Almost every meer on Origin is Dropping Power Crystals. Does anyone know why we would be needing these in mass? They should STACK.. Please for the since of sanity make these stack..

I don't seem to be finding any special loot on the Bane's bodies this time. Not sure if it was removed or an error.

From what someone found digging through the recent cliloc changes, the Bane are after some:


Obtain 20 power crystals and return for your reward. Power crystals can be found in various places in Ilshenar including in the Meer village. The reward for this quest is food for the bane dragon, it is the only known thing that they eat.

I was sharing notes. Get off your high horse there bud. Last round there were drops on both sides. This time seems one side did. No one asked you for anything personally.. You seem to want to pick a fight GarthGrey. Asking for stackable item drops I personally feel is with in my right. If you don't think so too bad.

I agree... please make them stack!

Is there really any reason they shouldn't stack?

Does Origin have a war yet, w/ chests, or just new loot for Meers?

Just had a look, Theres a 'Meer' loyalty in the menu but I think the actual war system is bugged.

Theres 3 Bane camps at the moongate, 3 flags and like 10 tents! :D

Meer loyalty ?

So it means there is a Meer war chest and Meer rewards ??

What would the Meer rewards be then ?

And what are the crystal for anyways ?

All I have to say is, those of us who were stupid enough to pay millions for blackrock stew *raises hand*, were stupid... It seemed like a good idea at the time...

This was before I knew about tasty treats in part, and in part because I thought I got a real deal on a few of them at one point... :)

PT Barnum would have loved you! Before the 7 days of bonding were up, they had already announced tasty treats would work.. a sucker born every minute! I wish it was in my DNA to take advantage of people like this.

Well in my own defence I only fed my dragon a bowl of stew before I knew about tasty treats...

Doesn't need much 'defending' - I'm fairly sure the vast majority of players still don't know there is an alternative at all to Blackrock Stew, unless I've missed something there is nothing in-game, or on the UOHerald, to tell people otherwise.

Probably can't because they're animated.
I thought that also but Crystalline blackrock is animated so I'm doubting it, They are a really old item so I think they've just forgotten to do it.
Huh, weird. I've never seen crystalline blackrock outside of a container before. Cool.

Anyhow, this is long been a staple dev excuse for "too hard" to make something stackable:

It is animated so the state changes (not an issue as cbr shows)
It is exceptional quality (seldom matters)
It has maker's mark (not even the same mark)
It has limited uses that can't be combined (engraving tools)
It is a rehued item that doesn't ordinarily stack (clockwork assembly)
