Mitterfruhl

Mitterfruhl

When the warmth of Spring arrives, Mitterfruhl celebrations are never far!

Mitterfruhl is an Easter-timed event that takes place in Return of Reckoning.

Spring is in the air, and with the celebrations of Mitterfruhl, brave warriors scour the lands for the perfect griffon egg to offer to the gods. Only the largest and most beautifully painted eggs will serve to gain Sigmar's favor. Worshippers of Taal & Rhya sacrifice spring lambs for the promise of a bumper harvest in Autumn.

Mitterfruhl marks the start of the spring season. Daring warriors search across the lands for the largest griffon eggs, which they will attempt to paint beautifully to offer to their chosen gods. Join your realm in securing griffon eggs and earning the favor of your gods, so that it may last you throughout the summer! Let the egg hunt begin!

Similar to the Eastern Wyvern event in base design, Mitterfruhl replaces Wyverns with Griffons, introducing special limited-time Griffon mounts, Egg Trophies, and more!

Hunt and Collect Eggs!

Find Griffon eggs located throughout the world, and interact with them to gain an item.

The entire world of Warhammer Online, primarily in the PVE and open world areas, is filled with Griffon Eggs to hunt and find! The RvR lake has some, but far fewer than the rest of the world, to help reduce chat spam while in the lakes.

• When you enter an area, center-screen and chat messages will appear to alert you with many eggs are nearby. These messages only appear if an egg is active and can be picked up.

• When you find an egg, click it to kneel down and interact with it for a few seconds. After you finish, the egg cracks and goes into your inventory!

Next, when you're ready, right click the Egg in your inventory to open it and see what item you get. The items which can be found from Griffon Eggs include:

• Dyes (common, rare, and very rare specular)
• Healing Potions
• Action Point Potions
• Griffon Mount Egg (Semi-rare, 6 versions)
• Regenerating Firework Launcher (Less than 1% chance)
• Bottomless Bowl of Custard (Less than 1% chance)
• Aviator Goggles (Less than 1% chance)
• Permanent RoR Aegis (Less than 1% chance)

Most of what you'll pick up when opening eggs will be dyes, so make sure to either have lots of inventory space open or simply leave your eggs stacked to open later when you're near a bank to store them.

There are also a few jackpot items, listed above, which have extremely low (less than 1%) drop rates. If you get one of these, congratulations - you're very lucky!

Beware the Griffon Matriarch!

If a Matriarch appears, watch out! She'll violently protect her eggs, and will prevent breaking any nearby eggs while alive.

There is a small chance that a Matriarch will appear when you first interact with an Egg.

• If the Matriarch arrives, that egg and any others nearby cannot be interacted with while the Matriarch has arrived to protect them.
• This boss is somewhat challenging to solo for most players, but for groups of players hunting together should be possible to kill.
• The chance of a Matriarch appearing is rolled per interact on an egg, so a party of six players together would trigger 6 possible chances for it to spawn as each player clicks.

Because of this, it's generally best to avoid hunting eggs in very large groups, unless you have the patience to handle some Matriarchs each time. It is still possible, though, for a full warband or more of players to coordinate and click an egg at the same time to all get an Egg item from it.

• Tip: Once a Matriarch spawns, it will vanish within approximately 15 Minutes. Sometimes it's best to simply move on and return later once the Matriarch has departed.

Exclusive Griffon Mounts

Trade in special Griffon Eggs to gain a new 30-day Griffon Mount.

When opening an Egg, there is a chance you may discover a colored Griffon Mount Egg instead of dyes or other items.

These can be traded in for one of five special Griffon Mounts, which can only be earned during Mitterfruhl. Those are:

• Sunrise Wild Griffon
• Frostwing Wild Griffon
• Moonheart Wild Griffon
• Fiery Dawn Wild Griffon
• Waverider Wild Griffon

Players can also earn a normal "Common" Griffon, which is not colored, but has a slightly larger size.

Upgrading Your Griffon

By earning the Griffon Training Whistle from the event's Elite Rewards, it is possible to gain a special Griffon mount that lasts for longer than 30 days.

Depending on your renown, these will last longer, and exist for:

Complete the Event to earn a Training Whistle, which will allow you to keep a Griffon for up to 120 days if your Renown is high enough.

• Level 16 (0 renown) + Whistle: 45 Days
• 50 Renown + Whistle: 60 Days
• 80 Renown + Whistle: 90 Days
• 85 Renown + Whistle: 120 Days

To earn these, speak to the vendor in the Event Area and trade them the whistle + the colored Egg of the Griffon you would like.

You can only get a single Training Whistle per character from the event, so make sure to choose your favorite color before exchanging it for an upgraded Griffon!

Egg Trophies

Trade in Painted Eggs at the altar in your Event Area to gain event progress, and donate more to earn special Painted Egg Trophies.

There are over 30 unique Egg Trophies which can be earned exclusively during Mitterfruhl.

Some of these can be purchased with a tradeable currency, allowing players to sell the currency for an egg to other players who might want it. Others are bound-to-account, allowing a player to mail it to another character of the same faction on their account.

These Egg Trophies are broken up into two groups:

• Eggschange Eggs, with more solid colors
• Painted Eggs, which have themed designs

Eggschange Eggs are earned for achieving specific milestones when hunting Eggs, or for achieving the second reward tier of the Live Event. The currency for these is always bound to your account, and cannot be traded to other players. (You can mail the currency to other characters of the same faction if you want the egg trophies on those.)

Painted Eggs are faction-specific, and are earned by first finding one of the Eggs used to exchange for a Griffon Mount (above) then using one of the new Live Event dyes to exchange for a Paint Bowl at the vendor in the event area. Next, combine both the Paint Bowl and the Mount Egg to gain a "Painted Egg" item, and donate this at the event area's Altar to gain event credit.

The more Painted Eggs you donate, the more Divine Egg Painting currency items you'll earn. Each of these can be traded for a specially designed Painted Egg Trophy, and this currency can be traded or sold to other players, either as a gift or in exchange for gold or items. Each Divine Egg Painting can only be earned once per character.

The unlock amounts are:

Interact with the Golden Griffon in the RvR lakes to gain boosts to Renown, XP, and Influence.

• 2 Donations: Divine Egg Painting Vol. I
• 4 Donations: Divine Egg Painting Vol. II
• 6 Donations: Divine Egg Painting Vol. III
• 8 Donations: Divine Egg Painting Vol. IV
• 10 Donations: Divine Egg Painting Vol. V
• 15 Donations: Divine Egg Painting Vol. VI
• 20 Donations: Divine Egg Painting Vol. VII
• 25 Donations: Divine Egg Painting Vol. VIII

Golden Griffon

Active RvR lakes will randomly spawn a Golden Griffon, which will grant buffs to those who find it.

Keep your eyes out for a Gold Griffon relic and claim its fame for yourself! Being among the first players to interact with it will grant a buff for 6 hours which gives:

• +25% renown
• +25% XP Gain
• +25% Influence boost

After six players have interacted with a Golden Griffon, or after six minutes have passed, it will vanish and re-appear somewhere else in the active RvR lake.
