Phase 1: Growing Darkness

New rifts and invasions from the Plane of Death are appearing across the world. Visit Sanctum or Meridian to learn how you can help defend Telara and earn Otherworldly Sourcestones, which can be used to obtain items of power and mystery.

This phase started on March 30, 2011.

Quests

Daily quests in Sanctum and Meridian each rewards ten Otherworldly Sourcestone. The Quest NPCs also sell the same items as the World Event Merchants. A few one-time quests can also be found during the event.

Speak to Sister Belladonna in Tavril Plaza or Seruldu Elhar in Epoch Plaza:

Speak to Brother Hyperion in Tavril Plaza or Niddya Falstone in Epoch Plaza:

A one-time breadcrumb quest can be received in other zones, which will lead you to the daily quest event NPCs in the cities.

Receive an Evanescing Shadestone and examine it to receive a one-time quest:

Receive a Shadetouched Weapon Cache by defeating a zone event invasion, and get a quest! Rewards vary by class and level.

We need information on this quest.

World Event Merchants

The currency for this event is Otherworldly Sourcestone, which can be received as a quest, death rift or death invasion reward. The rewards are available from the merchants below and from at least one of the two Daily Quest NPC's in the cities. When looking at the items that can be bought you will only see the rings that your Calling can use.

Phase 2: The Reaping

This phase is scheduled to begin on April 9, 2011.

This information is from the Alpha Shard and may change before going live: Alsbeth is attacking Fortified Wardstones with undead Colossi pulled from the River of Souls. Destroy these creatures in each zone to save Telara from Destruction!

  • Shimmersand Defended
  • Droughtlands Defended
  • Freemarch Defended
  • Stonefield Defended
  • Scarlet Gorge Defended
  • Gloamwood Defended
  • Silverwood Defended
  • Moonshade Highlands Defended

  • Scarwood Reach Defended
  • Stillmoor Defended

Phase 3: Echoes of the Past

The starting date for this phase is TBA.

Achievements

  • Grim Survivor - identify the origin of Evanescing Shadestone; quest item rewarded as part of the loot from closing a death rift (may need to be one that is part of the event and/or one that is no more than 7 levels lower than your own level), complete the quest to get the achievement.
  • Grim Hero - participate in the Grim Harvest final event; presumably requires participation in the final phase of the event.
  • Grim Protector - participate in the Grim Harvest zone invasions; I originally thought this referred to zone invasions in phase 1, but unless there is also an unstated requirement that you must take part in an invasion no more than 7 levels lower than your own level, it may be referring to the collossi invasions of phase 2 (this would make sense, as there is then one achievement specific to each phase).
  • Grim Victory - unlock all Grim Harvest achievements; get all the other four achievements.
