Looks promising: another mission in South Africa — but, more importantly, the faction-specific missions are coming back.

The current Tribal Cache* is going away, so if you wanted that zebra mount you better hurry up. There’s going to be a special cache for players during the event, and after that they’re bringing back the Agarthan Cache. …And with that news comes a major collapse in the Secret World Legends commodities market. People who didn’t sell their Agarthan Caches earlier are going to take a bath on ’em. Continue reading Secret World Legends’ Anniversary event starts Wednesday.
