The Birthday event started earlier today and will run for a week!
Birthday balloons can be bought with either in-game gold or for real money through the game shop which can then be donated to a communal balloon supply. Additionally, you can find balloons when opening chests and killing bosses in The Valley of Gods.
As we reach predetermined balloon milestones in the supply, the experience bonus everyone in the game receives increases. The experience bonus starts at 2% at caps out at 25%. At the time of writing this message, we're comfortable at 14%.
Similar to previous events, there's a new role (1st Birthday benefactor) Role on Discord available for players who end up in the Top Donors list at the end of the event.
What a first year it was. Here's to many more to come!
Have fun and enjoy the bonus experience!
