Hold onto your Balls, the Freedom Festival you knew from before has had a few changes and is returning to Erenor on June 24!

[h3]What do I do?[/h3]
If you're level 30 or above, celebrate Independence Day by completing quests from NPCs in the event grounds in Falcorth Plains and receive Freedom Festival Tickets for your hard work!
