Summer Festival Event Details

Who do I talk to and how do I get started? Players should talk to Midsummer Priestess in Protector's Enclave who will send them to the Summer Festival adventure zone. You can travel to the festival grounds at any time through the in-game map.

What types of activities and events are available on the festival grounds? Every day, Yina Morradi will grant you repeatable quests and rewards for helping out with these activities:

- "Hungry Trolls" - Kill Trolls when the event begins and earn prizes by protecting the festival grounds.

- "Collecting Flowers" - Find Fireblossom Flowers from bushes on the festival grounds or reclaim them from mischievous  kobolds you defeat. Trade them into the Florist for rewards.

- "Summer Feast" - If you think dungeon delves are tough, try herding animals on the festival grounds! Herd chickens, pigs,  and gather precious corn for valuable points for the event. Also, keep an eye out for elusive creatures around the fields that will earn you extra points!

What rewards could I earn? Players could earn rare Sunite weapons, companions, mounts, fashion items, fireworks, or one of our favorites, Bottomless Waterskins - and more! Log in every day, participate, and enjoy the festivities. Also, logging in every day and completing dailies could earn you a Tribute to Sune; redeem them at the Tribute Store to retrieve special event rewards.

Earn an Armored Boar mount, Pig companion, and fashion items from the Summer Festival.

Special Event Profession: Summer Provisioning Profession

Players are able to craft special feast items and beautiful fashion garments available only while the event is running. Don't miss out on some great rewards!
