How does it works?

It's more pay-to-win. Pay 2 dollars for, I think, it is 6 hours of an increased chance of getting a drop in Khaldun. Nothing I've read says guaranteed, just increased chances. They gotta make some coin somehow, reckon we better get used to it

well you can get one for free on each account you have -
go the Lost Lands Khaldun Encampent & Look for the Generous Alchemist there-
those are 1 per account .. & shard bound ..
good only for the character that cliked on the NPC & got the potion ..
These are good for 1 hour & "provides a 50% bonus to all Khaldun dungeon points:

The ones you buy from the UO store = anyone can use .. that's why when you see them ion a vendor they just say shard bound

but what you want to spend you money on , is your choice :cheerleader:

Thanks 4 the information. BS is as usual very short in their descriptions.
Useless stuff for me.

They either need to increase the time on the potion or decrease the time of popping the alter. With the Potions you may have time to finish 2 spawns which is a waste of a good potion... Or Brilliant marketing to make us buy 10+ for the day.

Your math is bad.

3600 seconds = 1 hour

I didn't realize that you get one free from the alchemist, thought I had gotten it as a champ drop (but had clicked on the alchy earlier in the day and said no when it was 200 sov.). I used it and got 19 drops in the hour when I get 7-8/hr normally

I got 5 drops on Tamer in 15-20 minus - usually get 1-2... . i believe free potion can be used by any char for my Crafter got it and gave to Tamer to use. Sure hope so, because my cook got th eother free one...

Wonder if it will help a Khaldun crate thief acquire Cult drops, paintings, relics, or ingredients too?

day 1 & 2 i was getting 20+/hr. After the maintenance on the 3rd, they magically made it so I now only get 5-10/hr. But now I can have a potion to boost my drops back to 20+?

14 drops with the bloody potion in an hour, a very laggy, buggy experience at the spawn with client crashes and trouble logging in.
I am starting to seriously wonder why I still bother with this.
This team killed pretty much all the fun the game had.

Cool..Every char in the account can get one? Or you have multiple accounts?

I meant that you can do it on other shards too. I plan on doing it on Atlantic too. I'm just not sure if I plan on using the one on Sonoma. The drop rate is too low for me to use it. I'd rather have it for Deco

Has anyone used this potion and did the hidden chests? Im thinking about trying it to see what happens. All the potion says is 50% increase to Khaldun Dungeon Points. Do the Hidden Chests run on a point system?

I did and got an astounding amount of 2 cult items out of chests while it was active.

Yea I just tried it and got 3 cult items. The drop rate has diffently been decreased. I use to get at least 20 just in the chests. I was hoping the potion would help with the spawning of Relics.

I think I'll use the potion as a decoration item, unless they fix the drop rate..The drop rate should factor in not only if you kill 1000000 monsters in there (as a sampire of course), but also the time you spend there. That would give a bone to poor archers and tamers, also thieves/lockpickers. They should boost the rate up. The rewards, the Al Ankur mask and the belt are not exactly super useful. Mask sucks to begin with, and so what if I lose my 500 bandies to dying? I got get another 500 or more cheaply in a flash by cutting cloth..The other rewards are even worse.
I think will not turn in the drops, just keep as deco, and maybe sell later to collectors..lol.
But I keep playing in there for the costumes some maps and for the challenge of it for fun.

Another great opportunity to make a pain in the arse event more rewarding and more attended is lost again for the X'th time...
They could have 110's PS as rewards..(and not for useless specs this time). In Tram Khaldun. Not 120 and only in PK land..( Ooooh bad words, I know..)
and/or some useful armor, some legendary items..? Shiny deco items with unusual colors? Rare dyes?
