Whispers from the Crypt – A Project 1999 Event

[Bigcountry23]

I think Lake Rathe?

[Deeppockets]

There is a Crypt Whisperer on Erud's Crossing Island...Red to 21 Druid. The Skeleton paths randomly over island; does not attack other mobs/merchants

After a conversation with a Hollow Acolyte in lake rathe (approx 2390, 2430) in he asks for two fragments, one that binds, and one that resists. Still searching for those...

Great event and solid turnout for the Arena.
Good work from all involved.

Had a lot of fun! Camped out in the arena afterwards just to make sure if y'all were randomly donating Guises [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Event seems decent overall but could use some tweaking. Mainly split the body parts into 2 types large & small. Keep the large on the current rarity where you can xp for 9 hours and get 1 body part for a velious bp gem or a high tier alchemy potion wort/port/gate. But make the small body part more common and reward illusions and low tier alchemy potion with a fraction of the turn in faction as well. I appreciate the work that goes into this but it's a bad experience grinding for 9 hours to get 1 body part and get an illusion you could have gotten if you just went afk in the ec tunnel.

I can't speak to the arena aspect because I opted to keep exping. Just skip this part of my review.

It may be harder to do but it would be nice if 60s farming greens during GM events got zero loot/faction. Theres a lot of unemployed people cock blocking the entire event in some of the best leveling zones on their 60s farming greens. I'm not really sure how you combat this since most of the server is unemployed or work from home. And requires constant validation through monopolizing content because they never had their emotional needs met as a child.

The staff has the capability to do this, as The Warrens and Stonebrunt Mountain already have the "trivial loot code" written.

Most likely they didn't use it for the same reason Verant abandoned the TLC: high level players are players too, and penalizing them for daring to level doesn't really fit EQ. You see that guy whose X levels higher than you as an enemy stealing "your" content, but he just sees himself as someone who wants to play the game and experience the new custom Haloween event.

I think a more holistic solution would be to make items drop off a wide variety of mobs ... and seeing as how I picked up some quest bits in both South Karana and Karnor's Castle, it seems to me like the devs did exactly that (although I never tried to complete the quests, so maybe I missed a true bottleneck elsewhere?).

Yeah I did like 44 to 47,5 during that timeframe and got 2 body parts. Didn't really care about the rewards but it barely felt like there was an event going on. Drop rate could be turned up and rewards adjusted accordingly or something like that to make it more involved.

Not dissing the event, just an observation from a semi casual player.
