Highlights

The Celebration of Lliira has returned!

The festival honoring the Lady of Joy is back in Protector's Enclave!  Join other players in setting up dazzling displays of fireworks in Neverwinter.  These firework displays start every thirty minutes on the bottom and top of the hour, and those who contribute at least five Professional Fireworks have a chance to gain a token of Lliira's Favor, which can be spent on such items as Lliira's Bell or the Starry Panther mount.

 

There have been a couple quality-of-life updates to this event:

• Double-clicking on Professional Fireworks no longer opens the Professions window.
• The mortars now display at all times, and show an error message when the Light up the Night event is inactive.
