Live Event - Sigmartag

Image

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

Image

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%.

Nice patch but wont this just promote people to blob up more or even huge one sided zergs on the faction with biggest renown bonus for the 8 hours?

I like the idea of something multiplying with the amount of turns ins but renown is never the issue crests are always the road block, so in theory your just having people higher renown with equally bad gear.

Yep this concept will definitly end up as zerg fest.
However great to know that there is still active game development. Overall nice idea but maybe worth to consider in the next updates how to discourage blobbing in such activities.

The patches this year have been quite disappointed tbh.
We've gone from weekly patches with bug fixes and changes to a "monthly event" patch this year and it gets kinda frustrating.
There are important skills that are buggy since months/almost a year like the stealth on WH/WE were the stealth suddenly triggers the CD when entering stealth and then refreshes it when coming out of stealth f.e.
I understand that the devs are working on a new ability system and that it takes time. but we only heard of it ones afaik over a year ago. how is the progress? will it be implemented this year? will the bugs be fixed soon after releasing the new ability system?
And most importantly, will we see real patches again in the old weekly cycle or is "once a month a new event" the new thing?
