Portobello's Campaign

If Portobello's Campaign ended, will it reset the accredition points and dice rolls that are earned throughout the campaign? Or will it save my progress so that I can finish it up next year? I'm just wondering.

I've been operating under the assumption that progress would be saved, but confirmation would be nice. (If not saved, I basically just wasted an entire month of gaming.)

Other seasonal events have had achievements that span multiple years (celebrate summer festival 50 times, etc.), but never anything so in-depth.

It will save your progress. Also, you can continue to earn accreditation from the daily instance/contest/crafting. However, you won't be able to get any new crystal dice or blank report cards.

The event isn't active on the preview server, so you can test the post-event mechanics there.

That's assuming they don't have a way to hide the campaign interfaces though. We can't be sure how exactly the pieces fit together if showing the campaign isn't directly tied to the event but can still be independently disabled.

I would hope, and this may be a fruitless hope, that the event resurfaces around the PAX schedule. I would also hope that progress within the campaigns be carried over similar to how event crafting works. Let's hope they also don't trash all earned currencies as they have in the past for the Winter event.

Not only will your progress be saved so you can pick up where you left off next time the event is run, you will still be able to interact with the campaign window. For instance, if you got 400 accreditation just as the event was drawing to a close and forgot to actually complete the task Sub-Employee, you'll be able to do that after the event is over.

Crystal dice are temporary items that may disappear before the event is next run, as indicated on their tooltips, so I advise spending them before the vendors are gone. That being said, if you miss a day or two of Die Nation you won't be able to earn the crystal dice immediately after the event is over, but you will be able to spend them to advance the task. They won't disappear immediately.

Unfortunately the preview server is misleading about the behavior of the Heroic Feats of Heroism. The reason they are granting accreditation despite the event not being active on preview is due to the fact that separate, hidden, daily events are controlling the feats, while a larger overarching event that has been manually turned off on preview is controlling the campaign.

Although your progress will be saved, you won't be able to earn accreditation once the event is over. (At least until it next runs!)

This past Winter event, I was able to use currency from the previous one. I think they only reset things going from the first to the second Winter event.

@kwsapphire - I think you'll be please to see this

Will we be able to get the beholder mount from anywhere else once event is over? The droprate has been really really extremly low for this mount and it cost 12m AD in AH atm. Only a handful of drops during the last 3 weeks.

I dont wanna spend 12m AD today only to find out it will cost half that in zen store next week or so.

Please let us know what the deal is here.

I would like to know the answer to this as well (but replace beholder mount with legendary mount). that is: when will you be bringing a legendary mount to the zen store?

Thank God! I was ready to worry about it. I'll try to see if I still have any Crystal Dice left over.
