Kataclysmic Confrontation!
Someone or something has again summoned hordes of cursed black kats into the Clockworks. These shadowy beasts hunger for arcane power and have predictably stormed the Moorcroft Manor Archives' precious collection of magical grimoires in another attempt to execute their nefarious plans.

It appears that illiteracy is still rampant among the black kat hordes, so they have once more taken to eating the pilfered pages rather than using them for arcane rituals.

The residents of Moorcroft Manor would like you to retrieve the Ancient Pages of the magical grimoires that quite likely reside in the stomachs of black kats. We'll leave you to figure out just how to recover them...

Event Overview
Kataclysmic Confrontation is an event that will run for a limited time but will return again some time in the future. The goal of the event is to collect Ancient Page tokens for all-new kat gear in Moorcroft Manor. If you have participated in a previous Kataclysmic Confrontation and still have Ancient Page tokens, those are still valid. The event is available for knights rank 4-1 and up.

Ancient Page tokens can be acquired in two ways:
- Completing the daily Prestige Missions and receiving them as mission rewards
- Receiving them as drops from black kat monsters in missions or the Arcade

Black kats are monsters that focus on powerful curse attacks. They can randomly be found in place of any spookat-type monster in any Tier 2 and Tier 3 level level of the Clockworks (Missions and Arcade Gates). Black kats often, but no always, drop Ancient Page tokens (1 token in Tier 2, 3 tokens in Tier 3). Specifically, any 'guaranteed encounters' of black kats in a mission do not drop page tokens, though the mission guarantees them as rewards (once a day).

Ancient Page Tokens do not expire. Acquiring all the Kat gear will likely take multiple events.

*This event is scheduled to end on August 28th.*

Moorcroft Manor Additions
Moorcroft Manor is outfitted with the Moorcroft Archives, a special library of ancient grimoires. Unfortunately it has just been raided by an army of black kats and it's up to you to restore order! Along the way, keep an eye out for Ancient Page tokens in order to purchase unique equipment exclusive to the Kataclysmic Confrontation event.

Kat Gear
Exclusive gear can be acquired through participation in the event. This gear can be obtained from Montague in Moorcroft Manor and via the Moorcroft Alchemy Station. It includes:
- Kat Claw Hood (3* helm)
- Kat Claw Mask (4* helm)
- Kat Claw Cowl (5* helm)
- Kat Eye Hood (3* helm)
- Kat Eye Mask (4* helm)
- Kat Eye Cowl (5* helm)
- Kat Hiss Hood (3* helm)
- Kat Hiss Mask (4* helm)
- Kat Hiss Cowl (5* helm)
- Kat Tribe Fetish (4* material)

Remember, the only way to claim this new gear is by hunting down black kats and collecting those Ancient Page tokens. So equip yourself with curse-resistant gear and get hunting!

Moorcroft Prize Box
After another surprise black kat attack, the ghostly occupants of Moorcroft Manor are exploring ways to fund a restoration effort for their damaged Archives. The denizens of Moorcroft Manor have reached out to those in charge of the Haven Treasury in order to sell their spectral wares and eerie accoutrements directly to knights who are looking to give their Guild Halls a bit of otherworldly character!
