The Filth has entered Agartha, threatening the World Tree itself. Shadows the size of planets gaze upon us and prepare their winged harbingers for invasion. Darkness is upon us; The Whispering Tide has arrived.
Following the latest events from the Main Story, the portal to Tokyo is overflowing with Filth, blocking access and heralding an unkindness of Birds of the Zero-Point Pathogen into Agartha. You, the agents of Gaia, are the only ones that can stem the tide.
THE EVENT
The Whispering Tide event begins August 1st and lasts through the 15th. During the event, you can claim daily Event Rewards in addition to your Daily Rewards. Event Rewards include Custodial Relics; these relics of the Third Age contain special rewards, but are locked by a mysterious force...
The large "Public Raid" Deep Agartha Portal in Agartha opens every hour, allowing you to join 40-person raids to defeat Birds of the Zero-Point Pathogen. Agartha empowers its agents during these encounters, allowing players of any level (as long as they’ve actually reached Jack Boone in the Story Mission) to join in and participate.
CUSTODIAL RELICS
Defeating a boss bestows you with the power of Agartha’s Custodians, allowing you to open a Custodial Relic and receive special cosmetic rewards. These rewards include special cosmetics, titles, and even a pet! Those of you from The Secret World may be familiar with these rewards.
Please note: You only need to open 10 Relics to get all the rewards, so it’s okay if you miss a day or two. Opening a Relic after collecting all the rewards grants extra Anima Shards.
The world is counting on you, agents! Once the Filth is pushed back, the portal to Tokyo can be cleansed and re-opened. Kaidan awaits...

ACCESSING YOUR ACCOUNT
Your current TSW account has already been linked to Secret World Legends.
In order to login into Secret World Legends for the first time, simply use your TSW game login details and you’re all set! If you played TSW on Steam, then you should be able to play by starting the game through the Steam application. That's it!
Please note:
To be eligible for the TSW Legacy Transfer, you must have had an valid TSW account in good standing in the past. New Secret World Legends accounts are NOT able to be linked to TSW accounts retro-actively.
If you have forgotten your TSW account details, you can recover them directly from The Secret World account page: register.thesecretworld.com
TSW LEGACY TRANSFER SYSTEM
For a limited time (until September 04, 2017), you can initiate a ONE-TIME copy of most of your current TSW vanity items and any membership over to your Secret World Legends account. Activating this also unlocks all of your weapon pages in Secret World Legends!
Once you log into your Secret World Legends account page, click the TSW Legacy Transfer button to begin the process. That’s it!
You get to choose exactly when your items and membership gets copied, but again, this is only available until some time in August (exact date TBD).
CLOTHING TRANSFERS
Almost every single article of clothing available in the dressing room of any character on your TSW account gets copied to your Secret World Legends account. The only clothing items that won’t copy over are Faction uniforms earned through Faction Ranks. Those can be re-earned through gameplay. Additionally, the “Memory” outfits that represent the CG Characters (Rose, Alex, etc.) do not copy and will not be obtainable in Secret World Legends.
All clothing that copies over is available in the dressing room of every character on your Secret World Legends account.
There are some important things to keep in mind:
Clothing items must be in a Dressing Room or physically equipped by a character in order to be copied. Unopened Clothing in your Inventory, unopened Item Store Claims, or unopened Delivered Items are not copied.
Clothing items are separate for female and male character models! To ensure that all clothing items can copy over from TSW, we recommend having at least one character of each gender model, with all potential items unlocked and collected in your Dressing Room.
This means that clothing items for male character models should be in the Dressing Room or equipped by a male character models. Clothing items for female character models should be in the Dressing Room or equipped by a female character model.
Example: If you have only one female character on your TSW account, but own a clothing set with both male and female costume parts, only the female model outfit will be transferred to Secret World Legends. If you want the male counterpart, make sure to claim this outfit on a male character in TSW before initiating the Transfer.
Faction items are separate items! If you own faction-exclusive items, you must have them in the dressing room or equipped by characters of the corresponding factions to have them copied.
Characters with items you want copied must be active (i.e., not deleted) at the time you initiate the Legacy Transfer.
OTHER ITEMS
Apart from clothing, here’s a rundown on how other cosmetic items work with the Legacy Transfer system:
All pets you currently own in your Pet Window copy over, with the exception of pets awarded from the Museum of the Occult, as well as the Guardians of Gaia “Shem” pets.
All Sprint Styles and Mounts you currently own in your Sprint Window copy over, with the exception of the Franken-Chopper. Current owners of the Franken-Chopper instead receive the new “Speed Demon” bike in Secret World Legends. The Franken-Chopper is now a reward from a mission obtained from Moose at Level 50.
All emotes not directly tied to inventory items (Nassir's dance, Sleuth's pipe, etc.) transfer. Emotes tied to items are available through other means.
Achievements you earned in TSW do not copy over, although any clothing rewards you earned for completing those achievements do copy over.
Titles are not a part of the Legacy Transfer system and do not copy over to Secret World Legends.
You may claim your TSW Vanity items by first reaching Agartha and then opening your Delivered Items window, and look for a button labelled "Claim TSW Vanity" at the bottom of this window.
