The Contest of Liars

This year, 3 factions are once again vying for your attention, each with their own agenda and rewards. 

The seventh annual Contest of Liars begins this week and we have a feeling it will be absolutely frightful! “What is the Contest of Liars?” you ask. Well, it is a race for treats like none you have ever seen before. 

Participation in this contest is simple:

Step 1 - choose a team Step 2 - gather some tasty treats from all over the sword coast Step 3 - profit.

Teams

This year’s new team is the Highway Robbery, led by the Headless Horseman. They will be joined by the Denizens of the Deep , led by Lloogoon, and Porcelain Patricians, led by the Gentleman Skeleton. All three teams can now be found in the main event dais in Protector’s Enclave.

Please note that your team choice is account-wide; once you've chosen a team on one character, that choice extends to all other characters on that account.

Contributions

Now that you have a team, the next step is pretty straightforward. Complete** daily quests **and add to your team’s stockpile of treats. When the contest ends, the team that has gathered the most treats wins the contest. Any team members who have contributed the minimum amount will qualify for a free gift and additional bonuses. 

The minimum required contribution can be tracked on the UI in the event tracker. This value is account-wide, so you can participate with any number of characters. The tallies for each team are hidden, and the winner will not be revealed until the last day.

The daily tasks available for each team ask you to gather a variety of different treats in 2 ways. First, you must visit all of our hub areas and seek out Spectral Tricksters. While wearing your team’s mask you must ask them for a trick or a treat and hope that they are in a treat giving mood, because the tricks can be rather ghoulish. 

The second task involves acquiring treats from the corpses of the enemies you defeat. This must also be done with the mask equipped. A word of warning: The mask uses the head slot, so you must be extra careful when doing this kind of trick or treating.

Rewards

So after all this work, what nifty prizes will be available? Unlike previous years, the winning team’s illusion mask will not be awarded directly. Instead, a Masquerade Veil Choice Pack containing masks of the three active teams for that year will be available at the event vendor to be claimed by members of the winning team.

Players not on the winning team will receive a Consolation Prize, which includes 200 Masquerade Tokens. 

New this year with Porcelain Patricians is the** Porcelain Mask**, used to represent the new team during trick-or-treating and acting as Fashion. We also introduce the Remnant of Elegance; equip it to your Potion Tray and transform into a dashing Skeleton with a porcelain mask.  Masquerade events and rewards will also be active!
