Are there three or four glorious coffers available from the four available dailies? On PTS the Quartermaster Nurwalne's quest also gave a golden coffer, but the article only mentions the other three quest givers and their loot tables. @ZOS_Kevin

We issued a correction for this in the article. It should be four, rather than three.

Thank you

Will the Writhing Fortress public dungeon/instance still be a thing that is available after the event ends? Or is this gone forever?

They said it will be available for 1 week after the final boss has been defeated by players for the first time.

Thanks @Syldras I think this might be the first time I pass a 'chapter' up then.

I think this is worth a direct targeted question to @ZOS_Kevin and the team, because I don't think it's clear.

If you read the article exactly as worded, it says "the third phase lasts one week from when the Writhing Fortress is first completed", which suggests that it's Phase 3, not necessarily the Writhing Fortress instance itself, which only lasts one week. Later on it also says "Those who see the war through till the very end can also earn the “Wall Breaker” title. To earn this reward, you must complete the Writhing Fortress during Phase 3 of the event." You could interpret this as saying that if you complete the Writhing Fortress at another time, not within Phase 3, you won't get the title, which would imply that the Writhing Fortress instance itself would still be available.

Dailies are one thing, but I also think it would be a bit odd for them to spend a lot of dev time on Public Instance content that only exists for a week. Don't forget that the Writhing Wall itself is also part of the zone story - for anyone who does Part 1 of the content at some point in the future, I think the wall will still be there. It's during the Zone Story Quest "Crossing the Wall", not any quests directly related to the event, that the wall itself is actually destroyed.

So the question for ZOS_Kevin and the team, to reiterate - will the Writhing Fortress instance still be playable after the end of the event? Thanks!

There is a ninja pulls video where he explains this stuff pretty well. The fortress will be there for 7 days. That's all. A waste in my opinion. I think it should be turned into an actual trial. Easy mode, which probably can be beaten by 4 people. Then a vet and hard mode. Why throw away all that work.

We've answered a few of the answers in the thread. We'll continue to monitor the thread and follow up with answers.

So im confused. Will dailies from the siege camps and other related quests persist beyond the event?

Yes. In the fourth paragraph from the bottom, it says rewards apart from the Wall Breaker title will be available from the camp daily quests after the event has ended.

I think it's only specifically the Siege Camp daily quests (which are this zone's version of World Events) that will continue to exist, so not Mirmal's Delve Dailies or the Dailies for Vitrified Souls etc. Would be good to get clarification on that though.

The Vitrified souls dailies are one quest offered by Orinde Glenuvon. They are not available after the event.

Would also like to know if the Writhing Fortress instance is specific to the event period, or if that will remain open as a Public Instance once the event is finished. Thanks!

Writhing Fortress is specific to the event period. It is gone once the event is over. For others noting disappointment that the event will not be available as a persistent public dungeon, we will pass that on to the team. The goal for this event is to make it apart of game history. Like "I was there for the Battle for the Writhing Wall". But totally understand the sentiment around wanting it accessible post event as repeatable content.

A few more questions:
1. Are these daily quests one daily quest per character or can you get can more quests from the same quest-giver?
2. Are there different quests per quest giver that can be shared between group members like a most of zone daily quests?
3. Can you even do the daily quests on multiple characters?

Looking forward to this unique event, but hopefully you can clear up some these questions.

You can do multiple from each quest giver per day.
Yes the quests are sharable
Yes, contribution is recorded per character

Thanks for the answers!

I definitely think the Writhing Fortress instance would work fine as standalone content, since on PTS it looks like you can access and complete it via the portal entrance without needing the associated event quest active. Thanks for taking that back to the team.

I have the pass. I will be playing live through the event. I just want to know, if a year from now, I create a new character and go through the Solstice Storyline, what will their experience look like?
