Last summer, there were two different versions of the popular Puzzlewood Forest area, a solo version and a group version. Either a solo or a group version had been provided in previous summer events, and 2018 was the first year to provide both. To further distinguish the two zones from one another, the solo version was renamed "Starving Rock" and redesigned into a somewhat smaller, circular area (as opposed to the rectangular Puzzlewood Forest).

Pre-event
Last summer, there were two different versions of the popular Puzzlewood Forest area, a solo version and a group version. Either a solo or a group version had been provided in previous summer events, and 2018 was the first year to provide both. To further distinguish the two zones from one another, the solo version was renamed "Starving Rock" and redesigned into a somewhat smaller, circular area (as opposed to the rectangular Puzzlewood Forest). Several of the monsters were changed to better fit the new setting, and many others had their special attacks changed to be more appropriate for one-on-one fights.

Story
Welcome to the seventh annual Summer Solstice Celebration! The war between the Naginag Combine and the Duchy of Takar is heating up. With the latter desperate to break the siege of its capitol, Takari mages have devised a new strategy to drive the Combine from ducal lands. In an effort to counter this new strategy, the Naginag Combine needs every mercenary that they can get to put down this new threat to their operations in the Dunn Hurr. Three battlegrounds are now available! You can join the fight via 'event start'. The minimum level for these battleground zones is 30. They are intended to challenge small groups, and at least one group member should know the 'dispel magic' spell. Mission quests can be completed multiple times and in any order. (Special thanks to Colonel, Rhorae and Sandman for playtesting.) We also have two longer scenarios available for play: Endless Waltz and Shoot-the-Curl. The first is a single player autolevelling zone, while the latter is a high level group zone with wave after wave of monsters of increasing strength! The "Endless Waltz" scenario is for players of all levels. To complete the scenario, you must defeat 1500 monsters. Monsters in the "Endless Waltz" area will autolevel to be a challenge for your level but will not increase in strength (unless you level up). You can leave the area and start a new instance at will, and will pick up where you left off in the monster death count. To complete the "Shoot-the-Curl" challenge, you must survive 41 waves of monsters, with each new wave more difficult than the last. If an instance washes, then the waves will restart at Wave 0 in any new instance. You receive credit for slaying monsters that are of equal or greater wave than the quest you're currently working toward. For example, if you are working on Wave 2 (as indicated in your 'quests' command) and join a group that is working on Wave 10, then you will receive credit for Wave 2. Happy summer, everybody!
