The celebration begins Tuesday, July 20th at 12:00 pm EST and runs until Tuesday, August 3rd at 11:00 am EST.

WILD EERIE CREATURE SPAWNS IN MULTIPLAYER

For the duration of Summer Surge all wild creatures* on Official Servers will spawn as Eerie!

On Unofficial Servers, server owners will find the option to turn on Wild Eerie Spawns through their web interface during the event. Please note that this setting will be forced back off at the end of the event, after daily maintenance.

*Due to technical issues, the Unicorn and Electrophorus will not spawn as Eerie.

GIFT DROPS

Gift boxes will spawn around the Island in ALL game modes during the in-game hours of 6:00pm – 5:00am. Find these drops and harvest them for your chance at 70+ different items including Ancient Amber, Eery Element, Premium Items and a whole lot more!

RATES INCREASED

For the entirety of Summer Surge you can enjoy increased rates! For the next two weeks the following rates will be active on Official Servers: 2x Breeding, 2x Egg Hatching, 2x Maturation, 2x Imprinting, 2x Harvesting, 2x XP (4x Primal Pass), and 2x Fishing Loot. 

 

Unofficial Server owners are welcome to adjust their rates and join in on the fun.
