History notes: This was released shortly after the 2009-2010 Summer Nien Beast Event.
Instructions
When the event starts, report to a Keeper of the Tigers to see how you can help. These Keepers can be found near the Elder of every capital city, and at the western crossroad in Archosaur.
Remember to speak with the Keeper of the Tigers NPC twice.
You will receive a Celestial Tiger Directive the first time you speak with the NPC, which enables you to do the gem and report quests that are given by the Elders. Speak with the Keeper NPC a second time to accept the main Celestial Tigers quest. You will need to be on this quest in order to get any credit for the other related quests. Also, keep in mind that you'll only be able to do the support quests for 20 minutes, so don't delay if you intend to do them!
Support Quests
Report to the other cities - Ever since the tigers surfaced, everybody has been busy preparing for the upcoming battle. Currently, all of our messengers have their hands full with requests and are unable to leave the city. We'll need your assistance to let the other cities know of our current situation and that they too might be in danger. If you're interested, speak with an Elder. (240 contribution points + 1 Tigertail Incense)
Incense can be used for 10 contribution points, or 2 Incense can be exchanged to get a buff at the Censer that appears for the event. Incense only exists for 3 minutes.
Gem Quests - We have have reason to believe that certain gems are capable of warding off the tigers. Each city will require a different gem, so please speak with an Elder to see which gems are being collected.
City of Raging Tides = Common Topaz Shards
City of the Plume = Common Amethyst Shards
City of the Lost = Common Aquamarine Shards
Etherblade = Common Ruby Shards
| Amount | Time | Reward |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Shard | 1 Minute | 60 contribution + 1 Incense |
| 2 Shards | 3 Minutes | 120 contribution + 1 Incense |
| 3 Shards | 5 Minutes | 240 contribution + 1 Incense |
Tiger Minions and Celestial Tigers

| You must defeat these enemies. |
Phase 1: During this phase, the Tiger Minions have begun to invade the land. They have rallied together and are awaiting orders to attack, which makes this the perfect opportunity for a preemptive strike! It is up to you and the other brave souls to find and slay 4,999 of them. So why slay 4,999 instead of a nice even 5,000 you ask? Well... why not?

| Gain contribution by pulling these. |
There are four types of Tiger Minions, meant for different level players:
| Name & Link | Level | HP | Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tiger Minion·Delta | 30 | 10,000 | 10 |
| Tiger Minion·Charlie | 50 | 30,000 | 30 |
| Tiger Minion·Bravo | 80 | 50,000 | 80 |
| Tiger Minion·Alpha | 100 | 80,000 | 150 |
Click the above links to see the locations where they spawn.
For those of you who are committed to the non-violent way of life, you can also gain ??? contribution points each by collecting Tiger Soul Herbs during this phase (click that link to see where the herbs appear).
Phase 2: After the Tiger Minions have taken sufficient casualties, the Celestial Tigers themselves appear. One Heavenly Tiger and one Demonic Tiger appears near each non-Earthguard race's starting city (click those links to see their spawn locations). Don't take them lightly, for they are much more powerful than their minions (30 million HP each). (They don't spawn near the earthguard home city, Tellus City, because the event was created prior to the Genesis expansion, which added the earthguard classes and lands.)
You can also gain 120 contribution points each by collecting Tiger Spirit Herbs during this phase (different locations than the Tiger Soul Herbs, see link).
After the Celestial Tigers have been defeated, the event will end. It is at this point that some random number of contribution points will be distributed amongst the players.
The Spoils of War
There are 6 tiers of prizes per class, and prizes vary widely. As long as you hit 2,000 contribution points you will be eligible to receive, at minimum, the Paper Celestial Chest, which can contain Celestial Shards and Hyper EXP Stones, among other things...
The higher-tier prizes can contain various rare items, including but not limited to:
Celestial Shards - Can be turned in at any mailbox for great items.
Celestial Insignias - Similar to Celestial Shards, but they are more valuable and can be traded/sold to other players.
Demon/Sage Event Card - Can be redeemed that the PW Boutique Agent for 50 Event Points. These Event Points can be used in the Event Boutique, which can be accessed by clicking on the gem icon at the top right corner of the regular PWI Boutique (press O). The Event Boutique has a lot of great items available, including many fashions as well as Silver Guardian/Spirit Charms!
Some other possible prizes (some must be obtained from the Mailbox Exchange function using Celestial Shards/Insignias):
