The nightmares return as the mysterious creature known as the Harvester of Nightmares arrives once again to feast on the restless dreams of the sleeping citizens of Protector’s Enclave.

A band of Vistani from distant Barovia, led by the mysterious Madam Eva, follows its arrival in an attempt to drive back the Harvester before it can claim more victims. To do this, the Vistani seek the aid of adventurers willing to take on this shadowy menace.

The restless slumber begins Thursday, October 1, at 7:30 am PT
Awaken from the nightmares on Thursday, October 22, at 7:30 am PT

A creature of fey origin, the Harvester dwells in the Nightmare Realm but only attacks if provoked. To draw the monster out, adventurers must enter its realm to cleanse the nightmares plaguing the dreams of sleeping Neverwintans. Doing so starves the Harvester until it has no choice but to attack the intruding adventurers. Adventurers will need a minimum 18,000 Item Level to participate in this event. The event can be completed on any character that meets the minimum requirements, but the daily quest can only be done once per account per day. 

The Harvester turns dreams into nightmares so it can feed. Because of this, the Nightmare Realm often appears as a dark reflection of a place where the dreamer feels safe. This time, the Nightmare Realm looks like locations around Protector’s Enclave.

Cleansing nightmares is done by defeating a series of arena-style encounters culminating in a fight with a nightmare version of an existing boss monster. Once defeated, adventurers return to the Enclave to receive daily rewards. If adventurers wish to cleanse more nightmares, you can do so by picking up another mission and entering the queue to assist other nightmare explorers.

Harvester of Nightmares is an Appointment Event that rewards the user with currencies that can be used to purchase valuable items.


The event store will contain three sections, each with items purchased with different tokens obtained based on participation amount: Token of Participation, Token of Challenge, and Token of Achievement.

Are you up to the task of destroying the Harvester of Nightmares?

The contents in this article are taken from a test version and could be subject to change for the final version. When this happens, we will inform you.

Strange monoliths have appeared across Faerûn, spreading madness and twisting nearby creatures into monstrous servants of a dark power. The Emerald Enclave has begun a desperate campaign to destroy these mysterious monuments, but they need every willing hero to stem the tide of corruption before it spreads. 

Madness is spreading across Faerûn. Strange Altars have appeared throughout the land, corrupting nearby creatures with madness and unleashing dangerous magical anomalies in their wake. 

One of these Madness Altars recently showed up in Menzoberranzan. The Madness Altar located there has started causing ambient decay, and the number of victims rises by the hour. This affliction cares not for whom the drow swore their allegiance. It targets indiscriminately. The drow are no strangers to madness in the City of Spiders, yet it would behoove you to act quickly. Tis a grim task, but must be done. 

The brand-new ‘Monoliths of Madness’ event brings you back to Menzoberranzan, Northdark Reaches, Narbondellyn, and Dragonbone Vale. For 12 weeks, each week, one of the zones will feature as the mainstage for a variety of new quests. To ensure that this event isn't too easy, players will be downscaled when a zone is active.  

Go to Protectors Enclave and speak with Master Arcanist Viorel Amakiir to start the Monoliths of Madness Campaign, then travel to the active zone, indicated with a modified map icon. 

Tip: if you haven't played the Campaign related to the active zone yet, you are able to progress in both that Campaign and this new content! 

• The Monoliths of Madness event is only available to players who have reached level 20. 
• To participate in the event weeks tied to Menzoberranzan, you must have access to its zone. Talk to Sergeant Knox in Protector's Enclave and complete ‘Whispers in the Dark’ and ‘A New Ally’. 
• To participate in the event weeks tied to Northdark Reaches, you must have access to its zone. Talk to Sergeant Knox in Protector's Enclave and complete ‘The Call of the King’. 
• To participate in the event weeks tied to Narbondellyn, you must have access to its zone. Talk to Sergeant Knox in Protector's Enclave and complete ‘Whispers in the Dark’ and ‘A Discreet Meeting’. 
• To participate in the event weeks tied to Dragonbone Vale, you must have access to its zone. Talk to Sergeant Knox in Protector's Enclave and complete ‘Forging the Shield’. 
• For global rewards granted by progressing through the Nightmare, at least 500 Shards of Madness are required to be eligible. 

By completing the new daily and weekly challenges, both global and individual progress will be reflected in the Monoliths of Madness Campaign. The Campaign has four phases, each lasting for three weeks, including three of the four zones. 

The Zones offer a variety of quests that can be completed to gather Shards of Madness, a currency that grants you progress within the Campaign to unlock a variety of rewards through milestones. Rewards for the milestones include Warden's Caches, Insignia Powder, Tradebars, Legendary Dragon Keys and Mount- and Companion Upgrade Tokens. 

During the ‘Can you hear him?’ phase, the new Staring Cat of Uldun-Dar Companion (Legendary) can be obtained.   

Quest objectives include: 

• Complete Heroic Encounters 
• Defeat Enemies 
• Defeat Named Encounters 
• Purify corrupted altars 
• Earn points 
• Complete Skirmishes 
• Complete a specific Dungeon or Trial 

A final objective is to defeat the roaming World Boss, Maxare’xek the Mad, who pops up every few hours. Defeating the boss grants you a temporary buff that lasts an hour, allowing you to deal extra damage within the zone. 

Besides all that, we need everyone's help to try to conquer this nightmare as a whole. Therefore, each Campaign phase has a global progress bar, the Nightmare Progression (server-wide), that fills up depending on player contribution. For each phase completed, everyone who participated will be rewarded. Get the Burning Hope Artifact, the Umbral Widow Mount, the Brimming Bountiful Bag and the Peeper Keeper.  

At the end of a phase, rewards will automatically be mailed to your inboxes. Of course, failing to work together to conquer the nightmare means nobody gets the rewards. 

Rewards within the Monoliths of Madness Campaign can be picked up by up to five characters per account, after which most rewards change to Warden's Caches. 


The Madness Altars are awake and need to be cleansed. Remember, you must defeat whatever entity is summoned as a result. There are many located across Faerûn, which means you're in for a fight.  

Prepare yourself and, if you can, bring as many acquaintances as possible. This is not something you should face alone.

The zones have been updated with two corrupted altars. One of them can be activated by collecting three Lesser Abyssal Lures, which can be dropped by every enemy within the active zone. Once activated, defeat the nightmarish creature spawning from it, which purifies the altar for a while. These creatures can sometimes drop a Greater Abyssal Lure, of which you need three again to activate the other corrupted altar.  

It's important to notice that doing the purification with multiple players is the best way to advance with the Nightmare Progression (server-wide), as the highest source of Shards of Madness can be obtained through purification. 


The existing Heroic Encounters for each zone have been impacted by the mad monoliths as well! While conquering Heroic Encounters, try not to get burned, keep moving, cleanse your disease or dodge meteorites – you will be even more heroic if you manage to complete these Heroic Encounters! 


Obtainable through the Monoliths of Madness Campaign. 

“No one lives forever. Not even you.” 

Brought forth by Wild Magic in Hazlan, the Staring Cat of Uldun-Dar are sapient, hyperdimensional cats with a penchant for delivering ominous tidings. Eerie and unnerving, these many eyed felines are surprisingly docile. 


Equip: Chance on hit to increase your and your companion's Deflect and Deflect Severity for 15 seconds. Maximum 4.5%. 


Grants Movement Speed, Mount Speed, and Combined Rating. 


Obtainable through the Monoliths of Madness Nightmare progression. 

Feared throughout the Underdark, the Umbral Widow cloaks itself in shadow before striking with terrifying precision. Many have entered its web, but few have ever emerged.


Grants Movement Speed, Awareness, and Combined Rating. 


A strong single target attack.


Obtainable through the Monoliths of Madness Campaign. 

A Warden's Cache gives you a chance to obtain Teal Diamonds, Violet Diamonds, Preservation Wards, Insignia Powder, Glyphs of Potency, Common Enchantments, or Enhanced Motes.

A rose of pale petals wrapped around an ember that never dies. Legends claim it bloomed in the aftermath of a great tragedy, drawing beauty from ruin and light from despair. Its petals remain untouched by flame, yet faint cracks of molten radiance spread across them, as though hope itself is burning from within. 

Grants Power, Critical Severity, Outgoing Healing, and Combined Rating. 


Charred petals swirl around, leaving a burning trail that, instead of damaging you, invigorates and strengthens your body. Restores stamina and grants Outgoing Healing and Power. 


Obtainable through the Monoliths of Madness Nightmare progression. 

Recovered from the Monoliths of Madness, it now keeps an eye on your loot. 


The new Monoliths of Madness event is mainly designed by Content Designer Jan Olcina and System Designer Victor Romero, who used the old Redeemed Citadel as an inspiration to make something that feels fresh again. Initially pitched as an event that revisits three existing zones and had Hunts as a stretch goal, we’re now seeing four existing zones and Corrupted Altar Hunts.  

Realistically speaking, turning old zones into something new is quite a challenge, but we feel we’ve certainly done our best. Heroic Encounters have been modified by drawing inspiration from the Reaper's Challenge, and a big world boss represents how unstable and dangerous the world is becoming.  

Other members of our team didn't sit still either. Most of the artwork tied to this event relates to UI changes and icons, for which Valeriia Vasileva and Javier Moreno did a tremendous job, after which Amy Skopik did the implementation, next to the necessary design work. Margherita Lucchi designed and implemented the Madness Altars. 


The new Monoliths of Madness events might require some more explanation and strategy, which is why we now have a dedicated Youtube Playlist featuring the following creators: Aragon, Aslan Neverwinter, Erkalynn and NIKIrta. 

The corrupting influence of the monoliths has spread through our Battle Pass as well! Get the Laughing Void Artifact, Voidbound Necklace, Voidbound Belt, Pika the Tressym, and loads of other crazy rewards! 

>> Read more about the Battle Pass[www.playneverwinter.com].

Inventories are cluttered, and we want to introduce a first approach to help you out here. For the following items, the stack size has been increased from 99 to 999:

• Epic Collar Choice Pack 
• Genie's Gift 
• Potion of Healing Rank 10 
• Potion of Healing Rank 10, +1 
• Most Coalescent Motes 
• Most Overloads 
• Most Preservation Wards 
• Most Stronghold Vouchers 
• Black Pearls 

By default, your stacks aren't merged. Drag one stack to the other stack or click the sword button to merge them (note that bind statuses still apply and do not stack).

A while ago, we released additional Combat Enchantments. With the release of Monoliths of Madness, you are now able to equip two of them, similar to Neverwinter's original Weapon and Armor Enchantment system. 

On your Enhancements tab, the Utility slot has been moved to the old Combat slot, making room for two Combat slots – one for ‘Strike’ and one for ‘Guard’. 

Since Combat Enchantments do not provide Combined Rating, but still increase the Item Level, normally, equipping two Combat Enchantments would diminish your existing statistics. To avoid this, the Item Level on Combat Enchantments has been reduced by half to grant the same total Item Level as before. 

Currently equipped Enchantments should have been automatically equipped to one of the two slots. 

We have added the Coffer of Celestial Insignias to the Celestial Synergy tab of the Vault of Piety. A small, but richly adorned, coffer from unknown celestial origins that contains Insignia Powder and an Insignia. 

Once per account per week, this new coffer can be picked up for 11 Celestial Coins. It has a guaranteed 50 Insignia Powder, and it either drops a Rare or an Epic Insignia, designed to provide a stable, passive stream of Insignia Powder to support your ongoing progression.  

Those Monoliths of Madness sure have created some wild adventures, which is exactly why the Wild Adventures Lockbox is here! B-b-b-bard is the word with our latest Companion, Encore the Virtuoso, while you hopefully won't get hooked too much on the Star Angler Mount.

Please note that any date stated in this article could change at any moment. 

We genuinely hope you have fun with our new Monoliths of Madness event, and we hope you liked our article. Our next Module, M34, is already hard on its way and we can't wait to present our upcoming Neverwinter Next stream to you to tell you all about it. Enjoy the update and look forward to more!

Gather under the sun to celebrate Sune, the goddess of beauty, with events and rewards to satisfy your water balloon, flower-gathering, and chicken-chasing needs.

The Summer Festival returns to Neverwinter! Gather under the sun to celebrate Sune, the goddess of beauty, with events and rewards to satisfy your water balloon, flower-gathering, and chicken-chasing needs. It's never winter during the Summer Festival!

The Summer Festival begins on Thursday, August 13 at 7:30 am PT
The Summer Festival ends on Thursday, September 3 at 7:30 am PT


What are the Summer Festival activities you can participate in? Well, there are multiple. The event platform in Protector’s Enclave is where you can pick up a mission that will take you to the festivities. Let’s go through the several activities you can do here:

Sahha Ball - From Amn, the popular team-based sport, Sahha, has come to the Sword Coast! Once inside the arena, your powers will be swapped out with ‘Sahha-based powers’. 

Summer Feast Contest - Adventurers can herd animals back to their homes or pick corn from the large fields behind the farmstead. Watch out for the Golden Chicken, for it could be your ticket to victory!

Troll Fight Contest - Tired of farm duties? Trolls occasionally raid the South West portion of the Festival Area. When they arrive, players of all levels can take them on, slaying them to receive contest points.

Water Battle Contest - When the trolls aren’t attempting to ruin the festivities, the same area is home to the Water Battle arena! Summer wouldn’t be complete without your fellow Adventurers drenching each other in water. The more you splash other players, the more points you’ll receive!
Collecting Flowers - Find Fireblossom Flowers from bushes on the Festival Grounds or reclaim them from mischievous Kobolds you defeat. Trade them in at the Florist for rewards.

Summer Provisioning - During the festival, a special profession will be made available. Players can recruit a Sunite Acolyte and use reagents only available from participating in the Festival to craft various food and clothing items. 

Fashion, Mounts, Companions, and more can be obtained throughout this event at the Petal Store, Tribute Store, and Sahha Ticket Exchange. Let’s first have a look at the latest additions to what we have to offer!


To improve the Sahha Match experience, Sahha Ball is now a 3 versus 3 game instead of 5 versus 5, and rewards are increased for the winning team, the losing team, and in the case of ties. Copper tickets for additional Sahha Ball abilities are no longer required. If you already have the abilities, nothing will change for you. Otherwise, doing the initial Sahha quest will unlock the abilities immediately. 


Obtainable through the Blessing of Sune store. ​

A forest guardian touched by Silvanus, this great bear bears a crown of ever-blooming flowers. Found near the High Forest, it is revered as a living symbol of nature's balance and strength. 


A strong single target attack with a Magnitude of 618. 


Gives 464 Power and Critical Severity, as well as 556 Combined Rating 


Obtainable through the Petal store. ​

Suddenly vines and flowers slowly start enveloping the body, a process orchestrated by Fey tricket, leading to varying effects between creatures of all races; some receive the ability to communicate with the flora around them, and others are reshaped by the vines, becoming one with them.

 
The Silver Ticket Store for Insignias, found at the Sahha Ticket Exchange, now uses Insignia Choice Packs, with a limitation per rarity. You can obtain 10 Legendary Choice Packs, 20 Epic Choice Packs, 20 Rare Choice Packs, and 25 Uncommon Choice Packs per account. 

Piñatas are available for 50 Fireblossom Petals through the Petal Store in the Consumables section. Players can use it to summon a critter that drops rewards when defeated. Rewards include Buff Food, Enchantments, and more. Insignias have been redistributed over the various random loot tables. 

Sahha Ticket-Balls, used for rewards, have been changed in a way where you no longer need to pass it around thirty time anymore. Instead, it instantly grants rewards upon using the Sahha Ball. Drop rates of the items remain the same, except there is a decrease in fireworks drops to improve overall performance of the Summer Festival.


During the Summer Festival it's possible to obtain Chauntea's Bounty, which you can open without using any key! Blessed by the Great Mother herself, the Chauntea's Bounty overflows with treasures. Those fortunate enough to open it may discover rare Companions, Mounts, and community-requested legacy Fashion and legacy gear. Except for selected Mounts and Companions, fashion- and gear obtainables are Bound on Equip. 

You get one Chauntey's Bounty per account each day (Bound to Account) during the Summer Festival, by completing the repeatable ‘Your very own Sahha Ball’ quest. Level 20 is required here. Additionally, you can obtain them through the Zen Store (unbound). 

Mythic rewards include the Hag's Enchanted Cauldron, Glorious Undead Lion, Neo Eclipse Lion, Golden Bulette Pup, Drizzt Do’Urden, Myconid, and Tutor. It also includes brand-new Blossom Illusions, see the video below! 

Opening Chauntey's Bounty will always grant 10 to 18 Tradebars on top of one of the obtainables, and the more Chauntey's Bounty you open, the more additional rewards you will get through milestones. 


The Trade Bar Store features the Beholder Rune Board Mount for the duration of the Summer Festival. Additionally, the Slab of Vecna Mount can be found in the Wondrous Bazaar. 


The Petal Store, Tribute Store, and Sahha Ticket Exchange offer a range of great rewards.  

While playing the Summer Festival’s missions, you will be granted Fireblossom Petal and Favor of Sune. Fireblossom Petal can be redeemed at the Petal Store for mainly Mounts, while the Favor is used to get goods from the Tribute Store for mainly Companions and Fashion. Both stores are at the center of the map. 

Celebrate the summer in Neverwinter – true to its name – by heading over to the Summer Festival grounds!

We need your help, Adventurers! 

Module 33.5: Monoliths of Madness is approaching soon, and we would like to introduce you to its brand-new features! We would love for you to check out the new content in advance and provide us with feedback early on!  

Start date: Wednesday, August 5, 2026, after maintenance
End date for taking feedback: Tuesday, August 18, 2026, at 7:30 AM PT[/b]


The Preview will be available on Mimic Shard and Lurker Shard. We are only conducting this test on PC.   

Module 33.5 aims to be released early-September, and we are very excited to present this content to you in advance.  


As soon as the content opens up, we will drop an announcement in the #announcements channel of our Discord server[discord.gg], containing links to where we invite you to provide us with feedback.

Please try to be as constructive as possible. We would love for you to focus on the following aspects:

• Monoliths of Madness: Revisit old zones for new missions! 
• Item Stack increases: Some stacks have been upgraded from 99 to 999!
• Offense and Defense Combat Enchantments: Equip an extra Combat Enchantment!
• Upcoming rewards and items: Gear, Mounts, Companions and Artifacts!

Please also keep in mind that the part of the content on the Preview server, such as currency dropped from normal enemies, hunt bosses or world bosses, and content related to the new event, is not final and currently under balancing review.


Check out more info on our upcoming content by checking back our Neverwinter Next stream!


Neverwinter's latest event brings us back to Menzoberranzan, Northdark Reaches, Narbondellyn, and Dragonbane Vale. Each week, one of the zones will feature as the mainstage for a variety of new quests. Players will be downscaled when a zone is active, so that the new content isn't ridiculously easy.  

Tip: if you haven't played the Campaign related to the active zone yet, you are able to progress in both that Campaign and this new content! 

Go to Protectors Enclave and speak with Master Arcanist Viorel Amakiir to start the Monoliths of Madness Campaign. 


By completing the new daily and weekly challenges, both global and individual progress will be reflected in the Monoliths of Madness Campaign. 

Quest objectives include: 

• Complete Heroic Encounters 
• Defeat Enemies 
• Defeat Named Encounters 
• Purify corrupted altars 
• Earn points 
• Complete Skirmishes
• Complete a specific Dungeon or Trial

The zones have been updated a bit to include corrupted altars that summon strong enemies. All critters around the zone have a small possibility to drop a Nightmare Fragment (tentative). Get 3 Nightmare Fragments, go to one of the smaller monoliths and spawn a Nightmarish creature. Defeat it to purify an altar and get rewards plus a bigger Nightmare Fragment. Three of those can be used at a monolith for an even stronger enemy that drops better rewards.  

Critters will also drop Shards of Madness, which can be used to obtain Warden's Marks to spend at the event store! 


The existing Heroic Encounters for each zone have been impacted by the mad monoliths as well! While conquering Heroic Encounters, try not to get burned, keep moving, cleanse your disease or dodge meteorites – you will be even more heroic if you manage to complete these Heroic Encounters! 


On top of all of that, an ultimate Nightmare spawns every few hours, so gather together to defeat it for more currency, more global progress and a temporary buff that lasts an hour, allowing you to deal extra damage within the zone. 


Inventories are cluttered, and we want to introduce a first approach to help you out here. For the following items, the stack size has been increased from 99 to 999: 

• Epic Collar Choice Pack 
• Genie's Gift 
• Potion of Healing Rank 10 
• Most Coalescent Motes 
• Most Overloads 
• Most Preservation Wards 
• Most Stronghold Vouchers 
• Black Pearls

By default, your stacks aren't merged. Drag one stack to the other stack or click the sword button to merge them (note that bind statuses still apply and do not stack). 


A while ago, we released additional Combat Enchantments. Starting with this Module, you are now able to equip two of them.  

On your Enhancements tab, the Utility slot has been moved to the old Combat slot, making room for two Combat slots – one for Offense and one for Defense. 

Currently equipped Enchantments have been automatically equipped to one of the two slots.

Greetings, Adventurers!

The Buried Treasure Lockbox is here! Among its treasures is Ollie the Octie, a creature of the deep, as well as new Combat Enchantments that come with unique special effects. Let's take a look!

End date: September 1, 2026


Ollie the Octie is a colossal creature of the deep who carries riders clinging to his massive head, surging forward with surprising grace for something so squishy.

• Use: Ollie the Octie appears in a surge of foam and fury, unleashing three expanding tidal waves with a Magnitude of 350 that rush outward from him, each larger than the last.

We are introducing some new Enchantments for you to try out and upgrade, bundled in a Combat Enchantments Choice Pack. These gems give a unique special effect that is insanely powerful, and you can upgrade all the way to Celestial to improve their statistics.
Please note that you can only equip one of these at a time.


An enchantment that allows you to hit your enemies harder from different angles and protects you in close combat.

Equip: Base Damage Boost +11%, Power +5%. When in melee combat with at least 1 enemy, your Defense is increased by 6%. Whenever you deal Combat Advantage damage with your powers, you have a 25% chance to gain 0.8% Combat Advantage for 5 seconds. Maximum Stacks: 10.

An enchantment that empowers those you aid, granting them more power while giving you the resources you need.

An enchantment that hardens your body and expels force as you are hit by your enemies.

Equip: Incoming Damage Reduction +11%, Maximum HP +14%. Once per second, when receiving damage, you get a 3.3% increase to Defense, Awareness and Deflect for 3 seconds. This effect can stack max 5 times, and its duration is refreshed with each new stack. While at maximum stacks, it also triggers a shockwave to close enemies for 350 Magnitude Damage every 30 seconds.

Which treasures will you be able to dig up?

It’s that time of the year again when adventurers gather in Protector’s Enclave to set off fireworks in honor of the Goddess of Joy. We’re happy to announce that the Celebration of Lliira will be returning to Neverwinter! Get ready to light up the night sky with our variety of fireworks, which are sure to make a bang.

Players will honor Lliira, the goddess of joy, freedom and liberty, by completing daily quests and setting off fireworks. Players will be rewarded with Tokens of Lliira’s Favor, which can be exchanged for many items in the event store.

The fireworks will start on Friday, July 3 at 7:30am PT
The fireworks will end on Friday, July 10 at 7:30am PT


The “Lliira’s Celebration” daily quest will be available and will award 30 of Lliira’s Favor. Players will be asked to collect crates of Professional Fireworks around Protector’s Enclave, which can be turned in at any time of the day, except during the fireworks show that occurs every 30 minutes. Players will get immediate favor from turning in the fireworks.

How to collect Professional Fireworks? Players can collect Professional fireworks by defeating creatures within 10 levels while the event is live. There can be an unlimited number of fireworks collected, provided you have the inventory space for it.

The maximum amount of Lliira’s Favor obtained from turning in fireworks every day is capped at 40 Liira’s Favor. Upon playing the daily quest again, the amount will be reset.

Turn in your Lliira's Favor for many rewards! Rewards from previous years can be found within the Llira's Night event store.

Obtainable from Lliira's Night.

The denizens of Neverwinter are celebrating 13 years of not being razed to the ground by rampaging orcs, torched by marauding dragons, or devoured by hungry demons! It’s time for the Protector’s Jubilee!

The Protector’s Jubilee will begin on Friday, June 19 at 7:30 am PT
The Protector’s Jubilee will end on Friday, June 26 at 7:30 am PT

The Protector’s Jubilee is Neverwinter’s big anniversary event, when the city is decked in bunting and confetti floats on the breeze. At the same time, performers juggle and breathe fire on the city streets. The doors to the richly decorated Protector's Garden will open to all visitors during the event, but after the festivities, only those who have redeemed a Garden Key may enter.


During the anniversary, adventurers can partake in various events:

Daily Tasks – Elminster requests your help in getting Protector’s Enclave ready for the Anniversary celebrations! Each day of the event, Elminster will have a new quest, from placing decorations to rousing the celebratory spirit among the locals. Miss a day? Don’t worry, Elminster will have work for you – the quests can be picked up at any time during the event, but will be gone once the anniversary is over.

Elminster’s Messages – As part of Elminster Aumar’s visit to Protector’s Enclave, he is seeking the help of adventurers to deliver grim tidings to the Harper agents scattered across the Sword Coast. Players will travel to various zones to accomplish missions, speaking to Harpers in the field. Players will have a chance to receive two random quests based on their level. Completing the quest will grant you Protector’s Figurines that can be used to redeem Jubilee items in the event store.

Protector’s Speech Skirmish – Lord Neverember has taken this time of celebration to address the people of the city. Still, unsavory elements want to do anything they can to disrupt the speech. It is up to you to help prevent these creatures from disrupting this joyous occasion.

The Protector’s Speech is a scaling skirmish event that takes place in Protector’s Enclave. Each run, three randomized encounters will attack different parts of the city, and adventurers will have to defend the city and defeat the creatures. Defeat the hordes and you will be rewarded with many items, including Neverwinter Renown. Players will be scaled to 40k item level for this event.

Escort missions – With Lord Neverember seeking new business opportunities, traders and merchants from across the Sword Coast are making their way to Neverwinter! Affordable goods and a boost to the coffers are vital, so players must ensure that merchants reach Neverwinter unmolested. Protect the Foreign Merchant in Ebon Downs and the Whispering Caverns and earn Protector’s Bounty!

Guilds will also find traveling merchants coming to their Stronghold, who must be escorted safely through the surrounding lands. Guilds will have access to a series of temporary traders that can visit the Stronghold for 24 hours, providing valuable guild currencies for small contributions of wood, stone, metal, and food. There’s never been a better time to join a guild and help them grow!

Updates for 2026:

• The Foreign Merchant's respawn time in the Whispering Caverns has been slightly increased. 
• The maximum obtainable Protector's Bounty for the Foreign Merchant in the Whispering Caverns is now 5. 
• There is no longer a difference between opening Protector's Bounty while being part of a Guild or not; the ‘guild-only rewards’ have been removed. We are looking into bringing these rewards back later, possibly during different events. 

Taking part in the event earns players the Protector’s Bounty — packs of items including Protector’s Figurines, Renown, and more. Players can also share gifts with one another by raising a toast to Neverember’s generosity in the form of the Protector’s Hospitality. The more of each item players use, the better the rewards become. Players can earn temporary discounts in other stores, novelty items, and much more, all free while the event is running. Protector’s Figurines and Renown can be used to purchase a variety of rewards!

And you can get even more! Advance during the Jubilant times and make sure to claim your rewards now or for a limited time after the festivities!

Yet, should folly or aggression provoke its wrath, the Ebon Herald calls forth the very essence of decay, and its foes shall wither like autumn leaves before the first frost.

Obtainable through the Renown Fashion section of the Jubilee Store. 

A raven’s skull mask etched with ancient runes crowns this attire, its veil denying mortal sight as the wearer sees through the unseen eyes of ravens circling the world. Draped in dark layers of weathered leather, adorned with carved tokens and black feathers, it marks its bearer as a silent watcher burdened with knowledge of death, fate, and winter. Simple in form yet heavy with purpose, each step echoes along forgotten paths, guided by an unseen will across the long road between shadow and destiny.
