Weekend Warfront: Blood Basin
The blackened environs of Black Fire Pass are home to one of the bloodiest battles yet seen. The clash of steel on steel does little to drown out the screams of the wounded as Order and Destruction forces struggle for dominance in the blood-mired snow.
This weekend the Blood Basin will be the weekend warfront from 12:00 Friday to 12:00 Monday Altdorf time. You get +50% XP and Renown in the Black Fire Basin scenario, and extra rewards from completing the event tasks.
Realm versus Realm
Live Event: Sigmartag
We noticed Realms had a difficult time to accumulate the Event Renown Boosts through collecting [Skull of A Fallen Foe]. The old implementation would have required 5,000 [Skull of A Fallen Foe] to be collected within 8 hours, we thought this was too much currently.
We'd like players to enjoy the benefits of Sigmartag's Renown Boost more consistently, and in all time-zones.
New Realm Skull Requirements :
- 250+ Skulls: 10% Renown Boost
- 500+ Skulls: 20% Renown Boost
- 750+ Skulls: 30% Renown Boost
- 1000+ Skulls:40% Renown Boost
- 1250+ Skulls: 50% Renown Boost
Sigmartag Relic
- Relics during the event should show up properly on your map moving on.
Open-RvR
We have identified the issue regarding RvR Gold Bags sometimes not rewarding players with set items. This fix on the other hand resulted in Reward Brackets to be slightly modified:
- Players Renown ranks 1 to 20 will receive Obliterator Set pieces
- Players Renown ranks 20 to 29 will receive Devastator Set pieces
- Players Renown ranks 30 to 39 will receive Annihilator Set pieces
- Players Renown ranks 40 to 49 will receive Conqueror Set pieces
- Players Renown ranks 50 to 255 will receive Vanquisher Set pieces
Guild
- Guild Standards have been restored to function properly again, see Bug-Fixes section!
- You can now once more capture the enemy realms guild standards.
Combat and Careers
Balance Changes
- Graceful Strike was changed to generate double hate from damage (including Damage over Time) instead of a fixed amount of extra hate to bring it in line with other tanks.
This change is in connection with the listed bug-fixes regarding Tanks, to make all Tank Careers generate hate the same way.

Items
- The Helmets of Dominion from the Veteran Renown Gear merchants have been upgraded to be given stats, to be useful for someone that is just fresh into tier 2.
- The Cloak of Conquest from the Veteran Renown Gear merchants have been upgraded to be given stats.
