It’s that time of the year again when adventurers gather in Protector’s Enclave to set off fireworks in honor of the Goddess of Joy. We’re happy to announce that the Celebration of Lliira will be returning to Neverwinter next week! Get ready to light up the night sky and earn some awesome rewards.

Starting on July 3rd, 2014, players will honor Lliira, the goddess of joy, freedom and liberty by completing daily quests and setting off fireworks. Players will be rewarded with Tokens of Lliira’s Favor which can be exchanged for many items in the event store.

Event Start: Thursday July 3, 2014 at 10 AM PDT (When is this for you?)

Event End: Monday July 7, 2014 at 10 AM PDT (When is this for you?)

Where will the Celebration of Lliira Event take place? Protector's Enclave.

What can players participate in? Players can also participate in the “Light up the Night” Zone Contest in Protector’s Enclave. Every 30 minutes, on the hour and the half hour, a contest will be run in Protector’s Enclave in which players will be tasked with loading the firework podium with as many Professional Fireworks as they can in a 10 minute period.

When the contest ends, a fireworks display will illuminate the night sky. The more fireworks are loaded, the more spectacular the display will be. Players will also gain Tokens of Lliira’s Favor for participating in the event with the top three contributors receiving bonus prizes.

How can you collect Professional Fireworks? Players can collect Professional fireworks by defeating creatures, within 7 levels, while the event is live. There can be an unlimited number of fireworks collected, provided you have the inventory space for it.

Players can also collect firework crates scattered throughout Protector's Enclave, but only if they have less than 5 fireworks in their inventory. This will be a great way to collect fireworks during the zone contest.

What rewards can you claim for honoring Lliira? Players can turn in Tokens of Lliira's Favor for many rewards:

Lliira's Dye Pack – dye your armor with the signature colors of the goddess. It’s a great way to honor Lliira and also get a fresh new look.

Ceremonial Mask of Lliira – This star-shaped mask is the traditional headwear during the Lliira’s Night festivities.

Lliira’s Fireworks – Honor the Lady of Joy and celebrate Neverwinter’s continued freedom by setting off these fireworks into the night sky. Comes in small and large varieties.

BBQ Meat Potion – New to this year’s event, this piece of smoky protein will heal you for a small amount, but will cleanse any harmful debuffs.

Lliira’s Bell – the melodic ring of Lliira’s bell will fully heal your companion and will also grant 10 seconds of immunity to your companion, even if they are unconscious.

Favored of Lliira – for those who seek to unlock Achievements will be able to unlock “Favored of Lliira” by completing three daily quests during the event.

We’re can’t wait to see everyone in Protector’s Enclave setting off fireworks and “Lighting up the Night” next week when the event goes live. Are you excited for the Celebration of Lliira? Let us know on the official Neverwinter forums.
