A few important tips to remember:
- All of this year's event rare items are available individually from the Black Friday Shop in your game menu until the event leaves December 10th.
- The Hollowborn Collection Chest is a seasonal item and will not be included in the Dark Holiday Collection Chest.
- In order to prevent shop abuse, the Dark Holiday 2021 Collection Chest and DeadM0g pet cannot be sold.
New HollowBorn Boss Battle
This weekend, /join hbchallenge and find Hel Fö, the Hollowborn Judge's disciple. She passes judgements handed down by the ShadowFiend. No matter the outcome of the judgment, it will always be fair... and the Hollowborn Judge's sentence is final. Complete her quests to collect Hollowborn Writs, then use them in the merge shop to an all-new set of gear.
Next week: the pieces of the Hollowborn DoomKnight set will arrive, but you can begin farming for them now!
Note: The /shadowharvest map has been renamed to /shadowcliff. The maps are now permanently available. Happy Hollowborn reward farming!
HollowBorn Collection Chest
The Hollowborn Evoker set, created for Black Friday by AQW Community artist, Yo Lae, is a Black Friday seasonal collection chest. Unlock a TON of dark, deadly items for 5,000 AdventureCoins when you get the Hollowborn Chest pet (items available in the pet's shop).
The Hollowborn Collection includes:
- Hollowborn Collection chest pet (has shop for all the gear)
- Hollowborn Lightning pet (with quest for character page badge)
The Hollowborn Chest is seasonal, and will return every Black Friday. (Please note, the Hollowborn Chest does not receive new items each year, and will not receive the 2021 Hollowborn Judge or DoomKnight farming items. You can battle the boss this weekend to unlock those.)
We’re very sorry, but we cannot offer exchanges or compensation or exchanges on IoDA choices when an item is recoloured and released for Black Friday or Cyber Monday anymore. The IoDA program allows you to access rare items you would not otherwise have access to. Due to this, and the fact that recolours are not the same as the original items, we can no longer give any additions bonus or compensation for these items.
