Also, I do go around and kill some Meer and Juka both. No loyalty increases/decreases from the last war deal.

Thanks for the info! SO the blood tree is outside of the Juka town?

Sounds like the making of a another meer/juka war

Nah, it's where Meer Catacombs and Blackthorns Castle used to be.

Don't think it's a Meer/Juka war.. Meer and Juka are both on the good and evil side on this one.

Yes near the prisoners that have been missing. We'll have to free them somehow.

The trapper huts where Merida is supposed to be, that's where Julia is now, yes?

I have not found trapper huts on Atl yet...

and only two prisoners on our Shard. Damon and me. Guess they didn't like me calling Lorenzo a whimp after I saw his skills...

She is talking on Atl also...

I like quests before the event. But I suck at them.

What do I say to Jaana?

All of the Dark Monks around the tree speak, but only once you've talked to another one...I had my Cu killing all the Juka around there so I could make sure I talked to them all.

Not to totally side track this productive thread (thanks for all the pics so far!! Keep them coming)

I thought the whole point behind the dynamic system was to remove the longer amount of setup required and allow setup for these type of events to be kind of "dropped in" (I'd assume it would almost be turn key instead of setting up on every shard separately)?

**Edit** This is not a shot by any means.. I'm just eager to start the next new thing :)

For those looking for a short cut, these huts are marked in most books containing runes for the Griselda the Hag/Apprentice Quest, as they are one of the 20 locations Zeefzorpul the imp can be found.

The trapper huts are far east of minoc as far as you can go almost passing vesper. Been a fight there on catskills

NICE!

It has been forEVER since I've done that quest I totally forgot!

I marked a rune already to put at my Luna house, hopefully others are doing the same! :)

I was thinking the dynamic system was for smaller arcs, em events etc.. not for large global arcs. I could be misunderstanding it though. I mean a lot of work went into design and implementation of the 'Blood Tree' area, that is what makes me think that.

Yeah the dynamic events are like the Treasures of events...I don't think Forest of the Dark is going to be a Treasures of event.....maybe?

There were two kinds...the Treasures of and another one....the champ spawns....trying to find the specific info.


I guess that this might be a Treasures of Event.....either that or it's more like the KR quest, which I LOVED!

What I REALLY loved about the KR quest (Inu the Crone) is that it gave the puzzles to solve for the next clue. Really wish they would include some more anagrams.

I LOVED those! Talking to the Rune Beetle...the rune clues every week....actually having to work out things like...oh what was that last one...in the graveyards...this quest is okay but the keyword quests always seem a bit....blah to me? Just spouting out words lol. Even though noone is around I always speak to the NPC's in full sentences!

That makes one of us. I sound like I suffer from Turetts just spouting out random words. Including an occasion f-bomb when I get frustrated and they do not respond. Glad most of the keywords on this one are easily identified.

Merida is in the trapper huts in the woods east of Vesper on the mainland straight south of the Sacrifice shrine, found her on Sonoma 92d 6m N 141 d 57m E

The "dynamic" content doesn't require a publish to implement. They don't have to put it on TC to work the kinks out due to it's cookie-cutter nature. It does require them to set it up on each shard manually but since it requires no actual coding they are able to deploy it much faster. I know that it seems like a pain to set up, but they don't need programmers to do it. I assume the programmers are focused on New Legacy.

Yeah the tree on Origin is in pieces, I tried to pull a life bar from it and it just says you cannot pick that up lol.

I wanted to join in on the fun so I went to the blood tree. I started randomly saying different key words like "guide" or "tree" to everyone around it and they all responded and got some different responses than what's been posted. Nothing actually came of them but I'm wondering if it will once things are turned on... I kind of think they will all lead to the same end point though.

Seems like there will be a battle... wondering if it will be champ like where it restarts after defeating the Waymaster

Yeah, they keep adding to it slowly.

Lorenzo the Meer has had a name change within the last hour or so thing morning on Atl. He is now Kavath the Dark Monk.

Kavath is his name on Origin..or was yesterday. Will have to go check today but maybe they are just streamlining it so it's the same across all shards.
