The Secrets of Alchemy
Sorcerer Apprentices undertake a long journey every year to close dangerous crevices and gain knowledge along the way. On this pilgrimage, they are mentored by Sorcerer Zaphiel. In their last adventure, all Sorcerers, no matter their rank, heard a strange voice in their heads that led them astray from the main group. Zaphiel found the location where the Sorcerers were heading and now, he is about to solve the other mystery: the source of the Voice!
Upon discovering the Forbidden Ruins, the voice inside Zaphiels head grows stronger until he reaches the eye of the storm, where all is quiet. In the middle of the ruins lays a metal figure unmoving. Interestingly he knows exactly how to fix it and, as if led by some unseen force, his hands begin to work. He, with the help of his Apprentices, rebuilds the Metal Golem piece by piece. As the Golems strength returns, it finally speaks directly to him, and with a clear voice it says: "Hello Zaphiel, I've been calling to you.."
Join Zaphiel and help him uncover the mystery of the Steam Golem.
Zaphiel is the Mentor that helped the Apprentice Sorcerers on their previous Pilgrimages. In this years Pilgrimage, he returns to help the newly appointed Pilgrims on their return journey. Join him once again on his Pilgrimage throughout the Event and, as always, grab some of the many prizes along the way!

Leagues
In this event, you will have the chance to participate in Leagues and win even more fantastic prizes!
Spending Sorcerers' Knowledge in the Beacons of Power not only allows you to progress on the map towards the Grand Prizes but also helps you to progress up through the Leagues.
There are five different Leagues you can reach by opening the Beacons of Power: Hobby, Iron, Bronze, Silver and Gold League. Each League is limited to a number of players with the required amount of points for that League. If a league is already full, you will move to the next League down but remember, the positions on the Leagues are recalculated every hour so do not give up hope and keep progressing on the event map to be able to progress in the Leagues also!
- Hobby - All Players
- Iron - Top 50%
- Bronze - Top 20%
- Silver - Top 5%
- Gold - Top 1%
For the Hobby League, you only need to start playing the event. As for the rest of the Leagues, you need to open Beacons of Power in order to progress through the Leagues. Each Beacon of Power has a different amount of points that will allow you to progress through the leagues and you can see how many points will be added to your progress directly on the Beacon of Power.
Each League has a minimum amount of points that need to be reached. The League requirements are based on the progress of all players playing the event and it is recalculated every hour, so you might notice some changes on the required points to achieve the next League.
If you hover your mouse over the Leagues icon in the event window, you will be able to see what is your rank and how much further you have to go until you reach the next League.
Leagues Prizes
In Leagues, there are even more fantastic prizes to be won such as Expiring Buildings, Event Buildings, Knowledge Points, Royal Restoration, and this time if you reach higher leagues, you will receive the Tome of Forbidden Wisdom which contains buildings of the Building Set from last years event - The Forbidden Ruins!
Each league has a set of awesome rewards, the higher the league the better the rewards! In order to receive the rewards of the league you desire, you must be in the top ranking of that League.
At the end of the event, you will see a reward window that displays your League position and the prizes you have won.
