The Forbidden Rites Event League brings with it a haul of new cosmetic effects to help you stand out with searing flames or call ancient Karui ancestors to aid you in your battles throughout Wraeclast, alongside a new Relic Stash Tab that helps you organise your stockpile of Trial of the Sekhemas Relics. Check them out below!

Phantasmal Elemental Spells

Not every flame burns orange. Drench your spells in searing phantasmal blue flames, the mark of a fire burning hotter and fiercer than any natural flame has a right to.

The Phantasmal Elemental Spells are available individually or as a complete bundle, with effects for Ember Fusillade, Fireball, Firestorm, Flame Wall, Flameblast, Incinerate, Living Bomb and Solar Orb.

Ancestral Elemental Spear Effects

Deep in the Karui Archipelago, Karui chieftains call upon the spirits of their ancestors to fight at their side. Channel that same ancestral power with the Ancestral Elemental Spear Skill Effects, wreathing your spear attacks in jade light and crackling ancestral lightning.

The bundle includes effects for Elemental Sundering, Explosive Spear, Spear of Solaris, Fangs of Frost, Glacial Lance, Primal Strikes, Thunderous Leap, Storm Lance and Lightning Spear.

Delirium Ice Archer Effects

Long bound beneath Kedge Bay, the trickster god Tangmazu still finds ways to let his fog creep into unsuspecting minds. Channel that same fractured, mirror-glass madness into your ranged arsenal with the Delirium Ice Archer Effects, transforming your attacks into volleys of glittering, shattering ice.

Should the Raven Trickster's whispers ever find you, at least you'll cut down your enemies in style.

The bundle includes effects for Freezing Salvo, Freezing Mark, Escape Shot, Ice-Tipped Arrows and Ice Shot.

Relic Stash Tab

Rounding out this release is the new Relic Stash Tab, giving your growing hoard of Trial of the Sekhemas Relics a proper home…
