Notes

• Each event chain starts with same two events, differing only in mobs that are spawned during those events. You can discern which event chain is currently active based on these mobs:
  • Bloodstone elementals and ghosts, leading to the Overload the jade construct by throwing overcharged coalesced Mists energy into it while it's at full health event.
  • Titanspawns, leading to the Keep the jade construct alive by throwing coalesced Mists energy into it as it fights the titanspawn event.
  • Mistburned creatures, leading to the Defeat Yagon and the captured jade construct event.
• Once one event chain ends, another in sequence will start at the base after a few minutes.
• Upon successful completion, 1 node of Bloodstone-Infused Pond Fish and 6 nodes of Mursaat Obsidian will spawn: 2 around Yagon's Gift and 4 further up the valley.
  • A maximum of 18 of these Mursaat Obsidian nodes can be mined per account per day.
• The final event of the event chain will rotate as the following: Overload the jade construct > Keep the jade construct alive > Defeat Yagon and the captured jade construct

Bug:

Meta will display "It is safe to explore." message, even though the event has failed and the valley is clearly still dangerous.
