Spring into action this weekend and prepare for magic, mayhem, and MANY egg-cellent rewards! Our seasonal Grenwog and Earth Day holiday zones return, and we've added new quests and reward gear to the magicians in Dragonrune Hall! Log in, gear up and get ready to battle on!

This weekend, adventure through new and returning seasonal events:

Our Spring Fair returns with new + seasonal boss battles and rewards. See them all in the new /springhub map
/join Grenwog to battle the classic, deadly, egg-sucking Grenwog and Rabid Lupus
Head to /elixirgrenwog to take on this year's NEW boss during the Year of the Water Grenwog

New Spring Hub Town

We're making it even easier for you to find all our April holiday events this weekend. /join springhub and talk to Cabdury to see what's hop-pening!

The Battleon Egg Hunt returns

Every year, heroes hunt around Battleon for eggs and prizes, and battle the deadly, egg-sucking Grenwog as we celebrate the return of Spring! This weekend talk to Cabdury (the friendliest, most inedible bunny in town) to begin this year's Egg Hunt quests in Battleon.

Collect the eggs hidden around BattleOn and the rest of the town to unlock the Backpack of Eggs and the Vorpal Bunny pet!

After whetting your detection skills in BattleOn, TRUE eggsplorers can talk to Cabdury and decipher his clues to find the pink, green, blue, purple, or multicolored eggs hidden around the rest of Lore to unlock all-new rewards: the Steampunk Eggsplorer set!

Pink Eggs: Cape
Green Eggs: Helm
Blue Eggs: Weapon
Purple Eggs: Armor
Multicolored Eggs: Magical Shifting Grenwog Egg House

Once you've collected all those, why not try Cabdury's Treat Hunt to unlock the Evolved Berserker Bunny set? The merge items will drop from the bosses in Greenguard Forest. With an Armor, a Helm, a Spear, and a Long-sword, you'll have a bun-tiful amount of items to choose from! The Evolved Berserker Bunny Armor also requires the drop from the final Vorpal Bunny quest.

Battle the Grenwogs

The legendary Grenwog is one of the fiercest beasts on Lore. Every spring, it awakens with one thing on its mind -- FOOD. And its favorite snack is, of course, eggs! (And the heroes who try to steal them!)

Grenwog boss reward drops:

Classy Bunny armor set
Eggceptional Bunny armor set
Cyberpunk Grenwog pet
Evolved Berserker Bunny set
Berserker Bunny armor, helm, and longsword
Daisy on your back cape
Mayflower and Marshmallow Cheep pets
Fire Egg Staff, Carrotine Cutter, ChickenCow Club
And much more!

Each year, we update the art on the Grenwog to match a new theme. But since this year is the Year of the Water Rabbit in the Yokai Zodiac Calendar, we made an entirely new map and filled it FULL of AQW guest artist Ferozakh's sweet, sweet loot: 25 new drops + 26 merge shop items.

New This Year: the Elixir Grenwog

/join elixirgrenwog and talk to Yue Huang, the organizer of Yokai Isles' Year of the Rabbit Celebrations. Her magic caused a Grenwog to transform and it swam to a secret island to hide its immortality eggs. She needs the Hero's help to prevent the Elixir Grenwog from disturbing the natural balance of life and death.
