“Something just isn’t right here. The library- it was just a place for books filled with knowledge! An archive of our history! Why would someone think to just burn it down and leave it in this desolate state?”
The Ezekiel Incursion has arrived on Massivecraft! Over the past few months, our Quest, Tech and Game departments have teamed up to create a new major questing adventure, the likes of which has never been seen before in MassiveCraft’s history.
This extended storyline will progress over the span of six weeks and take you to the deepest corners of our survival worlds in search of the truth behind these attacks, and work towards understanding the nature of the threat posed by this unexpected Ezekiel Incursion. Gather your friends and allies and prepare to venture into the wilderness in search of danger, where success will reap the most valuable rewards that MassiveCraft has to offer. Follow the thread to explore, investigate and push back against all elements of the Ezekiel Incursion. Left uncontested, this threat will wreak havoc and change the face of the survival worlds as we know it.
Chapter I: The Mystery of Book and Bone
“Th-They were twisted, scorched monsters I tell you! Stood seven feet tall, with gaping claws and the hollow face of a skull! I know what I saw!”
The library of Fort Presford has been attacked, torched and ruined beyond repair. Charred floorboards and desecrated scraps of books are all that remain. Citizens of Fort Presford line the main street, aghast that anyone would do such a thing to a place of such pure knowledge and history.
Within this dense crowd, the bright red jacket belonging to the Mayor of Fort Presford stands out. He sees you approach the back of the crowd and quickly beckons you over, saying that he has heard some useful information for you regarding the attack. (Talk to the Mayor to initiate the Ezekiel Incursion questline).
Chapter I of The Ezekiel Incursion will be released and available to play on the 27th December 2021.
Ezekiel Incursion Camp Encounters
“It appeared overnight, it did! Strange mechanical sounds and a bright glow from the forest outside our village. We went there in the morn’ and saw wretched creatures tearing up the earth!”
Chapter I of The Ezekiel Incursion introduces Ezekiel Camps into all of our survival worlds. These camps contain two different quests that are repeatable on an hourly and daily basis. Initially, there will be one Ezekiel Camp per survival world. Additional camps appear every week for the first four weeks of the incursion, with a final count of four per survival world.
On an hourly basis, defeat an Ezekiel boss-mob which drops 8 Ezekiel Incursion loot keys on death. Face the perilous threat of an Ezekiel alone to quickly bolster your key collection, or bring your allies along to share the burden and the prize. These incursion keys will be able to be exchanged at the end of the event for highly desirable and exclusive rewards.
On a daily basis, any player who helps defeat an Ezekiel boss-mob will uncover its underground lair. Solve the puzzle correctly to disable its base of operations and bring what you discover back to the Mayor of Fort Presford. You will be handsomely rewarded with another Ezekiel Incursion key.
Ezekiel Incursion Rewards
With great risk comes even greater reward. For players who confront the threat posed by the Ezekiel Incursion, a generous set of rewards await them. Exchange keys collected throughout the event for exclusive weapons, armour, potions and item rewards!
