Events or "event quests" are short quests that have a chance to spawn at specific locations in the game. It is only by chance that a player may encounter these, either by interacting with a special object or NPC. Event quests will not persist after logging out, so they must be started and completed in the same game.
Some events provide achievements upon completion, while others are required for unlocking journals, dungeons, and NPCs.
