Do you have what it takes to defeat Droughtman's Challenge?!

Find out, beginning January 19, 2018!

"How does it work?"

It's easy! Buy your passes, and then head to the Event Portal locations in game! Redeem your pass, and ask the attendant about access to the maze.

Abandoning all your supplies, you'll be given a survival kit containing (among other things) a random melee weapon, a random ranged weapon, a random piece of protective armor or a shield, and a mysterious blue wand (No licking or eating the wands! The Management is not responsible for any injuries!)

Get out your wand and go through the door leading into the maze! Pull levers to open and close doors, and pull ropes to find a golden key. Don't dawdle in the Contestant's Box, time is running out! Each contestant will have FIVE MINUTES to find a key and then find the exit! There can only be one key at a time, so if someone else has it, then find them and freeze them with your wand to steal their key -- but be careful, someone can take it from you too!

"So what it is that makes all this worth while?"

EVERYONE WINS!

That's right! Everyone who steps up and accepts the challenge will win. No one will walk away empty handed! When your Challenge is over, you will be given a prize package as well as some credits for Droughtman's famous shop!

"What's in the shop?"

Inkpots -- NEW item! This is a special tattoo which holds a castable spell! Starglass -- NEW item! This is a wearable light source! Faesilk flower gowns -- NEW flowers to decorate your gowns with! Feature Mirrors -- NEW descriptions! Winged boots -- NEW materials! Flee in style! Concentration regeneration boosters! Mana regeneration boosters! Skeleton keys -- Open every box! Forge wands -- Unlimited uses! Spell wands -- Unlimited uses!

Head over to Droughtman's Compound and see if you can beat his challenge! You only have until January 28, 2018 to earn a spot at the top of the leaderboard and win a special prize from Droughtman!
