Update: The Ghost Keep event and Ellan Vannin portal ceremony, Buggane's Obelisk buff, and keep changes will remain in effect until patch 1.123 when permanent solutions will be addressed.

Rites of Spring Event



Ghost Keep Event Changes

When a realm completes the initial Ancient NPCs' quests by reaching the threshold first, the Ghost Keep Lord will now immediately spawn and offer the Grave Honor quest. The Ghost Keep Summoner will no longer spawn and there will no longer be a Summoning phase after the initial quests are completed. The Wraith and Reaper quest givers will also immediately spawn after the Ancient NPCs' quest threshold is reached.

The threshold for completing the Ancient NPCs' quests in each realm has been tripled.

These changes should streamline the event and help encourage active participation at each stage!
