The Night Revels

"Eternal Night has drawn its cloak of Delera's Graveyard. Attend The Night Revels... if you dare." Visit the Delera's Graveyard within House Jorasco to participate.

The Night Revels is a special event held in Delera's Graveyard during the Halloween season, first introduced in 2015 (Update 28 Patch 1). It is a replacement and newer incarnation of the Mabar Endless Night Festival. Old Mabar ingredients are not used for the Night Revels event and ingredients from each year's Night Revels expire before the next year's Festival.

Characters of any level can enter the graveyard instance to farm keys and chocolate, but the challenge-quests are restricted to characters of Level 7 and higher.

Delera's Graveyard
The Delera's Graveyard can be entered in three modes while the event is active:
 * Delera's Graveyard: classic public area
 * The Night Revels - Delera's Graveyard: 6-person challenge where you can get and s  (both )
 * The Night Revels - The Crypt: This is the location to use keys to enter other Night Revels challenges

Entering the Night Revels challenge instances requires the keys earned in the graveyard:
 * The graveyard challenge does not require a key to enter
 * Running the challenges earns the various Night Revels ingredients (as shown in the table below)
 * Ingredients can be turned in to Joe Candymaker for reward items

Tips
Running the The Night Revels - Delera's Graveyard challenge at more than 4 levels below character level results in no chocolate or keys dropping.


 * Drop statistics on farming data (2018)

Some of the following tips might be obsolete after 2018 changes:


 * You can increase the amount per drop for the Chocolate using from the DDO Store; otherwise, the amount is always 1.


 * If you destroy too many undead too many levels below your own level, you will get a warning from the Greater Powers, Mabar's Notice: If you persist, you'll be punished for your actions with Mabar's Interest, then with Mabar's Anger, then with death.

Challenges
The Night Revels challenges are played like quests, unlike House Cannith and Eveningstar challenges, and have no set time limit; characters can zerg through and finish within minutes or can go AFK in the instance and complete hours later.

Named mob kills within the instance have a chance to drop Chocolate.

Ingredient payouts
Completing star objectives (optional and compulsory) count towards the final score for the challenge: Completing a challenge awards plus one of the other ingredients: n.b. The Graveyard challenge only awards Chocolate (and Night Revels Keys) The quantity of ingredients awarded is equal to:
 * Each star objective completed rewards increasing points per star
 * 1 point for first star, 6 points for fifth star
 * Scores for 5 star completions at level vary from 15 to 17 points
 * Entering a challenge at a challenge level greater than character level increases the score by +10% per level, up to a maximum of +50% at character level +5
 * Maximum scores for 5 star completions (at level +5) vary from 23 to 26 points
 * Score x1 for shorter challenges
 * Payout of 15 ingredients at character level; Maximum payout of 23 ingredients at character level +5
 * Score x2 or score x3 for longer ones:
 * Payout of 34 ingredients at character level for 17 point challenges; Maximum payout of 54 ingredients at character level +5
 * Payout of 30/45 ingredients at character level for 15 point challenges; Maximum payout of 46/69 ingredients at character level +5

Item expiration
All ingredients (s, s, s, s and ), s, and Candies (from the rewards list below) state in their item description that they will expire and disappear near the end of the current year:
 * Players cannot carry over the items from this event to the next year and have to start over again
 * On expiration the item name is changed and it can no longer be used
 * Night Revels Keys become Rusted
 * Pieces of Darkest Chocolate become Melted
 * Black Apples become Putrid
 * Spooky Almonds become Rotten
 * Shadowy Caramels become Hardened
 * Pinches of Sinister Cinnamon become Flavorless
 * Bug: When placed in Shared Bank Crafting Storage, both current and expired items display the expired names
 * This does not mean the items have actually expired - current items will regain their regular names when withdrawn
 * e.g. A Spooky Almond appears to be Rotten Spooky Almond when placed in Crafting Storage, but becomes a regular Spooky Almond when taken out
 * n.b. This bug does not allow genuine expired ingredients from previous years to be changed into fresh ingredients
 * Store-purchased s do not expire
