Beat on Baalphazu!
We have the first event of the Aeternum rebirth today, as Nightveil Hallow returns with update 1.1.0. Nice to have a world boss to fight again, and the rewards from the Event Shop are some of the best in the game, especially for new players to collect. This is where you get the Jack-o-Lantern’s Smile pumpkin head skin, and the fun Possessed Walk emote.
The event runs from October 22 to November 5.
A Simple Quest
You can get a huge chunk of event reputation if you do the quest offered by Salvatore the Mad, who stands outside any Nightveil Cauldron, in each player settlement.
You’ll need to be Level 35 to start this quest. Players who have previously done the event should already have enough reputation to access all levels of the shop and will not be offered the quest.
All you need to do is go and kill Baalphazu and place an Ichor in the cauldron, and that completes the quest. Completing the quest unlocks the event shop.
Kill Baalphazu
To find Baalphazu, just check your map. There should be a purple and white symbol. You should be able to find him in Brightwood, Ebonscale Reach, Mourningdale or Weaver’s Fen.
Look for the icon on the map and post “X Event” or “X Baalphazu” to get an invite to the Raid and see where everyone is. If the icon is pulsing, someone is at the event.
Baalphazu will drop:
- Armour 5x daily
- Costumes 3x daily
- Ichor
Nightveil Cauldron
There’s a Nightveil Cauldron in every settlement, near the centre of town. Once you have some Ichor, you can drop it in the Cauldron for rewards. Each Ichor grants a Nightveil Cache, which can contain:
- 7-13 Nightveil Tokens
- Random Neightveil Hallow weapon pattern
- Coin Bag (max 3 per day)
- Diamond Gypsum
Event Shop
Once you have some tokens, you can spend them in the Event shop. There are no new rewards this year, but the Armor and Weapon patterns have been updated. For those who’ve done this before, the most exciting item is the Chromatic Seal, although the patterns look interesting too.
Nightveil Patterns
The new Nightveil Legendary 700GS Patterns roll Bind on Pickup armour with Constitution, Health, and Enchanted Ward, and a random third perk. The Epic patterns that require craft skill and materials roll with Constitution, Health, and two random perks, and are Bind on Equip, so you can sell them.
The armor appearances look new, but they are the same for all weights of armour.
The Legendary weapons have Flame Attunement and Lifestealing, and the Epic ones have Flame Attunement.
Costumes and Candy
When you don one of the Costumes, it lasts 30 minutes and allows you to collect the candy baskets hidden around the settlements. The costumes allow you to dress up as:
- Captain Thorpe
- Adiana
- Anubian Reaver
- Lost Monarch
The baskets have a chance of containing:
- Baalphazu armor (10% chance)
- 2 Nightveil Tokens
- Mystery Candy (4 varieties)
