Events are also listed on the Soulbound Discord.
How Events Work
Most events take the form of cumulative contributions - global targets that require the entire playerbase to work together.
Events can have a:
- Timer
- Progress Bar
- Ranking for each participant
Once the Progress Bar is filled, the event is considered finished. Thereafter, rewards are distributed to the player's mailbox based on individual contributions.
To claim an award, the Progress Bar must be filled and/or event Timer ended. If the Progress Bar is not filled, the event will be considered Unfinished and rewards will not be granted to participants - further incentivizing players to contribute.
Event activities award participants with two exclusive currencies:
- Commission Medals – earned primarily through Weekly challenges
- Commission Credits – earned primarily through 1-Day challenges, the daily dungeon quest, and supplementary event items
Event currencies can be exchanged for Cosmetic weapons, armor, and Follower pets from the Monthly Vendor and Weekly Vendor at the Pioneer Guild.
Vendors have a rotating inventory based on events and time.
- Lunar New Year event items are sold once a year at the Weekly Vendor.
- Lovebound occurs around the week of Valentine's Day, February 14th.
