Update 0.10.4 arrives in World of Warships and it launches a new limited-time event “Battle of Beasts,” the event inspired by German folklore. Players get the chance to join one of four teams to complete missions to earn new rewards. The event starts May 20 and ends June 16.
Here are the rules for Battle of Beasts:
- The event is divided into four stages, with each stage running for one week.
- Before starting each stage, players can choose one of four teams:
- Welthund
- A huge black dog with a sole big eye on its forehead.
- Feuerputz
- A demon that can take various guises.
- Most often, it appears as a flaming skeleton or horseman.
- Glühschwanz
- A night ghost in the guise of a dragon.
- Lindwurm
- A wingless creature with a dragon's head and a serpentine body.
- Welthund
- Event participants are given special missions throughout each day.
- Completing the missions help players progress through personal and team milestones.
- The missions can be completed playing Tier V–X ships in Random, Co-op, and Ranked Battles.
- Progress is reset to zero at the beginning of each next stage.
- All players who have reached Access Level 8 can participate in the event.
- Players earn rewards by reaching specific personal and team progress milestones.
So what are the rewards? These include flags, themed patches, and 10-skill-point Commanders. Players also earn a new temporary resource known as Beast Tokens. These can then be exchanged for different in-game items in the Armory.
Players can use the Beast Tokens as well to get Battle of Jutland and German Destroyers containers. Each Battle of Jutland container can drop III König Albert or V Agincourt, the “To Honor Skagerrak,” and Jutland Veteran permanent camouflages for these ships, among other rewards. German Destroyers containers drop signals, expendable camouflages, and elements of the eponymous collection.
Auction Time
There’s an Auction happening where players can get other in-game items. The general rules of the Auction are:
- Each auction has a limited duration.
- It comprises these stages:
- The available lot for the auction is announced.
- Its starting price and the number of possible bid winners are announced at the same time.
- The auction begins and bids are placed.
- Bidding ends:
- The results of the auction are summed up.
- The auction winners receive their rewards, while unsuccessful auction participants receive their bids back.
- Players can change their bid amount at any time, provided that bidding for that lot is still active.
- The number of lots is limited with the highest bids winning.
- Information is provided about the starting bid for each lot and the number of possible winners.
- Depending on the lot, players can place various in-game resources as they bid.
- After the results are calculated, the highest bids win:
- If the bids are tied, the bids that were made the earliest win.
- The time when the last bid change was made is also taken into account.
