new stuff from T chest

i didn't spawn boss but lots of nice new deco. i got message it was coming soon but never spawned

Is that stuff just for the event or is it permanent stuff?  Love the rune tiles.

Are those the Antiquities?

Echoes of the Blighted Realm – Shadow’s Awakening

• Treasure Chests will have a chance to contain a Cursed Antiquity within
  • The antiquities will appear in treasure chests with a frequency based on the difficulty of the chest.  The higher the level of the chest, the more antiquities you can find!
  • Antiquities come in a variety of random prefixes and suffixes
  • Antiquities come in a variety of common and rare hues

They all had sweet names as well 

Awesome job!  Thanks for posting this.  I was going to try doing some tmaps on test last night but didn’t get the chance

It will be like Krampus needing multiple people doing maps to spawn

I wondered I’ll try to be on later to start working on maps.  See what it drops.

I did probably 15 or so maps and was getting it's imminent messages

What level maps?  I believe the higher maps have more weight.

I did hoard mainly a few trove and a few cache 

The rate I was getting messages felt right and if others had been doing maps it would be good

My T hunter lost his Remove Trap a while ago.  I just want the runes!

Pro Tip:
Don't move skills around after Margarita night.

Thanks for sharing.. only 3 heresy to bot during this "event" (more like an added limited mini game)



As a returning player.. this is my paladin:
 

The shield was one of the very few piece i wouldn't be ashame to wear and could perform a little with.. even vs illegal third party cheater in PvP that uses bots to grind their PvE and/or crafting.

Still mostly naked with this "event" that I waited since my return in june.. just gonna replace one of the FEW pieces I had.

Shame on you BS for turning this sandbox into a shit show theme gated BEST IN SLOT heresy shard bound hellfest for bots.. You guys contribute to killing the game for anyone legit that was not "maining" ATL back then.

I'm not even close to do champ spawn nor PvP again with this mini game, u calling an event.


On a "good" note.. the sappire gonna have his third heresy piece (i'm not saying BIS cuz i'm sure it's gonna be replace by the time I acquire the older shard bound heresy in a FAR future/depending on BS geniuses moves)



This one could have tinker legs (the only piece i can farm and no wait on.. on this time gated content theme park game called UO)

Let's agree on something.. UO ain't a sandbox anymore.. it's Theme Gated game.. since these heresy exist and not hard cap

This is well balanced useful stuff if they buff the tamable pet it would be the perfect publish

When did u start playin UO? my 4 slots CU train with paladin and AI is already OP.. makes the "harder" PvE feel like a joke.. i can't imagine a 5 slots OP pet fully trained.

Well balanced.. this shield is well balance? shame on you if u played before SA!
To me this shit become an instant BIS for paladin.. if u don't have one.. u stink!

Here if a "designer" at BS listen: "A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away."

As i said in a previous post.. when the dev talked about "balance" when adressing the shard bound heresy/ "event" items
what he should have said is: give me time to announce wich template gonna get new totally broken items..

90% of melee characters are sampire zero Will use the shield another 5% archer/thrower again 0  shield use leave the small amount of mace/fenders alone

I get it.. i've had a taste of that.. dueling a mage with 2 hander spltinering weapon & bushido skill.. but that dude wouldn't be able to kill me in a 1v1.. with my shitty 2008 paladin... shit gears & weapons, 255 stats & no mastery.

A good paladin do not die.. they just gave them 10 SS and 30 DI for free.. if people had forgotten how strong are paladin for PvE and PvP (the best all around class to survive)

This shield might remind them.. IF there still is good theorycrafter out there.. but i doubt it.. when i'm seeing what u calling "sampire" ^^

I have to wonder how much you actually play because the amount of warriors using a shield is very small do you really think a bok mage gonna use a non SC shield? Again 0 sampire 0 ranged fighter...

I would use that shield on my throw away melee toon that can get a Tabard.  

Otherwise not many shield users, but it is sweet!

Almost sound like an instant Best In Slot for that macer.. weird.

The moderator did you a solid here.. *smirk*

The 30 di and 10 ssi are pretty negligible, aside from the fact they have hard caps. Weapons are also scaled for max swing speed.

I don’t know what you’re using on your paladin for a weapon but it’s probably likely you don’t need the 10 ssi anyways.

id guess the 4/6 casting and parry + weapon skill is whats helping you.

To be fair the first idea that pop was; two horrific beast build cross bandage using this.. the 10% SS and extra heal is VERY sexy with that 4 MR and 5 HP

I get what u mean dmg wise u already cap raw dmg per second.. but overall this shield is more than impressive and it kinda suck... cuz all I had that is not totally useless on the paladin is a shield, spirit totem, crimson, conjurer's, LT sash and i bought Alchemist's Abomination.
I was waiting this event heresy drop since early august.. I was hoping to find a couple older heretic piece for my paladin, sappire, thief, PvP tamer.. all i got is a new shield for the paladin (replacing one of the few piece I had) and a temporary tabar (not BIS) for the sappire..

Back to the waiting game.. luckly for now i still have thing to do on the mule account.. the prep are almost over.. after; ex here: I would come grind a few shield and log out; waiting on the next event.. cuz i can't do fun stuff like champ spawn or gauntlet with semi naked characters that can't grind nor buy the good stuff.. a Theme Gated game.

The closest people could get to that nowadays, was a reforged/imbued piece like this.
The Bulwark of Light is a solid upgrade for Macer/Paladins that don't have a no-name Legendary Artifact shield (which haven't spawned in years).

Or I could make you an offer for this beauty, it ain't shard bound.. but i'd have to think twice; not a fan of brittle/ consumable gears ^^

Sure, I get it.  I played a 4/6 chiv with fencing years ago.  Offensively, it was kinda weak, but defensively no one could kill it.

When I came back (a year and a half ago?) it happened to be for an Easter event.  Not all the items were helpful but I was able to sell a lot of stuff to get the items I did want.  I know not every shard will have them, but it may help some.

My problem is a game design problem, this is my vendors:



I bought everything that could be bought on legends; 85m/69m/50m for red orcish mask, balron bone armor and serpent's quivers.

This is a game design problem... this Theme Gated game killing the sandbox.. starting with it's economy.. people won't sell u stuff for gold.. they will trade u shard bound for better shard bound like a sentinel's mempo.

Yeah, that can be frustrating.  I’m hoping these items won’t be shard bound.  It’s a tough balance to keep everything being sent to different shards, but conversely you’re then not able to bring things back you’d need.

Hoping to get a handful of the tabards for each shard.  They look pretty useful.
