It’s easter time in Aeturnum, which means all rabbits get Corrupted. Wait, what? Here’s a breakdown of New World’s Rabbit’s Revenge seasonal event.
Participating in Rabbit’s Revenge
Rabbit’s Revenge is a minor seasonal event in New World, which only asks you to go out and hunt Rabbits. They’ll be Corrupted Rabbits, and they replace every other Rabbit spawn in the game during the event.
Be careful, some of them are elites with the explosive attribute, making them explode on death.
This comes with some event-exclusive drops, in addition to what you’d get from skinning the rabbit itself after it is defeated.
The Rabbit’s Revenge Event will be active at the end of downtime on April 12, 2023. The Event will end on April 25, 2023, when it will be replaced by the new Springtide Bloom Event. This gives you just under 2 weeks to claim the rewards.
Rabbit’s Revenge Rewards
While this is a very simple event, you can get some useful things from participating. This includes Diamond Gypsum, Defiled Rabbit’s Foot, a Cosmetic Rabbit Mask, and a unique storage chest.
Diamond Gypsum
First, is Diamond Gypsum. Like any event, you’ll be able to earn a limited number of these per day. In this case, you will earn up to six from this event per day. These have a 66% chance as a drop from defeating the Corrupted Rabbits, and can take a number of them to collect all six every day.
This allows you to Craft two Gypsum Casts of your choice per day, giving you a couple of rolls at different pieces of gear, with a guaranteed chance to increase your Expertise.
You’ll be able to earn a total of 72 Diamond Gypsum or 24 Gypsum Casts over the duration of this event. If you’re extra diligent and can manage to get your drops quickly after their 18-hour drop reset, starting after you collect the first gypsum, you can potentially get up to an additional four sets of gypsum, giving you up to 32 Casts.
How to get Defiled Rabbit’s Foot
Next is the Defiled Rabbit’s Foot. This is a Luck-increasing consumable item that drops at an 80% chance. While it has a high drop rate, you’ll be limited to only receiving 5 of these per day.
Luck consumables unfortunately will not help you get the rare rewards, they will however help with any of your other luck needs. Whether it would be getting rare drops elsewhere or getting better materials while gathering.
This consumable increases your luck by up to 5% for 40 minutes upon use, scaling with player level. This effect doesn’t stack with other Luck items, so if you’re still holding on to Roasted Monstrous Turkey Dinners from the Turkey Terror Event, these are an okay substitute. However, these do not offer the same bonus as Constitution.
How to get the Corrupted Rabbit Mask
The Corrupted Rabbit Mask is a new cosmetic earnable from this event. You’ll only be able to get one Corrupted Rabbit Mask from this event, so be careful you don’t actually drop it!
This cosmetic only has a 0.5% chance of dropping, but also has a “pity” drop after defeating 200 Corrupted Rabbits. This means whether it’s by luck or dedication, you’ll be able to pick this up during the event.
It’s a nice cosmetic with the same pale white fur and red eyes of the Corrupted Rabbits. This lends itself decently to a variety of cosmetic attires.
How to get the Defiled Storage Chest of the Hare
The Defiled Storage Chest of the Hare is the final unique drop from this event. This is a larger Storage Chest which will increase the storage space in the town where it is used as a housing decoration. It’s among the best storage chests available in the game.
This has an extremely low drop rate of 0.25%, but much like the Corrupted Rabbit Mask has a “pity” drop after defeating 400 Corrupted Rabbits. So whether you get it by luck or by taking out rabbits, it’ll be hard to miss.
If you’re a newer player and haven’t invested much into housing or even just storage chest in general, this can be a huge upgrade for you. It offers an additional 1050 weight of storage which makes it better than even the highest tier of craftable storage chest.
Best Corrupted Rabbit Hunting Locations
Below we’ll talk about the most accessible area, as well as another area that is notable for other resources in the area around it. These other resources are notable as they are ingredients for the Roasted Rabbit with Seasoned Vegetable food Recipe, or the T5 Constitution food which is often used by many builds and PvPers.
It’s highly recommended to use Skinner’s Armor Set where possible, or at least the very least as much Skinning Luck as you can get. While it’s optional to skin them, it’s a great way to possibly make a bit of extra money while participating in the event.
This will increase your odds of receiving Sumptuous Rabbit while skinning the rabbits. This is a required ingredient for the Roasted Rabbit with Seasoned Vegetables Recipe.
Amrine Temple and Shattered Obelisk
The first area is one of our top choices for where to hunt Corrupted Rabbits is around the Amrine Temple and Shatter Obelisk Points of Interest. Amrine Temple is found just North of Windsward, along the border between Windsward and Everfall. Shattered Obelisk is in Southern Everfall, right along the same border.
Not only do these areas have plenty of rabbits, it’s also incredibly accessible to players of most levels, with enemies being around level 25. To top it off, these areas also have Squash, which is used in the recipe mentioned above.
Reekwater
Reekwater has a nice area on its southern end, near the Time’s Advantage Spirit Shrine, which is just outside of Fort Reekwater. There’s fewer Rabbits here, but other stuff that can be gotten alongside it.
This area is notable as alongside the small grouping of rabbits there, there are plenty of Herbs. Since it’s also in Reekwater, this means we can get Tarragon here as well. This is yet another ingredient for the Roasted Rabbit with Seasoned Vegetables recipe.
