Event Mechanics

Here are the key points to know to get the most out of the Event.

Lunar Quest Start

When you first log in, you go to Ying-Yue located in Ked Bardu, the capital of the Dry Steppes. This gets you started with the Lunar Awakening Event.

Lunar Shrines

From here, you need to look out for Lunar Shrines and Lunar Shrine Whispers. While underneath the effect of a Lunar Shrine you gain:

  • +50% XP per Monster Kill (Multiplicative)
  • +30% Movement Speed
  • +Event Reputation per Monster Kill
  • + Power Bonus (Base on Shrine)

You can find Lunar Shrines wherever you would normally find a normal Shrine. So the Overworld, Whispers, Dungeons and Nightmare Dungeons too!

Here is a list of all the Lunar Shrine effects.

Gathering Ancestral Favor

If you want to gather your Ancestral Favor quickly, most likely Lunar Shrine Whispers are going to be your best bet!

Find a Lunar Shrine Whisper and travel to it. Click the Shrine and kill as many enemies as possible. It may be a good idea to gather a large pack of enemies and move them to the Shrine right before to aid in getting more Favor and XP!

Also, Miserly Spirits spawn along with 3 Elites that count as the Mastery for the Whisper to further aid in your Favor gathering.

Nightmare Dungeon New Affix

During the Lunar Awakening Event, Nightmare Dungeon Sigils (and Vault Sigils) can roll with the Ancestor's Favor Affix. This Affix guarantees Extra Lunar Shrines as well as +10% Glyph XP. On top of this, ANY Sigil that has this Affix on it can be carried over after the Event ends, so you can stock up on them!
