​

Cassiopeia returns features the following:

· The Big Turtle (Cooperation and Competition)
· 3 new designs
· 1 new pet
· 2 Admirals
· 2 series of quests - with two repeatable quest
· Dragonturtle Egg Nests & Event chests
· Big Turtle - daily ranking list & Event ranking list​

During the Cassiopeia returns event you will find two 2 event ships sailing regularly on the seven seas:

· The strong Turtle Raider - must be shot with elite ammunition
· The annoying Snapjaw - can be shot with all types of ammunition​

You might also meet one - or both - of two Admirals: Turtle Crusher and Devourer.

The admirals must be shot with elite ammunition.

All event ships can be found in the maps 2 - 20.

You will off course meet Cassiopeia, the giant two-headed turtle. You need to work together with the other members of your server to shoot at Cassiopeia and in that way cause as much damage against her as possible.

You will probably not be able to kill Cassiopeia, but… the more damage you cause to her, the more benefits you will gain!

Shooting Cassiopeia is a kind of an event in the event. You and your fellow players on each server need to joins forces.

Every 24 hours, from noon till noon, you will have to cause a preset minimum of damage to Cassiopeia. The amount of damage you caused on the previous day defines the new margin you have to cross.

There will be 4 Cassiopeia’s which are located in 4 different maps. All the points made against any of the 4 Cassiopeia’s are counted to reach the daily target, so it doesn’t matter which of the 4 you shoot at. All types of ammunition can be used.

During the first 24 hours you will need to shoot away at least 3.000.000.000 HP from Cassiopeia.

If you succeed in causing more than this amount of damage, you - and all other players on your server - will receive Cassiopeia’s Might, starting at the beginning of the next 24 hours.

During each period, you will have to cause more damage, than the period before - and never less than 3.000.000.000 HP. This is the only way to gain/maintain Cassiopeia’s Might.

When a server achieves Cassiopeia’s Might, it will make big changes to the event for the server, which is why everyone should participate in damaging Cassiopeia!

When the Cassiopeia’s Might active, the spawning of Turtle Raider’s will increase to the double spawn and only half the amount of the annoying Snapjaws will spawn!

Furthermore, the Dragon Turtle Egg Nests, (read more below), will have less HP and thus be easier to destroy - and the content will improve!

Shell Shock ammo causes much more damage than any other ammunition.

The rewards for sinking the event ships are:

Turtle Raider

Depending on damage caused => Radiant Souls and EXP
Last shot => Crystals​

Snapjaw

Depending on damage caused => Cursed Souls, EXP and a change of some Shell Shock Ammo.​

Admiral Turtle Crusher

Depending on damage caused => EXP and Pearls.
Most damage => A small chance of winning the Ballista Design.​

Admiral Devourer

In addition to the general reward of Cassiopeia’s Might, (if the minimum damage is reached, that is!), there will be a daily ranking for damage caused against Cassiopeia with the following prizes:

Rank	Reward

If you visit Alexandros or the new Quest Giver, Elisa Bradford, in a Safe Haven, they will challenge you with a series of quests to solve.

At each Quest giver one of the quests can be carried out more than once.

You will find Event Treasure Chests and Dragonturtle Egg Nests .

Event Chests

You can open with Event Keys. They can be bought on the Black Market.
In the Chests you will find many useful items, like ammunition, crystals and medallions.

If your server has Cassiopeia’s Might active, you will also receive 2 Radiant Souls!

Egg Nests must be shot with Harpoons. Items such as Shell Shock Ammo, Crystals, and Cannons can be obtained from the Nests, if you make the last shot!

If your server has Cassiopeia’s Might active, the Nests will have reduced HP and you will also receive 2 Cursed Souls!

This Ranking List will give rewards to those players, which made the most points during the whole event.
