ATTENTION KNIGHTS

Black kats are once again storming the Moorcroft Manor Archives and consuming the precious tomes within! We need all knights of rank 4-1 and greater to gear up and retrieve Ancient Pages from these nefarious creatures. The event will run through February 6th.

Accept the Kataclysmic Confrontation prestige mission and/or fight through kat levels in the Clockworks to find black kats. Then, visit Montague in Moorcroft Manor, or the Mysterious Alchemy Machine in Haven, with your collection of Ancient Pages, to craft some Kat related gear.

If you dare to perform a Dark Ritual and survive the encounter, you may find yourself in possession of a Black Kat Cowl or a Wicked Whisker which allow you to craft the following gear:

• Kat Claw cloak, mail, raiment
• Kat Hiss cloak, mail, raiment
• Kat Eye cloak, mail, raiment
• Black Kat cloak, mail, raiment, hood, mask

• Costume Shields: There will be items which are costume-only shields in the future. Like other costumes, they cannot be used as a shield by themselves.
