Siege of Sulfur offers the chance to earn rewards by joining with 10 other players to defend sandwurm eggs from Sulfur Elementals. Dunewalker Mages need support to defend the eggs in several places, including Brightwood, Ebonscale Reach, and Brimstone Sands.  That’s where you come in. Defend against the waves of Elementals to earn things like a mini Devourer hat skin, a housing item, gear, and more.

Standard rewards depend on how many eggs you successfully defend and include consumables one gear score 700 procedural weapon or armor piece and random loot like resources or crafting schematics. Defend two eggs and you'll earn similar items in larger quantities. defend all three eggs for two GS 700 procedural weapons or armor pieces, consumables, and a guaranteed Obsidian Gypsum.

While there's no limit on standard rewards, three times a day you can also earn bonus rewards. The timer resets at 5am. These include a guaranteed event-only procedural weapon (Epic+) and GS 700, guaranteed dark matter, and a chance at event skins and other event items like the Sandwurm Egg of the Protector housing item.

The event begins on February 4th and runs through February 24th, giving you plenty of chances to grab some loot. There's even a chance, new this year, to obtain 710 GS items every day.

New World: Aeternum is also bringing back a slate of double XP weeks. Starting today through February 3rd, you can take advantage of double gathering XP.  February 25th through March 3rd, there will be double refining XP. March 18th through the 24th and April 15th through the 21st will feature double weapon XP. April 29th-May 5th will offer another round of double refining XP.
