Vana'Bout

Vana'Bout is an event that lets you combine forces with players from all over the world!
Over the course of the challenge period, each adventurer will receive "plaudits" based on the value of their contribution when completing a special Records of Eminence objective. You can select the objective from "Special Events" in the Records of Eminence objectives list.
The total number of plaudits earned by adventurers around the world will be tabulated and if it exceeds the target amount, the challenge shall be considered a success! There will be a special reward campaign added to the usual monthly campaigns as part of the event.
In addition, personal rewards will be given to those adventurers who really make an effort during the event! The more plaudits you accumulate during the challenge period, the more rewards you can choose from.
Work together with adventurers from around the world to achieve your common goal!
