Festival of Fire Dynamic Event

The Festival of Fire event only takes place at night in Fonos Basin. Rankings are based on how much Fire Energy is turned in. You can acquire Fire Energy by slaying any Orcs in the region. Special mobs appear throughout the event, which drops a larger amount of Fire Energy compared to normal mobs.

Event Timing

Event Details

Magic Circle Turn-Ins

The event has 3 Magic Circle Turn-Ins: the Cold, Frost, and Icebound Magic Circles. You can turn in any amount of Fire Energy you collect at these points. If it's a PvP event, I highly suggest you turn in any excess Fire Energy in case you die and lose them all. If you're a big farmer, remember that the maximum Fire Energy you can have on you at any moment in time is 999.

Orc Chief Brawler

Orc Chief Brawlers drop around 100 Fire Energy and respawn 5 minutes after they're killed.

Fire Rituals

4 Fire Rituals occur throughout the event at the above-mentioned times. The upcoming site(s) of each Fire Ritual becomes displayed on your minimap 1 minute before they start. Once the ritual begins, you find a Fire Orc Chief Priest in the middle. The area surrounding the Fire Orc Chief Priest is set aflame. Standing in the area passively increases the amount of Fire Energy you have without killing mobs. Killing the Fire Orc Chief Priest stops the flames and drops a large amount of Fire Energy.

Fire Cave

At 10 minutes and 30 seconds, Enchanted Fire Orcs start to appear in the Fire Cave, replacing all normal mobs. You can see where the Fire Cave is in the map image at the top of the article. These Enchanted Fire Orcs have significantly more HP but drop an enormous amount of Fire Energy; they do not respawn after being killed. Once the Fire Cave is clear, normal mobs do not spawn again.

Tips

• During Dominion Events, turn in frequently if you're trying to rank high. If your team never controls a point, try sneaking in with Camouflage Cloak. If you don't have a dagger, you can try grouping up with players on your team and pushing. It's important to direct your team to the turn-in locations before they appear to control the map.
• In Dominion Events, if your team controls a Fire Ritual location, do not kill the Fire Orc Chief Priest. Your entire team can just farm Fire Energy by sitting in the zone. The easiest one to farm is the one that spawns near the Frost Magic Circle.
• If you don't want to share Talismans with anyone who tags your mobs, make a party. Being in a party prevents anyone outside your party from sharing drops. You can generate your own party, by clicking the party icon and clicking "Generate Invitation Link". No one else needs to join.
• The Fire Cave is nice if you're able to get a tag on a mob. It's not nice when you can't. Try to memorize the spawn location of certain mobs so that once it hits 10:30, you can instantly tag it. You can also lay down some persistent AoE to guarantee it. If you're not in a party and the other person who tags something first is also not in a party, the drops are shared amongst both people.
• I personally prefer farming around areas where Orc Chief Brawlers spawn instead of trying to go for the Fire Cave. I usually outcompete everyone that tries to sit in my spot.
