Kenorland: Grindatron
The popular Grindatron makes its return on Kenorland this month!
This world, accessible in Kenorland through the lobby, gives you the target of a different block or item to find every 4 hours. Find the item in the required quantity, return it to the enderchest located at spawn (0, 0), and you're done!

For the full details on how this works, see the guide on the challenges page. Anyone can enter at any time, there is no direct competition, each target you complete is worth one Merit Point!

All Horsemen Quests have also been updated. See the Horseman Points Guide for an indepth look at the quests, points, and how to cash them in!
Guilds
After a mad rush last month, where the titles of Grand Masters were claimed surprisingly quickly, we're back to the regular rotation of monthly targets in all four guilds!
New apprentices, you start in Laurasia's Guild in Central, then gather points to work your way up to Rodinia, Superia, then Gondwana. Everyone else, all four guildhalls are now available to you, should you have unlocked the access.
Once you have been granted the rank of Master, you can obtain Council Tokens from the Master Guilds in Gondwana. These can be traded for special rewards back at the Council Chamber, at the Creeper Citadel...
