What bonuses are active during Dark Age of Camelot's 25th Anniversary?

Updated

Dark Age of Camelot's 25th Anniversary bonuses are live now and run until November 2nd, 2026. The bonuses differ by server: Ywain gets 100% bonus RPs from RvR kills plus 100% bonus XP in classic zones and dungeons, while Gaheris gets 100% bonus XP in classic zones and dungeons plus 100% bonus RP in the capital cities. Both servers also share crafting bonuses in capital cities and housing zones.

Anniversary bonuses by server

Ywain

  • 100% bonus to RPs gained from RvR kills
  • 100% bonus to normal XP gain in all classic zones and dungeons

Gaheris

  • 100% bonus to normal XP gain in all classic zones and dungeons
  • 100% bonus to normal RP gain in the capital cities

Capital cities (both servers)

  • 40% bonus to crafting speed
  • 20% bonus to crafting skill gain

Housing zones (both servers)

  • 20% bonus to crafting speed
  • 10% bonus to crafting skill gain

When do the bonuses end?

All 25th Anniversary bonuses are active until November 2nd, 2026. The announcement notes that more celebrations are planned throughout October, so the Herald is the place to watch for additions.

Related event timing

The anniversary bonuses overlap with the end of the Sigilbound event, and the closing dates differ by server:

Server Sigilbound event ends Notes
Ywain October 2nd, 2026 PvP on Ellan Vannin is disabled at the same time
Gaheris October 5th, 2026 Sigil Merchant stays in the relic towns for 1 week after event end so players can spend remaining Shattered Sigils

A new event follows the end of Sigilbound, so if you are still holding Shattered Sigils on Gaheris, spend them within that one-week window after October 5th.

What to prioritize

If you are chasing realm points, Ywain's RvR kill bonus is the direct route; on Gaheris, the RP bonus applies in the capital cities instead. For leveling or farming, both servers offer the same 100% XP bonus in classic zones and dungeons. Crafters on either server get the smaller but consistent speed and skill-gain bonuses in capital cities and housing zones, with the capital city values roughly double the housing zone values.
