Jousting

Those who are interested in jousting must first choose which side they will ride for — the two competing sides change with each run of this event.

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!

The fox hunt is a quick chase to find the cunning fox. Adventurers have 90 seconds to track down the fox to be awarded currency and other prizes! Finding other fauna in Rumor Woods will also come with rewards!
