Ganksgiving Patch Notes

Thu, 27/11/2014 - 20:49

Greetings Agonians,

Today we will be patching in a seasonal event known as Ganksgiving, new unique Premium items in our Selentine shop and also a series of general updates and fixes. Stay tuned for our upcoming Relics patch, early next week, that is in the final testing phase.

Ganksgiving Event

“Ganksgiving! That very special time of year when Agonians from all over the land take a moment and give thanks for their finest moments of battle, be they steeped in heroic bravery or sadistic slaughter! Wishbones are collected from the mysteriously seasonal Growling Gobblers who migrate through the land and offered up as tribute for the glorious memories of battles past!

Starting today and for the next 4 days, Growling Gobblers will migrate across Agon in large herds. Consult your maps and find their daily grazing grounds!
Hunt them down and skin them to extract their Wishbones.”

Two New Event Feats

Thanksgiving: Novice Wishbone Gatherer. Skin 175 Wishbones from Growling Gobblers. 
Reward: The Pilgim (New headgear).

Thanksgiving: Competent Wishbone Gatherer. Skin 350 Wishbones from Growling Gobblers. 
Reward: Gangksgiving Feast (New Unique recipe).

“The Ganksgiving Feast is a feast laden table that can be deployed and interacted with by any player to enjoy Post-Feast Bliss, a powerful holiday buff that provides some healing and increases your health, mana, and stamina pools for a substantial duration.”

New Epic Feat

“Thanksgiving: Frenzealously Psycho-rabid Gobbler Slayer”
Reward: Overstuffed Gobbler (New Unique recipe).

“Only for the truly fanatical and dedicated player! Those with the mentally unstable levels of endurance required to accomplish this impossible feat will be rewarded with a unique recipe! They shall be the only ones on Agon who will be able to craft the very explosive Overstuffed Turkey and bring some holiday pain to the festivities!”

New Premium Skins

Among the latest skins to debut in the shop are a set of Legacy weapon skins that hail from Darkfall’s glorious past.

Shredder Shield
Blocking is more fun when you're tearing the flesh off your hapless enemies in glorious, meaty chunks!

Ghostclaw
The Ghostclaw brings a painful end to many a moonlit hunt. Rumored to be crafted from star-metal, this Mahirim weapon is said to never lose it's edge.

Ilshard
The Alfari claim this wicked halberd is forged from a shard of the night itself. When it cuts, the wounds slice clean through to your soul.

Lightbringer
Auros, it was said, wielded such a blade while ruling over Riada where he birthed the Mercian nation.

Ildhammer
Tapping into the fiery heart of the mountain, the Ildhammer is the weapon of the Ancient Dwarves.

Sunbow
Fashioned in remembrance for the Mirdain's long fallen brethren, this bow honors the Ithwen and their worship of the sun.

Aldaruk
In Orkspeak, the name translates to 'the Sender.'

New Premium Emote

Royal Emote
This emote would make General Zod green with envy!

New Premium Collectible Hat

The Chieftain
This headgear dates back to some of the more noble and older humans of Agon. Don this to honor their heritage.
