Join with your friends to bring an end to the chaos in the final chapter of the Icebrood Saga finale. The final battle of the Icebrood Saga is here: Dragonstorm. Compete achievements, claim new rewards, and earn daily treasure in this instanced meta-event as you execute the plan to preserve the balance in the dragon cycle. Challenge the dragons in three ways: Story: Complete the story quest of Champions to reach a story mission version of Dragonstorm, suitable for one player and up to four additional group members. As a story mission, it's an easier challenge but won't offer the meta-event reward chest on completion. Public: Every two hours, an open-grouped version of Dragonstorm will be announced in the Eye of the North. Join the mission during this window to be grouped together with up to 80 like-minded players. Private Squad: At any time, you can launch into Dragonstorm in a premade squad from the rally point in the Eye of the North. Assemble your friends and guildmates to show your strength as a team of up to 50 players! Unlock the final stage of the Dragon Slayer Mastery by progressing your Champions story to its climax and hearing the plan for dealing with the threat of the twin dragons. With the fully trained Dragon Slayer Mastery, you'll be eligible for rare drops of Pristine Dragon's Eye crafting items when completing Dragonstorm. After completing all the story chapters of the Icebrood Saga, return to the Eye of the North to receive a small token of appreciation.
