There is but one force that can reduce castles to rubble, armies to ash, and kingdoms to history: dragons. Proud and intelligent creatures with strength unparalleled, that they should be turned to war is only a natural use of their innate talents.
Our Dragon celebration continues with the ‘Conquerors of the Skies’ event arc, beginning on October 3rd! You’ll have further opportunities to upgrade your Dragon Lore Excavation Plot, earn hero relics for the new Dragon Hero, Rhaegal, and gather Pawn Shards for the new Dragon’s Dominion March Pawn.
Additionally, the 5th Anniversary of Game of Thrones: Conquest is quickly approaching on October 19th, so we’d like to give you a glimpse into the new content and fun activities planned for October. Let’s dive right in!
5 Years of Game of Thrones: Conquest!
Game of Thrones: Conquest was officially released 5 years ago on October 19th, 2017, so we’re celebrating this month with a few fun activities, some even baked into the next event arc, The Book of Conquest! Be sure to pay close attention to each of its event descriptions as it recaps historical moments throughout the game’s lifecycle, including the first allegiance to takeover King’s Landing, an accounting mistake made by the Iron Bank, the start of the War of the Eight Kingdoms, and more!
Community Choice PvE Event
We recently created a poll to determine which enemies the community wanted to fight again from the past. The results are in and you all have decided on the Dragonriders, Sons of the Harpy, and Grumkins and Snarks! On October 4th, you’ll have the chance to square off against them again in a special Community Choice PvE Event.
Player Interview Series
In conjunction with the culmination of our 5-Year Anniversary, we’ll be debuting an exciting new Player Interview series in October! While you may have heard about our ambassador program, the Player Council and Court, you may not have had the opportunity to get to know its members. This Player Interview series aims to spotlight our Council Members for their dedicated and thoughtful feedback, as well as provide insight into who is representing the interests of our Community. Some of these members have also been around since the release of the game, so be on the look out for their own recap of historical and epic Game of Thrones: Conquest moments!
New Hero – Wun Wun Joins Battlegrounds: Titans of the North!
As teased during our previous Discord Stage, Wun Wun will be joining Game of Thrones: Conquest as an exclusive hero reward for Battlegrounds: Titans of the North! The Giant of the Free Folk will be available in the next coming weeks, but we’ll provide a more precise date as we get closer. For now, let’s describe his skills and focuses.
Wun Wun assumes the role of Master of War on the Small Council and can switch focuses depending on whether he’s leading your marches or advising from the council. As a march-leader, he’ll boost your Ranged Health, Defense, and Attack against Seats of Power. However, if you decide to seat him at the Council, you’ll be boosting your Cavalry Health against other Players and Cavalry Defense and Attack against other Player’s Infantry — a great choice for when you’re fighting against your direct counter!
New Valyrian Champion Gear Set
Part of the Book of Conquest event arc in October, we’ll be introducing the brand new Valyrian Champion gear set! Your first opportunity to craft it will be on October 4th when “The Grand Armory” event goes live.
From head-to-toe, each piece goes all-out in bolstering your Infantry troops for PvE and PvP activities! Expect to see stats for general Infantry Health, Defense, and Attack as well as boosts that apply towards other players and combat at Seats of Power. Infantry mains shouldn’t miss out on this set!
Let us know your thoughts on the Valyrian Champion gear set and how you’ll be implementing it into your loadouts. As always, you can discuss your builds and provide feedback in the #smithy channel of our Discord!
Dragon Rewards Available Through October
As a reminder, the Dragon Lore Excavation Plot, Rhaegal Hero Relics, and Dragon’s Dominion Pawn Shards will only be available to earn until the end of October. Here’s a quick run-down so you don’t miss your chance to grab these rewards:
Unlock a 24-Hour Dragon Lore Excavation Unlock Boost by completing your Daily Quests! Use it to construct or upgrade your existing Dragon Lore Excavation resource plot.
On October 3rd during the ‘Even the Mighty Fall’ event, you’ll have a chance to earn additional Hero Relics for Rhaegal! As always, these hero relics can also be earned by praying at the Shrine and completing Daily Quests during the entirety of the “Beasts of Old Valyria” events.
Need to earn more Pawn Shards for the Dragon’s Dominion March Pawn? You’ll want to participate in the ‘No Fortress is Safe’ event on October 10th. Pawn shards can also be earned by praying at the Shrine and completing Daily Quests.
Note: For those itching for more opportunities to collect Rhaegal relics, worry not! Beasts of Old Valyria special rewards will continue to be available till October 31st, 10:00 am, EDT! Afterward, you can to expect to see Rhaegal pop up again, likely in your Hero Summons!
