The Ostryx will be available this week for 300 Glory in the shop as well as in Event Chests, and will appear in Glory, Gem, and Guild chests in 3-4 weeks’ time.

**World Event: For The Birds**

There are 6 battles that players can encounter during the event: Wind Archer, Prince Azquila, Garuda, Taloca, Zilopochtli, and Faerie Gobmother. The first 5 battles are randomly chosen, but they all have an equal chance of appearing on the map.

The battle against the Faerie Gobmother is a rare battle that may appear on the map, but only 1 “Faerie Gobmother” battle will ever appear at a time.

_Scoring_  
You can find the following rewards for each of the different battles you may encounter.

- Wind Archer: 6 Feathers
- Prince Azquila: 9 Feathers
- Garuda: 12 Feathers
- Taloca: 12 Feathers
- Zilopochtli: 14 Feathers
- Faerie Gobmother: 30 Feathers

Each Feather is worth 5 points. As the battles against Wind Archer, Prince Azquila, Garuda, Taloca, and Zilopochtli get harder, they will increase the amount of Feathers given by 25%.

**Now Available in the Vault: The Magician**

The Magician will become available as a possible drop from both Vaults and Epic Vaults after weekly reset.
