With the introduction of the Battlerage system, and the happenings detailed in EVENTS #503, there's a lot going on this weekend. This post serves to clarify and cover some of the OOC aspects of the event.

* Double XP is in effect until 23:59 GMT on Monday evening (19:59 EDT, 16:59 PDT).

* The invasion will have continual waves of creatures - they're quite difficult, and will probably require more than one adventurer to defeat.

* The invaded harbours are restricted by level, allowing the possibility for greater participation across spread of adventurer levels:
- Thraasi Harbour - Level 5 - 60.
- Sea Lion Cove - Level 61 - 90.
- Tasur'ke Beach - Level 91+

* Each killing blow you land will grant you some esteem with the defending forces, led by Captain Maelstrom. You can use this esteem to claim rewards from him later in the event!

* After every few waves of invaders, there will be a significantly stronger invader who is summoned (i.e. a "boss"). These denizens, being much more difficult to defeat, will have a chance to drop pieces for the new CLAYFIGURINE talisman. When completed, this talisman will cosmetically transform your ship's crew into waterlogged, undead versions of their former selves.
