Do You Feel the Luck o' the Irish?
They're Baaaaacccckkkkk
That's right. Our favorite pesky leprechauns are here again!
Starting tonight and running through next Sunday evening (US Central (cujobear) time) our favorite little trouble makers will be on the hunt to steal your gold!
Mine gold (overworld and nether) to find special Leprechaun's Gold. But be careful, you may find yourself face to face with a leprechaun! If you can defeat them you may earn a shamrock! Other ores also have a slight chance to drop gold, luckily the drop rate is low enough the leprechauns won't bother you.
The Leprechauns have also taken to the skies! Be sure to sleep now and then (or not, if you are looking for more loot)
Other mobs (excluding creepers, which is odd since they are green after all) have gotten into the St Patrick's day spirit and have a chance to drop some collectibles.
Things to know:
Collectibles (the items mobs drop) can be traded in at spawn for currency
Armor and weapons taken from leprechauns will not be tradeable at spawn
There are 3 types of currency that can be used once the event traders arrive at spawn
Traders will arrive mid-late week (once padmins determine drop rates are correct and prices are set)
This will not be an easy fight. Leprechauns are small and slightly faster than usual! They are armed and pack a bit of a punch! Be prepared for an epic battle.
Happy St Patrick's Day! ~the padmins
