It'll be nice to be able to get some old items again that haven't been available for a while.
Not to hijack, but please consider doing the town invasions again. It would be nice to have a chance to get some of those spellbooks that are no longer attainable.
ToT has been turned on as of the state it was in during the last deployment, which was somewhere around Publish 33 (or perhaps even later, requires more research). We made no additional changes beyond that due to the extremely tight timeline for deployment.
These questions highlight why we couldn't "just" turn it on in the past. The reward items would have needed a large overhaul and hence why future iterations of Treasures of... events have relied on randomly geneerated magic equipment, rather than pre-defined "minor artifacts"
@Max_Blackoak - you could be right - as I mentioned this was really a last minute thing. I was going by what few comments were noted internally. We'll find out soon enough!
@monkgamer - this will be active when Pub 108 goes WW on Tuesday.
@Kyronix Will there be the chance of the luck mempo drops? If there is no chance of it, then I think most people will agree that this will be a big disappointment. Just sayin'!
If you sell UO items for R.L. $$$, you need to quit playing UO , and get a BETTER R.L. JOB!
So if its the last run we will get Mempos and if I remember correctly the set of 1 use minor pigments
Treasures of Tokuno III
From the depths of storm-tossed seas shrouded in an unending mist rises an event of epic proportions: the Treasures of Tokuno return!
Seek out the lost wealth of the Empire across verdant field, icy wasteland, and within the darkest recesses of dungeons most foul! This rare event yields the most extraordinary of rewards for those who dare step forward to heed the call.
Aiding the Empire of Tokuno
It is hereby declared by royal decree that the people of Britannia shall assist the Empire of Tokuno with the incursion of hostile beasts that once again have begun roaming their lands, stealing their wealth and spreading destruction.
The Treasures of Tokuno must be redeemed from these foul monsters by any means, be it blade or spell! Speak with Ihara Soko, the Imperial Minister of Trade in Zento, should you recover any lost artifacts of the Empire.

This will be fun. I was just thinking what will keep me adventuring once pub 108 goes live. I will absolutely take part in trying to get a luck Mempo (I never got one to drop in 2009). I’m also interested in the dyes, Tome of Lost Knowledge and Swords of Prosperity. I always found those two items useful.
I’ve heard some discussion that one item that can no longer be obtained are the spellbooks from the invasion content. Maybe that one item could be added as a major selection with random SDI from 30 to 50.
A few additional flutes of renewal to support the bards will be welcome too, and of course the pigments. Not everything always has to be about Uber equipment, but I'd be happy with a mempo or two!

Can you confirm this be part 3 of tot
Thank you
No, sorry. As I mentioned this was literally last minute and speaks to our previous statements regarding ToT. Whatever state the event was in is how it will be available when Pub 108 goes WW. In the past when folks have asked for a re-instatement of this event we would evaluate the fictional basis, update that narrative as necessary, evaluate the mechanics & PvM balance, update that as necessary, and evaluate the reward pool and update that as necessary. We decided to forgo those normal design considerations in lieu of giving something for players to do in the immediate term while we focus on our broader plans that we'd developed for this year. Despite some assertions to the contrary, all these factors are what has driven our response to the request to and why it is not as simple as "flipping a switch".
Thanks for giving us this to do while RL is a bit on halt or troublesome . You work from home and all..I wish the ppl that demand things or whine in general understand now this wasnt planned and just an extra gift in times we might need someting to occupie our minds with . They gave us something we have asked for and had no time to spend on redesigning and adding stuff, Be grateful for once..
is there is no mempo no one will do this event... and people will come here to yell again. they should put a 50 turns in reward like a chance between 30-50 sdi spellbook with the cost of 50 Tokuno drops
I'm not sure, until it's actually live and we can see, but I think the mempo may drop. It was part of the ToT season 3, as you can see if you follow the link I posted earlier.

The third event introduced Leurocian's Mempo of Fortune and new coloured Pigments, while reducing the uses of all Pigments dropped (including the original Lesser) to one and removing the previously available coloured dyes (Metal and Neon).

*fingers crossed for the "right" publish*
