Incursion of Flame World Event

The big new thing this PTS patch is the reveal of the “Incursion of Flame” world event. Details are still scarce, but it is likely this involves the new floating island in Planetouched Wilds.

The world event reads “With the Defiant and Guardian armies busy on Ahnket the Shields of Telara stand tall against the incursions of the Planes. They need your help with an Incursion from the Plane of Fire.”

Rewards for this event seem to include the following:

  • Fire Cloak of the Wise Champion
  • Fire Cloak of the Brute Champion
  • Fire Cloak of the Deft Champion
  • Fire Cloak of the Cunning Champion

That’s all for today! Given the lack of models for the companions
