“In celebration of this year’s Jubilee, Lord Neverember seeks to refill his coffers after months of austerity by slashing trade tariffs to encourage visiting traders. As a result, traders from far and wide are making their way to the city to ply their wares. Of course, the Sword Coast is a dangerous place, and these traders need the help of brave adventurers to make it safely to Neverwinter. Blacklake, Ebon Downs, and Whispering Caverns are rumored to be pretty dangerous. Look for some to also attempt deliveries to your Stronghold if you’re in a guild.”
Expect the city decorated to the hilt, special quests, a secret zone, a scaling skirmish event, traveling merchants, and loot — lots of it, including a unicorn mount and some bits and bobs from jubilees past.
Curious about how the game plays here in 2017? Our own Eliot Lefebvre leaped into Neverwinter for the last month and has been chronicling his gameplay for our Choose My Adventure column, which should wrap up next week with his final thoughts on the game.
