Vana'Bout

"Vana'Bout is a large-scale Records of Eminence objective designed to be completed together by adventurers on all of the world servers. Over the course of the challenge period, each adventurer will receive "plaudits" based on the value of their contribution when completing the special Records of Eminence objective. The total number of plaudits earned by adventurers around the world will be tabulated and if it exceeds the target amount, the challenge shall be considered a success! There will be a special reward campaign added to the usual monthly campaigns as part of the event. In addition, personal rewards will be given to those adventurers who really make an effort during the event! The more plaudits you accumulate during the challenge period, the more rewards you can choose from!" Your plaudits will be reset each round and do not carry over to the next Vana'Bout installment.

Eligibility Requirements

In order to participate, players must satisfy the following:

• Complete the Records of Eminence Objective Stepping Into an Ambuscade in order to unlock access to Vana'Bout objectives.

Objectives

• A note on objectives: Progress towards RoE objectives is personal only. That is, a player will not receive credit for actions taken by other players, such as damage dealt, weapon skills used, or damage taken.
• As of the May 2024 Vana'Bout season, Daily objectives which are completed will roll over to new ones upon the normal daily reset. Objectives which are left incomplete will be rotated to the newest ones if left incomplete for a period of time. If you see an objective listed here but not in your Records of Eminence log, this is the reason why.
• There may currently be issues the text of certain objectives matching IDs for English players. For example, the "Deal 500+ Water Damage (VBD)" (for dealing over 500 water damage to foes in any Ambuscade) is currently bugged and is met by doing 500+ Lightning Damage instead.
