Greetings, Ascended!

We hope all of you are friends with the feathered kind!
It’s time for the return of the Budgies!

Earn Chaos Motes by completing special daily quests! You can find the quest givers in Meridian, Sanctum, and Tempest Bay.

Some seasoned professionals may be out on that racetrack, so here are some tips to be just like them:

🐦 Stay within the marked path!
🐦 White checkpoints need to be hit throughout the race.
🐦 Make sure to make it to the green boosts first to receive Terminal Velocity to make your opponents eat your dust.
🐦 Avoid Orange Traps, they’ll only slow you down!

There are several mounts to get for Chaos Motes! Do you prefer a little companion on your side? Don’t worry, we got just the right things for you!

Budgie Madness will end on August 20, 2023, at 11:59 PM server time, so grab as many Budgies as you can hold on to!

Hop, Sprint, and Jump to that Finish Line!

⚠️ Known Issue: Budgie quests auto-abandon for players on NA shards - the team is currently investigating this issue.

Call to Action: Mech is back! 🤖

The excitement and electricity are in the air until August 6, 2023.
Test your strength against the mechs and earn amazing items! 🎖️

The following two mounts will be available in the Store:
• Faewood Infinity Walker
• Red & Silver Empyreal Walker

Collect enough Chaos Motes for special Walkers – this event runs from August 4, 2023 (starting at 12 am server time) to August 6, 2023 (ending at 11:59 pm server time). 🚀

As with other World Events, there will be a quest starter in each home city. You’ll be asked to run an Expert Dungeon with LFG, participate in Warfronts, complete the Mech Zone Event, and collect drops from special Mech Invasions and Footholds!

• Empyreal Walker
• Black Empyreal Walker
• Golden Empyreal Walker
• Infinity Walker

In addition to the clanking wonders, you can earn:

• Mech Companion Pets

We were waiting for a whole year! Now the time has finally come: The Summerfest is back! ⛱️

What is Summerfest? ☀️

You may be wondering about the origins of Summerfest. While some of the history is lost to time, many scholars believe that Summerfest dates back to ancient elven rituals involving burning sacrifices inside wicker figures. Of course, most elves would prefer to forget these barbaric references to their past. In fact, such practices are now forbidden by both High Elves and Kelari alike, although sometimes alluded to by disgruntled Dwarves.



What remains in modern Telara is a celebration of flames for all Ascended to enjoy. Summerfest is now the holiday that marks the longest days of summer in Telara. Ascended continue to celebrate ancient traditions and have fun, even in the sweltering heat. This helps lighten the mood and distract celebrants from the stress of the near-constant threats against Telara.

Take part in our various Summerfest activities, starting on June 28, 2023, at 0:01 AM server time, and earn as much event currency as you can!
