addedWhat's NewThe Lunar Dragon — A new event boss with three phases. It circles, it weaves figure-8s across the sky, and when it's wounded enough, it collapses into an eclipse and hunts players directly. Fight it where it appears. Bring friends. Sky Lanterns — Festival spirits wandering the realm, glowing quietly until struck. Hunt them for festival drops, and if you're very lucky, something older might fall out of one... the Dragon Dance never really ended. Lunar Elixir — A new consumable distilled from moonlight. Drink it and slip into the eclipse's shadow for a few seconds. Useful for escaping, repositioning, or sneaking a kill.

changedNew RewardsLunar Dragon Horns — wear the eclipse on your brow

changedNew RewardsPet Lunar Dragon — a one-time-use moonlight serpent that rides with you until death (save it permanently for 1,000 medallions)

addedNew RewardsFirework Bow & Boots — explosive new gear dropping fresh from the dragon

changedNew RewardsLunar Elixir — short-lived invisibility from the boss or from spawned Sky Lanterns

addedNew RewardsLegacy loot returns — the old New Year's dragon set (armor, robe, and the full 3-piece Dragon Dance hat) has a small chance to drop from Sky Lanterns. Rarer from wild lanterns, more generous from spawned ones.

The Lunar Fest Begins

The lanterns rise. The moon darkens. Somewhere in the sky, something is watching. The Lunar Festival has come to the Outer Realm. Hang your lanterns. Sharpen your blades. Because when the eclipse draws near, so does the Lunar Dragon — a multi-piece serpent of moonlight and fury that hunts from the shadow of the moon itself.

Lunar Festival Quest

A purchasable event quest is available for the duration of the festival. Complete three phases — hunt Sky Lanterns, slay the dragon, face it one more time under the full eclipse — to earn Lunar Dragon Horns and summon your own Pet Lunar Dragon companion. Repeat the quest to stockpile Sky Lantern spawners for farming on your own terms.

Running Now

The moon won't stay this dark forever — the eclipse closes on April 27, 2026. Chase the dragon while you still can.
