It has been a very long time since you first set foot on Telara, 15 years to be exact! 
This of course, calls for a celebration! 
 
Carnival of the Ascended! 
 
Starting from March 1, 2026, dazzling decorations will cover all major cities on Telara, that only means that the Carnival of the Ascended has returned, the only thing missing is you, our beloved Ascended! 
 
Weekly Quest 
 
Talk to Dantwor Honey-Tongue in Tempest Bay to accept ther “Clen House at Carnival” weekly quest, which requires the completion of 50 Carnival mini-games, rewarding you with 2 Auroral Doubloons, which can be exchanged for rewards in the Carnival shop. 
 
Daily Quests 
 
Be sure to pay Frog Wrangling or Sijay Creg in your main city for additional quests to complete five Carnival Instant Adventures and even more rewards!

Dimension Contest: Party Time! 
 
It wouldn’t be a celebration without an appropriate Dimension Contest!

5. You are good to go! 
 
Are there any rules?
