The Lightbearer/Spoiler

The Lightbearer event is an event occurring in November in which participants must keep basins lit. It was first introduced in 2009 but already tested in the tester server preceding the summer update of 2009 and again in the test server preceding the autumn patch of 2009.

The event consists of keeping 10 different Lightbringer's Basins burning for 96 hours.

Each player can use each of them only once within 5 days. The torch is used to keep the Lightbringer's Basins burning and vanishes in 24 hours, unless you log out or put the torch in your Depot although standing next to your locker will continue to decrease it's time. You may use a borrowed torch to light a location, extending its time for 2 hours.

When you use the torch on a basin, the time of the basin will reset, for example if it was 98/120 minutes, and you use it, you will reset it to 120/120 minutes, that way you can do all the basins and still keep them lit. Also you don't have to kill the respaws to make it count as if you lit the basin. This means everybody get to use the basins if they can, and if they do it, they won't affect the schedulers of the other organized players, but still you should colaborate with your fellow world partners.

After using your magical torch on the basins you have a chance to get 5 minutes of respawn. Creatures that respawn depends on what basin you are and they can come in packs from 1 to 5. The respawns increase in difficulty up to the 3rd or 4th respawn, and then decrease again. For the Plains of Havoc and Magician Quarter locations the spawned monsters are particularly difficult, and even high level players may want a 2nd player there to assist with killing them.

The event requires a lot of teamwork and organization, especially on servers with few people.

Bug
There was one bug affecting the players who first lit basins with an old or borrowed magical torch, and then proceeded to Lucius for a new torch. When you asked for a new torch, all of your basins became reset. CM Mirade confirmed this bug (post #28913423).

If you were affected, you have to contact the customer support about this issue, explain what happened and tell the names of your affected characters.

History
In 2009 Lightbearer event was a bit different. If you looking for old informations see Lightbearer/History.
