New World, fresh off the release of its first Season, Fellowship & Fire, is about to usher in a festive and colorful occasion in Aeternum. Springtide Bloom begins next week, and will bring mystery, and of course, new rewards.
If you’re level 20 or higher, you’ll be able to participate in the event. The official description gives an idea of what to expect:
“The Time of Awakening has arrived. Springtide Bloom calls its children to share an ancient secret capable of granting true freedom. Help the enigmatic Bloom Herald unravel the mysteries of the ethereal Wispybloom on April 26 through May 23 and collect Springtide's fertile bounty of event-specific rewards. Harvest with caution, as swarms of vile Wispy Wasps guard the blooms with fury!”
Settlements will be host to a special decorated event centerpiece surrounded by gift baskets. You can loot each centerpiece once per day to get rewards. Recently, the team announced that based on the Legacy of Crassus event and community feedback, they would be updating event lootto make sure that even though the top tier guaranteed items would be good, they wanted to make the subsequent tier items also be valuable.
Looting the centerpieces will get you a guaranteed Diamond Gypsum if you’re level 60. You can get six of these per day from different centerpieces. Other guaranteed rewards include 1-3 Wispy Spritz and 25 Event Reputation. Other rewards have a chance to drop, and include some Springtide event rewards as well as things like more Wispy Spritz, or dyes.
Springtide Villages will host a pile of party bags that you can also loot once a day, with several 100% guaranteed drops and a 1.3% drop rate special Springtide Pattern. Harvest some Prismabloom flowers around Aeternum and you have a chance at Springtide Tokens or the rare Premium Springtide Token.
All in all, this is an event that is more of a celebration and good for picking up some new loot. You’ll be able to exchange tokens for a selection of additional rewards. Ranking up in Event Reputation will unlock new items in the event shop too. It seems that the New World team is varying event types and loot changes. With Crassus and the return of Rabbit’s Revenge, this one seems more like a festive occasion.
