^this

first thing i'd do is cast identify on the items also to see if they put any info in there.

I did that but I'm not at my computer to get the exact text.

The beads mention that they are colorful and belong to a little girl.
The locket mentions that it contains a message for a son.
The ring is a woman's diamond wedding band.

Strangely, when you turn them into the chronicler he says its a daughters locket and a parishioners beads. Probably just overlooked but maybe the chronicler is lying to us.

All told, it's nice to have an event, much thanks to the hosts, staff and volunteers who are dedicated to making p99 great. I know we don't say it enough, so ....
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! (infinity)

I would absolutely like to second that! The work that went into this, including the writing (posting of the event announcement and the in-game dialog) is really well done, and the idea behind the two factions is a nice dip into philosophical territory, too. My hat's off to everyone involved in this event!

Do you hand in the ring, the locket and the necklace to the aged chronicler all at once or one at a time?

All at once.

Agreed, 100% worth acknowledging the quality writing scattered throughout this event. Despite the fact that players are known to skim or skip over quest dialogue, there's a lot of classic flavor there. /applaud

Correct, all 3 at the same time. I have no clue if this can be MQ'd.

FWIW, I've finally got 1 Corrupted Body Part to drop and looted a rotting ring to complete the set of three, so now I have 3 body parts. Progress!

I can't say I have scientific proof behind it, but it "feels" like relogging in may give you a different chance at the drops. I played almost all day yesterday, 8+ hours, and got 1 corrupted body part. I played about 6 hours today and had 5 drop.

A Tattered and Worn Note

"They told me silence was mercy. They told me stillness was peace. But silence does not speak the names of the dead. Stillness does not remember their faces.

If the living forget, then let the dead rise. Let them whisper. Let the world hear their grief as I do.

When many carry the wound, none survive. When one carries it, the world remembers.

--The Mourner--"

Upon handing all three pieces of jewelry to an aged chronicler:

an aged chronicler lays the relics in the snow, his hands trembling.
an aged chronicler says, 'These were not treasures of gold or glory, but of memory. A daughter's locket. A parishioner's beads. A wife's ring. Each loss tore him apart, until silence was no longer mercy. He bound their grief into himself, and when his arms could carry no more, he sought a vessel that could'
an aged chronicler presses a tattered note into your hands and says 'Read his words. Know why the dead no longer rest.'

You then receive the Tattered and Worn Note mentioned above as well as two corrupted body parts. Just some extra info for anyone interested.

Makes me wonder though. The Mourner sought a vessel.

"When one carries it, the world remembers."

I wonder if we'll meet this vessel.

Can this event end tomorrow on a tuesday? the level 60s flooding exp zones looking for junk to get a rock, illusion or other misc things is starting to take a toll

thanks for the thing but this is one of those unintended consequences things where the cons outweigh the pros due to humans being humans.

Killed a couple hundred exp mobs over multiple sessions and got 2necks, 1 ring, 1 locket and 1 body part. I think RNG gonna RNG and sometimes you get lucky.
