Vana'Bout (RoE)

Vana'Bout challenge rounds introduce two types of quests for adventurers to undertake and earn plaudits redeemable for prizes. Daily tasks cycle every Japanese midnight, and Round challenges are active for the duration of the event. Round One objectives all focused on Ambuscade and reset every day regardless of individual completion.
Players have until Japanese midnight on the day of their next login during an active Vana'Bout to complete activated objectives. Game Director Fujito produced this diagram in an attempt to explain how it now works.
The general idea is to give players more time flexibility to complete active objectives without rushing to log in before the end of a daily cycle. Completed objectives will always cycle out the next japanese midnight.
