon skill.

Artificers can harvest damned souls for shards of aethyr, that is the Winds of Magic. Two different Winds of Magic can be bound by the artificer into a volatile talisman. No amount of skill can force the Winds of Magic to remain bound together, so these talismans will decay in time.

Refined resources are treated as crafting items and go into your crafting bag!

Players can only choose one profession, so they must work with others to refine all three types of raw materials! All refining attempts can yield four rarities of a refined product, ranging from uncommon (green) to rare (blue) and upwards to mythic rarity. Will fortune smile upon you and grant you a mythic rarity resource?

Obtaining Raw Resources
During Twilight's Tide players have a chance to drop a Crate of Metal Ore, containing one of five metals; a Box of Gemstone Ore, containing one of eight unrefined gemstones; or a Pouch of Aethyric Shards, containing one of eight aethyr-charged crystals. Players have a low chance of dropping Pouches of Aethyric Shards. The primary source of Pouches of Aethryic Shards are the damned daemons that invade Ulthuan. The higher the level/difficulty of the mob, the higher the chance they will drop a Pouch of Aethyric Shards - and for those who are strong and daring, perhaps a lord will reward them with two Pouches of Aethyric Shards!

Crafting and Upgrading Your Rings
Rings come in four level-brackets, and in four rarity-brackets. Uncommon/Green rings are called 'Bands' and are the lowest level in every level-bracket. Bands do not have talisman slots, but they can be upgraded into Blue/Rare rings called 'Rings' which do have talisman slots. Purple/Very Rare rings are 'Signets' and become available at level 31. Mythic/Orange-Red rings are called 'Annulii' or 'Annulus' in the singular form - named for the Annulii Mountains that form the ring-shaped spine of the isle of Ulthuan. Annulii are only available at level 40.

Rings can be upgraded from Green > Blue > Purple > Red rarity, but only in their level bracket! Despite the same name, you cannot convert your level 11 Green ring into a level 40 Blue ring! 11 > 11, 40 > 40.

All Ring Vendors will persist five days after the live event ends as they pack their bags. So be sure to keep you resources to trade with your friends until the very end!

Dyes
Twenty-two rare dyes are available only during this live event, for those who wish to expand their colorful horizons. Six dyes are specular dyes which will dye the specular area of armor pieces that have specular areas. Dye previews are available here, but please be aware that the colors may apply differently on different base armor colors. We hope to continue to introduce new dyes based on inspiration from the source material in the Live Events to come.

2025 Updates
- The drop rate of Ore and Gemstone boxes from player kills has been slightly increased. The drop rate has been even further increased when killing a high Renown Rank player.
- A portal has been added in Altdorf and the IC near the flight masters to teleport you closer to the Live Event area
- Tome Unlocks and Achievements have been added to the live event
- Live Event tasks have been updated, removing mandatory participation and wins in scenarios. Players can now chose to do other content to complete a task

T4 PvE Rework
Following the completion of the T3 PvE rework, we've begun work on T4.

- All Tier 4 Achievements have been implemented. All Exploration/Pursuits achievements are now implemented, including many which Mythic never had implemented on live.

- All Tier 4 History and Lore & Noteworthy Person unlocks have been checked/implemented. This includes many fixes to Noteworthy persons which were listed in the wrong zone, or unlisted. Please note that while T4 Keep NPCs are now listed in the Noteworthy Persons, their unlocks will not work until the new NPCs are implemented with the T4 Keep NPC rework. That is still pending.

- All Tier 4 Bestiary unlocks have been implemented. This includes some that never existed on live.

- All Tier 4 Kill Collectors have been adjusted/implemented with improved rewards, along with their associated achievements. Kill collectors have hidden counters, and you will not get the indicated reward until you have maxed out the counter. The amount of kills ranges from 30-60 kills (whereas previously all were set to 60 kills).

- All Tier 4 Keep/BO unlocks have been fixed/implemented. This includes fixing all of the swapped warcamps in the Tome of Knowledge where, for example, Eataine BOs would be listed under Caledor and vice versa.

- All Tier 4 Areas have been fixed/implemented, including the building/implementing of areas in the side zones of West Praag, Cinderfall, and Death Peak

Please note that some unlock conditions have changed since live, so old guides (including the ones on the RoR wiki) may not be accurate.

All Tier 4 Hidden quests have been disabled until they are ready to be properly reintroduced.

For the remaining elements of the Tier 4 PvE Rework (PQs, Influence, Quests) we will be dividing the chapters into two groups. We will first be fixing content from chapters 15-18, and afterwards work on chapters 19-22.


Realm vs Realm


Battlefield Objective Rework

Big updates to Battlefield Objectives are arriving with this patch! We're doing away with the old system, which was both a little confusing and not clear to players, and replacing it with a new Battlefield Objective Reward system which will motivate players to move around, capture, and defend BOs across the map.

First, let's talk about what we're swapping out:

- Removed old battlefield domination buff
- Removed hidden buff around BOs that increased rewards of kills the closer you were to a flag
- Removed Field of glory
- Removed Battlefield Control Buff

We've taken all the rewards from these systems and merged them into a single new system, along with some new perks:

New RvR War Crest Bonuses:

- Capturing BOs will now also grant each player in that capture 1 war crest. This has a 5 minute cooldown.
- Returning supplies to a Keep will award a single War Crest. If in a group, this is rolled like normal.

New Battlefield Objective Capture Bonus (T2+):

Now when you capture a BO, you'll gain a 20 minute Buff unique to that BO that grants:

• 30% increased Renown Gain from Kills in RvR
• 30% Increased XP from kills in RvR
• 30% Increased influence from kills in RvR

To encourage players moving to new BOs and traveling the map, these buffs will stack, and are unique per BO, allowing players to build up to 120% boost to RR/XP/Inf from RvR kills if they run the full map and continue to secure objectives. This buff is only present while in the lake that the buff is tied to.

New Battlefield Objective Defense Bonus (T2+):

If your realm already controls most Battlefield Objectives, you can also defend a Battlefield Objective to gain the same stacking buff. To do so, a player must guard and maintain control of the BO for 3 minutes. Upon entering a controlled BO, you will see a new "Securing Battlefield" buff counting down, after which it will transition into the appropriate BO buff. The intent with this is to also create targets on Objectives for the enemy team to fight, so keep your eyes peeled if protecting one!

Keeps

Instant RvR flagging near posterns: With this patch we're happy to finally address a key complaint from the RvR community over the last few years: players being able to take entire warbands into keep posterns without being flagged. Now, when you are in an RvR lake and within 200 Feet of a postern door, you will immediately become flagged for RvR, allowing sieging warbands to properly block these posterns.

Improvements to stop postern blocks: This patch also adds a new Quality of Life update to prevent players from blocking postern doors (primarily inner doors) with Siege Weapons or Banners. Siege Weapons placed near a postern door will warn the player towing that it must be moved to avoid being destroyed. A second warning will appear after 15 seconds, and after 30 seconds the weapon will be destroyed. Banners follow the same rules, and share their warnings with the banner owner.

Rout the Weak! After a successful keep defense, the keep lord and all other inner keep NPCs will receive a "Rout the Weak" buff which significantly increases their damage over the next 10 minutes. This prevents attackers who are still inside the inner keep after the doors close from being able to stay inside the lord room and repeatedly kill players who respawn there.

- Claiming keeps now costs 15 gold up front.

- Lowered cost of Vault keeper to 15 silver.

- Lowered cost of Banker to 15 silver.

- Several Keep Lords that were Champions are now back to being Heroes.

- Using a siege weapon will now automatically flag you for RvR.

- The delay between using keep doors / posterns was raised from 500ms to 1500ms. This fixes an issue where players with a higher ping would sometimes pop back out after spam clicking the door and makes popping out slightly riskier.

Other

AAO buff now properly shows its increase to drop chance: This was was always there (5% increased drop chance for every 20% AAO), but did not show properly before. Now it does!

- Increased the base XP and renown of a player kill by 100% to compensate for the removal of Field of Glory.

General


- Mail server performance and reliability should be improved.

- Many general performance optimizations have been made in an attempt to reduce server lag (delayed ability casting etc.) during large RvR fights. These involved significant changes to ability and object handling code, so please report any bugs with abilities not working correctly or objects / players / NPCs not appearing / disappearing or respawning correctly, etc.

- The amount of data sent during login has been reduced, which should hopefully reduce the chances of failing to load and getting kicked back to character select after clicking Play.

Resistances of the Liniment of the Inexorable Aegis (and similar Stew/Pie) reduced from 360 and 180.

Hi everyone!

With both Twilight’s Tide and then Lost Vale on the horizon, today we’d like to share with you all some early info on the Lost Vale Dungeon, including some of the items you’ll be able to craft and find inside the Dungeon, and to set the stage for the difficulty of the Dungeon now that our testers have largely finished.


1. Get ready for Rings (Permanently)

For years now, we heard from players that they really enjoyed the Twilight’s Tide event, but that the FOMO was strong and they wished there was a more permanent way to earn similar rings outside of the limited event.

Earlier this year, we decided we’d use Lost Vale to address this feedback, and within the Dungeon you’ll be able to earn materials which allow you to craft Copper, Silver, and Gold rings with slightly less stats than Annulus rings. These rings include the special bonus stat that Annulus rings have. (1% Melee Crit or 1% Heal crit, etc)

The Lost Vale rings do not have as many overall stats as the Twilight’s Tide Annulus rings, but they’re not far off, making them a new permanently available option for players to pick up before upgrading to Annulus Rings as the event rolls around each year. You can check out an early look at one of those rings below:



2. New Liniments

Our Pie Week and Ogre Stew Live Events, which feature 1 hour special liniment equivalents you can stockpile, had similar community feedback asking if we could make these more available for players who might miss these events.

Lost Vale is going to reintroduce a number of these Pies/Stews as new 30 Minute Liniments, making buffs like the 5% Healing Crit available all year long now. You can create these Liniments both through Blue Seeds, which have a 10% chance to drop from most bosses, or through Butchering specific bosses within the Dungeon!

3. Three Armor Sets

Lost Vale is going to introduce the Darkpromise Set into RoR, which requires the Invader Ward to wear and sits near the Triumphant set in terms of stats.

What we haven’t told anyone yet is that Lost Vale will actually have three different Darkpromise sets, one for your Main Spec, one for your Off Spec, and a third hybrid set with a unique focus.

Similar to Bastion Stair or City Dungeons, a defeated Boss will check the party members in the Dungeon and drop a piece of armor for one of those classes. Unique to Lost Vale, that piece of armor will be a “Broken” piece, which you can then return to Vendors at the Dungeon’s entrance to pick the set piece you’d like.



There are even more new items that will arrive with the Dungeon, but we’ll talk more about those near the launch!

4. Lost Vale is going to be challenging!

Lost Vale is going to be the most mechanically challenging Dungeon ever built for Return for Reckoning, and we are standing by that difficulty. This Dungeon has a mix of straightforward fights and some very tough fights near the end, and the difficulty will come both from mechanics and knowing your class basics. (Can your tank swap Guard? Do your DPS and Healers know what the Detaunt button does?)

Guild and discord groups should be able to overcome all these challenges, and we’ve seen testers make some of these fights look like a cakewalk, but we’d like to note that Solo or Pug players are strongly recommended to ensure they know their class and are properly geared before setting foot in the Dungeon.

5. More news to come!

This update is just a taste of what’s to come with Lost Vale, but we wanted to mention the Rings prior to Twilight’s Tide so everyone has a good heads up on it before the event hits.

And if you haven't seen it yet... check out first teaser trailer for Lost Vale here!

Thanks for reading, and we’ll see you soon as Twilight’s Tide arrives on July 18th, with Lost Vale to follow!

Live Event

The Feast of Shoika



The summer sun has reached its zenith and Dazh smiles down upon his worshippers below. All throughout Kislev pyres are lit, from the smallest village to the largest cities, in honor of Dazh who gave the world the gift of sunlight and fire. These pyres are fueled by sacrifices of mighty beasts, and small scraps of paper upon which the faithful write their prayers, hoping the flames will carry them to the heavens and reach the generous hands of Dazh. The summer season in Kislev is not only the celebration of Dazh, for it also honors Shoika, the powerful Tsarina who established Kislev. It is a time of celebrating in a manner most fitting of the Old World, with fire and blood.

The Feast of Shoika is celebrated beyond the borders of Kislev. Its festivities reach Altdorf as a sign of the lasting alliance between the Empire of Sigmar and the Bear Kingdom. The Feast of Shoika is a dual celebration of the founding of Kislev and the start of the Kislevite New Year, and the onset of summer and season of the harvest which rely heavily on the blessings of Dazh. Kislevite Boyars, Priests of Dazh, and mysterious hag mothers celebrate in Altdorf. Meanwhile, Dolgans and goblins from the east join the Raven Host as the forces of Chaos seek to raze Kislev and turn its lands into one massive pyre honoring the Lord of Change. Head to Altdorf and the Inevitable City to learn how you can help during the Feast of Shoika.

The Feast of Shoika will start on June 20th and last until June 30th.

Rewards
Basic reward: [Kossar's Helm] or The Feast of Shoika Alcohol Sampler
Advanced reward: Your very own orphaned Oblast Elk Fawn or Lynsk Bear Cub, or The Feast of Shoika Dye Satchel containing four random dyes from the Feast of Shoika
Elite reward: [Potion of Acclaim], the Oblast Elk Saddle, or Lynsk Bear Saddle / Bound Ice Daemon (these items can be traded for a mount at a vendor in your capital) Mount previews are available here, and discs here.

Completing the Event Quest - An event slot item; and depending on the path you take/choices you make the new Kislevite capes: the ermine-fur-lined Druzhina's Korzna , or fur cloak fit for winter - the Kislevite Kozhukhi, or a ragged hide fit for a soldier - the Pulkowa Palatka. Cloak previews are available here.

All Live Event rewards are only available from the associated heralds: Konstanty Tarnowsky in the Altdorf Market, or Chief Zhan'daq in the Inevitable City Apex.

Pyre Blessings
Journey to Altdorf or the Inevitable City to speak with your local pyromaniac, the Priest of Dazh or Cultist of Flames respectively. Slay Kislevite bulls and be rewarded with Prayers to the Pyre, which you can write your most sincere prayers upon before casting them into the pyre and waiting for your god's reply. Be careful, for the gods know the value of your prayers, and not all are worthy of a blessing.

The Ancient Widow ORvR PQ
A spirit as old as the land of Kislev has reappeared in Kislev during this Feast of Shoika, a powerful being bent on cleansing the land of all those who do not respect it. Needless to say, that is everyone. Join your realm in battling the Ancient Widow in the streets of Praag, while you hold back the opposing realm. This PQ will include a handful of rewards exclusive to the PQ.

Live Event Shoppe
Collect Pyre Offerings by killing players in ORvR or Scenarios and trade them in with merchants in your Empire/Chaos capital cities - Baba Tsvana in Altdorf or Baba Drozdzowka in the Inevitable City. Note: the Pyre Offerings are a BLUE currency, so check your auto-rolls. These merchants will offer you foods and drinks from the northern lands, and are required for the new specular dyes. Feast while you can, because after the feast comes the famine.

Dyes
Twenty rare dyes are available only during this live event, for those who wish to expand their colorful horizons. Dye previews are available here, but please be aware that the colors may apply differently on different base armor colors. These colors were drawn from the Warhammer Armies: Kislev 6th Ed., WFRP The Realm of the Ice Queen 2nd Ed., and other sources such as Warhammer Online's Praag assets. We hope to continue to introduce new dyes based on inspiration from the source material in the Live Events to come.

Feast of Shoika Epic Branching Quest
During the Feast of Shoika, players will have the opportunity to take part in a new questline built with our new branching quest system, The Tainted Child for Order, or Death On The Steppes for Destruction. Each questline has three endings, depending on the path you took and the decisions you made - and don't worry, there is a route focused on PvP for the PvE-shy players.

2025 Changes
- The Live Event task no longer requires you to complete the whole Epic questline, only the first 'chapter', which ends on the first live-event jewelry item.
- Koumiss, the AP regen potion, has been brought back, but its value lowered to +1AP/second
- All four tasks requiring scenario participation/victory have been removed and replaced with other tasks that give players options.
- Tome Achievement Unlocks have been added to the Feast of Shoika.

Bonus Event: Double Warcrests All Weekend!
