Live Event: Pie Week
Pie Week has come! Toll the bells and throw open the city gates! Caravans of halfling bakers and traders ride into cities to sell their wares and earn a good coin off the hungry stomachs of the Old World. Esmeralda blesses all on this special celebration in her honor. The custom, which originated in the town of Saurapfel in the Moot, has quickly spread across human settlements in the Old World, but particularly in the Empire. Loosen those belt buckles, because Pie Week is all about eating your fill of all manner of pies and washing it down with tasty beer, Esmeralda wouldn't want it any other way!
The Autumn harvest is in full swing in the Old World. Farmers reap the bounties of the earth, as hard work and toil turns into food to feed empires and kingdoms. No where is the Autumn harvest celebrated with greater joy than the Moot. Halflings mark the Autumn Equinox with the celebration known as Pie Week, a celebration of thanks to their goddess of the hearth and home – Esmeralda. Halflings across the Old World use this opportunity to flock to human settlements and earn a quick coin feeding hungry mouths with delicious pies. Of course it wouldn't be a proper Pie Week without some silly games and baking contests, so join in the festive fun while the ovens are hot!
Pie Week will start on August 14th and last until August 28th.

Pie Week Pies, Picnic Baskets, and Moot Silver Shillings
What would Pie Week be without pies or a picnic basket full of food? Certainly not a proper Pie Week. During Pie Week you can bake pies (i.e. 1-hour liniments) by gathering food from Picnic Baskets, which drop from players. Get the right combination of ingredients and head to the Pie Week baker merchants in Altdorf or the Inevitable City to buy an oven. Buying an oven will start the baking process (you didn't expect to turn ingredients into a pie instantly with a click did you?), which will say 'decaying in 10min' because changing the text to say 'baking' is complicated. After 10 minutes your express pie will be done and ready for your consumption! However, why bake one pie with one fish and one potato when you can bake 2, 3, or 5? Players will also drop Moot Silver Shillings, and you can buy multipliers with your Moot Silver Shillings to bake more than one pie with your ingredients.
Taking into account player feedback from previous events, this year we've added Tarts for players who are below level 40. Players can convert their food ingredients with a vendor located near the pigs into "Bits 'n Scraps", which can then be baked into Tarts. Tarts have weaker buffs, but allow players below level 40 to complete event tasks.
Dyes
20 dyes themed around the Halflings/Moot are available during Pie Week.
Dye previews are available here towards the bottom, but please be aware that the colors may apply differently on different base armor colors. We recommend to use an addon such as Pocket Palette to see how this dye will look on your armor. These colors were drawn largely from Citadel Paints, Games Workshop publications, and maybe food… We hope to continue to introduce new dyes based on inspiration from the source material in the Live Events to come.
Live Event Shoppe
Multiple Pie Week themed vendors have popped up in the Altdorf War Quarters and Inevitable City Slaanesh Chambers (oh those poor lost halflings who stumbled into the Inevitable City… or is it the Slaanesh cultists who are the poor ones?). Four vendors sell pies for ingredients; one sells pies at a basic ratio of 2 ingredients for 1 pie, while the other three sell the same pies but with output multipliers so a single pair of ingredients combined with a multiplier can yield 2, 3, or 5 pies. Please check all four bakers and check what you want to spend your event resources on. Other vendors sell items for the LE currency 'Moot Silver Shillings' (which drop from player-kills), such as beer.
Pie Week Quests
A couple custom quests are available during Pie Week. Six of these called 'Quest for A Pie' use our new race-specific portion of the quest system – meaning that each race has different tasks catered to their racial peculiarities. We hope to use this system more in the future, especially during live events so each race has a more unique take on the festivities. There are also two new branching quests for an event slot item – 'Applebottom's Pie' (Order) or 'Protector's Fee' (Destro); one branch focuses on PvP tasks from T1 to T4, while the other is PvE oriented. These branching quests are not required to complete the LE.
2026 Updates/Changes
- A Portal has been added near the Altdorf/IC Flight Master to take players closer to the Live Event Area
- The price of Cheery Wood has decreased from 10 to 9 Moot Silver Shillings
- The Live Event tasks have been rebuilt, removing the requirements for Scenario participation/wins, and replacing them with other tasks.
- Achievements have been added for baking pies, allowing players to earn titles, a rolling pin trophy, picnic blanket cape, and coveted chef's hat. After players earn their achievement unlocks, they can purchase these items at the cosmetic vendor in the southern part of Altdorf/the IC.
PVE
Quality of Life
- Thanks to a player suggestion, two portals have been added to every starting zone.
- New characters will find these portals available shortly after being zoned in following character creation.
- The portals lead to the starting zones of the other classes within that character's realm.
- For example, Chaos players can now take a portal soon after creation to the Dark Elf starting zone, or to the Greenskins starting zone, and so on.
- This makes it easier for new or alt characters to explore and level alongside friends who chose a different starting class within the same realm.
Dungeon: Lost Vale
- A new Speed Run Quest has been added to the Lost Vale. As this quest has a challenging timer of 1 hour 15 minutes, it will award 2x Champion's Marks to successful parties. This quest can be started at either Jarlson the Blacksmith (Destruction) or Sammog the Smith (Order).
- New Quality-of-Life Teleport: We noticed many parties leaving group after clearing the first wing in order to more quickly begin the second wing. We've added a new teleport in Dralel's cave after defeating the boss that will fast travel players closer to the next wing, so they don't need to re-buff, re-guard, or wait through the loading screens.
- For those with fast load times, overall time to Wing 2 should be almost the same or slightly faster; those with slower PCs should be able to save even more time now!
- The Trophies for killing Dralel, Sarthain, Sechar, and N'Kari 75 times have been added to the tome unlock vendors.
Dungeon: Hunter's Vale
- A new repeatable Speed Run quest has been added to Hunter's Vale, which awards a Champion's Mark. Begin this quest inside the Dungeon at the Spirit of the Vale NPC on the left.
- Hunter's Vale Teleport Scrolls are now unlocked by guilds at Rank 30, and can be purchased from the quartermaster in each city's Guild Hall.
Dungeon: Mount Gunbad
- Blaz and Velkyrixx have been fixed so that Blaz' enrage will now properly vanish if the party wipes.
Dungeon: Bastion Stair
- Four New Cosmetic Capes have been added for achieving 100 kills on all four Wing Bosses: Thar'Ignan, Lord Slaurith, Kaarn the Vanquisher, and Skull Lord Var'Ithrok. These new capes can be viewed here on the Wiki.
- Kaarn the Vanquisher's Iron Skin buff, called "Armored", was previously only reducing his incoming damage by 25%, allowing players to move him off the platform. Khorne noticed some groups using this to avoid fighting the extra adds, and has now adjusted this buff to be called "Iron Skin", reducing all incoming damage by 90% if Kaarn leaves his dais.
- Skull Lord Var'Ithrok has more range for his punt now, and a new ability that he can cast if his current target is distant. Groups trying to tank him far from the fire circle are warned: Khorne does not appreciate cowardice in fights.
- Lord Slaurith is now wearing a fancy new cape. As noted above, defeating him 100 times will unlock this same cape for players.
- Fixed a spot where players could get stuck near the stairs in Lord Slaurith's room.
Scenario
War Emblem Currency
- A new Emblem currency has been introduced, earned through Scenario play.
- Emblems do not replace War Crests, they work alongside them to discount Scenario weapon costs.
