What is Catch Up in Caledonia?

When does the event start and end?

How does the event work?

• For the first 4 days of the event, newly created level 1 characters will be automatically zoned into the Caledonia battleground where they will vie for control against the enemy realms!
  • This will be the ONLY way to get inside the battleground zone. Once inside, characters can voluntarily leave but CANNOT return!
  • All monsters, center-keep guards, and siege weapons are removed for the event. The only way to progress is by defeating realm enemies in battle and completing the related quests.
  • Charm-pet classes will be able to create a pet to charm at their realm's portal keep.
• ​At 3 PM EST / 9 PM CET on Friday, March 10th, character starting locations will reset to their default zones and no new characters will be able to join the event. Everyone still inside Caledonia will be able to continue progressing for the remainder of the event's duration.
• Experience, bounty, and realm point bonuses will be granted to both free and subscribed accounts in the battleground to help them progress!
• Earn bounty points for completing quests and defeating enemy realm players and use them to purchase level-appropriate gear as you strive to 50 and then master and champion levels!
• All characters will begin and remain in the same Caledonia zone for the entirety of the event.
  • The following level caps will be in place for all characters in Caledonia and will increase as follows every 24 hours:
    • Day 1 (Monday): Level 19 maximum
    • Day 2 (Tuesday): Level 29 
    • Day 3 (Wednesday): Level 39 
    • Day 4 (Thursday) : Level 49
    • Days 5-7 (Fri-Mon): Level 50
  • Characters that reach the day's level cap will still be able to earn realm and bounty points.
• Characters that are 5 levels or more below the day's level cap will receive the Caledonia Boost buff.
  • This buff greatly increases the damage dealt and greatly reduces damage received from characters that do not have the buff (higher level characters)!
  • Characters with the Caledonia Boost buff active will also DOUBLE the XP and BP rewards for themselves and their group!
  • When the level cap reaches 49 the buff will be given out to characters 3 or more levels under the cap.
• Overwhelming Force system:
  • There is no overwhelming force enabled for this current event.

  • ​If you do not do this, you *will* experience issues when patching back to live.
    • To force the live client to fix these issues, you will need to delete the mft.myp in your game's directory and run the patcher again.

For those interested in testing on Pendragon, follow the character copy process here!

Update 13:45PM EDT / 19:45PM CET - Ywain & Gaheris servers are back online!

Note: there is currently a visual bug with the tournament skins which we are working on fixing and will be addressed later.

Update 5:45AM EDT/11:45AM CET: Servers are now offline for Patch 1.128 deployment.

All live servers will be coming down tomorrow, Tuesday June 13th, 2023 at 5:45AM EDT / 11:45AM CET for patch 1.128!

Please check out the patch notes below!

Due to the many forced class respecs in this patch, it is advised to back up your character tool bars prior to logging in after 1.128 goes live. You can find a video guide on how to do thathere.
