Fury of the Spriggan
From one event to another!
It’s been a while since we’ve had a World Boss and this one comes hot on the heels of the Summer Medleyfaire. I wonder whether we’ll keep up a schedule like this until the New World: Aeternum release in October?
Where's the Spriggan?
You can find the Spriggan in Brightwood, Ebonscale Reach, Edengrove, Mourningdale, and Brimstone Sands.
Look for the icon on the map and post “X Event” or “X Spriggan” to get an invite to the Raid and see where everyone is.
If the icon is pulsing, someone is at the event.
Activate the Braziers
When you get to the Spriggan event spawn, you’ll see some braziers around the edge. If you activate these, you’ll get a boost in your damage that will help you in the fight. To get a brazier started, you’ll need:
- 10 Ironwood each
If you interact with an activated brazier, you’ll get the Brambleweaver empower buff, which lasts for 40 minutes. All three braziers need to be lit for the Spriggan event to start.
The Fight!
- Light the 3 Braziers
- Withstand 3 minutes of Angry Earth waves
- Kill the 4 Shaman
- Kill the Spriggan
The Spriggan is much like Zygoramet with the swinging branch arm, but he doesn’t roll up into a ball and regain health. Watch the floor for poison puddles and stay out of them. The main challenge is that the boss has lots of health, so it usually takes a lot of people to take him down. That’s why the Brazier buff is so useful. Once he’s dead, you’ll get your reward.
Daily Bonus
Each day you can kill the Spriggan 3 times for bonus loot in the Major Spriggan Spoils:
- Event-only Vinebourne Weapon
- Event-only Vinebourne Armor (Health perk locked)
- 20 Dark Matter
- 1 of 12 selected craft perk mods
- 1 of 6 exclusive Named items (25% chance)
- Timeless Shard (5% chance)
- Spriggan Flame Brazier housing item (2% chance – increases slightly after each roll)
Named Items
The Named Items have been up-levelled this year and it looks like they get the non-Bane two perks and then you can change the third perk, as per regular Upgrading rules.
However, be careful with using your resources on upgrading. From the look of it, there might be a bug where these are stuck at 650, even if you upgrade them. The interface is showing the third perk as greyed out and the resulting gear score on the right side panel as 650 instead of 700. Compare a normal upgrade craft below with an event one:
What if I kill more than three?
After you’ve got your three daily bonus, you can keep killing the Spriggan for the Minor Spriggan cache with the following rewards:
- Rare or above procedural weapon or armour (this mean it rolls with random perks)
- Various container resources
- Health, mana, etc consumables
- 1 Obsidian gypsum (up to 3 max per day)
