November Event Guide |

November Event News Post
Not only humans believe that ancestors are linked spiritually to the living. Some lions believe they can talk to the spirits of those who passed, becoming shamans. You can gain your Piety for the Ancestors by doing deeds for the lion shamans, and in return you will be granted with spiritual rewards!
Your Piety might unlock something special, so respect the spirits and they will provide.
Alongside, you can gather a lot of herbs in Explore you don't need for quests and visit the shamans to exchange those into Scarab Beetles, which you can trade for various things.
Welcome to the Whispering Ancestors event!
This event is highly focused on exploring.
Throughout November, you will find ancient, cracked fossils and herbs in Explore, along with some special quest-specific "trigger events"!
Will you assist the three Shamans with their daily quests?
The currency for this month is  Scarab Beetles!
Scarab Beetles can be found in Explore, and can be received from winning certain battles!
All biomes will have the Explore Encounters!
Biome, karma, and level do not matter for events.
This month, we are working to unlock three tiers in two different areas - the Shaman Shop and the Shaman Pit.
The "first tiers", both tier zeroes, are already unlocked.
The other three tiers will unlock special items in the Shaman Shop, and special actions in the Shaman Pit.

You can gain your Piety for the Ancestors by doing deeds for the lion shamans, and in return you will be granted spiritual rewards. You can complete three Shaman Quests per day. Choose your Shaman below wisely. Once you have completed your quest, you should bow to your shaman.
The three shamans are, in order, Shaman Aker, Sorcerer Sphinx, and Sangoma Tefnut.
Please note that it doesn't matter which shaman you choose--all rewards will be the same, either 2 or 3 Piety.
However, each shaman has their own unique quests, wherein they will ask you for a combination of herbs, rawhides, or to handle a "trigger event" in Explore.
Also note that not finishing a quest before rollover will NOT result in it counting as one of your quests for the next day. You can leave your quest active, and still be able to do your daily three the following day!
The "trigger event" is an encounter that you will come across in Explore. It has a different interaction and outcome when you have a quest for that encounter - so, the quest will "trigger" the proper event.
The shamans will all ask you to either give them herbs, rawhide, or complete a quest in Explore.
You can find herbs in Explore, or purchase them from the Beetle Training Grounds for 20 SB each.
In order to make rawhide, you have to have a carcass that is the size of a Goose Carcass or Human Leg, or bigger. Please note that the number of uses the carcass has does not matter; all rawhide crafted will count as one item.
A master of rituals and talking to good spirits.
