Events

1. Monster Defeat Challenge Event

How it works

Take part in the Defense of the Spring in the Amber Coast and Towerstead regions and defeat monsters to accumulate Skill Gem enhancement materials.

The challenge refreshes every day for two days — complete each one to claim every reward.

※ Challenge progress resets daily at 05:00 Area time at the end of each day.

2. Ranking Event

How it works

Earn points by defeating monsters and compete against fellow Embers in the same Realm for the top spot. Those who reach the top ranks will receive a special mount.

Ranking Event Details

  • The Ranking Event begins simultaneously with Steam Next Fest, and you'll compete against Embers within the same Realm.

  • Day 1 start times vary by Area depending on the Steam Next Fest launch time. Please keep this in mind, and be sure to join Day 2, where all Areas start at the same time.

  • Ranking rewards are delivered via mailbox for Day 1 and Day 2 separately. Players who achieve a top rank each day can receive rewards for both days. Note: if you already own the mount, receiving a duplicate will not add it again to your mount system.

※ A Realm refers to a server within an Area.

※ Ranking rewards become available at 05:00 Area time after each day's ranking is finalized.

Ranking Rewards
