[Game Event] Rum Runner Rapids! 2023

[AA Free Help]

Dear Player!​

The waterfalls in the Rookborne Basin are waiting for the daredevils. The competition for barrel riders begins today, August 02, and will last until on August 17. Take part in one of the most extreme events in the world of ArcheAge and earn Festival Tokens!

​

Competitions are held near the Thundering Rapids. To get here quickly, take advantage of the special portals in Austeria, Marianople and the Diamond shores.

Ehner and Brewmaster Vaughn will meet you in the festival area. The first will tell you about making barrels suitable for rafting, and the second about the conditions of the competition. Three descent tests await you - each more difficult than the last.

Before starting the rafting, do not forget to speak to the messenger standing next to Brewmaster Vaughn. In addition, Nogan can be found near them three times a day - she also has a task for you.
