[NEWS] Publish 57 Notes & Halloween Returns from the Grave!

[Andrasta]

It seems this morning Wednesday November 19th, The Halloween Quest with Sicarii is back on. Khaldun is still accessible in Trammel as is Sicarii, the graveyards have the Skeletal Lich & Totem back and Pumpkins are still spawning. This is probably in response to the terrible lag suffered by some for the past week.

So if you missed doing the quest I'd advise you to get on down there as soon as possible. No word yet on how long it will last. Guide books and Rune books are still accessible at Goodman's Rune Library and Winterbreeze Library.

Also for your information, here is the post from Sakkarah regarding Publish 56.

Champion Spawn Additions

In Publish 57, a number of new additions will be made to the champion spawns on all facets. While working the spawn, players will have a chance of receiving a random Scroll of Transcendence (SoT). When killing the champion, players who worked the spawn will have a chance of receiving a special reward. If none of the people who worked the spawn are present on the subserver when the boss dies, one of the top attackers will randomly be given the reward.

Scroll of Transcendence:

This cursed scroll will allow you to instantly train your character in the skill and by the number of points indicated on the scroll provided you have the room for it. All skills (including non-Powerscroll skills such as begging and remove trap) will be available. The skill on the SoT is randomly selected. The number of points per scroll will range from 0.1 to 0.5 in Trammel rulesets, and from 0.6 to 1.0 in Felucca. There is no timer on using these scrolls.

As Meraktus isn’t a standard champion spawn (no altar), you will not get those scrolls from working that spawn.

In Felucca, players will have a chance of receiving either the 105 Powerscrolls or the Scrolls of Transcendence. The Virtue of Protection applies on Scrolls of Transcendence in Felucca only.

Special Rewards from the Champion:

When killing the champion, players who have worked a certain percentage of the spawn will have a chance of receiving one of three types of items:

1. A boss specific replica;
2. A boss specific decorative item;
3. A shared replica.

The replica’s are artifacts originally created by the former EMs and Seers. They have the same mods and stats as the originals but you cannot use Power of Fortification on them. They can be repaired, insured and blessed. Some of them will only be obtainable from a specific boss whereas others will drop on various champs.

Decorative items will include some animated tiles, statuettes, furniture, etc. themed around the boss they dropped from.

Replicas are available on all facets.

That was fun last night! I forgot to apologize to poor Wilford for getting everyone killed hehe...

They shouldn't put cute squirrels in monster areas...It's very distracting
