Mischief, mayhem and pranks abound as the Bristlebane Day celebrations run amok for 2025. The event runs from March 28, 2025 through April 12, 2025 (with a few extra-special events available only on April 1.)

*Special Rules Servers - Due to expansion availability, Kael Drakkel, Varsoon and Zarrakon will be able to participate in the entire event other than "Mark of a Thief".

In addition to all the returning content from past years, one new recipe book, new buyables, a new collection, and two new quest rewards. Patchcraft snappers can also be found in the Sodden Archipelago during this event.

New Crafted

"Perfectly Serious Items to Craft XVI" joins us this year as our newest Bristlebane Day recipe book. As with the other recipe books for this event, it requires level 2 artisan to scribe, special Bristlebane event harvestables and tier 1 and tier 2 common harvestables. The special Bristlebane harvests come from Jester's gardens, which spawn in Commonlands, Antonica, Greater Faydark, Darklight Wood, Timorous Deep, and Frostfang Sea. The book is heirloom, costs 60s and 90c and contains recipes for the following items within it (pristine combines yield 2):

Brass Bowl of Hot Peppers	Cerulean Kaleidoscope Rug	Grand Prankster's Classic Throne
Halfling Armoire	Jar of Tuptan Bug Juice	Rivervale Armoire
Rivervale Trunk Stool	Spindly Turquoise Spadeleaf	Thicket Fir Trunk Stool
Turquoise Spadeleaf

Brilliant Patchcraft Leather appearance armor set (Includes two different leg slot items)

New Buyables

You will find a new NPC "Hilarity" in every home crafting society area selling new items, including the brand-new "Perfectly Serious Items to Craft XVI", while "Hijinks" will be near her selling all the returning buyable items. Most of these items will require the event-specific currency, Fool's Gold coins, while the new floor tile is sold for cash.

In addition to the recipe book mentioned above, the new buyable items on this merchant are:

Pieces of Prismatic Panache* 10 tokens	Prankster's Teal Skystrider Plushie 20 tokens	Rivervale Hare (fluff mount) 300 tokens
Rivervale Kitchen Oven 10 tokens	Royal Jokester Plushie 20 tokens	Shadow Marble Square 1g 20s
Timorous Parrot (fluff pet) 30 tokens	Whimsical Motley Fool Cap 5 tokens

*Item cannot be resized, and effect does not show in preview window.

New Quest Rewards

The "Mark of a Thief" quest, which is accessed via a giant tome in Antonica, Commonlands, Darklight Wood, Greater Faydark, Timorous Deep and Frostfang Sea has a new quest option of "Essence of Mischief", which is a multicolored weapon essence. The "Bristlebane Day Snack Snatcher: Enchanted Lands" race has a new enormous reward option of the appearance-only Barb's Pretty Pink Goggles.

New Collection

The Jumble of Frivolous Revelry collection, which will reward the Whirling Jumble of Revelry fluff pet, can be found by those who have completed the Prankster's Piece of the Pie Collection. It can be found in in Enchanted Lands (check around Lookout Stump and Seamist Plains Village as well as in the Snack Snatcher area), Sinking Sands (the beach and above at the airship area), the "Rescuing the Princess - A Bristlebane Tale" quest instance and the instance for "Gnary a Joke to Tell". It is a rather mischievous set of shinies indeed!

Continuing Achievement

The "Party Sign! Excellent!" achievement which was added this year has a Bristlebane Day component. Find markable items (painting of a bovoch beauty, tower of betting tiles, Grand Prankster's banner) in various Bristlebane Day event locations and mark one to update the achievement and get one step closer to the achievement reward of recipes for event-themed borderless glass tiles.

April 1 Hijinks

April 1 is considered the high feast day, or "Highest of Silly Days" during the Bristlebane celebrations. Because of this there are special quests that are available only on April 1, 2025. Jester's Superior Gardens will appear in Enchanted Lands on this day carrying all the harvestable items from holiday events (Frostfell, etc., etc.) Upgraded pack ponies will also explode with loot on this day, making it a good idea to be near your harvest depot when you "burp" your pony of holiday harvests on this day. You can also chase down rabbits in many zones for the Fur Finder achievement line only on this day each year.

New Old Vendors Appear

Heartgar MacInnes, the Erollisi Day love loot trader reappears on April 1 in Qeynos Harbor and East Freeport so you can trade your miscellaneous love notes and hard candies into barbarian love notes. Grabby Gigglegibber, the Nights of the Dead Treat Trader, is available on this day in Qeynos and Freeport to help organize loot obtained from Jester's superior gardens.
