Protector's Jubilee!

It’s that time again, when Neverwinter celebrates another year of not being razed to the ground by rampaging orcs, torched by marauding dragons, or devoured by hungry demons!

The Protector’s Jubilee will begin on Tuesday, June 20 at 7:30am PT (or after maintenance) on PC and 10am PT on Console

The Protector’s Jubilee will end on Tuesday, June 27 at 7:30am PT on PC and 10am PT on Console (the event store will be available at the dais for a few days afterwards)

In celebration of this year’s Jubilee, Lord Neverember seeks to refill his coffers after months of austerity by slashing trade tariffs to encourage visiting traders. As a result, traders from far and wide are making their way to the city to ply their wares. Of course, the Sword Coast is a dangerous place, and these traders need the help of brave adventurers to make it safely to Neverwinter. Blacklake, Ebon Downs, and Whispering Caverns are rumored to be pretty dangerous. Look for some to also attempt deliveries to your Stronghold if you’re in a guild.

The Protector’s Jubilee is Neverwinter’s big anniversary event, when the city is decked in bunting and confetti floats on the breeze. The game is now four years old, and it’s time to celebrate!

In addition to our week of bonuses and freebies, Protector's Enclave will be decorated with celebratory banners while performers juggle and breathe fire on the city streets.  The doors to the richly decorated Protector's Garden will open to all visitors during the event, but after the festivities, only those who have redeemed a Garden Key may enter.

Elminster’s Messages – As part of Elminster Aumar’s visit to Protector’s Enclave, he is seeking the help of adventurers to deliver grim tidings to the Harper agents scattered across the Sword Coast. Players will travel to various zones to accomplish missions, speaking to Harpers in the field. Players of at least level 6 will have a chance to receive two random quests based on their level. Completing the quest will grant you Protector’s Figurines that can be used to redeem Jubilee items in the event store.

Protector’s Speech Skirmish – Lord Neverember has taken this time of celebration to address the people of the city, but unsavory elements want to do anything they can to disrupt the speech. It is up to you to help prevent these creatures from disrupting this joyous occasion.

The Protector’s Speech is a scaling skirmish event that takes place in Protector’s Enclave. Each run, three randomized encounters will attack different parts of the city, and adventurers will have to defend the city and defeat the creatures. Defeat the hordes and you will be rewarded with many items including Neverwinter Renown.

Guilds will also find traveling merchants coming to their Stronghold, who must be escorted safely through the surrounding lands. Guilds will have access to a series of temporary traders that can visit the Stronghold for 24 hours, providing valuable guild currencies for small contributions of wood, stone, metal, and food. There’s never been a better time to join a guild and help them grow

Taking part in the event earns players the Protector’s Bounty—packs of items including Protector’s Figurines, Renown, and more. Players can also share gifts with one another by raising a toast to Neverember’s generosity in the form of the Protector’s Hospitality. The more of each item players use, the better the rewards become. Players can earn temporary discounts in other stores, novelty items, and much more, all free while the event is running!

 

Protector’s Figurines and Renown can be used to purchase a variety of rewards! Two new rewards are available this year:

Jubilee Unicorn: This majestic creature has been adorned with bright hues to honors the services of the heroes of Neverwinter!

Shadow Dragon Throne: One does not simply sit on a throne! Intimidate those around you while relaxing in your new throne!

In addition to the new throne and mount, players can still purchase:

Throne of Boo – A throne sculpted in honor of the unsung hero of the fight against Elemental Evil. With your own golden hamster guardians at your side, you’ll be the envy of all in Neverwinter.

Throne of the Gamemaster – This throne may not give you the powers of the great wizard Portobello DaVinci, but the gargoyle sculptures may serve as inspiration as you sit and ponder great adventures.

This classy set is sought after by fashion enthusiasts along the Sword Coast to flaunt their rank amongst the other commoners that walk in the city.

Fancy Cloaks – With these fancy cloaks, you’ll be the talk of the town as you ride gallantly to Lord Neverember’s rescue. Choose between the Cloak of the Waterdhavian Open Lords, the Ceremonial Cloak of Neverember, the Cloak of the Guardian of Neverwinter and the Lord Protector’s Ceremonial Cloak.

For your dailies:

Elminister will give you some easy tasks to do around NeverWinter.  Recover a Courier's Sachel, a Harper's Pin, drop a note in a well, all easy runs, or some version of the two, both give you:

 

Protector's Bounty Boxes (bound to character) 6that contain many things; in general, open one pack each day to get the daily reward, then open another 4 to get to 5 opened for expanded rewards, and as you open more you get more possible rewards.

 

 

Run the Protector's speech skirmish - its just a sieres of small fights around Protecto'rs Enclaves, all set to level 60.  The rewards are 50+100 Neverwinter Renown, Skirmish AD, Elminster's lunchbox, several rank 3 and 4 enchantments you can use for refinement.1

  Finishing this quest gives you access to the Secret Garden to claim the reward, one of of the event rewards is a key for permanent access to this space.

  The secret garden has an auctioneer, salvager, mailbox, tradebar merchant, and a general store.

 

The last is in the Stronghold, where you have to escort a merchant from the edge of the map to near the Stronghold.  He only can be healed by AoE heals, so your normal healer won't help much.  Keep him alive if able. Should he perish, you can open protector's bounty boxes to give you protector's orders to restart the mission.  More boxes will drop on the mission, you can purposefully fail the mission to run it again and get more boxes, on top of the L70 items, refining stones from Hoard Enchantments and double R5 stones that drop, this is a lucrative farm.  The reward for the completing the mission is only 1 Protector's Bounty

 

 At some point the boxes no longer give protector's orders.  I opened 15 one time and got no orders, so it is not guaranteed:

You can run ahead and clear mobs on the path, but there are spawns on the path you can not do that for, so you have to get aggro away from the merchant.

First, just after the bridge.

Sadly, no matter what you do, I had an aggro pet out and a another aggro getter ability, the last group ignores them and you and goes right for the merchant, without AoE heals, he's dead, and you have to start all over again.  One failed run netted me 6 more boxes.

Open: 1 Orders, 2 Orders. After that, I started to not get orders, switched instances, no luck, opened 11 total boxes to get new orders, and received none.

This is where farming comes in as a group, just like most other events.  Each person in the group, has one order, we all run the mission together, and each time only one person uses their order.  Running the mission many times as a group drops more rewards, more boxes, and gets more orders, to keep doing it.
