Overview[]
Oceansfull Festival is a Live Event which begins in August. While in-game, click on the EQ2 button and choose the Calendar to check the exact dates. It was first introduced in 2018.
Announcement[]
For generations, we othmir have been giving thanks to Prexus at this time of year for all he provides, above and beneath the waves. Join us as we celebrate along the oceans' edge in such places as Antonica, Commonlands, Greater Faydark, Tranquil Sea, Eastern Wastes and now Western Wastes. Dance with us and receive our blessings. It can be fortuitous when searching the waters nearby for evidence of The Ocean Lord’s generosity!
Mimmi has returned to Nipik’s Haven in Eastern Wastes shaken by events she witnessed and seeking mighty heroes. Give her a moment of your time, won’t you? May Prexus bless you in return!
This event content is currently set to run 8/7/2025 at 12:01 AM PT until 8/20/2025 at 11:59 PM PT on the live servers.

Find clam shells off shore in any of the areas where Oceansfull is being celebrated and open them up for rewards! You never know what you may find when you pry open a gift from Prexus.
- To make breathing under water possible, the Woodworker-crafted Totem of the Otter or the tinkerer-crafted Rebreather are recommended, though not necessary. You can also use the Fishbone Earring (HQ Reward), while Totems of the Turtle will help you see better as well.
- The Clam Shells have a slight timer on them, so you must wait to open the next one if you find several in one area — be mindful of your breath!
Shell Rewards[]
Examples of Oceansfull items found in shells (in '22). Click to enlarge.
Players will randomly receive a variety of items when opening shells. If you approach one of the celebration sites listed in [Celebration Locations] and your character begins to dance, with using the emote command for it, you will soon see the Othmir place a blessing on you. Once you have "Othmir Tribe Blessing" buff place on you the Shell Game Rewards will have a different outcome for you for its duration of 10 minutes. You can cancel this early by right click and canceling the buff, or have it reapplied by approaching the Othmir Celebration site once again as above and involuntarily dancing like before.
