Dark Age of Camelot fans will love the Halloween edition of the Grab Bag. Featuring spooky questions specific to the DAoC in-game holiday events, it can be read below:
Happy Halloween everyone!
Q. I sell potions on my Consignment Merchant and one of the best selling potions is the highest level Endurance regen potion; Strong Draught of Invigoration for which the dropped ingredient Ancient Giant Blood is required. I can farm these in the Coruscating Mines when they're not camped but so far I've have had no luck finding it anywhere else. What other enemies drop this alchemy ingredient?
A. Jacky the jack o'lantern tells us: In Hibernia, you can hunt the highest level Siabra Waterwalkers and Guardians in Bog of Cullen. There are several glimmers in Sheeroe Hills with a chance to drop Ancient Giants Blood as well. These include glimmer grievers, strikers, warshades and deathwatchers.
Q. I play on Gaheris and I am trying to find out where and who for Spellcrafting, do I get Diamond Seals cleansed at?
A. Lighting the way through the darkness the Corpselight says: Players can obtain a cleansed diamond seal by handing a Daemon Diamond Seal to any Taxidermist.
Q. What is a "Black Crocodile Egg Clutch" for? It cannot be sold to merchants or traded to other players, but I cannot find any use for it.
A. Taking a few minutes away from his haunting schedule the ghost rasps: This item is sought by Abasi, a named Mau in Stygian Delta. Players who have completed the Aiding the Mau quest, also given by Abasi, may bring him the Black Crocodile Egg Clutch for an additional reward.
Q. In the 1.96c patch notes you mentioned there will be new trophies. With all the cool looking tree monsters in the game like Olcasgean in Galladoria have you thought about putting in a tree trophy?[/b
A. The Pirate Tree screams: Arrrrrr!
<b]Q. The quest given by the Ghost Lord for receipt of the 2 charge ring is Level 49. However, the ring has a level 50 requirement to use it. This seems a bit mean spirited to tease level 49's by giving them such an article, and then not letting them use it.
A. With a slow nod Zeke the Zombie sputtered: This was corrected in a Hot Fix on Wednesday. Much thanks to those astute players that brought this to our attention.
Q. Hi, I was wondering if there are any plans in the foreseeable future to allow for water breathing in the SI zones? Even if it's only to increase swimming speed, I think it would a great improvement. Every time I need to cross a river and such, it makes me feel like I stepped into a time-warp that takes me back to the pre-TOA era.
A. Skippy the Skeleton cackled gleefully and answered with: We can look into the possibility of making movement through water in Classic and Shrouded Isles areas less tedious.
Q. You've been hinting at something going on in Darkness Falls for awhile now, can you give us a hint?
A. Impy the Imp exclaims: Me don't know if I should say. Me get beat up by big demons down below. One time me steal bracer from Lilith. Me not bounce right ever since. *Bounce* OW! *Bounce*
Q. I want to know why Passage of Conflict does not drop seals on Gaheris? On regular ruleset servers players are allowed to earn realm points by killing enemy players there, so why can't we earn realm points in that dungeon by having dread seals drop? Thanks for your time and I look forward to hearing a yes or no from you!
A. Avoiding the direct sunlight the Shade whispers: That is a pretty cool suggestion actually. We'll look into this change for our friends on Gaheris in a future patch.
Q. I inadvertently took the wrong cloak while completing the Doppelganger quest on the frontier. Is there any way to exchange this cloak for a different one?
A. Taking a moment from spinning her web The Black Widow peered from her lair: Trade-in quests are something we use very rarely. There are no current plans to add a trade-in for the doppelganger cloaks.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
This week we announced that the Ghost Keeps will be going away on Monday. That's right, if you are in need of the Ghostly Medal of Honor then time to get out there this weekend. Please note: The doppelgangers will remain in the frontiers, it is the Ghost Keeps that are slinking back into the darkness. We're not done with the doppels just yet, stay tuned for more details.
Heads up everyone! Version 1.96 is scheduled for this coming Wednesday. I'll have all the details on Monday about what downtimes to expect so keep an eye here for information about the patch next week.
The players of Gaheris invite you to celebrate Halloween with them tomorrow for their Spooktacular Event. Dragon slaying, a drinking contest and a whole list of things for you to enjoy. If you haven't had a chance to experience our PvE ruleset, tomorrow is a great opportunity, all the details can be found here.
It's time to drink those costume potions and go forth to kill your enemies in the frontiers. What will YOU dress up as this year to confront your foes?
I hope y'all enjoyed the Halloween Edition of the Grab Bag this week. Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays so please stay safe everyone and have a great time in your hauntings! See you on Monday.
Love those 'people' answering the questions. Impy the Imp....LOL!
