Rumor Woods is an expansion to Summit Academy that was first run in June 2019 and introduced mounts to Gemstone, along with jousting. Similar to Duskruin Arena, the majority of transactions are handled without merchant interaction. This event offers the same customization options found during the original runs of Summit Academy and adds the Rumor Woods expansion where players can play games, buy mounts, customize them, and buy gear for themselves or their mounts.

Activities

  • Jousting - Those who are interested in jousting must first choose which side they will ride for. They will then don traditional jousting gear, saddle up on their steed of choice, and prepare for battle! Jousting wins will be tallied toward your faction’s total, and once the event ends, those aligned with the winning side will receive not only bragging rights, but new titles as well!
