The event was working. The issue was people were not treating it as a heroic. You need to stay close to the merchant and only engage enemies inside of the yellow area. Pulling enemies into the area or clearing ahead was causing issues. When people followed the mechanics properly I always got the reward. I claimed the mount x2 and companion x2 plus the appearance items x2 with no issues today. The fails were runs with ranged staying on the edge or ahead of the yellow zone and killing the enemies before they could enter.
Encounter is not working properly, it may not reward you, if there are too many people. May it be insufficient participation (good luck all paladins, hit something) or other bug, Not surprised that it's not working properly.
The oversight for me was not doing the opening of a box x day on each toon, that would have give me 7 figurines at least by the end of the event on every character, allowing me to purchase some transmutes for my mains. Or you could exchange hospitality, if you have patience
I found it easier to do the repeatable quests of "collect pages/talk to someone" they guaranteed 6 protectors bounty per 2 quests which us better than getting 0 for the HE
I think from what I understood that you get more as long as you keep opening boxes. After 100 boxes, you start getting 110. I'm not sure on the number of boxes, but I'm sure that the more boxes you open, the more rewards you get
@@accordingtoyamsz1542 well considering it is working properly after the emergency patch, it wasnt about damage as I'm on my alt that is only mid level and getting plenty of rewards.
I just started playing the other day, should i start farming or ignore this event for now? I believe am level 11 as of right now. If i were to do eacort mission, would i be able to complete it?
You should be fine doing it in Ebon Downs as that area is for progression once you reach level 8. I'm not sure you could access Whispering Caverns to try it there if you're level 11, but Ebon Downs is fine. I would HIGHLY recommend doing this event. It's not often that you get a chance at a free legendary mount (with very good insignia bonuses) and a free legendary account-wide reclaimable companion.
You only need to buy one if you want to be able to get new characters into the garden after the event ends. I had been sitting on one for literal years that I was finally able to use with my Bard after that class was introduced. Just make sure to log out in the garden at the end of the event and your characters will never lose access. It's a great place to log if you don't have VIP.
@@gustavo_lopes Aragon shows you at 12:50... or rather he would if he hadn't cut out a second of travel. The garden is located between the bank and the Auction House and the door is near the Sharandar contact across from the alley way that leads to Bradda's shop.
Waste of currency, there's nothing important in that so-called garden. A mail guy auction guy something else but all those NPC are already in the enclave, so it's dumb lol
I was expecting a lot more from this even considering the 10 year’s anniversary.
Disappointing
I wish the hand mount was account bound lol
Agreed!
it seems that the merchant is bugged on pc as they don't drop any gifts along the way and also doesn't give any rewards after completing it as well
did this he multiple times, nothing, nada

unless you were a tank/heal main and could not output enough damage before the other 10 ppl basically one shot the enemies :/
@@Aragon- True enough.
@@Aragon- drider has the same issue if I try to tank/heal it.
I have to swap to dps to get reward.
Even if the mount powers aren't that great, it's still a "free" 4 slot mount.
indeed :D
They don't drop gifts along the way anymore on xbox

You can move with the throne buy moving on ice and calling it I use it in winterfest to run the race

yeah, been getting this too on the live server :/
Didn't they say they would nerf the Cyclops Wardrummer with the release of this event?
been nerf already
It's still a decent comp, but nowhere near as good
Is the heroics bugged, 3 times in a row I have escorted the Merchant and not once have I received a reward
On console, the bounty box still gives just a few Renownes, but not 110. Was that on Preview server when you opened those in your video, Aragon?

Thanks!
I'm a high damage dps and not getting any of the rewards for the hes even when I do the whole thing and do a ton of damage.
my first HE of the day gave me some renown, but doing it again gave me nothing at all
Gotta do more damage
@@accordingtoyamsz1542 well considering it is working properly after the emergency patch, it wasnt about damage as I'm on my alt that is only mid level and getting plenty of rewards.
Oh
I don't know if I would trust that the needed extra figurines will actually drop if the merchant isn't dropping stuff.
merch event is bugged not showing the reward for completing the HE
Can you farm the event companion(Elminster) on multiple toons?
The Elminster Simulacrum is bound to account and an account-wide claim, so not much point in doing so. Thoughts?
I just started playing the other day, should i start farming or ignore this event for now? I believe am level 11 as of right now. If i were to do eacort mission, would i be able to complete it?
Don't ignore

Thank you for your information video
Elminister simulacrum is good only for his power or as summoned companion too?
I just tested him, and he is pretty bad, ok as summoned by the player bonus is pretty bad
I haven't gotten the companion is there something I'm missing
Can we Farm Elminster on multible Toon...? Or is he account wide...?
don't know yet
Can you explain what's the use of the protector's garden key? That you can buy for 15 currencies
You only need to buy one if you want to be able to get new characters into the garden after the event ends.

3000reknown so they ecpect ppl to farm those qiluest out ?
So if I want the companion for my alts, I have to do skirmish with all the characters?
It's an account-wide claim. Once you've equipped it, any character on that account can claim it.
@@danchan7564 👍
And can u buy the event out ? And get comp and mount ?
Work won't let me play much these days :(
Trash event now. Mob's too low level for the heroic structure. Therefore it does not pop consistently
yeah
Very underwelming event imo
hes happy 😅😅😅😅😅😅 happiness start at 8:00
oh yes :D
Happy to see that bonus returning, it was really good back in the day
@@Aragon- good I luv u man u were truly happy 🤣🤣
😂
Memes XD
