Events

The Island is filled with interesting places to explore and loot to collect. When you're done exploring you may want to test yourself against some of the more challenging events on offer.

These events range dramatically and some have a surprise in store for the players who engage with them - keep your nerve, keep your eyes open and adapt.

To minimise players treading on each other toes, we ask that you let other players know before tackling some events & monuments by using a chat command like /heli or /doing - check the relevant page for full details.
