    Event Entrances

    Mayhem Annihilation instances are accessed via the Global Events List from any planet in Entropia Universe. Browse the event list for the entrance appropriate for your avatar’s profession level.

    FFA Mayhem instances are accessed via the Santa's Little Helper NPCs in Fort Ithaca, Fort Zeus and Nymphtown on Planet Calypso. The Santa’s Little Helper NPC:s provide access to five different FFA Mayhem instances containing creatures of various levels.


    Mayhem Annihilation Gameplay

    There are ten Mayhem Annihilation instances available. Participants of all skill levels or gear can enter any of the instances; the only difference is the difficulty of the creatures within the instances. There are no time or gear restrictions or requirements for Mayhem Annihilation, and it is possible to switch between any of the available Annihilation instances at any time, regardless of which mission a participant has chosen.

    Upon entering one of the Annihilation event instances, participants will be presented with a choice of four missions: Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Redulite which determine the number of points required to unlock rewards. Each mission chain features ten reward thresholds. Participants may only choose one mission, which cannot be restarted or repeated. Be careful not to abandon the mission once started!

    Interact with the Julklapp inside the Mayhem Annihilation event instance to begin spawning creatures.

    Eliminate Merry Creatures to accumulate points and unlock reward tiers. A random number of points (0, 1, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 250, 500, 1000, 2500) is automatically awarded after defeating one of the event instance creatures. Higher level creatures have a higher chance of awarding more points, regardless of which mission is chosen.


    Mayhem Annihilation Rewards

    Rewards in Mayhem are based on performance in the event instances, and are unlocked and awarded automatically when certain criteria are met.

    Rewards include exclusive clothing, consumables, Christmas-themed items, and Mayhem Tokens, which can also be looted from event creatures in this and other Mayhem-style events. Mayhem Tokens and Rare Mayhem Tokens can be exchanged for exclusive items offered by the Mayhem Token Traders located in Cape Corinth, Port Atlantis, and Twin Peaks on Planet Calypso.

    Mayhem Tokens and Rare Mayhem Tokens can be accumulated over the course of several events to purchase more expensive items, allowing participants to make incremental progress toward their desired rewards. Mayhem Tokens and Rare Mayhem Tokens are non-tradable, but the items available in the Mayhem Token Vendor are tradable.

    FFA Mayhem Gameplay

    The Free-for-All Mayhem division allows hunters (either solo or in teams) to compete for prizes in an unrestricted, no-holds-barred single-category format.

    FFA Mayhem instances are accessed via the Santa's Little Helper NPCs in Fort Ithaca, Fort Zeus and Nymphtown on Planet Calypso.

    Loot in the FFA Mayhem instances may contain FFA Mayhem Stars of different values. Your FFA Mayhem score is based on the combined value of the FFA Mayhem Stars you hand in to the Santa’s Little Helper NPC’s.

    The FFA Mayhem Star tokens are tradable, allowing participants to sell their FFA Mayhem Star tokens to the highest bidder instead of handing them in to the NPC’s.

    FFA participants that want to take part in the FFA competition need to hand in their FFA stars to a Santa’s Little Helper NPC before January 21, 14:00 UTC. This will activate the FFA mission and add a Mission in your Mission Log UI.

    There are no time requirements or skill/item restrictions in the FFA Mayhem division.


    FFA Mayhem Prizes

    1st Place - 2 Rare Mayhem Tokens + 80000 Mayhem Tokens

    2nd Place - 1 Rare Mayhem Tokens + 40000 Mayhem Tokens

    3rd Place - 1 Rare Mayhem Tokens + 20000 Mayhem Tokens

    4th Place - 1 Rare Mayhem Tokens + 10000 Mayhem Tokens

    5th Place - 1 Rare Mayhem Tokens + 5000 Mayhem Tokens

    6th Place - 8000 Mayhem Tokens

    7th Place - 6000 Mayhem Tokens

    8th Place - 4000 Mayhem Tokens

    9th Place - 2000 Mayhem Tokens

    10th Place - 1000 Mayhem Tokens


    Event Prizes
    Mayhem Tokens can be exchanged for exclusive items via the Mayhem Token Trader, located in Cape Corinth, Port Atlantis and Twin Peaks on Planet Calypso.

    Mayhem Tokens can be accumulated over the course of several events to purchase more expensive items, allowing participants to make incremental progress toward their desired rewards.

    Mayhem Tokens are non-tradeable, but the items available for purchase in the Mayhem Token Vendor are tradable. Note that certain Mayhem Token Vendor items may also require special Placement Mayhem Tokens, awarded as event prizes, in order to be purchased.


    Rules & Notes

    This event is intended for solo hunters. Any attempt at abusing team mechanics or any other Entropia Universe systems or features in order to gain an unfair advantage over other participants will be grounds for disqualification from the event, forfeiture of any prizes, and possible sanctions imposed on one’s Entropia Universe account.

    FFA participants that want to take part in the FFA competition should hand in their FFA stars to a Santa’s Little Helper NPC. This will activate the FFA mission and add a Mission in your Mission Log. Once added, do not abandon the FFA Merry Mayhem mission. If you abandon the mission for any reason, intentionally or accidentally, all points earned up to that point will be lost forever and will not be included in your final event score. Support cannot and will not restore points for abandoned missions, regardless of the situation.

    Happy Holidays and Merry Mayhem!


    Special Mission: Jul Snarg Hunt

    Merry Snargs are on the rampage, and it’s up to you to keep them under control!

    The Merry Snarg spawn will run during the time of the Merry Mayhem competition event, see dates above.

    Activate the “Jul Snarg Hunt” mission by talking to the NPC Santa’s Little Helper by Port Atlantis East Gate [61614, 75294].

    Note that an Avatar can only run the Jul Snarg Hunt mission once. If your Avatar completed the mission a previous year the NPC will not hand out the mission again.

    Merry Snargs can be found at these approximate locations:

    • Cape Corinth: [62243, 88026]
    • Chug's Hideout: [68483, 75102]
    • Fort Zeus: [87016, 94588]
    • Port Atlantis: [60657, 75774], [60525, 75267] and [60969, 75441]

    Completing the mission will award an Isis LLC 2 Merry Edition (L) Laser Rifle with Increased Laser Skill Gain.

    Hunting Merry Snargs will also count towards or unlock the Snarg challenge in the Codex with valuable skill rewards. The Codex Snarg challenge is not dependent on having the Jul Snarg Hunt mission active.

    First mayhem for me in a while. Seems like there's no timed-based "Assault" category anymore, neither there is "Defense" or "Survival", reducing the event to the silly grindfest that constitutes 99% of EU and which mayhem events once were a diversion from. What's the point then?

    So I guess I will skip this part of EU gameplay too, leaving nothing much left me. Where's the actual game?

    Same feeling here. It's just doing the same boring routine somewhere else.
    The only thrilling part was the competition and it's guidelines, fun is so boring when it comes to cycle peds fast...
