Return of Reckoning

Live Event: Goldtooth's Great Feast



Feastmasters, sharpen your blades for the fattened calves. The Overtyrant demands to celebrate the end of the raiding season with a massive feast. The Great Maw consumes all, and this Great Feast the ogres and their allies will strip the land bare! We shall eat our fill until our bellies burst. The bigger the belly, the warmer the winter!

Greasus Goldtooth, the Overtyrant of all the ogre kingdoms, has declared his annual Great Feast to mark the end of the raiding season in autumn. Any tribe with a resident halfling is sure to feast well! Assist the halflings in making stews to warm the bellies of the ogres, and if a pot lands in your bag, surely the ogres won’t notice...

Halfling chefs are a prized commodity in the ogre tribes, and many a halfling has quickly learned to become a chef if it meant saving their own skin when captured by an ogre tribe. The ogres of the Mountains of Mourn are known to consume massive quantities of meat, but few know how partial they are to halfling stews. They say you can throw anything into a pot and an ogre will consume it with great joy, but only the best recipes truly satisfy the Great Maw. The halfling chefs combine their own knowledge of Old World recipes with those they learned during their travels with mercenary ogre bands across the lands, and this Great Feast, they're ready to cook up their most famous stews.

Goldtooth's Great Feast will start on August 22nd and last until September 1st.

Goldtooth's Great Feast Stews, Halfling Rucksacks, and Marks of the Maw
It wouldn't be a proper ogre event if it wasn't about eating until your belly was about to burst! Who better to assist the ogres in this task than their loyal(?) halfling chefs! During Goldtooth's Great Feast these chefs have decided to be so kind as to help those who with lesser culinary skills to cook amazing stews (i.e. 1-hour liniments).

All you need to do is gather the ingredients, found in Halfling Rucksacks that drop from players. Each Halfling Rucksack drops 3 ingredients from a pool of 15 ingredients. Get the right combination of 3 ingredients, based on the halfling chefs' requirements, and head to their temporary camps at the Flight Deck of Karaz-a-Karak, or in The Hall of Da Bestest in Karak Eight Peaks to toss your ingredients into a cauldron. Buying a cauldron will start the cooking process, because cooking a quality stew takes time, which will say 'decaying in 10 minutes' because we cannot change the text at this time. After 10 minutes your stew will be ready for consumption!

However, you can get more for your products if you buy some barley (x2), potatoes (x3), or horse meat (x5) to thicken your stew! These items can be purchased from the associated halfling chef for Marks of the Maw, which drop from players. Please note, the vendor interface at the time of creating this event can only display 3 ingredients maximum, so if you want to buy the stacks of 2, 3, or 5 stews, you must have the multiplier purchased! We hope to fix this in the future, but for now we appreciate your understanding, and that you read underlined text.

Dyes
It wouldn't be a new live event without some new themed dyes. 20 dyes themed around the Ogre Kingdoms of the Mountains of Mourn are available for your dyeing desires. Please be aware that these dyes are only available for purchase during this Live Event.

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. We hope to continue to introduce new dyes based on inspiration from the source material in the Live Events to come.

Live Event Shoppe
The ogres have been invited, we think... maybe they forced their hosts' hospitality, to Karaz-a-Karak and Karak Eight Peaks. Four vendors sell stews for ingredients; one sells at a ratio of 3 ingredients to 1 stew, while the other three sell the same stews but with output multipliers so a single trio of ingredients combined with a multiplier can yield 2, 3, or 5 stews. Please check all four chefs and check what you want to spend your event resources on.

Two vendors convert food items to Scraps 'n Bits, which can make Gruels for players below level 40. Other vendors sell dyes, or allow you to trade in a Thankful Egg for a stack of ingredients. Where do you get a Thankful Egg from? Why from a Thankful Fowl of course.

Goldtooth's Great Feast Quests
A couple quests are exclusive to Goldtooth's Great Feast. The "A Bone to Pick" quest will reward you with a live-event slot item focused on defensive stats, such as dodge, disrupt, parry, or block. The "What's on the Menu" timed quest is divided by player level (1-15, 16-29, 30-39, and 40) and race - theoretically a level 15 player can do all four quests if they get to level 40 before the event ends.

2025 Changes
- Liniments in the form of 'Gruels' have been added for players below level 40. Players can convert their food items into 'Scraps 'n Bits', which can then be made into Gruels. These liniments should also count for live event credit.
- The Thankful Fowl running wild in Karaz-a-Karak and Karak Eight Peaks has been given a low chance to drop a Thankful Egg
- The Thankful Fowl running wild in Reikland has a chance to randomly drop an eggstra Thankful Egg.
- Achievements have been added for cooking stews (triggered by buying the cauldron from the vendor), rewarding titles and cosmetics. These function as action counters, so don't worry if you don't max it out this year, for there are always other years. Cosmetic rewards can be claimed at the Cosmetic Vendor in any of the cities (Altdorf War Quarters, IC Slaanesh Chambers, KaK/K8P Merchant Halls)
- Achievements have been added for live event tasks, including a title for completing all tasks.

The Lost Vale


Click here to watch on YouTube

The Lost Vale Dungeon has arrived! The Return of Reckoning team is proud to unveil of one of our favorite Dungeons from the Live server, now restored, enhanced, and improved with new features and content never before seen in the original game.

This Dungeon is meant to be played after Bastion Stair, and will likely be the largest Dungeon we ever release. Filled with new bosses, new gear, and untold secrets, can your party or guild rise to the challenge and recover the Everqueen?

For a full list of Dungeon details, check out the Wiki page here. We're also highlighting many of the new updates below:

New and Updated Bosses

We've restored many of Mythic's original mechanics for these bosses, and added new mechanics to many fights to make them more fun. Our thanks to the many testing groups who supported this release over the last few months to help us balance and fine tune these!

New Story & Voice Acting

We've added a new storyline into the Dungeon based on our learnings from last year's Dragonback Pass. With over 250+ new audio lines added to the Dungeon, this is our most story-rich and voice acted piece of content in the game! Special thanks to all the talented voiceover artists who lent their gifts to make this possible.

New Darkpromise Armor

Players can earn the new Darkpromise Armor sets within the Lost Vale Dungeon. There are three sets per class to choose from, featuring a Main Spec, Off Spec, and a third "Hybird" spec that usually applies a unique group focused buff.

There are two ways to earn these sets: First, you can select a piece via repeatable quests after clearing specific bosses 4 times. Second, you can acquire a piece of "Broken" Darkpromise gear via bosses. Trade this into the proper vendor (one vendor per set) to instantly get the piece you want.

To see a full list of Darkpromise Set bonuses for all classes, check out the Darkpromise Set Wiki page here.

New Weapons

New Weapons have also arrived with the Dungeon, and can be earned by completing three full runs of the Dungeon and beginning the short quest given as an Influence Reward.

After you complete this quest, you can take a new repeatable quest that will allow you to pick up additional weapons if you continue to run the Dungeon.

Weapon appearance previews available here

New Original Backpieces

Get your fashionhammer needs ready, because 24 new original backpieces, seen in the trailer for the first time ever, have been added to the game! You can check out images of the new backpieces here.

Our special thanks to the many concept artists and modelers who made these a reality - they look wonderful, and we're excited for players to get them!

New Rings

New Rings, inspired by the Twilight's Tide Annulus rings, can now be earned within the Dungeon, giving players a permanent option to get rings that are just slightly below the power of an Annulus ring all year long.

These rings can be forged in Gold, Silver, and Copper, and like Twilight's Tide, you can select the combination of Ring and Gemstone you'd like to get a bonus that benefits your build. Specific bosses within the Dungeon will always drop materials for these rings, and every boss has a small chance of dropping a bonus ring material when defeated.

New Liniments

Ten new Liniments have been added to the game, and can be uniquely earned in the Lost Vale. Cultivators can find Blue Seed drops at about a 10% rate per boss, with a higher drop rate from Treekin or Dryad type enemies. There are five Liniments that can be grown from seeds.

Butchers can earn the other five Liniments by Butchering specific bosses once defeated. While this gives less Liniments than a grown Seed, the rate on these results is 100% and is guaranteed when defeating and butchering key bosses. Some Dungeon mobs also have a rare chance to drop these Liniments when butchered.

New Hard Mode Achievements

Another brand new feature we're unveiling with Lost Vale is the arrival of Hard Mode Achievements. These achievements are meant to push even the most skilled of teams, and there's a new Hard Mode Achievement for almost every boss in the Dungeon.

Achievements are earned as a group, so if your party completes one, all members present will earn a Champion's Mark and any other bonuses granted, like Titles, Bestial Tokens, or more.

You can find a full list of the Achievements and how to earn them here on the Lost Vale Wiki page.

New Dyes

12 new dyes have also been added and can be earned within the Dungeon. To preview them for all your cosmetic needs, you can find images here, or you can preview them in-game with the most updated Pocket Palette add-on.

Our Biggest Dungeon To-date

From start to finish, Lost Vale took the Dungeon team about 7 months to rebuild, and it arrives today as the largest, most in-depth, and most content rich Dungeon ever launched on the server.

We'd like to take a moment to once more say THANK YOU to all of our testers, artists, voice actors, coders, designers, and everyone who poured their time into this project. This ambitious release would not have been possible without you, and we sincerely appreciate it.

Good Luck!

And that's all to cover for now - Lost Vale is a challenging Dungeon, and we expect some fights may take players a bit of time to learn and overcome, but we hope you'll rise to the challenge and even have some fun doing it!

To enter the Dungeon, form a group and head to Avelorn! Order players can find the Ship that sails them over just north of their Avelorn Warcamp, and Destruction players can find their ship waiting just west of Dark Elf Chapter 12 - check out the new portal in Destruction's Avelorn Warcamp to jump there even faster.

Happy hunting, and may you find the Everqueen - the Vale awaits!

A small patch today with a number of bug fixes as we prepare the Lost Vale Dungeon for impending release.


Content


A 1-hand Fortress Sword with Melee Crit has been added for the Swordmaster to match all other tanks

- Fixed Witch Elf "Rejection" ability having no range set (now 5 ft).
- Daemonic Armor and Flak Jacket no longer stack with other armor buffs. [24504]

Live Event: Twilight's Tide



The dreaded time of year has come once again when Sariour na Yenlui thins the veil between the Realm of Chaos, and the known world. Archmages strengthen wards on ancient menhirs, while Asur hosts assemble to face the daemonic onslaught. Only superior elven craftsmanship will see Ulthuan through another Twilight’s Tide.

During the Age of Reckoning the Asur armies are spread thin. Phoenix King Finubar has taken a large portion of Ulthuan's warriors to answer the Empire's call for aid, leaving Prince Tyrion to defend Ulthuan against all threats with a fraction of the isle's defenders. Thus, this year's Twilight's Tide puts an even greater strain upon the Asur defenders of Ulthuan. As such, the mastersmiths and jewelers of Ulthuan have agreed to help craft powerful rings for the elves and their allies, rings to help hold back the tide of Destruction. The Dark Elves however are not ones to be outdone and seek to monopolize the opportunity to strike at a weakened foe. Malekith believes he can use the daemons to his advantage and then bind them to his will, and should they grow too troublesome he can always ask his 'loyal' allies to help deal with the daemonic threat.

Twilight’s Tide marks the time of year when Morrslieb is closest to the known world, a dangerous time of year when the daemons of Chaos flood into the known world, with a particular focus on Ulthuan and the ancestors of Aenarion. Meanwhile, the dreaded Druchii are never ones to miss an opportunity to strike at a distracted foe.

Twilight's Tide will start on July 18th and last until August 4th.

Rewards
Basic reward: [Ore Refiner's Writ], [Ore Jewelsmith's Writ], or [Artificer's Writ] - a quest item to start you on your limited-time crafting profession.
Advanced reward: The Twilight's Ward, a live-event slot item with an absorb shield proc.
Elite reward: [Potion of Acclaim], the Cloak of Twilight for the forces of Order, or Cloak of Shadowy Tendrils for the forces of Destruction. Cloak previews are available here.

Completing the Event Quest - A Sapherian Unicorn for the forces of Order, or a Dark Unicorn / Twilight's Ascent Disc for the forces of Destruction. Mount previews are available here, and discs here.

All Live Event rewards are only available from the associated heralds: Morlian Shadowsight in the Altdorf War Quarters, or Plykar Flayedhand in the Inevitable Slaanesh Chambers.

Twilight's Tide Rings
The main element of this live event is the ability for players to craft their own rings, tailored to their needs. 40 combinations have been made, which across four tiers (levels 11, 21, 31, and 40) and four rarity brackets (green, blue, purple, red) equals 440 rings. Upon being crafted rings will have a talisman slot intended for unique live-event talismans, though the rings will decay after 30 days and turn into a permanent ring without a talisman slot. The talismans only work on these event rings for balance purposes.

Twilight's Tide Professions
During Twilight's Tide elven smiths will share the secrets of their craft - all for your realm's greater glory! The basic reward for this live event consists of three writs: one for an ore-refiner; one for a jewelsmith, an one for an artificer. These professions allow players to refine raw materials into a refined product which can be used to craft a ring or talisman.

Ore-refiners can turn metal ore into metal bars. The metal of a ring determines its defensive property. Silver increases spiritual resistance predominantly. Gold increases elemental resistance predominantly. Copper increases corporeal resistance predominantly. Platinum increases all resistances evenly. Iron increases armor instead of resistances for those who shun the ways of magic... and grow beards.

Jewelsmiths can turn unrefined gems into refined gemstones to set in a ring. Gemstones determine the primary stats a ring will have, with the secondary stat typically being wounds. Sapphires grant intelligence. Rubies grant strength. Emeralds grant will power. Amethyst grant toughness. Diamonds grant wounds with a secondary of toughness. Topaz grants ballistics skill. Citrine grants initiative. Onyx grants weapon skill.

Artificers can harvest damned souls for shards of aethyr, that is the Winds of Magic. Two different Winds of Magic can be bound by the artificer into a volatile talisman. No amount of skill can force the Winds of Magic to remain bound together, so these talismans will decay in time.

Refined resources are treated as crafting items and go into your crafting bag!

Players can only choose one profession, so they must work with others to refine all three types of raw materials! All refining attempts can yield four rarities of a refined product, ranging from uncommon (green) to rare (blue) and upwards to mythic rarity. Will fortune smile upon you and grant you a mythic rarity resource?

Obtaining Raw Resources
During Twilight's Tide players have a chance to drop a Crate of Metal Ore, containing one of five metals; a Box of Gemstone Ore, containing one of eight unrefined gemstones; or a Pouch of Aethyric Shards, containing one of eight aethyr-charged crystals. Players have a low chance of dropping Pouches of Aethyric Shards. The primary source of Pouches of Aethryic Shards are the damned daemons that invade Ulthuan. The higher the level/difficulty of the mob, the higher the chance they will drop a Pouch of Aethyric Shards - and for those who are strong and daring, perhaps a lord will reward them with two Pouches of Aethyric Shards!

Crafting and Upgrading Your Rings
Rings come in four level-brackets, and in four rarity-brackets. Uncommon/Green rings are called 'Bands' and are the lowest level in every level-bracket. Bands do not have talisman slots, but they can be upgraded into Blue/Rare rings called 'Rings' which do have talisman slots. Purple/Very Rare rings are 'Signets' and become available at level 31. Mythic/Orange-Red rings are called 'Annulii' or 'Annulus' in the singular form - named for the Annulii Mountains that form the ring-shaped spine of the isle of Ulthuan. Annulii are only available at level 40.

Rings can be upgraded from Green > Blue > Purple > Red rarity, but only in their level bracket! Despite the same name, you cannot convert your level 11 Green ring into a level 40 Blue ring! 11 > 11, 40 > 40.

All Ring Vendors will persist five days after the live event ends as they pack their bags. So be sure to keep you resources to trade with your friends until the very end!

Dyes
Twenty-two rare dyes are available only during this live event, for those who wish to expand their colorful horizons. Six dyes are specular dyes which will dye the specular area of armor pieces that have specular areas. Dye previews are available here, but please be aware that the colors may apply differently on different base armor colors. We hope to continue to introduce new dyes based on inspiration from the source material in the Live Events to come.

2025 Updates
- The drop rate of Ore and Gemstone boxes from player kills has been slightly increased. The drop rate has been even further increased when killing a high Renown Rank player.
- A portal has been added in Altdorf and the IC near the flight masters to teleport you closer to the Live Event area
- Tome Unlocks and Achievements have been added to the live event
- Live Event tasks have been updated, removing mandatory participation and wins in scenarios. Players can now chose to do other content to complete a task
