Chaotic Magic Returns With Neverwinter: Monoliths of Madness

Strange monoliths have begun appearing throughout Menzoberranzan, Northdark Reaches, Narbondellyn, and Dragonbone Vale. Their corrupting influence spreads madness among nearby creatures and blights the land, while cultists work tirelessly to raise even more. Join the Emerald Enclave in uncovering the source of these mysterious monuments and stopping their spread. This event is available starting at level 20. Cleanse Madness Altars by defeating the nightmares and cultists that defend them. Survive Heroic Encounters as magical anomalies unleash dangerous new hazards, from deadly meteor showers to virulent afflictions and other unpredictable threats. Rally against a powerful Nightmare that periodically emerges to spread madness across the region.

Combat Enchantment Updates

Players can now equip both Strike and Guard combat enchantments, similar to Neverwinter's original Weapon and Armor Enchantment system.

Wild Adventure Lockbox (Available now until November 17)

  • Mount: Star Angler (Mythic): Born in waters where even magic struggles to reach, the Star Angler stalks its prey in utter silence. Its pale lure promises hope, while its cavernous maw delivers only oblivion.
  • Companion: Encore the Virtuoso (Mythic): A silver-tongued kenku minstrel draped in bright silks and borrowed bravado. Encore wanders taverns and battlefields alike, weaving stolen songs, sharp wit, and dramatic flair into performances few forget, and many wish they could. Often performs covers.
