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.
Rewards
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.
