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.

Setting up

  • Planning an Impalong takes a lot of time and resources.
  • The Deeds are made to have access from water and land for easy travels.
  • The main building houses the Forges, Ovens, Kilns, Altars, and storage containers for resources and items.
  • Secured rooms providing bed(s) and storage, usually reserved ahead of time for proper permissions.
  • Materials are gathered and stored in the hundreds sometimes thousands in a warehouse to be used throughout the event.
  • Arenas and event areas are recommended for GMs to spawn creatures and have giveaways.
  • Docks, enchanted fields, and Campgrounds (for tents) are recommended for travelers.
  • Posting on the forums with a date, location, and a general idea of what will be happening at event.

The Event

Opening day, and how things work.

  • Volunteered players ranging from all skills are assigned their improving range and stations.
  • Players rename their items to their own name to be easily identified and then placed into the proper container to be improved.
  • Items are enchanted depending on the availability of priests.

Typical Games

Players make up games to be played and are sometimes given prizes based on winning or answering correctly.

  • You Got Fished
  • Each player equips a fish and starts to duel, when the fish hits a specified body part, they win.
  • Scavenger Hunt
  • Several clues are hidden around the area of the impalong and players have to follow them to get to the end.
  • Trivia
  • Players are asked random trivia and first person to correctly responds wins.
