Stop and smell the roses in Trove this Spring — but bee-ware! Earlier this week, the voxel MMORPG launched two content updates: Its seasonal Spring STING (previously Spring Fling) celebration has returned, and with it, the evil shielded WASPIDERS! What’s more, everybody’s favorite caps-talking duck, Sir Dapper Duckington, Esq., is also back to help protect the friendly bees from dastardly waspiders.
The dapper duck waits patiently (but not quietly) in the event area of the hub, ready to equip the players with “Spring Flingers” — an expendable quest item — and set them on their path to save some bumbling bees scattered across three biomes: the Medieval Highlands, Permafrost, and Neon City.
From there, players will defeat menacing waspiders, fill beehives, and defeat some 1-star dungeons in order to obtain special season loot, including helms, mounts, allies, trophies, and the “Hive Mind” helmet! The bravest Trovians can venture into 3-star Bee dungeons of the Fae Wilds and Neon City biomes to defeat Waspider Alphas and earn their final reward: Bouncee the Bee, a brand-new ally. Not to mention that the Waspider Alpha dungeon chests also contain rare drops, such as another new ally, a new mount, and a new set of wings.
The Spring Sting event is abuzz with new content to explore!
Trials of Luxion
But that’s not all: PlayStation and Xbox players can now look forward to the challenging Trials of Luxion, which will test their mettle in a draconic gauntlet!
Mark your calendar for May 26, when The Trials of Luxion event will return to PC and debut on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 for the first time! The Trials of Luxion are only for the most powerful, confident Trovians. Players will need nerves as steeled as their blades because, in these trials, combat stats are suppressed, death is punished, and blocks are indestructible. However, those who are able to overcome this gauntlet will unlock the many rewards from the great dragon’s hoard.
To enter the Trials of Luxion, Trovians must craft “Luxion’s Pact” — found on Luxion’s Pact Register — and use it on the Trials of Luxion portal, present in Light’s Den. Crafting Luxion’s Pact requires an “Unfortunate Soul,” which can also be crafted at Luxion’s Pact Register.
Challenge hunters can find their way to Lord Primalux to really up the ante! Once Trovians complete the three quests Lord Primalux offers, they are given a choice: either quit while they’re ahead and leave with their spoils or progress through a more challenging version for even greater rewards. The cost of crafting an Unfortunate Soul increases with each one created, with the cost resetting each day during the event.
Players can also visit “Luxion’s Long Shots,” a gaming table where players can donate to Luxion’s Hoard of items for a chance at receiving Venturine, a valuable item used to unlock collectibles from Luxion’s hoard of legendary items. Sometimes, if players are lucky, they may even receive Venturine Stashes!
