Viking Event on Beta April 2 - 23, 2026

 

Embargo until "end of March" not a specific day.  Hold remaining until lifted.

We can finally talk about the controversial axe throwing event and there are some changes this year so pay attention.

Event currency is called "Fate Amulets"

• quests
• daily challenge
• incidents
• purchase with diamonds

Event store is "Fjord Market"

Like previous events there are two event store currencies.

• Muninn coins
• Geri Coins.

Geri Coins is the premium currency and what most people will be targeting on the wheel.  When you collect this from wheel you gain two grand prize progress.

Store automatically refreshes at reset and can be refreshed once per day for free with additional refreshes costing muninn coins.

Pay Fate Amulets to throw axes.  Each axe thrown grants two grand prize progress.

You are playing against your hood.  So you are competing for the good prizes on the wheel but remember not everyone sees value in what you see so they may refresh the wheel when you almost have what you want or they could just be griefing because they're bitter a-holes.  That variable is why people hate this mechanic.

There is a daily task mini-game that involves you using event currency (throwing axes) to complete mini-quests.  There are six a day.  Once you complete the first three the next three rewards are doubled.

That means you need to manage your event currency.  Your incentive is to complete all six tasks when you play the mini-game.  If you can't do that daily then you are better-off skipping a day and getting all six the next day than you are getting three completed daily.

We'll see how the balance works on Beta but in testing there was nowhere near enough currency to even do it every other day.

Only throw axes to complete those mini-quests.  Pay attention as some of those quests will ask to refresh and throw X axes and some will just say throw X axes.  Some of the quests will say claim X so be dam sure that the X they're looking for is still on the wheel.

You can throw 1, 3 or 5 axes at a time.  You get the best grand prize progress by throwing three axes at once.

• 1 axe gives 2 grand prize progress
• 3 axes gives 7 grand prize progress
• 5 axes gives 11 grand prize progress

If you refresh board it also throws an axe of whatever quantity is selected.

If you throw 5 axes and there are only 3 prizes remaining on the wheel then you'll get 2 on the next wheel with the automatic refresh.

Be careful.  In testing when I had a quest to throw 5 axes and there were only 4 on the wheel the quest did NOT complete as it acted as a refresh.  I do not know if that was intended or a bug that will be fixed.  Obviously if you're doing that quest just don't be cute with it and make sure there are enough prizes on the wheel.

Prizes on the wheel

• green border is a common prize and claimable four times each
• silver border is a rarer prize and has two claim
• gold border is the rare prize and only available once per wheel
