Gee. Thankx. You are so helpful, Without being the least bit condescending. /s
*This event sure as f- has changed. Now it's server-wide unlocks? Then *** are we posting all these threads?
Rabidfox is correct.
There are going to be 4 waves of "invasions". Each wave (so far) has consisted of 8 invasion spawn points located in 8 quests. Which quests and exactly where? That is up to us to figure out. It will be the same place on every server, but the kills are tracked separately on each server. Depleting all Illithids from all 8 spawn points/quests will unlock 1 of the new quests early to be played this week.
This is how it's been since Wednesday when this started. We didn't know all this info right away though and had to figure it out. Each wave consists of 8 NEW spawn points in new quests, and we do not know where they are until we find them.
These threads (this one and the exhaustion list one) is one of the ways we as a community have been discovering/gathering/sharing this information. And because each wave contains 8 new quests/spawn points that are unknown until they are discovered, they are still very useful. The "this server finished x first" is a nice little competition that means nothing but pride to help fuel the search and keep things interesting.
Spawn points are the same in every server.
Illithid kills are tracked separately by server.
Unlocking the new quests early is done by depleting all Illithids from those spawn points on a per server bases.
At the end of the event, the quests will be unlocked for all anyways, but doing them early is a perk.
Number of invasion points is only confirmed for the first 2 waves, which are done now. We are now on wave 3.
We do not know where all locations of the invasion spawn points are yet, but we are searching and sharing that information in many places, especially right here.
