Secret World Legends' Sixth Anniversary

Happy Sixth Secret World Legends Anniversary and Eleventh Anniversary to the Secret World IP! Praise be to the Immaculate machine, because Secret World Legends' Anniversary Event begins at 9 AM EDT on 24 June 2023! The Anniversary will run through 15 July 2023 and end at 9 AM EDT on 16 July 2023, as was confirmed by Andy on 27 June 2023! Celebrate with fellow sweetlings across the Secret World and embrace Gaia's love with jubilation and joy. We love you, sweetlings all. Be free to bee!

It's a bee-utiful time for an Anniversary! Agartha's all dressed up for the occasion and the Beehemoths bee poppin' - grab a bat and your buddies and get cracking!

Witness the Talos of Gaia, sate a Gatekeeper filled with hate, bash a behemoth bee piñata known as the Beehemoth, or simply take some time to savor some sweets -- there's always something to do during the buzzing celebrations of the Anniversary!

The Hollow Earth itself is decorated for the whole duration of festivities: piñatas, balloons, and banners aplenty -- oh my! The Stationmaster has much to do and a strange shem stirs in the World Tree...

Every 2 minutes past the hour, a portal to Vibrant Agartha opens near the Hollowed Halls (550,250) for 10 minutes, allowing access to eleven (11) Gaian golems: the Talos of Gaia. Each Talos of Gaia is a 40-player Open Raid encounter and is on rotation so that only one Talos is present per hour for eleven hours. Be sure to learn the seasonal Talos of Gaia legend while the Anniversary is in effect, and gain further understanding of the Talos' principle purpose.

Defeat the Talos to receive their Genizot full of rewards aplenty. Among the things within the Genizot are a total of 11 Shards of Corruption, each one embodying the angst of the Talos whose Genizah contained them. Take the 11 shards to the Gatekeeper (500,175) and ensure all are out and accounted for in front of him. The Gatekeeper will then open a portal to a very unique section of Deep Agartha. There, the Shards of Corruption enact a ritual to summon and then infuriate the Gatekeeper into a fight in the form of a 40-player Open Raid with its own unique mechanics and rewards. But as the Buzzing says, beware a Gatekeeper overly inundated with rage…

Another encounter unique to the Anniversary Event is the Beehemoth, an enormous bee piñata spawned directly at the discretion of Funcom's Community Managers and Game Masters! An instance-wide FIFO message notifies everyone in Agartha when the Beehemoth appears right in front of the Hollowed Halls (495,240) platform! Those who bash the Beehemoth receive the [Spoils of the Beehemoth] as well as the unique [Title: Beehemoth Slayer]. Due to the irregularity and manual nature of the Beehemoth spawn, it is HIGHLY advised that any player who sees a Beehemoth call it out in General Chat as well as any other channels they desire, such as Sanctuary, so that other players can Meet Up and join the fun!

The Anniversary Cache will fly into rotation and become available later during the day on 24 June 2023. The Anniversary Cache shares the same Anima-Touched Weapons as the Agarthan Cache, but its cosmetics are its own flavor of honey. See all sweets of the Anniversary Cache and its contents or check out our Cache page for more information on the concept of Caches themselves.

There will be seasonal Daily Login Rewards available to claim once per day per character for the entire length of the Sixth Anniversary starting on 25 June 2023!

The Secret World Legends community has many player-run events planned for the Anniversary! Many of these contests have unique prizes and decorations made possible thanks to Funcom! There are contests and events for the whole range of content types, be it RP, PvE, or PvP - it's all covered by a wide variety of contests and events hosted by the players for the players. From community leaders to individual players and even Funcom themselves, everyone is eager to excite and entertain the community and game we love for its Anniversary! We have gathered up all announced Player and Funcom events scheduled to occur during the Anniversary, so check them out HERE!

All the while, it seems the Animated Angst are afoot according to activity from the Stationmaster. Why not take a look?

The Sixth Anniversary official announcement on official Secret World Legends Funcom Forums can be found HERE!

Our particle wings quiver and shiver as we dance the celebratory swarm of sweetlings all!
