    Awesome work dev team! Hopefully the mobs will wear the custom weapon, that would be fun to be able to see it.

    From what I have read, it has basically been doubled. It was set to drop 1 claw 60% of the time, but now 2 claws will drop.

    cool. what about anniv event changes. DOes that mean any items that prior worked no longer are able to be turned in and its all starting over now ? could use some clarity if able. I get the 60+ named dropping weapons to turn in, but what about all the items that previously could be turned in?

    also just to clarify more, the 60+ named rob mentions in the patch notes is basically all level ranges, not just level 60+ named mobs

    yes, there's hand picked named across almost all zones that have a chance at dropping the weapon. Some obscure spawns, some not! The 60+ is just the amount of named, not the level

    Gotcha, cool. that will help to open many more camps for ppl and give them all opportunity to get C tokens. hopefully this is the final form of the event and it works well so things arent changing all the time. Sounds like a good change

    Yeah the goal is that nothing will get changed in the future, the weapons will only drop during the event so there won't be any pre farming available.

    do we plan to keep the named the same at this time or are those changing each year as well, or do we know at this time? wondering if there is any use in ppl starting to catalogue the info or if we gonna spend 1/2 the event each year just finding some of the mobs. that way I know if we should start working to record this stuff for folks

    Yikes...some people's kids. Very nice new mechanic implemented for the coins. Similiar to the brick it seems, who came up with brick idea to begin with? Thanks devs, you're dedication the project shows!

    The wiki page exists because some are sharing the info (huge props to them). Some choose not to share until late into the events, that is perfectly fine too and their choice.

    The vibe I get from these changes, they are wanting that quest specifically to not really be farmable.

    By placing drops on around 60~ rare spawn mobs, almost all of which have placeholders and respawn times, spread across the game, it’s very likely 50% or more of the named will not be discovered this reset. I wouldn’t be too shocked if only 10 of them are discovered.

    I also sort of assumed this list would get changed again next year when it comes back around but maybe not!

    Hopefully weapon quest is not changed around... you can't pre farm it anymore so what's the point in changing?

    I don't see any issues spreading people around so many zones, and they are all equally rare spawns so it's all even, and nobody can even try to monopolize dozens of rare spawns like that even if they tried...

    One thing I'd suggest is maybe changing the anniversary #8 bag quest drops, because having a year to acquire 2h weapon drops would result in people instantly turning in 20+ bag items immediately and then not having to bother with the quest again during the anniversary, kind of not the spirit of it? The quest is fantastic tho, just maybe change up the required items slightly each time?

    Well the reason you’d swap around the named that drop anniversary 2 quest is to prevent permacamping.

    Like phase 1’s Langseaxes, there’s going to be a clear favorite in the easiest/fastest to spawn named that will get discovered then the same people/guild will sit on that camp for weeks on end starting on server up next year after the anniversary patch.

    If it’s a new batch of named each year there’s some time you have to spend killing random named finding out where they will drop from each year.

    well lot of it was tradeables and not lore. They can stack up and sells. that was becoming a problem with it in the first place.

    People pretty much permacamp the areas that drop the memo's for the brick already. Not much different really.

    When I camped it for 4 of my chars in the past, I hardly ever saw anyone in the same zone as me other than them running to CC. Granted, I chose a zone that didn't have crazy high concentration of orcs/giants...
