Gala the Curious has asked her Servitor to spend some time in the Plane of Knowledge over the next few days to aid in the celebration of the 1 year Anniversary of TAKP. Please feel free to stop by and talk to the Servitor of Gala.
Yea. I'm the one who got the bag. I've turned in 7 coins between my chars, and the other 6 results were just single dose potions. Levi, IVU, rejuv, etc. Of my 7 turn ins I got a couple repeats. I doubt anything worth while besides the bag is rewarded. Switched to doing the turn ins on my monk once I got the bag on my wiz, but honestly I think I could farm up 5k for a tinker bag in the same time, so I probably won't be trying anymore.
It is a nice idea, aside from the bag the rewards seem underwhelming, but thats ok. However, new players and low level players are left out, which is not so good. I would suggest to do this differently in the future. Perhaps make it a low percentage drop from all mobs, with trivial loot rules?
yeah I think for next year, we would do it differently to make them inclusively for all. perhaps a custom made items for both low level and high level rather than potions and bags.
Got a http://www.takproject.net/allaclone/item.php?id=14456 ( Potion of Swamp ) Thanks Bumming, for letting ME bum for a change !
I'm in agreement with Rob. This was our first go around with this kind of event. We are learning as we go.
I was very lucky and got bag on first hand in! I wouldn't have been out looking for the coins if you hadn't linked it in ooc previously. Still though, really cool idea for the event. Thanks for putting something together for us.
Here's the alla clone link for it : http://www.takproject.net/allaclone/item.php?id=1264 it's pretty specific stuff outside planes it looks like
I actually don't think this is a bad event. Nothing crazy game breaking, but fun little trinkets that won't make those unable to participate feel like they are missing out too hardcore.
It looked like a fun enough event. I would have liked to be at a level where I could participate. The listed mobs helped me realize I was wasting my time killing trash in old world zones. The Servitor himself wasn't as explicit so for awhile I was just thinking I was really unlucky.
This event also got me nostalgic about GM events on AK. I took part in quite a few of these and the GM/guides went into interesting detail on storyline and I got some class specific rewards. I remember one where we had to chase a siren through SG and eventually fight a mechanical dragon in WW. I got a fungus beast glad once (region when equipped, modifier to bind wound, but -50AC). With that I was motivated to work up my bind wound to max. I'd equip it in between mobs while soloing as a warrior in my 40's and bind up just until 44%, so I could take advantage of my berserk. I also think I was awarded an summon food item for one event. It basically summoned a stack of burned bread for each 30 sec cast of the clickable. I thought it was called 'shovel of winter' but I can't seem to find that listed anywhere? Maybe I got the name wrong. Has anyone ever heard of this summon food item? The graphic was a shovel as well.
Shovel of the Harvest but its a 2 second cast time http://www.takproject.net/allaclone/item.php?id=31398
I'm familiar with that harvest shovel from TOV and the one I had was very similar but it was like a nerved version of that, with a 30 sec cast. It was a great prize. I wish I had the code for it or could access the name. I'm pretty sure it was shovel of winter or something with the word "winter" in it.
Well, I checked my Magelo and now I recall I couldn't find it in their database to add to my character either. It must be one rare item. Also, the bind wound thing was a heart of fungus. http://eq.magelo.com/profile/1280962
