GNOMEKINDLE NOTES[edit]
The gnomes of New Rachival have set up a new festival ground outside the city itself. They've named this “town” Gnomekindle Town and even elected a new mayor. In Gnomekindle Town you will find:
- ADD: Loremaster Burl who will teach you how Gnomekindle came to be.
- ADD: Mayor Clause who will teach you more about the traditions of Gnomekindle and enlist your help in delivering presents.
- ADD: Mrs. Clause who needs your help preparing for the festival.
- ADD: Hermey the Misfit Gnome. Hermey is a little unsure about whether Gnomekindle is a festival worthy of gnomes, and will ask you to help him learn about the traditions of another living race if you speak to him.
- ADD: Yukon Cornelius, the most famous (at least in his mind) prospector in all of Istaria. Gifted of different experience ranges will find that Yukon has different challenges for them.
- ADD: The Abominable makes an appearance in the mountains on Abandoned Isle.
- ADD: Darsenia is back and will give the long awaited shoulder treants to those willing to help her. But, of course, Darsenia only came to Gnomekindle Town because the Blighted Festival Treants have reappeared, this time right among regular treants. And the treants will still drop their ornaments when shaken enough so that Gifted can purchase Gnomekindle presents from special vendors in Gnomekindle Town.
- ADD: Dragons can purchase special headscales from Dolly Day, the Festival's official vendor, with Istarian Express Checks they collect during the festival.
- ADD: The Gifted will also be able to purchase special clothing designed specifically for the Gnomekindle festival from Dolly Day.
- ADD: Beasts of winter have been found with strange items coming from them as loot for those who are helping Yukon or Mrs. Clause. Speak to either of these revelers to find out why. (Only players with one of Yukon's or Mrs Clause's quests active will get the special drops for the Gnomekindle event. Their quests are repeatable, however, so players can have this quest active as long as they wish.)
