The wheel of the seasons has turned, ushering out the sun’s last warmth with bitter blasts of northern winds. As snow creeps down to block mountain passes and lock the Warhammer world in the icy talons of winter, the citizens of the Old World raise their mugs high; the time of Keg End is at hand. In an epic celebration fraught with boasting, toasting, and epic fireworks, the Dwarfs clear out their stores of ales, beers and other intoxicating beverages in order to bring luck in the New Year and make way for a stock of better, stronger brews. But the dwarfs are not alone in their celebrations as ogres and giants once again invade the lands of the Old World, and the greenskins are always finding ways to ruin dwarfen festivities.
The Holidays are upon us and, as such, Keg End returns to WAR! This year Keg End returns to the dwarfen holds of Karaz-a-Karak and Karak Eight Peaks, though the latter is in need of some housekeeping. Travel there and speak to Josef Bugman or Wurrzag Ud Ura Zahubu to begin your Keg End experience.
Keg End will start on December 20th at 12:00 Altdorf time and last until January 3rd 12:00 Altdorf time.

A limited-time Keg End quest 'Keg End Special' has been hidden somewhere in the world. This quest is a branching quest, where taking one path in the quest line will block you from taking others. The rewards differ based on the path you choose, so choose wisely. In additional to the 'Keg End Special', three other hidden quests are available during this live event, their location is only revealed to the worthy.
Live Event Shoppe & Dyes
This Keg End visit two new vendors in Karaz-a-Karak or Karak Eight Peaks, near the Live Event heralds Borgrim Mugslammer and Gaggmagit Slopreek respectively, to see what limited-time curiosities await you.
It wouldn't be a new live event without some new themed dyes. 22 live event dyes related to the stony dwarfs and their Kev End festivities are available only during Keg End. Two of these dyes (Pure Silver and Pure Mithril) are unique in that they replace the specular dyes of your gear (for gear that uses specular dyes); these may only appear if your graphics settings are high enough. Please note that these dyes are only available for purchase during this Live Event.
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. These colors were drawn largely from Citadel Paints and Games Workshop publications. We hope to continue to introduce new dyes based on inspiration from the source material in the Live Events to come.
Live Event Achievement Unlocks
Starting with Daemon Moon Bleeding, we have begun the process of (re)implementing Tome of Knowledge Achievement unlocks for live events for those of you who are true completionists. Please note that as these achievements have just been added this year you will want to re-equip any pocket items that granted titles associated with Keg End in order to get the achievement. We are aware that the Destruction unlocks show '???' on two of the titles and are looking into a fix for this - however if you to go the titles section and hover over the titles it will tell you which unlock grants the title. Live event titles will go under the 'Exclusive' section (because they are not available all year).
