+ | A similar event was spearheaded by [[User:pallai|pallai]] and backed by [[Guild:Alharth Rebels|Alharth Rebels]] that was simply named Gourmand Event with the purpose of assisting new and old players level [[Gourmand]]. Before the main event began, various cheeses, prized high level foods, difficult to produce foods, or otherwise annoying to create foods were placed in raffles (essentially anything that could not be produced in vast quantities). After which, the main event began, with numerous boxes placed in a grid pattern next to Serbule Keep's garden, ranging from foods requiring no Gourmand to Gourmand Level 50+. From player donations, each box had at least 100 items of food, available for each character to obtain. | ||

− | + | ==== Tele-Tour ==== | |
− | === | + | The Tele-Tour is a variation of the previous Teleportation Chain events. The event was held on July 22, 2023 by [[Guild:Asheron's Legacy]]. They guided participants to all 38 teleportation pads in the game at the time of the event. |
− | + | {{Spoiler|Click to view full event details| | |
− | + | ;What is it? | |
+ | A tour of all 38 teleport pads in the game. This event will not include mushroom circles as those cannot be summoned for others to use. | ||
+ | ;Where is it? | ||
+ | It starts in Serbule Keep at the teleport pad by the north gate. From there, a visit to all the deadly, cold, wet, and beautiful teleport pads that can be summoned. | ||
+ | ;When does it happen? | ||
+ | Saturday, July 22nd after the poetry jam. Unless something comes up. This event will take a little less than 3 hours, including the break midway through. | ||
+ | ;Why is this happening? | ||
+ | If you think to yourself, “I need to be able to get around better, easier and faster” then this is the event for you. Even with a | ||
+ | teleportation skill at level 2, this event will advance it to at least level 20. | ||
+ | ;Who can go? | ||
+ | Any toon that would like at least level 20 teleportation skill, who meets the requirements, with the proper materials, and can take instructions from the portal summoners and security providers. | ||
− | == Unique | + | ;MATERIALS NEEDED: |
+ | *Bind Circle trained. | ||
+ | *Recall Circle trained. | ||
+ | *Amethyst, at least 16. | ||
+ | |||
+ | PEEPS, (scared, hungry, naked, young ones with low or no combat skills, mules loaded down and unable to even walk, basically anyone that wants to advance their teleportation skill) | ||
+ | Three salt to tie to the teleport pad in the Serbule keep north gate. If you’re already tied to this pad as your primary recall, you don’t need any salt. | ||
+ | Any toon planning to attend must have Recall circle trained as this is the only recipe we will be using. | ||
+ | Requirements for those simply running through the event, using the primary recall recipe only. Alternate bind/recall recipes are up to those players that have advanced skills, those materials won’t be listed here. | ||
+ | There will not be any boxes with materials for giveaways unless someone wishes to provide them. Please take responsibility for your own gaming and gather all the materials listed. If you’re unable to gather these materials on your own, you can petition your guild, invoke your beggar skills, find a sponsor, purchase them, or simply grind for them. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Any toon planning to attend must bring a minimum of 16 amethyst. Each time you use recall circle it has a 20% chance of using up the amethyst. If you’re feeling unlucky bring more amethyst. | ||
+ | No other requirements are needed from the peeps that will be running through this event. Indeed, you can be naked, starving, unable to run and with zero combat skills, as long as you meet the previously listed requirements, you’re welcome to come. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ;How does this happen? | ||
+ | The teleportation skill gives 200 bonus XP for each new tele pad you either tie to OR recall from. This event will utilize the recall from option. Starting in the Serbule keep, everyone will need to tie to the tele pad at the north gate using the bind circle recipe, this is the ONLY pad you will be tied to. This tele pad is Home Base. Approximately every 3 minutes there will be a summoned portal directly in front of Home Base to a different pad located somewhere out in the big world of Alharth. You will need to take the portal within 2 minutes as that is how long summoned portals last. Once at your new destination, you have about 1 minute to use the recipe recall circle, which will take you back to Home Base. If it’s your first-time teleporting from that pad, you’ll get your 200 bonus XP for using a new tele pad plus your regular XP from the recall circle recipe. If you miss a summoned portal, it will not be re-summoned as the cool down for summoned portals is 1 hour. | ||
+ | ;Some rules to teleport by | ||
+ | '''DO NOT LEAVE THE TELEPORT PAD YOU LAND ON.''' Once you take the summoned portal, several times you’ll land in areas that are very hostile, and the killers will not be clearing a large area, just the immediate area around the tele pad. Please wait for the ALL-CLEAR before entering the announced dangerous portals. If you explore and die, it’s on you. | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''DO NOT TIE TO ANY OF THE TELEPORT PADS YOU LAND ON.''' Tying to any pad other than Home Base will cause you to lose your ability to get back to Home Base. More advanced players may want to come along just to get a tie to a different tele pad, that’s up to each player, as summoned portals back to Serbule keep will not be provided. | ||
+ | |||
+ | When a summoned portal needs the killers to clear the area, a warning will be announced for killers to go first, then peeps, please wait for the ALL-CLEAR before taking these portals, so as to give the killers time to clear out the rabble. Hopefully, this process will take just a few seconds. If you jump in before the pad is cleared and die horribly, again it’s on you. | ||
+ | For cold areas, fires will be provided at the pad site. | ||
+ | For the underwater pad sites, when you take the summoned portal, immediately press your rise key, either “R” or whatever key you have designated for that use or the space bar. This action will allow you to rise to the surface quickly. You can then use the recall circle recipe from the surface, as long as you are directly over the teleport pad. | ||
+ | Some teleport pads are located in beautiful locations, please enjoy the view while remaining on the pad before returning to Home Base within the time allotted. | ||
+ | The last portal summoned will be Ratuk the Thinker in Kur. This NPC has teleportation skill recipes for sale with the proper amount of favor and cash. Please consult the Wiki for what you need for both favor and recipes as none of those items are listed here. | ||
+ | There are 38 teleport pads in the game, below is the list of portals as they will be summoned, Home Base in Serbule keep will be the only pad not summoned. If you don’t need a certain teleport pad, feel free to skip it in the list. Each portal will be summoned 1 minute after the previous portal has disappeared. An announcement of every upcoming portal will be made at 1 minute and again at 30 seconds before each portal is summoned along with all the warnings that go with it. | ||

It is said that there is a treasure of unspeakable wealth and power within the borders of Serbule. The clues of which are said to be plainly before us. It will take a person of great knowledge and perception to uncover those clues and follow them to the treasure. Will that adventurer search alone or with a chosen few? Will they share what the find or horde it all to themselves? It has long been rumoured that the finder of the treasure will become the next Duke of an upcoming region. Are these the ramblings of a random old timer or inside information from a higher power? I suppose only time will tell. | ||

+ | 2/21/16: Almost identical message to 2/20. '''REMOVED''': It has been long rumoured that the finder of the treasure will become the next Duke of an upcoming region. '''ADDED''': The signs are clear and in plain sight, yet even those with the best vision don't see them. | ||

+ | 1/21/17: Silvonis: Some new person probably has the book lol. If only there was a place where books were stores for everyone to read... I don't understand why it is so hard... if I heard right... there is a book somewhere that explains all that. The real treasure is in your heard and the hearts of your friends.

“All players are welcome to design and produce in-game events. To request administrative support or to be put on the login calendar, email events@projectgorgon.com.— A Volunteer Guide
Since Project Gorgon first became available to players, individuals and groups in the community have worked to create special events for others to enjoy. This page is not a comprehensive list. Information on events pre-planned by Developers can be found on the Seasonal Event page.
Repeating (and active) events
Poetry Jam
Soon after the Poetry Podium for Poetry Appreciation and Oratory was introduced to the game, players began to figure out the best options for taking advantage of the review system poetry offered. A weekly, weekend event was created, spearheaded by the user Matzur and several others. Eventually, Teloch and the Guild:Priests of Arisetsu took over the responsibility of running the events. Organization of the event was passed to Guild:Rowen Trading in August 2019.
- Flipside Poetry Jam
Sometimes, players organize a Flipside Poetry Jam for players in the eastern hemisphere. When held, this event takes place about 10 hours before the regularly scheduled Poetry Jam.
Povus-palooza
Organized by player ChompyNibblers, Povus-palooza is an event themed around clearing a Povus nightly invasion by throwing as many players at the problem as possible, while providing all participating players with as many buffs as possible. This event successfully resulted in the first successful full-clear of a Povus event.

Season's End
Seasons' End is a community event hosted by the guild Akhisa's Web. The event is usually held around an equinox or solstice. During the event, members of the guild plus a few volunteers set up "death stations" around the Fel-Dasculan Ruins in the Fae Realm. At each station, visitors drink a potion which puts them in PvP mode, then they are killed by the volunteer running that station. The volunteers use attacks on the visitors which grant specific types of death only obtainable through PVP combat.
