first i wanna say, the new areas look really neat, the art place in ter mur, the kennels, the soulstone place in tokuno good job on those they look really nice, but then we get to the quest rewards renamed purple power crystal, renamed bonsai tree, renamed jack o lantern carving kit, you guys couldnt even take the time to alter the color or change the art by a little bit? walking into the new areas made me excited, then when i saw the quest rewards was a huge let down.
I use power crystals as part of my deco. Some people don't know that they flash when you lock them down. The broken power Crystal does not flash when locked down. It truly is broken. As for the bonsai. I agree with you on that one. Especially since it's the common bonsai.
Have you double clicked on the items? The true purpose and intent of these rewards is the backstory contained within. We have other delivery routes for new pieces of art, uniquely hued items, etc. If that's not your cup of tea, it's understandable and appreciate the feedback none-the-less.
People will really complain about everything these days, no matter what, huh?
- They could have made the "Where is Yukio?" quest a chain off of the Hook's Map portion, locking it behind 150k doubloons -- They didn't.
- They could have made the "Where is Yukio?" quest a 1-time quest, forcing people to pay hundred of millions (if not more) for the Earrings -- They didn't.
- They could have had only deco/lore rewards and no usable equipment -- They didn't.
The quest is very accessible by being repeatable, you don't need to drag your crafter through it, just take your best fighter.
The rewards cater to multiple crowds -- those that like deco/lore, and those that like usable equipment.
The items are puzzle pieces. Each time you finish that quest you are *one step closer* to finding yukio. The discription of each item holds a clue. I think it's brilliant.
I understand what the OP is saying. It's not that he minds the deco rewards so much but they could have altered them just a tiny bit. Take the crucible - its just one of the refinement art rehued. He wishes they would have at least rehued some of the others like they did with the crucible.
The OP just has a bad title for the thread.
I have tons of plants at my house. Including the normal bonsai, the ones we can make that are all the colors, and black and white ones.
I will collect each reward and display the ones with lore.
I only have issue with the bonsai. You can not tell it is different from a common bonsai. If she cared about it so much it should look different so someone would hover over it.
Having an opinion that some of the items could have used more imagination is not complaining.
The SDI dude can choose not to wear them if he dont want to have so much SDI.
I'm assuming either a Tinker or Alchemist w/glassblowing sub-skill will be able to repair earrings...
They could have made this the 1 per account per shard item we get from the upcoming spawn.
That would put players who do not have shard shields and only play one shard at a disadvantage.
I hopped around and got 10 to 15 band aide belts.
Hopefully the spawn item will be on par with these earrings.. That is a high bar.
yeah the way to get them is terrible....i did 14 quest and still ahve zero earrings...so let s say it s 40 minutes to do the quest so it s 8 hour playing the game witch is a lot....it s not everybody who can spend that much time in game if this quest is only for one month. turn in event at least are fine if it take you 3-4 hours gathering the turn in you need at least you can get your item. presently this earring is the worst item in game to farm because it takes 40 minutes and you have 7/8 to receive an item that people starting to put on the ground after 3 days....im not saying this earring should be very easy to get but the way it is design someone can spend th months doing it one time each day and dont get it
Nobody said this will last 1 month. Like I have explained in other threads, there is no reason this will end. Last years quest is still going.
And when the next event starts you will probably have 10 earrings or as many as you want and have stopped doing it.
This is not a spawn that takes an area. This is not a 1 month dungeon.
This is part two of a four part event. Part 1 is permanent.
And the fact that the little trinket box on Amoeba Island seems to have gone AWOL lends to that thought that either A. It got tired of people poking at it and it left the island (Flashbacks of the show LOST....YOU CAN'T EVER LEAVE THE ISLAND!) OR B. you can't do that part of the quest anymore....which doesn't make sense because the keywords still work......or C. it just needs to be re-populated with more.....
But I might have to agree with Pawain that this part of the event quest will be around for a bit...I hope so anyway because I am taking my time with it...only done it 4 times so far.
For those players that can complete this quest in an hour or so, which appears to be the case for most of the posters, having an almost 90% chance of getting a reward that has absolutely no practical use is not a problem they can just do the quest over and over again as some of the posters already have, until they get what they want. But, for those of us that have to work for several days to complete a quest, like this one, that has an almost 90% probability of rewarding the player with a worthless piece of junk that is is not an incentive to continue playing. My player can solo solo dragons and has soloed the Yamandon several times in the past so he is not a weak player but it takes him some time to find and kill the 161 kills required for this quest. And, to do this for a 90% chance of getting a piece of junk? I don’t think so.
I said there is no reason this could not be permanent. It does not affect normal gameplay.
Lasting till mid July is a long time since there is a 1 in 8 chance to get the earrings. Come back in July and tell me you are still trying to get earrings.
I must say I have done alot and I got 5 now. 4 on my main shard and 1 on a second.
If one week is 5, one month 20, on target. Subsequent months will be bonus. I will not wait for July to know if this is permanent. Does not matter by then. If you don't have time to gather enough will be able to buy from others.
Simple quests, non shard bound will always ensure supply exceed demand and price will be lower.
If there is anything to ask for, it should be pof-able.
And it should have a proper tag like brittle or antique. Alot of arties are missing that for a long time, not sure why.
It's like the slither and tinker legs. Some with luck say get it after less than 10 tries. Some may need 100 tries to get it. This system is not really new... its just the choice for this event when most are pampered with blackthorn type of point system. Maybe some like this quest better because they don't miss the paragons.
So you are complaining that people would damage a mob that needs to be near dead to tame?
Fire beetles spawn in a large area. And respawn very fast.
If they kill one, move the next one away from them, you still have to almost kill it to tame it.
I don't know about per hour on ingots but I have so many now that I call out in chat when I have to kill merchant ships and ask if anyone wants resources because I don't need anymore.
I am thinking it would be easier for me to farm the shadow eles or tame a fire beetle, if someone takes care of the Yomotsu. After the quest ends, I think these monsters will become an irritation.
I believe I've seen this mentioned before, if others are in area there is no need to kill the required critters, just do some damage on it which gives you credit and allows others to whack it as well. This works very well at Lake Kappa and inside the Yom mines and Tsuki areas.
Yea I've noticed some pretty good etiquette on ATL most of the time; especially for Kappa/beetles. People will usually 1 hit and run to the next if they know others are there getting the same thing.
Can anyone tell me what macro I can setup (in CC) that will allow me to attack a target (ie kappa or beetles) very quickly on a sampire during the Sleeping Dragon spawn with a single button or 2?
I'm on ATL and unless I'm playing before 9am it's almost impossible to fill my kappa/beetle quota with one spawn because so many people are there spamming thunderstorm or other sampires are spamming whirlwind it's hard to really target something before it dies (I'm in combat mode double clicking the targets which is sometimes hard to do while running up to something to try to get a hit). It gets a little tiring doing this at kappa lake too just constantly double clicking.
Thanks!
“Select nearest - hostile
attack selected target
(one macro)
however it is bugged on both clients to attack non hostile targets (friendly summons)
Also be careful using this in fel as it is also bugged to attack your own guild members if they are red or criminal”
