NOTE: Start date for this event has been delayed by one week. This will also impact the end date.


Greetings Adventurers,

The time has come for another run of this devilishly fun event! The armies of hell are looking for souls to join the ranks - while any soul is helpful, there is a desire to collect souls of a more battle-hardened variety. What better way to find these sounds then with a tournament that pits a worthy fighter against the denizens of hell?

That’s right adventurers - WELCOME TO THE HELL PIT! What is the hell pit you say? Well, the Hell Pit is an event where you must survive waves of enemies in arena style combat. If you survive you will be rewarded with a number of tokens based on the difficulty of the challenge.

The Hell Pit opens on Thursday, September 29 at 7:30am PT

The Hell Pit closes on Thursday, October 20 at 7:30am PT

Some factors to keep in mind:

• You can only succeed once a day.
• You can try as many times as you desire within each day until you succeed.
• Every 7 successes will increase the difficulty and payout leading into the final showdown with the pit champion.
  Event runs for 21 days. A minimum participation of 14 successes is needed to gain access to the participation rewards. Successes beyond 14 will yield tokens for additional rewards (See Rewards section for more information)
• Progress is tracked on account level – daily completion is limited to 1 per account.
• A minimum item level of 18,000 is required to enter.
• Players with item level above 60,000 will be scaled down.
• This is a solo event – you must NOT be in a party.
• Go to the in-game event UI to check progress/participation.

REWARDS

Of course a great event is nothing if the rewards are not desirable, and considering it is your soul on the line I think you will find these goodies incredibly appealing. Hell Pit rewards players for participating each time the event is active. The event store will contain three sections, each with items purchased with different tokens obtained based on participation amount: Token of Participation, Token of Challenge, and Token of Achievement.

For a detailed description of each store reward and the requirements, please check out the Appointment Event blog.

This event abounds with rewards worthy of one’s soul. Are you willing to take that chance?

Disclaimer: Participating in Hell Pit will not actually take your soul. Well we don’t think it will.

What are Appointment Events?

Appointment Events are 3-week events (21 days) that give currencies shared across all other Appointment Events. This currency is used in the event store. Certain rewards in these stores will require the player to play multiple Appointment Events in order to acquire the necessary amount of currency.

Permanent Appointment Event Vendor can be found in Protector’s Enclave.

How many Appointment Events are there currently in Neverwinter?

There are currently 3 implemented Appointment Events, with a fourth coming later this year.

• Hell Pit (original run date November 21, 2019)
• Harvester of Nightmares (original run date October 1, 2020)
• Siege of Neverwinter (original run date as Appointment Event November 11, 2021)
• Day of the Dungeon Master (upcoming run)

What are the shared currencies and stores?

Token of Participation – These tokens are awarded for each day’s success, up to 42, if all daily and bonus tasks are completed for each of the 21 days. Tokens of Participation are used in the Participation Store. NOTE: There are future plans for Rank 6 Enchanting Stones so they will remain available in the store.

Token of Challenge – These tokens are awarded to those who continue to fight beyond the 14-day minimum. Every success beyond 14 will result in a Token of Challenge that can be used in the Challenge Store.

Token of Achievement - Completing the 14-day minimum throughout the event duration will award ONE Token of Achievement that can be used in the Achievement Store. The top-tier rewards in this category will require the player to complete the minimum daily quests across several Appointment Events.

Additional Information

To participate in Appointment Events, players can check out the individual event blogs for level requirements. Events can be completed on any character that meets the minimum requirements but the daily quest can only be done once per account per day for each Appointment Event.

All Appointment Events have a buyout available in the Zen Market, available throughout the duration of each event. These buyouts are prorated – price and reward totals are based on the progress already made towards an event.
