- From announcement on forums: "The Year of Darkpaw: An EverQuest® Celebration will start with Masquerades of Divinity where heralds to the Avatars of the Gods will make an appearance in various areas across Norrath.
- These heralds can be aided to help bring forth the Avatars themselves to be challenged as part of the celebration. These Avatars include familiar forms you have seen in the past, as well as some that have never been challenged.
- A new herald will appear at the beginning and at the middle of each month, two different heralds will appear every month up until September, and other surprises to be revealed.
- Completing tasks/missions will progress the Avatar’s camp, which needs to be max level to call forth the Avatar. Challenging these avatars can garner unique and powerful weapons to be earned.
- Don’t miss out on buying the ability to teleport to each celebration camp directly! This ability can be bought at each camp and is only available for the first month that Avatar’s camp is active.
Starting January 1, find the Herald of the Fathom Lord within Mystic Lake. Then in the middle of January find the Herald of the Wintry Guardian in Everfrost.
