If anybody missed it, there are three things going on:
1) a drachma scatter was done at midnight Eastern time last night.
2) a do it yourself solo quest was started at the same time.
Kill redcoats or subdue them and turn them in at George Washington at any Inn.
You get more for a subdue than you do for a kill.
3) Lastly, 5 custom epics have been created and released.
They have crystal drachma tokens on them.
Enjoy, and Happy Fourth!
