speaking as a fella that grew up on a farm im very interested to see what sounds a 'cow patty' makes!

i never heard them make any sound.... only when being stepped on "squish" followed shortly by "oh for the love of.... youve got to be kidding me!"

I wondered if there would be new boxes.
I wasn't for sure if these are new, so I asked Kyronix & he said there are new hues.
so maybe these are them????

darker one is 2070 and the colorful is 1100

an entire years worth of DECO content.

ugh
I had the same thought - maybe, just maybe, they are saving the stuff that is actually useful for last. Nope.
The good news, I can do something more fun than grinding. Come to think of it, I skipped last year's Krampus because I did not see anything worth the effort, and I can do the same with this year's as well.

Like that they're introducing the Whip recipes finally, just don't like that they're made with Tinkering, so no reforging them. So no reforging 100% Elemental whips and imbuing Slayers on them, or reforging 70% Hit Area whips. :(
Would love to have 100% Elemental Barbed Whips with matching Slayers and Hit Area for my Macer/Pally. I solo Blackthorn's Captains with him, and he has Parry with no Bush, so uses an actual 1H+Shield. Barbed Whips are the only 1H wep for Macers with WW.

We need to explain this to Kyronix. Its like he does not know what weapons we use and what stats.
I'd rather have a Legendary Whip drop than only being able to imbue them. At least a 1 in 50 chance for a keeper.

They are absolutely clueless when it comes to weapons and armor... and they just don't get it... they refuse to listen.

Can you toss cow patties at people (like snowballs)

I mean, not that anyone would, asking for a friend

You evidently didn't milk cows by hand as I did in my days. Cows stood with neck in a wood lock and ate hay and grain as we milked them. Behind them was a "deposit" trough. I guarantee you when they used it, it made a noise - a very unique "SPLAT", which sometimes came with splashed out poo on you!!!

You can reforge the whips. You use a runic hammer to do so. I've done it on some of last years drops. They take tinker repair deeds to repair them so it should work. That's the most thing I'm looking forward to and the final pieces of the festival Virtue & Vice items. Still now sure what they have planned for Blackthorns tho. I would LOVE it if it was like the previous years drops and they dropped Minax minors like they did with the same rate as Cult, Origin, KoTL City and Doom ones. Basically all of the Blackthorn rewards are worthwhile, they just made it so damn hard to get enough to just get one item.

The ones last year were drops. These are recipes and crafted by a Tinker. Nothing a Tinker makes can be reforged. Lets hope that changes.

All fine here with FF70. What error message do you get? "site blocked" can not be all of it.

I think those dove cages are pretty and the stable set is nice other than the fact you only get one arch, maybe one arch and a recipe to make more would have been better... Not a fan of the weird giant toadstool Christmas tree, I guess I am just old-fashioned and prefer something more traditional, it seems so much that we had in the last few years looks over-sized, at least they are able to be dyed.

Hatchets are made by tinkers and can be reforged. Not sure where you're getting your information, but tinker items were changed several years ago so they could be reforged by runic hammers.

Do we talk about weapons or can crafted Garg armor also be reforged yet?

Maybe you should play more.

Tinker weapons have ALWAYS being able to be reforged - you just use SMITH Runics to do so.

I just tested it again on a butcher knife, hatchet and pitchfork. All reforged perfectly normally using a shadow runic.

The rules in UO often contradict each other. Tinker made weapons can be reforged, but I am unaware of any tinker made armor that can be. Also, I do not believe any can be enhanced for the material bonus. Kinda silly considering 1/3 of the slots on gargoyles are tinker made armor...

Kyronix was on TC yesterday & he said that they were going to have a discussion for what to do with Blackthorns after Jolly Roger is over. Sometime next year they will be cleaning up that area. That is all that he could say at this time.

what is meant " final batch of vvv themed items" ? makes me wonder if they will bring back next year? or year after year and not be worth doing with no new items?
I was guessing that the next phase would be in blackthorns dungeon with a new npc vender with items but no idea. it cant be all this work for a medallion then stop, could it lol? I am fine with what the devs have done so far except the use of 5 to 10 endless cheating accounts (ej accounts) getting 5 to10 times more than a paid account. what BS
