Event Activities and Participation:
Participants in the Feast of Lanterns event will have the opportunity to engage in various activities to celebrate the lunar New Year. By taking part in these activities, players can earn event-specific currencies, namely Dragon Coins and Lunar Coins, which can be exchanged for rewards.
- Nightly Fireworks: Players can assist in the fireworks display near the Hall of Justice to contribute to the festive atmosphere.
- Red Envelopes: There’s a quest to distribute red envelopes to NPC adventurers in Protector’s Enclave, reflecting the tradition of giving during the New Year.

Event Rewards:
The event offers a variety of rewards, including the Juvenile Jade Dragonnel Companion and the New Year’s Dragonnel Mount, which require Dragon Coins and Lunar Coins respectively for redemption. Additional rewards, such as Shou Ceremonial weapon transmutes and festive items like Mochi, Niangao, Mooncake, and Fireworks, are also available, allowing participants to immerse themselves in the celebration.
Zen Market Offerings:
