  • Lokea said: It would be great if the event lasted a bit longer.  It's been a blast, even with reduced drops and no obelisk in sight.  I've gotten all of the rewards I wanted, and so I'm mainly playing for fun, but some players who have a more…
  • TimSt said: Does the elixir work on spell books?  I would not mind a 25 SDI void slayer spell book. It does...you can apply it to a 50% SDI book 
  • Mariah said: Are you using a Crystal Ball of Knowledge? If not, please try it. It does help you narrow down your search area. I tried this and didn't really feel like the ball really helped that much... it was usually easier/faster if when…
  • Mariah said: Apologies for allowing this thread to become so toxic. I was unable to get the internet connection I was hoping for from my holiday hotel. No need to apologize Mariah; I think this sort of discussion (and having Kyronix respo…
  • Lokea said: keven2002 said: Probably just going to chalk this up to the usual "RNG doesn't like me" and move along. The most I’m getting and have been getting since last month, with 1-3 runs a day, is void cubes,  I don’t know if …
  • This post is good to know... at least someone is finding some favorable RNG. I'm still doing stage 3 at least once or twice a day (sometimes 3) and finding zero luck at all with RNG for the Obelisk. I did add one banner in the last few days and sev…
  • Kyronix said: @ __Psycoder you were not banned for bringing up any situation with relation to this thread.  You're free to talk about it, and as I mentioned in the PM (which is in poor taste sharing publicly, btw) I am aware of the sentiment.…
  • azuldemogogu said: Is there a way to enhance wizard hats or skullcaps? I can't imbue because they already have too many properties.  If there is not material enhancers then why are some antique? Can't enhance cloth items; only leather (a…
  • popps said: PlayerSkillFTW said: Macers can deal with the Paragon Balrons, due to Stagger. During these Treasures events, i swap my Macer/Paladin's GM Parry for GM Necro, and go Vamp Form while still being able to bandage heal. Stagger…
  • __Psycoder said: I will be eaten alive for this but I think this fix was on point.  A guild mate got 16 drops from a single captain. Getting 16 drops after 2 minutes of fighting is wrong IMHO. Personally, I would settle for 5 drops per captai…

  • I can understand the frustration on the totems. I felt very similar when using the totems on the mares 7-8 months ago; perhaps not to this level but it was enough disappointment to make me not purchase/use them again this time around for the Clydes.…
  • ChumboWumbo said: Violet said: So do people think it was fair for people on Atlantic to get 100+ drops per run and people on Baja getting 50-60?  Now it's fair across the board.   These changes do not benefit the bots.  You say…

  • ....and the drops have also been decreased as part of the resolution. 
  • Seth said: I have 1 banner and 0 obelisk for first month.  This increases the value of the reward and encourages participation.  If everyone gets one for the first month, less players will join to breach the wall in the second month.  Sinc…
  • Violet said: People were getting 100-200 artifacts from the 9 commanders on Atlantic with a single character.  It was broken.  It has been fixed.  Be thankful it isn't like it originally was on TC1 where you got 1 artifact per boss. 3-4 per b…

  • Theo said: Yeah it’s super weird. Sometimes I’ll search at my feet and nothing. Move a couple tiles and search and it’s where I was just standing. So odd.  I think that is because you (we) are failing to detect when you are right on it but…
  • Quick update since last post (I added 1 banner to my list in 15 additional attempts): 0x Obelisk4x banners 16x void cubes8x scorched earthMy void cubes and scorched earth are higher because I've gotten 2 or 3 cubes off of the mobs while opening the…
  • Some additional thoughts on the "fix"... I've done stage 1-3 the past 2 mornings and managed to do it today mid-day and it seems like this "fix" did nothing but hurt legit players. I'm seeing blatant multiboxing of 1 toon leading 5/6/7 followers (m…

  • Grimbeard said: To clarify what can I find in hidden chest that require stealing  Wrong thread for this, but the only stealable from the chests is the ethereal prism.
  • Lokea said: I've had well over 60 runs (two a day, sometimes 3, it works out with my time zone and schedule). 1x Obelisk2x banners ("common" versions apparently)2x void cubes1x scorched earthAnd it's been quite a while since I got anything ot…
  • Iniquity said: I am not interested in farming the dungeon at all. Nothing burns me out more the farming ToT drops. That's why the drop rate for the bosses was perfect, and really felt like the devs respected our time.  30 Per run is just not …

  • Community Manager said: I am unable to assist with the drop rate. Unfortunately, it is 100% RNG. Sometimes you're lucky, other times you're not.  I'm reading this as all items have the same chance to drop; ie there are 5 possible satchels …
  • That has been a struggle for me (on ATL) as well to try to pull the bar of the commanders in a massive crowd of players/EVs/RCs/pets... there have been times that it takes 45-60 seconds before I can actually grab the bar. I wish in these cases the b…
  • Did they change the chests with the hotfix? I thought they just nerfed the number of drops from the commanders? Overall though I agree with you that changing drop rates almost a month after it's been live to DECREASE drops is just bad practice.

  • @mis - Thanks for the info! I'd suggest that you use a 100% energy double axe as well. Looks like you honored before fighting so the double demon slayer wasn't needed but if you could take off that 45 DI from your axe and swap some hit lightning it …
  • That's actually pretty impressive you have +180 skill points to get to 900 skill; the skills themselves shouldn't be an issue but I'd be curious to see your suit (since you say it's "decent" and not elite) to see what the stats/resist are given how …
  • Pawain said: So yes I agree with your future prognosis of the event dying out in use, but not for the reasons you purport. It will be interesting to see how things shake out as the event goes along; it seems this morning that even ATL is …
  • Grimbeard said: Garret said: 3982 luck hardcap You believe there's a luck cap  Correct... the way "Luck" on suits was written up is that luck works towards improved loot (won't go too deep down that rabbit hole); not actual inten…
  • Petra_Fyde said: It needs to be a combined effort. Guilds working together, random players dropping stuff they don't need, as non-crafters, into mailboxes at houses where they can be passed on and used. If you have a mailbox at your house, te…
