Special event: Lunar New Year
Happy Lunar New Year!
Join the annual festivities in The Crown Pavilion to celebrate the Canthan New Year! This year's zodiac animal is the rat — making 2020 the year of wealth and surplus. Test your luck by purchasing Lucky Envelopes or Black Lion Chest Keys! Alternatively, light fireworks around the pavilion, play Dragon Bash or the new Celestial Challenge, show your prowess in the Firecracker Lighting adventure or participate in a race. Lastly, don't forget to honor rat by wearing the Lucky Rat Lantern backpack to celebrate in style!
