For this year's Anniversary Event, we will be using Awakening Coins for the event currency and as always players will have the option of completing either Daily Quests, World Quests, or both. The Event Shop will be removed along with the end of the event and additional purchase time will no longer be provided. All final purchases must be made before April 5, 2021.

To begin participating in the event, players must first speak to Priestess Cassandra for a brief introduction and access to the user interface (UI) for Awakening Coins as well as the Event Map. Please note that players can only activate the visual UI on ONE character from the account, and the main character of the account is most recommended to commence the event with. Other characters from the account will not be able to view the UI and completing any activities on those characters mentioned below will not grant you Awakening Coins. Do ensure that you begin the event with your main character to avoid any complications for the event. Once the UI has been granted, players can then proceed to the Event Map via the Dimensional Mirror.

All dates and times mentioned for the event are in GMT +8, please use the World Time Buddy application for conversion to other timezones.
