They say that during Forefathers’ Eve, it’s better not to walk alone. Not simply because it’s dangerous, but because, to say the least, the world becomes less predictable. The line between the worlds of the living and the dead becomes as thin as a spider web – trees have ears, ruins have memory, and creatures that have stayed silent up to this point suddenly feel… invited. Let the Lyrist’s tale guide you once again.
Instructions
Important information: this year’s Forefathers’ Eve will be active on the following servers: Thanar, Kaalor, Veskara, Thalia, Pavar, Wyvern, Naravar, Omnar. The event will not take place on the new Cordis and Renlis servers.
Duration
This year, the tormented souls will accompany you longer than the last time – you’ll have a week to help them. The event starts on October 26th (10 AM server time) and ends on November 2nd (10 AM server time).
During this time, you’ll be able to defeat a maximum of 1000 event mob groups (no matter their type). To check your progress, simply type /checkEvent in the chat.
A day earlier, the Lyrist will spawn in various areas. He’s the harbinger and guardian of the ritual and will set the mood for the event. Just remember that the actual event starts on Monday at 10 AM server time!
Rewards and Activities
The rules are simple. Sharpen your weapons and refill mana because you will be facing off against countless undead. Unfortunately, there is nothing that can be done for them anymore. There are, however, souls that can yet be redeemed… with your help, of course.
Some foes possess items craved by the suffering souls that appear on the maps again and again. From Drowned Man, Arsonist, Thief and Taernian Deserter, you will learn what they need to finally find redemption. For redeeming souls on maps dedicated to your level range, you will be awarded event points. In exchange for them, you’ll get additional rewards – gold, experience and psychoexperience. You can get the extra rewards a maximum of 20 times.
Important: During the event, NPCs cannot be given items outside of the right level range. Please pay attention to the item descriptions.
Items and NPCs accepting them:
- Drowned Man – an Oar
- Arsonist – a Bucket of Water
- Thief – a Coin
- Taernian Deserter – a Taernian Sword
A variety of rewards will be granted for returning the items – boss entries, utility items, and various currencies. Additionally, you’ll earn a lot of experience and psychoexperience for defeating the enemies.

For level 140 players, a special experience-to-psychoexperience converter will be enabled (applies to mobs in both level 140 ranges).
Locations and Level Ranges
- Fishermen Village – levels 1–19
- Trentis Hamlet – levels 20–39
- Bandit Forest, Swamp – levels 40–65
- Alaril, de Vries Estate, Crossroads – levels 66–89
- Khold Forest, University District – levels 90–109
- Orc Forest, Khold Mountains, Dmorther Ravine, Plateau – levels 110–139
- Hvar’s Wastelands, Dmorther Garrison – level 140 (easier mobs)
- Frozen Lake, Beirn, Mountainside – level 140 (harder mobs)
Once an event stage is complete, a couple of stronger mob groups with extra rewards will spawn on those maps.
Furthermore, two event achievements will be available:
- For the number of event enemies defeated
- For the number of items returned to NPCs
Once the event is over, the Lyrist will show up in Trentis, Khemenak, and Beirn. You’ll be able to give him all the items you didn’t give to the souls (no matter the level range) – the rewards will be the same. The NPC will leave after 48 hours.
We hope that many suffering souls will be helped and sent to the afterlife. We wish everyone a lot of fun, a great dose of experience, and deposits brimming with useful items.
Vestment of the Inner Eye – New and Returning Skins!
The Lyrist doesn’t come empty-handed. This year, he brings a completely new skin set – the Vestment of the Inner Eye, which comprises five pieces created specifically for this year’s edition of Forefathers’ Eve. The set will be added to the Premium Store when the event begins.
The Premium Store will also feature last year’s Forefathers’ Eve event skins – for those who missed them or decided to wait, it’s a great moment to get them. Vestment of the Inner Eye and last year’s set will be available in the Premium Store until November 9th (10 AM server time).
That’s not all. Other event skins, not necessarily related to Forefathers’ Eve, have recently been added to the Store. They’ll be available for a limited time. On the old servers, they’ll be gone on October 26th, while on the new ones (launched on October 21st together with the global Android release of Broken Ranks) you’ll have a little bit more time – until November 3rd. If anything catches your fancy, this is your last chance.
As for changes compared to the previous edition, we made two small modifications: you will also be able to gain psychoexperience at levels 1–19, and the rewards will be slightly different.
