Official Announcement[edit]
It’s time once again for Planet Calypso’s annual winter hunting extravaganza - Merry Mayhem! This year’s event features an expanded prize pool with new prizes - including valuable Calypso Land Deeds - new creatures, and updated rules. Running for 23 days over the Christmas holiday, Merry Mayhem is among the most exciting and popular events in all of Entropia Universe. So grab your best gear and join in the Mayhem! Event Dates
Dec 14: Competition opens at 00:00 UTC. Jan 06: Competition ends 23:59 UTC. Jan 18: Competition winners will be announced. Jan 30: The missions can be turned in to Carl Tucker.
Registration - You can register for the event by accepting either one or both Merry Mayhem missions offered by the NPC Carl Tucker, located near the Port Atlantis marina at the following map coordinates: 61421 x 75105, Eudoria. Registration opens on December 14 and will remain open until the event is finished. Note that there are two separate missions: one mission for the solo event and one mission for the team event. Do not abandon the Merry Mayhem missions! If you do abandon a Merry Mayhem mission, all event points accumulated up to that time will be lost and will be unable to be replaced. Categories - The event offers several different competition categories to accommodate players of varying profession levels. Players will be sorted into one of the following four categories upon accepting the Mayhem missions.
Category 1: Highest Professional Standing 0-24 Category 2: Highest Professional standing 25-49 Category 3: Highest Professional standing 50-69 Category 4: Highest Professional Standing 70 or higher
Important Note - If during the course of the event you gain enough skills to move into the next category, you will no longer be able to enter the team instance arenas using your old keys (solo participants will not be affected). To continue participating or assisting in a team instance in such a case, you will need to chip out enough combat skills to bring your highest profession level below the effective category criteria. Participation - When you accept the solo Mayhem mission, you will automatically be placed in the appropriate category and you will receive a stack of keys, each of which entitles you to one hour of gameplay in one of the solo Merry Mayhem instances. The portals to the Merry Mayhem instances are located in Twin Peaks, just to the left of the main Service Center. You will receive 30 keys for the solo event and they will be flagged with your particular category.
If you wish to also participate in one of the team categories or assist someone else there, you will need to register for the team Mayhem mission, also available from the NPC Carl Tucker. While the solo keys only allow you to enter the solo instance specified in the key's name, the team keys allow you to access team instances of a level equal to that which your were assigned, along with all higher levels. Points toward the mission are gained by killing the special Merry Mayhem creatures found inside the instances. The Merry Mayhem prizes will be distributed based on the scoring ranks once the event is completed. Make sure to plan and spend your 30 instance hours wisely! Important Note - Do not leave an instance once the 60 minute timer has started, or you may risk having problems reentering the instance, and risk losing hunting time in the Merry Mayhem event. Mayhem Creatures The Mayhem creatures assigned to each category are:
Category 1 Team: Merry Mayhem Kerberos (T,1), Merry Mayhem Araneatrox (T,1) Category 2 Team: Merry Mayhem Kerberos (T,2), Merry Mayhem Araneatrox (T,2) Category 3 Team: Merry Mayhem Kerberos (T,3), Merry Mayhem Araneatrox (T,3) Category 4 Team: Merry Mayhem Kerberos (T,4), Merry Mayhem Araneatrox (T,4) Category 1 Solo: Merry Mayhem Kerberos (S,1), Merry Mayhem Araneatrox (S,1) Category 2 Solo: Merry Mayhem Kerberos (S,2), Merry Mayhem Araneatrox (S,2) Category 3 Solo: Merry Mayhem Kerberos (S,3), Merry Mayhem Araneatrox (S,3) Category 4 Solo: Merry Mayhem Kerberos (S,4), Merry Mayhem Araneatrox (S,4)
Points will be awarded to players based on the difficulty of creatures killed: 1 x Point - Merry Mayhem Kerberos (T,1), (T,2), (T,3), (T,4), (S,1), (S,2), (S,3), (S,4) 2 x Point - Merry Mayhem Araneatrox (T,1), (T,2), (T,3), (T,4), (S,1), (S,2), (S,3), (S,4)
We strongly recommend that you adjust your graphics settings and set shader quality to high or very high in order to make sure the lighting in the instances works properly.
