New World Update 1.9.4 downtime will begin at 11:00PM PT (6:00AM UTC) on May 23 and and kicks off the Fury of the Spriggan event. Downtime is slated to last approximately 1 hour. [h2]Fury of the Spriggan[/h2] The Earth has been restless since the Ennead awoke. Empower your weapons, confront Dryads, and save Aeternum from the Fury of the Spriggan. Courageous players can join 20+ Adventurers in open world encounters from May 24 to June 13 for daily, event-specific rewards. Dryad Shamans have been spotted throughout Brightwood, Ebonscale Reach, Edengrove, Mourningdale, and Brimstone Sands. Construct Flame Braziers to strengthen your weapons before these deadly foes overrun Aeternum.
