Valentine's Day: Love's Shield
As the Valentine's Day festivities spread across the realm, whispers of a sinister presence emanating from the Hibernian Maze have once again surfaced. Tales tell of a malevolent pair, their love steeped in darkness, spreading chaos and corruption as they revel in their twisted affection.
The golden lovers mini event has begun! Players can visit the following NPC's to obtain the quest [Valentine's] Love's Shield:

-
Players who completed this quest last year can complete it again this year and obtain the shield.

Have you or your friends been thinking of coming back to Dark Age of Camelot? Or are you a veteran player just looking for a change of pace!? Now is a great time to return home to DAoC!
Our 12th Catch Up In Caledonia event begins today Wednesday, December 4th at 3PM EST / 9PM CET!
Read on for the full details!
What is Catch Up in Caledonia?
It's a way to start fresh and rapidly progress to the end-game with players around your level!
The 6-day long event that will take place entirely in the Realm vs Realm-enabled Caledonia battleground zone.
Players will start at level 30 and rapidly progress to level 50 all while earning gear, master levels, champion levels, and realm ranks along the way!
By events end, participants will be ready to compete in the Frontier!
When does the event start and end?
The event starts precisely at 3 PM EST / 9 PM CET on Wednesday, December 4th a nd will end at 3 PM EST / 9 PM CET on Monday, December 9th.
How does the event work?
-
For the duration of the Caledonia event, newly created level 1 characters will be automatically zoned into the Caledonia battleground where they will vie for control against the enemy realms!
-
This will be the ONLY way to get inside the battleground zone. Once inside, characters can voluntarily leave but CANNOT return!
-
Once inside the event, players can speak with the Event Coordinator NPC to "catch" up to level 30 and receive a quest for free NPC buff tokens and 3,000 bounty points to spend on gear/items/pots. (Hint: speaking with the Caledonia Obelisk to receive the XP buff before leveling up will speed up the level process)
-
All monsters, center-keep guards, and siege weapons are removed for the event. The only way to progress is by defeating realm enemies in battle and completing the related quests.
-
Charm-pet classes will be able to create a pet to charm at their realm's portal keep.
-
Experience, bounty, and realm point bonuses will be granted to both free and subscribed accounts in the battleground to help them progress!
-
Earn bounty points for completing quests and defeating enemy realm players and use them to purchase level-appropriate gear as you strive to 50 and then master and champion levels!
-
All characters will begin and remain in the same Caledonia zone for the entirety of the event.
-
The following level caps will be in place for all characters in Caledonia and will increase as follows every 24 hours:
-
Day 1 (Wednesday): Level 39
-
Day 2 (Thursday) : Level 49
-
Days 3-6 (Fri-Mon): Level 50
-
Characters that reach the day's level cap will still be able to earn realm and bounty points. However, please note that there are realm point hard caps to each level and should you hit the realm point cap, you will stop gaining realm points until you progress in levels.
-
Characters that are 5 levels or more below the day's level cap will receive the Caledonia Boost buff.
-
This buff greatly increases the damage dealt and greatly reduces damage received from characters that do not have the buff (higher level characters)!
-
Characters with the Caledonia Boost buff active will also DOUBLE the XP and BP rewards for themselves and their group!
-
When the level cap reaches 49 the buff will be given out to characters 3 or more levels under the cap.
-
Overwhelming Force is turned on for this event. Here's how it works:
-
When 1 realm outnumbers another by 3 to 1 odds or more and has at least 25+ members in the area of the kill(s), the deathspam will change to "killed by overwhelming force!" and the following restrictions will apply:
-
Quest kill-credit will not be given for overwhelming force kills.
-
Realm points are also drastically reduced for overwhelming force kills.
-
This system is designed to encourage groups to roam around separately more during the event!
-
These restrictions only apply within Caledonia and not in any other RvR zone.
How far will I be able to progress?
Players that start at the beginning of the event should be able to reach level 50, Champion level 15, Master level 10, and Realm Rank 5+ with the potential to earn much higher realm ranks! Characters will also be able to earn enough bounty points to not only obtain gear as they progress towards level 50 but also to use for end-game gear via Bountycrafting after reaching level 50!
Event Updates
Artifacts
Artifacts activated in Caledonia will activate at level 9.
Obelisk System
Each of the 4 keeps within Caledonia will house an Obelisk. This Obelisk offers players a different buff depending on the keep. Players can right click the keep's Obelisk to receive this buff (30 mins duration). Obelisks are only active from day 3 (level 50).
