NorthPointe: a Safe Haven?

Keep the city of NorthPointe Safe... If You Can!

This weekend, journey to the town of Northpointe, your hometown on the continent of Drakonis. Gear up, listen to the townspeople’s rumors, and defend this safe haven from creatures driven to frenzy by the Queen of All Monsters minions!  As her influence begins to spread, there is only one question you must answer: is anywhere safe?

Rumors of plague AND of invasion have begun circulating around Northpointe. As you battle, speak with each of the NPCs to learn more about what's to come!

Meet the Residents of Northpointe

Northpointe is full of refugees who will be moving on to other towns on the fractured island of Drakonus, but these fine folk have decided to make a life here. They've got quests, shops, and rumors aplenty for you! Battle to keep their home safe, earn their trust by raising your Northpointe reputation, and unlock over 50 new items!

• Cleric Crystal, Northpointe Reputation Vendor
• Magnus Steel, Guardian of Northpointe
• Reens, Alchmist and Potion Shop Vendor
• Dufar Deepstone, Dwarven Weaponsmith
• Myrini StarEye, Astromancer and Magic Shop vendor
• Faith the Beastmaster, Pet Shop Vendor
• Flash RivenTree, Haberdasher and Accessories Vendor
• Bryce ElderWind, BrightShield Recruiter
• Shakaz, Shadowrise Recruiter
• Valarth, Havokrun Recruiter

This... Is... NORTHPOINTE!

Note: in order to unlock Bryce, Shakaz, and Valarth's shops, you'll need to gain rank 10 Northpointe reputation. After all, they've heard stories about you, Hero... and they're not sure WHERE your allegiance lies right now. You've got to earn their trust, and it won't be easy.

NEXT week:

• It's Friday the 13th PLUS Hero's Heart Day!
• The Legend-only Daily XP Boost quest returns! Talk to Ragnar to begin.
• The Superbowl Shop leaves this Monday.

February 20th:
