What is an Impalong
Impalongs are community events where many players gather to improve items, enchant weapons and tools, sermon, play games and have fun! Higher skilled players volunteer their time and skills to improve / enchant items for lower skilled players to aid them in their journey into this challenging world we all call home.
Players or Alliances host an event for other players to come by and get items improved, usually to at least 70ql. Players that have priests also gather to have sermon circles and enchant weapons and tools, usually near the improving area. Some Impalongs offer lodging for staff, players and alts.
