Neverwinter adventurers, the Summer Festival Event ends next week, but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy the festivities in the meantime. In fact, we're doubling Petal rewards and other event rewards until the event ends! Plus starting tomorrow 100 people will win a Sunite Priestess companion! Be sure not to miss out on these exciting changes to the event.

It’s that time of the year again when farm animals invade Neverwinter, water balloon fights are breaking out, and everyone is picking flowers! It just wouldn’t be summer in Neverwinter without the Summer Festival Event. This year’s festival features fun, new activities and brand-new rewards for players to earn, so log in now and celebrate the Summer Festival!

Event Begins: Thursday, August 21, 2014 at 10:00 AM (PDT)

Event Ends: Thursday, September 11, 2014 at 10:00 AM (PDT)

Special Priestess of Sune Companion Contest

Throughout the Summer Festival event, players can enter to win a Sunite Priestess companion simply for transferring any amount of Zen from ArcGames.com.* Each day, 50 players will be chosen at random to win the Sunite Priestess. Winners will be chosen at 10 AM PDT every day and announced later that day.

What is there to do in the Summer Event?

Starting now, a new summer event zone will be available to players. There you can complete daily quests or participate in one of the many contests, including the new Water Battle contest. There will also be special summer profession tasks as well as a brand-new dungeon in Sword Coast Adventures.

Quests

Yina Morradi will give players two daily quests to go along with the various contests that take place throughout the day. Completing these activities will grant players a variety of rewards including Fireblossom Petals.

Summer Feast Contest and Troll Fight Contest

Returning from last year’s event, players can participate in the Summer Feast and Troll Fright contest. Adventurers can herd animals back to their homes or pick corn from the large fields behind the farmstead. Players earn points for either activity during the contest.

Tired of farm duties? Trolls occasionally raid the southwest portion of the festival area. When they arrive, players of all levels can take them on, slaying them to receive contest points.

Water Battle Contest

When the trolls aren’t attempting to ruin the festivities, the same area is home to the brand-new Water Battle arena! Players can use Water Balloons to splash other players, giving points if you splash another player and losing points if you get hit.

What rewards can you earn?

Among the many festival foods and currencies that can be gained, players can also earn some of the most sought after and unique summer rewards:

Blue Ribbon Pig and Sunite Steed

Sunite Fashion Set

Sunite Weapon Set

Need a bit more petal in your mettle? The Sunite Weapon Set offers transmutation items that are sure to give you a much-needed dose of flower power!

Pinata

An instant favorite, the Pinata can be attacked by anyone and will drop candy, gold, and magical items. If only there was a way to constantly spawn a dragon piñata in real life…

Sword Coast Adventures

A special Summer Event dungeon will be included in Sword Coast Adventures that features many non-combat encounters and, in the spirit of this peaceful festival, culminates in an encounter with a Hero’s Feast.

Summer Provisioning

During the festival, a special profession will be made available. Players can recruit a Sunite Acolyte and use reagents only available from participating in the festival to craft various food and clothing items.

With all the amazing rewards and fun times to be had, this is sure to be the best Summer Festival Neverwinter has ever seen! Are you excited to get a Pig Mount or the new Sunite Steed? Let us know on Facebook or Twitter using #NWSummer
