Administrators Popular Post Joie.6084 Posted October 15 Administrators Popular Post Share Posted October 15 10/15/2024—Shadow of the Mad King Release Notes Release Notes: Halloween Once again, the gates of the Mad Realm have opened, and Kryta's most infamous monarch, Mad King Thorn, has returned to hold court in Lion's Arch! Loyal vassals of the king are strongly encouraged to enjoy the festivities: meet the denizens of the Mad Realm in events across Kryta; tour the Mad Realm itself in the Mad King's Labyrinth and the fearsome Clock Tower; compete with your fellow mortals in Lunatic Inquisition, Reaper's Rumble, and the Mad King's Raceway; attend to the king's whims in his notorious pastime of Mad King Says; or match wits and blades against royalty in Ascent to Madness. The Lion's Arch Captain's Council wishes to remind the populace that they are not affiliated with the Krytan monarchy and cannot guarantee the safety of any citizens who choose to dabble in dangerous realms, mad or otherwise. The (Annual) Halloween Rituals meta-achievement has been updated with a fashionable new reward, the Clawing Shadow Plate! Earn this spooky new armor piece by completing a variety of Halloween activities and show your allegiance to the Mad King's court with pride. Last year's meta reward, the Clawing Shadow Greaves, can now be purchased from Halloween vendors if you missed it. A new Candy Core weapon set is now available! You'll receive your choice of a weapon by progressing the (Annual) Halloween Rituals meta-achievement or the (Weekly) Halloween Festivities achievement. The Grim Machine weapon set is now available from the weekly Halloween vendors. Three new weapons are now available in the Courtly Weapon Chest, which is rarely found in trick-or-treat bags. They can also be purchased from Sparking Stone in Lion's Arch. An unsettling new Mini Pummel Spider has been added to Halloween vendors. Deft Lahar is visiting Lion's Arch for the festival and is offering a variety of handiwork recipes for homestead versions of your favorite Halloween decorations. New Halloween-themed decorations have been added: Haunted Bell, suitable for trick-or-treating in your guild hall or homestead Antique Bell, for a less spooky announcement of visitors to the guild hall or homestead Gargoyle Flame-Bearing Gargoyle Warclaw Rental Post The Wizard's Vault has been updated with special objectives for participating in Halloween activities. The Halloween vendor in Hooligan's Route now stocks a much larger variety of Halloween items for customers who find themselves with excess candy corn after the doors to the Mad Realm close for the year, including the recipes for homestead decorations. The (Annual) Raceway Regular achievement now receives additional progress for laps completed within the gold-medal time for their race. Checkpoints in the Mad King's Raceway have had their visual size increased to more consistently match their collision area. Many small bugs have been polished to ensure a more fun festival than ever for all visitors to the Mad Realm. The gates to the Mad Realm will be open for three weeks, from October 15 until November 5. Have a happy Halloween! 48 6 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
