Winter Festival of Strangers

Join the OrbusVR community in celebrating the Festival of Strangers! Starting Dec 5th and running through Jan 7th, the festival will feature new quests, missions, enemies, pets, armor and more!



Back in the days of old, when the nights were dark and long, the “Strangers” first descended. Snow-covered beasts of great strength and size, these creatures left their hillside caves at the first snow to wreak havoc on the villages of Patreayl. Isolated clans came together to beat the strange creatures back into the hills every year and afterward celebrate their victory. Thus, the Festival of Strangers was born.



Visit the Stranger Festival NPC outside the gates of Highsteppe to pick up a quest to slay the Strangers—as well as embark on a hunt around Patreayl to track down two very different strangers. Complete all the quests from this NPC to receive a full set of Snowman armor transmogs. You can also visit the Festival Farmer outside Pierre Cenn’s shop to start a scavenger hunt to find all the mysterious floating lights around the country—or visit Pierre himself to capture wild snowmen and earn a pet.

You will notice a lot of big changes to the terrain also, from ice choked bays in Hulthine’s Basin to snow crested fields throughout the realm. The residents of Highsteppe have even decorated for the festival! We hope you enjoy exploring the new winter wonderland that is Patreayl.
