Great guides.

I would suggest adding a link to the Returning Players Guide that discusses how to install the game and how to transfer from the archived servers to Ywain. Some of the info on the guide is a bit dated but it can still be of help to returning players

Okay I have a ton of stuff to get through for this Midwinter Festival, so here is the first guide I have popped out.

Midwinter Tree of Albion



Midwinter Tree of Albion is a repeatable level 35 quest only for the realm of Albion. Obtained from a NPC named Clara that is only available during the Midwinter Festival. It involves going into the frontiers close to the border keep and collecting a Midwinter Tree. You are rewarded with a choice of trees to put in or outside your personal or guild house.

Saving Midwinter



This is for the Mindwinter Medal of Honor.

My delivery of toys and goodies has been stolen, and is now in the possession of various mighty beasts in dangerous regions of the realm! I’ve sent the Krampus out after them, but he’s not exactly… good at bringing joy and cheer. I fear that Midwinter shall be very disappointing for a lot of people if we do not reclaim them.

Artifacts List



To compliment my existing guide to activating artifacts I have created an artifacts list, which tells you:
- The artifact slot
- some of the main abilities
- the total cost of credit and book,
- the book name (experienced frustration here first hand),
- and the activation npc (also another frustration).

1.114 Review



I have taken the patch notes, illustrated and commented on them and tried to list the stats for the accessories. There are too many pieces of armor and weapons to list them really without cracking out my item tool.

St. Patrick's Day



Tim posted a notice on the herald announcing the St. Patrick's Day event. There is no indication about when this event will stop but considering St. Patricks day isn't until Sunday, March 17 all indications are that this is a 1 week to 2 week long event.


See the article for the news announcement followed by screenshots from my run-through of the quest.

Unfortunately, this link no longer works, and Chrome gives a happy malware warning when attempting to visit camelotvault.ign.com, so I wonder if the site was hacked and subsequently nuked by IGN.
