New World Update 1.9.2
Greetings, Adventurers!
New World Update 1.9.2 downtime will begin at 11:00PM PT (6:00AM UTC) on April 25. With the Corrupted Rabbits vanquished, the Springtide Bloom event will now blossom throughout Aeternum.
The Time of Awakening has arrived. Springtide Bloom calls its children to share an ancient secret capable of granting true freedom. Help the enigmatic Bloom Herald unravel the mysteries of the ethereal Wispybloom on April 26 through May 23 and collect Springtide's fertile bounty of event-specific rewards. Harvest with caution, as swarms of vile Wispy Wasps guard the blooms with fury!
Truth Seekers must be level 20 or higher to embark upon the quest for enlightenment. Check out the full reward and lore breakdown for more details.
“When conceiving the Springtide Bloom event, there was an opportunity to introduce some new mysteries to Aeternum,” said Narrative Designer Aaron de Orive. “The idea was to invoke a Folk Horror vibe by introducing the Children of Bloom. These individuals, dressed in creepy beekeeper robes, would tend the Wispyblooms that appear during this time of year. The blooms themselves would be harvested for their pollen, which the Children claim would allow individuals to achieve harmony and break free of the island.”
“Now whether those were just the deranged beliefs of a strange cult or something that held some aspect of truth remains to be seen. However, voices and strange laughter can be heard when picking the blooms. And the leader of the Children, the Herald of Bloom, claims that ‘The Folk’ are watching and waiting to enter Aeternum. Exactly who or what these entities are must remain a mystery for a while longer.“
