The Heroes Reforged event began with the launch of Update 29 on the live servers. This was Monday, March 8, 2021 for PC/Mac, and Tuesday, March 16, 2021 for Xbox One and PlayStation4. It ran for two weeks, and allowed unlimited free respecs from Rededication Shrines for the following:
- Attributes (Health/Stamina/Magicka)
- Skills (and Morphs)
- Champion Points (from the Champion Point system menu)
When you first log in after Update 29 goes live, all Skills and Champion Points will be automatically reset. Though the changes to skills in Update 29 only affect the Champion System, this event allowed players to test builds and reset/respec as many characters as desired for free for two weeks.
This was not a full in-game event, as there were no event tickets distributed—just free re-specializations to allow for builds to be experimented with and tested at no cost.
RewardsEdit
Despite there being no rewards for activities, there will be a free pet offered in the Crown Store during this event: the Ambersheen Vale Fawn. You can find this free pet under the Pets category within the Crown Store, and it is available only during the event period for your platform.
