For 2022, it began on November 14 and ended November 27 at 23:00 PST. The frogloks of Rathe Mountains have decided that this is the season to reach out to the ogres and trolls of Innothule Swamp. They have sent the young froglok, Zok Glooria, to bring the feast to those bashers and bouncers now inhabiting the swamp. She may need a little assistance in making sure that the feasts are delivered without being feasted upon. She offers two new quests that have been set to be accepted by all character levels. Once the bouncers have been fed, Bouncer Mako offers a follow-up quest.

Scorched Sky
The new Scorched Sky Celebration has begun and it's time for one and all to celebrate the power of fire and flame where weakness and those faint of heart will surely be tested. Starting in Lavastorm, each of you can speak with a Devotee of Flame to get started and to truly show your own allegiance to Fennin and Solusek Ro. The Scorched Sky is an annual event first introduced in 2022.

For 2022, the event began on Monday, June 27 at 00:00 PDT and ended on Sunday, July 10 at 23:00 PDT.

The event consists of three quests and one group mission.

Quests "Seek out Carlene Snizzlefriz, near the Temple of Solusek Ro, in the Lavastorm Mountains. The Devotee of Flame has been investigating the changing composition of the lava. She is working to protect the local wildlife from unintended changes. Being a devoted follower of Solusek Ro, she is curious if the changing lava can be used for creating new pyrotechnics."
