Zombie Attack Event

From Auranogi

Event Period: October 2nd, 2023 - November 1, 2023

Description[edit]

The provisional camp.


Something is stirring in the sands of the Muyu Desert. A provisional camp has been set up to investigate the disturbance, but no one has heard from the explorers for days. Alexina at Qilla Base Camp will provide you with more information about the whereabouts and further information regarding the provisional camp.

As you make your way to the camp, you will come to find that it has been abandoned, with a mysterious Fomor flag raised defiantly in the center. Once Palala sets, you will soon hear the unnerving moans of the ravenous undead. The provisional camp is under attack! Defend the camp at all costs!

It may seem fairly simple at first; zombies are easy prey when alone. However, the common virtue among zombies is the ability to endure and eventually overtake their soon-to-be meals. Some zombies are only vulnerable to physical attacks; others only to magic. As the night continues, more and more zombies will appear, determined to foul the Fomor flag in the center of the camp.

If you survive and can defend the provisional camp into the morning, you will be rewarded with 100 extra points added to your score. Quickly make your way to Alexina for a reward; she will trade you one reward chest for every 90 points you have. When Eweca rises, your points will reset to 0, and the zombies will resume their attack on the provisional camp.

Can you survive?

Basic Information[edit]

The zombie attack begins every in-game night at 6:00 PM and ends at 6:00 AM. The bulk of the zombie attack begins at midnight. If the camp is destroyed, participants will lose all of their points, and the camp will be rebuilt at 10:00 AM.

The camp is closest to the Kaypi Canyon Mana Tunnel.

Objectives
Rewards
  • 1000 Experience Points
Additional Information
  • Objective 1:
    • Alexina
      "One of the members from the temporary camp in Muyu Desert has been found, who claims that the camp is under attack every night when the Eweca rises. We have lost all contact with the camp after a Fomor Flag was discovered and I think the Zombies are attacking because they don't approve of our ownership of the Fomor Flag."
      "Could you follow the map and go to the temporary camp to protect the Flag? If you collect 90 points while protecting the Flag, I'll reward you with a Reward Chest in exchange. But remember that your score will reset every night, so you must exchange your points before the Eweca rises."
  • Objective 2:
    • Completed when the player defeats one of the attacking zombies.
  • Objective 3:
    • Alexina
      "I guess the Zombies don't want us to investigate the Fomor Flag at the temporary camp. Thank you for your help. I'll trade you a Reward Chest every time you collect 90 points from protecting the camp."

Advice[edit]

Zombies[edit]

  • All zombies will explode upon reaching the flag.
  • Use melee attacks for male zombies, and magic or ranged attacks for female zombies.
    • Using the wrong type of attack will result in only 1 damage.
    • Attacks will not knock back these zombies.
    • Alchemy skills such as Water Cannon and Flame Burst are treated as magic.
  • Volatile Zombies have Self-Destruct. Try to push or lure them away from the gate to prevent them from exploding on the players protecting the entrance.
  • Kid Zombies are the fastest zombies in this event, and thus are one of the bigger priorities to defeat before they reach the flag and explode.
    • They are weak to melee attacks, but magic or ranged attacks will draw their aggro.
  • The King Zombie (or "Boss Zombie") spawns at midnight near one of the three gates and has a 100% drop rate of the Jiang Shi Hat. It will go to the person who inflicts the most damage.

Defending the Camp[edit]

  • You must get at least one point and be near the provisional camp in order to receive the 100 points for surviving until 6am.
    • Currently, a participant's points will be lost if the player logs out, disconnects, or "changes channels" via mods.
      • Thunderbro intends to change this, but the change may not go live until next year.
  • If the zombies pass through one of the gates, a message will be announced: "The [south, north, northeast] gate has been cleared!" If this happens before 12am, then Volatile and Kid Zombies will begin to spawn prematurely on the infiltrated side.
  • Once midnight hits, the zombies will begin to spawn more frequently and in larger groups, and Volatile Zombies, Kid Zombies, and Innocent Zombies will be thrown into the mix. It is recommended to use AoE skills to clear them out.
