Strohmienerk's Bash
The jovial Shugo Strohmienerk is eagerly awaiting the chance to ring in the new year alongside you. Yet, he seeks your aid to set up for the celebration by collecting each of the letters necessary to spell the words NEW YEAR. Set on the quest [Event] Hoard Letters for NEW YEAR, accomplishable once per character, you'll snag the [Event] New Year Gift Pack holding these marvelous rewards:
- 5x Major Ancient Crown
- 3x [Event] Enchantment Stone (Level 110)
- 5x Yasba's Grace
- 1x Fine Forgotten Memory Fragment
- 1x Fine Crucible Siege Weapon Bundle
- 3x [Event] Rare Manastone Bag (Level 60)
Grab the letters for Strohmienerk from the [Event] New Year Letter Bundle as well as various PvP and PvE pursuits. In Laphsaran, Elyos need to defeat 7 adversary Daevas for [Daily] Diadrome's Demand, while Asmodians face the same duty in [Daily] Rissagon's Request. Completing the task lands you an [Event] New Year Letter Bundle among other goodies!
Take note that you and your group members can relish in a letter bundle drop when conquering these bosses throughout the event:
| Instance | Boss |
| Beshmundir Temple | Stormwing |
| Padmarashka's Cave | Irascible Padmarashka |
| The Red Throne: Telos | Tiamat |
| Sunken Telos | Raging Samael |
| Tartarus | Unstable Phaestos |
| Phaestos' Disc | Phaestos |
| Wall of Lament | Doomed Samael |
Guests in Laphsaran
To aid you and fellow Daevas with nabbing the letters, two industrious Shugos have journeyed to Laphsaran: Vindachinerk the Cube Artisan and Chelsirunerk the Relic Collector.
Vindachinerk is constantly bustling and hard at work, but seize this chance to nab the elusive Shugo and wrap up the quest to expand your cube! Meanwhile, drop by Chelsirunerk to exchange your prized Abyss relics without the anxiety of a lurking foe.
Have a fantastic time and a joyful new year!
