For a full two weeks, you can enjoy this huge increase on Fame earned through your ingame activities: [list] [*]This buff automatically grants an additional [b]35% Fame[/b] for all non-PvP activities[/*] [*]The buff does not apply to Fame earned via PvP kills and Tomes of Insight, and does not boost the rate at which Challenge Points are earned[/*][/list] [img]//assets.albiononline.com/uploads/media/default/media/60a608e41ef47b382ef742d466a752c2d7a141ea.jpeg[/img] The dates for this year's Rites of Spring are as follows: [list] [*][b]Albion Asia [/b](formerly Albion East): March 19 to April 2 (begins and ends with maintenance)[/*] [*][b]Albion Americas [/b](formerly Albion West): March 20 to April 3 (begins and ends with maintenance)[/*][/list] And, of course, there’s a whole array of seasonal rewards for you to earn during this time, including the return of the [b]Spring Cottontail[/b] and [b]Caerleon Cottontail[/b] mounts. Read on to learn more… [h3]Spring’s Bounty[/h3] Across the open world, all treasure chests will be sprouting up at a much increased rate for the duration of this event. And in addition, special [b]Spring Treasure Chests[/b] will be appearing, containing a host of valuable items and, if you’re lucky, [b]Spring Cottontail Eggs[/b] and [b]Eerie Cottontail Eggs[/b]. [img]//assets.albiononline.com/uploads/media/default/media/c3ddc096188e1486e8df962fc097f9ecb8afe317.jpeg[/img] These Eggs can be raised into the [b]Spring Cottontail[/b] and [b]Caerleon Cottontail[/b] mounts, respectively. These[b] Tier 8 mounts[/b] are notoriously difficult to catch - both in their rarity and their speed - and are simply some of the cutest mounts you’ll ever see. Each come with a unique [b]Hop[/b] ability, while the Caerleon Cottontail also has the terrifying [b]Rabbit Frenzy[/b] ability. You really don’t want to be on the wrong end of that, trust me. [h3]…And There’s More[/h3] On top of all these rewards, [b]Colored Eggs[/b] are popping up across Albion again, containing [b]chocolate[/b], [b]Surprise Eggs[/b], and, very occasionally, [b]Cottontail Eggs[/b]. Yes, that’s a lot of [b]eggs[/b]. And it’s a busy time for Albion’s vanity merchants, who are sure to do a roaring trade in [b]Eggsecutioner[/b] vanity weapons, [b]“Bunny Stalker”[/b] Wardrobe items, [b]Chocolate Bars[/b], and more.

Think we need a lie down before the frenzy starts. Oh no, what are those bunny ears coming this way…
