We’re going over everything important about the Superbloom world event coming in the Guardians of the Dream update.
The world event is up once every hour and takes about 15-20 mins to complete.
It is marked with a silver horn icon on the map and takes place in the middle of the Emerald Dream in the Amirdrassil camp.
The goal of the event is to follow and protect Sprucecrown (a giant ancient tree) who wanders around Amirdrassil. The actual icon does move on the map with him.
You want to do the event once a week for rewards. Obviously, you can complete it more times just for the rep, but you will gradually receive fewer rewards the more times you complete it.
When the event starts, you will see a Bloom bar at the top of your screen. It is very similar to the Time Rifts bar.
When Sprucecrown is walking around, completing objectives like killing creatures, pulling out weed and collecting items will grant Bloom. This is a group activity so all players participating in the event will increase your Bloom.
You get different rewards depending on how much Bloom you collect.
At 2,500 Bloom, you will receive the Sprouting Dreamtrove, which contains Flightstones, Dragon Isles Supplies, and Emerald Dewdrops, a new Patch 10.2 currency.
At 5,000 Bloom, you will get Budding Dreamtrove, which contains Flightstones, Dragon Isles Supplies, and a chance for Drakewatcher Manuscripts.
At 8,000, you will get a Blossoming Dreamtrove, which contains Flightstones, Dragon Isles Supplies, and a dreamseed.
You can plant dreamseeds in the Emerald Dreams for various rewards, including items, and even mounts!
The first phase starts at the center of Amirdrassil and lasts for about 60 seconds, you pick a dream fruit power (similar to Torghast Anima or Cobalt Assembly powers). The powers will help you during Superblooms and with increasing Renown, you will unlock more powers.
During The Dream Gathers, Sprucecrown will slowly wander to his first location. While this is happening, you want to do any objectives surrounding him.
When Sprucecrown reaches his first location, The Folly of Youth phase will begin. You have 5 minutes to fill the bar by AoEing enemies.
When you fill the bar, Invasive Species will start and Sprucecrown will move to his final location. When he’s on his way, you want to pull out weeds, collect quest items, and essentially kill everything attacking Sprucrcrown for the next 5 minutes.
After that, An Unruly Storm starts and you will have 3 minutes to fend off the Primalists’ attacks.
The final objective is to defeat Verlann Timbercrush, the main boss of the Superbloom event.
For the weekly quest, you must gain 50 Bloom and complete 1 Superbloom, which is super easy to do. When completed, you will receive a Cache of Overblooming Treasures, which contains a dreamseed, item level 447 Veteran gear, and a Dream Wardens Insignia, which grants 1K reputation with the new faction.
Once the Superbloom ends, another event will begin called Emerald Frenzy.
During the Emerald Frenzy, a random are in the Emerald Dream will become overpowered with life energies for a short time, causing the wildlife in the area to enter a frenzy.
Frenzied NPCs will be more powerful and drop more Emerald Dewdrops, depending on the bloom quality of the previous Superbloom.
