Furry up for the Gibberling Festival!

Warning: The following announcement may be hazardous to an Orc’s mental health

Every so often a special time arrives in Sarnaut, one of fur, fun, more fur, some rage, even more fur and the sight of the occasional drunken Gibberling family asleep in the streets of Novograd. It’s a tradition that dates back to the initial treaty between the Kanians, the Elves and the Gibberlings, one that safeguarded the most sacred of Gibberling customs, the random festival where they get drunk and wear silly outfits! We’re talking of course about the Gibberling Festival!
 

Yes, it’s that time of year where we celebrate the most beloved (kinda) of Sarnautian races with their very own festival! So what’s in store for the streets of Novograd and the fields of Lightwood? Well from Monday, April 15th, until April 24th, we’re going to be making every Gibberlings’ time in Allods Online an extra special one!
 
As we all know from our Sarnautian history classes, the Gibberlings are adventurous little people, their inquisitive nature often landing them in trouble. But this side of them has also led to some of the most important discoveries, namely falling off an allod in a fishing boat and realising that they, and us, could float in the astral! And from this simple accident the Gibberlings have spread across the entire astral, in search of fun, danger and nice shiny things. Well each year the most daring of our furry little friends return to Novograd with a wealth of stories and sackfuls of their most prized treasures.
 
To celebrate their race, they happily offer these to any Gibberling with Special Holiday Coins to use through the Holiday Committee, found in Novograd itself!
 
So whether you’re a Brawler, an Animist, a Trickster or a Seer now is your time to shine in some fancy Gibberling costumes! But that’s far from all, as you will also have the chance to gain a special Bagpipe emote ability that will make you into your very own One Man Band!! Well a Three Gibberling Band I guess….so a regular band I suppose….it’s the Gibberling festival!!
 


So to snag these amazing Gibberling outfits, and to learn the bagpipes, you simply need to be a Gibberling and take your Anniversary Coins to one of the Holiday Committee representatives around Novograd! For you League playing, non-Gibbs out there we have some good news too, the Gibberlings will be able to put all of the outfits up for auction in Auction House! So you too can celebrate the most important, tiny creatures in all of Sarnaut in style!
 

Festive Gibberling Headgear: Can be traded or auctioned

Bagpipes: Bound, can only be used by the Gibberlings
 
But what of the Orcs and the rest of the Empire? Well don’t worry, because Yasker has been known to throw a good party or two in his time. Knowing him like you do you can be sure that he will take note of these festivities and plan a gala of perhaps even greater size for his troops! Be sure to keep an eye on upcoming events in Nezebgrad to find out exactly what he has planned!
 
For now though it is the League’s time to celebrate! Elves and Kanians should be aware that any accidents that befall them at this time due to drunken Gibberling behaviour will not be brought before the Novograd City Council, they fear the wrath of a Gibb on too many cocktails just as much as you do!
 
The Gibberling festival runs from Monday, April 15th until April 24th, so don’t miss out on picking up your own set of bagpipes and a stylish outfit to match!

Event: Freeze and Go Seek!

The band of squirrel bandits are at it again with their snatching ways. They have moved on from stealing artifacts from our leaders’ treasure room. Now they are into corrupting Sarnaut’s history by stealing the frozen Gibberling statues from the Sarnaut’s National History Museum from Frozen Frontier! We need those frozen Gibberlings back!
 
The squirrels have littered the Frozen Gibberlings around their roosting nests. Finds the squirrel’s nest and you will find the frozen gibberling. The volunteer museum GMs will give hints as to where they think each frozen gibberling is being hidden one at a time. Together, we will ensure the safekeeping of Sarnaut’s history!
 
Rules:
• The hunt begins this Friday, December 7th at 4 PM PST – Avilon server
• The hunt begins this Friday, December 7th at 5 PM PST – Yul server
 
Server Clock
 
• For League, the hunt will take place in Siveria
 


 
• For Empire, the hunt will take place in Igsh Military District
 

 
• The volunteer museum GMs will give hints as to where they think each frozen gibberling is being hidden one at a time throughout Siveria or Igsh Military District over zone chat.
• Be one of the first five hunters to locate and touch the frozen gibberling, and you will be awarded with 40 June Coins!
• Each participant is only allowed to win 40 June Coins. If you find a frozen gibberling once, you can continue to participate in the event although you will not receive additional June Coins to allow others a chance to win.
 
• June Coins that we’re adding to the winners of the event will appear in your currency tab (K) instead of your bag.
• Activating your Adventurer’s Stone to teleport to a Portal Keeper causes your Adventurer’s Stone to go on cooldown. However, June Coins allow you to bypass the teleport cooldown.
• Click on your Adventurer’s Stone while it is on cooldown (assuming you have June Coins) and you’ll teleport to the Portal Keeper destination.
• Each teleport while your Adventurer’s Stone is on cooldown will consume 1 June Coin.
 
Some of you may not be familiar with June Coins or how they work so here goes a brief explanation!
 
Orc: “Why would we want to help find the frozen Gibberlings? We hate Gibberlings!
Volunteer museum GM: “If you don’t help then you won’t get discount admission to Sarnaut’s National History Museum.”
Orc: “Oh, ok. Deep down inside we love the liberal arts and deconstructing the analytical thought processes behind paintings and fulfilling our thirst for knowledge. Knowledge is power!!!!”
