I looked elsewhere for an answer to this. We know that the drops were extended out to 12/6. Will the NPC that accepts the turn in items and gives the rewards be sticking around past then, or do I need to claim all rewards before 12/6?

The NPC will not be removed. The plan is to move the event to a different dungeon each Halloween season, no guarantees on the availability of reward items from year to year :)

@Kyronix, will the doom arties be the same each year? Meaning, can I save some of my doom arties from this year to use for next year's rewards?

The minor artifacts will be different, as an example if next year's dungeon is Hythloth, then the artifacts would be "Artifact of Hythloth."

So we don't have an option for the doom arties. Either choose rewards currently on the Doom NCP list or we waste the doom arties? :(

Der... So that means a new backstory for every event? I hope the current story with the discovery in Doom goes somewhere before then...

Honestly, I think you're better off keeping this event in Doom and just cycling the rewards. The majority of the other dungeons just aren't that interesting, even the revamped ones. Trying to crowd people into them will not work out as well as Doom did.

Fully agreed. Doom works. Like Treasures of Tokuno, it has a variety of spawn for different players. Why recreate the wheel?

It doesn't mean a new back story for every event. What it does is allow us new settings as events emerge, based on where the discovery in Doom takes us and intertwining those into a more cohesive story. Wherever we do land will be evaluated for playability when it's time to cross that bridge.

Well, what will happen to spare doom points (doom minors that have been turned already) that one has when the new dungeon event goes live?
Will they be converted for the new event or will they be useless for the rest of UO lifetime?
