This event occurs biannually: once during the Vernal Equinox and once during the Autumnal Equinox.

General Information

The Equinox is upon us!

With Avalon's shields strengthed in the equinox, the Druids of Avalon have come out of their hidden island to Agartha with the assurance that their home will be safe in the mean time.

The Envoys of Avalon event is a biannual event occurring during the autumnal and vernal equinoxes and consists of a unique seasonal Legend list and the side missions The Equinox and The Equinox - Further Testing.

Various Envoys of Avalon can be found wandering the Hollowed Halls of Agartha during this time, while the main druidic representative Fearghas Abernathy stands tall by the very Seed of Life itself (565,190).

Envoy of Avalon Quartermaster

By the Seed of Life in Agartha's Hollowed Halls is a Quartermaster of the Envoys of Avalon (565,190) who works alongside Fearghas Abernathy and the other druidic Envoys of Avalon on their duties into the World Tree.

The Quartermaster provides a series of titles exclusive to the Envoys of Avalon, as well a unique outfit: the Attire of Avalon. The Attire of Avalon is additionally awarded from the achievement "The Once and Far Future King" for completing 100 waves of Occult Defence scenarios during the event; however, every wave completed will reduce the cost of the Attire as sold by the Quartermaster by 36 Aurum.

No achievements are required in order to buy from her.

The Envoy of Avalon Quartermaster lingers in Agartha for two weeks after the Equinox has ended and the other druids have left to return to Avalon.

Stonehenge Simulation

Fearing for the worst, the Druids of Avalon have collaborated with the Council of Venice to simulate an occult disaster at Stonehenge itself in the form of a new type of scenario: Occult Defence.

Their Envoys seek volunteers to participate in the Occult Defence Scenario, offering rewards to those who do so while the Druids are present in Agartha for the Equinox.

The Equinox

During the Equinox, the Envoys of Avalon award those who participate in the Stonehenge Occult Defence Scenario.

Acquired from Fearghas Abernathy in front of the Seed of Life in the Hollowed Halls of Agartha (565,190), The Equinox is a side mission requiring the completion of 10 individual waves of an Occult Defence Scenario. These waves not be consecutive, so as many scenarios can be run as needed to complete this task. The Equinox is not repeatable but rewards players with a piece of the Druids of Avalon legend and 3 Spoils of the Equinox.

Once The Equinox has been completed, a new version, The Equinox - Further Testing, becomes available. The Equinox - Further Testing is a repeatable mission and only requires 5 Occult Defence Scenario waves, rewarding 1 Spoils of the Equinox when turned in.

The Druids of Avalon appreciate your cooperation.

A walkthrough for The Equinox is available alongside one for The Equinox - Further Testing!

Occult Defence Scenario Overview

An Occult Defence Scenario is a scenario in which the goal is to protect a central figure from endless waves of enemies. To enter an Occult Defence Scenario, use the Activity Finder (Shift+V) and queue from there.

Occult Defence scenarios can be completed in solo or multiplayer form, and the only requirement for the first wave (Wave 1 [Elite 1]) is that any player attempting to enter the scenario be Level 50. From there, waves listed in the Activity Finder are every other wave, resulting in odd numbered waves. Queueing for waves 3 (Elite 2) - 9 (Elite 5) requires either the player have the required Item Power for the corresponding Elite difficulty level or have achieved that wave by playing through a scenario. Waves 11+ can only be entered through the Activity Finder after having successfully reached the wave before them in a scenario.

A wave consists of a series of mobs all attempting to attack the Hagstone or otherwise hinder you. They spawn from purple portals found along the perimeter of Stonehenge. A variety of enemies exist, each with unique abilities to deal with.

Each wave has a duration timer of 3 minutes and 20 seconds. Upon reaching 00:00 time, a boss will appear and the clock will stop until all remaining mobs as well as the boss are defeated.

The Hagstone sits in the center of Stonehenge, and must be defended throughout the scenario. Should mobs come close to the center, the Hagstone begins to lose Integrity, its health. Once it reaches zero Integrity, the Scenario ends and rewards will be given based on the last wave successfully completed, if any.

Certain mobs, when killed, will cause a powerup buff to spawn at the Hagstone, as signified by a spiraling blue magic released upon the mob's death. These buffs can be a great boon when used!

Once a wave has been successfully completed, a player is given the option to choose to continue to a higher wave or to collect your rewards. The time between waves is infinite, allowing as much time to pause or relax as a player needs.

Choosing to advance to the next wave will simply restart the scenario at the next wave.

As difficulty ramps up through a progression of waves, more challenging enemies will appear and bring with them the need for new strategies to consider, in some cases entirely new enemy types will make themselves known in the higher waves.

Should the player choose instead to receive their rewards, the scenario will end and a Reward Chest will appear.

A full, detailed guide of Occult Defence Scenario content and mechanics is coming soon!

A legend category is associated with the Occult Defence Scenario; however, the legend is not part of the Envoys of Avalon event and as such, is accessible permanently year-round. This legend is the Stonehenge Simulation.

Occult Defence Scenario Rewards

Upon voting to stop and collect rewards instead of continuing on to the next wave in an Occult Defence Scenario, a Reward Chest will appear requiring 1 Scenario Key to unlock and receive the loot within.

The rewards available from within Occult Defence Scenarios and their associated achievements are a permanent addition to Secret World Legends, much like the Occult Defence Scenario itself.

As the Envoys of Avalon request volunteers for the Stonehenge simulation scenario, the scenario rewards will inevitably be earned to some extent while participating in this event.

Reward Chest List

The following are potential rewards available from the Reward Chest of an Occult Defence Scenario.

Clothing Rewards

Druidic garments can be gained from the Envoys of Avalon. They can be previewed in the Dressing Room. As of the Vernal Equinox 2020, there is not yet a seasonal sticker icon to identify them with.

Attire of Avalon - Outfit

The Attire of Avalon - Outfit is acquired in two ways. It is rewarded in its entirety for completing the Envoys of Avalon achievement, "The Once and Far Future King" for completing 100 waves of Occult Defence Scenarios during the event.

For those who fail to earn the achievement by the event's end, the Envoy of Avalon Quartermaster next to Fearghas Abernathy in Agartha (565,190) sells the Attire of Avalon - Outfit for a base price of 3,600 Aurum. She is present in Agartha for two weeks after the other Envoys of Avalon leave, and it is only then that the Attire of Avalon - Outfit can be purchased from her.

Each Occult Defence Scenario wave completed during the Envoys of Avalon event reduces the cost of the Attire of Avalon by 36 Aurum, making it increasingly more cheap to buy up until the point where it's awarded for free from "The Once and Far Future King".

All pieces of the Attire of Avalon differ between Male and Female characters. In particular, the Attire of Avalon chest, legs, and feet differ drastically moreso than the jacket. Additionally, the Male and Female jacket and legs are patterned oppositionally to each other - where the male version of the jacket is a solid green, the female is plaid, whereas the male legs are plaid and the female legs are a solid green.
