Restless Spirit

Related in Automatic Events: How Automatic Events Work | Daily Bests | Restless Spirit

The Restless Spirit is a night event. A ghostly presence appears in one city and disturbs the townspeople until someone banishes it.

When it appears

• The banner is visible during the evening time window.
• Each evening, one random city is chosen (Illumara is excluded).
• You may receive a push notification when the event starts.

Where to find it

Open the Character screen while you are in a city. If the event is active, the Restless Spirit banner appears with a search button for your current city.

The spirit is only in one city. Searching elsewhere still costs an attempt, but you will not find it there.

How searching works

• Press Search in the city where you think the spirit hides.
• Each attempt has a short personal cooldown before you can search again.
• If you are in the correct city, you have a chance to banish the spirit.
• The Horseshoe improves your success chance.

If you succeed

The first player to banish the spirit ends the event for everyone that night and earns:

• 500 gold
• 500 XP
• A random skill boost (+2 Hunting, Smithing, or Animal Taming, if that skill is not already near the cap)

A system announcement celebrates the banishment, and you receive a private message about your reward.

If you fail or arrive late

• Wrong city: no spirit found, but your cooldown still applies.
• Right city, failed roll: you must wait and try again.
• Someone else already banished it: the event ends and the banner disappears.

Tips

• Travel quickly when evening begins if you want first pick of cities.
• Pair the Horseshoe with evening play for better odds.
• Once banished, the spirit cannot return until the next evening window.
