[Discussion] Time for another one of my events

Well folks, as you finish reading this background story the event has officially started. The last day for submission will be September 1st (Saturday around the evening) so if you don't see mailboxes at the starting house then the submission is over. We will tally up the points and determine winners.


Lady Mary, the official Memorabilia Archivist for Catskills shard appointed by Queen Dawn herself (her first cousin) has recently received an official audit notification by the Royal Council. The auditor, is none other than the Royal Memorabilia Archivist himself Lord Manticore AKA Manti. This is the first time in over 10 years since Lady Mary was appointed to this position that a physical audit was going to occur. Needless to say Lady Mary is very anxious for she is wise in her age but never really had a system of cataloging them. Instead, she had been storing them throughout the Catskills museums. These museums are sanctioned by the Catskills shard local government as official tourist hot-spots (these museums are free to attend for anyone just like those found in great capital of London, Britannia) NOTE: Kids under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.

This is where she needs your help. Lord Manticore’s visit will be in two weeks. Lady Mary would like volunteers to help her catalog these memorabilia’s so that she can have the reports ready for him when he arrives. For your time and service, she will generously reward those who have helped her in a significant way with gold coins and memorabilia from her own private collections (Since she is from the Nobel family, she is loaded!!).

However, in order to earn her rewards these reports must be concise because Lady Mary certainly doesn’t want to report things she doesn’t have or under report things that were supposed to be there. She had been asked in advance by Lord Manticore to provide 6 different inventory lists for when he arrives. They are:


1. Master list of all the above mentioned items but also cataloged them into the right year. Server births and first Britannia Clean-up items can be listed under pre-2000. Items you don’t know could be under Misc. list.

2. Master list of all EM events items (this include accidental non-lockdowns), server births, Mesanna items, specific items from the first Britannia clean-up (Phoenix armor pieces, Singing Ball, Hair and Beard dyes and sculpturing creams, IBD).

3. List of all EM holiday items separated by the holidays.

4. List of all Mesanna event items separated by year and shard.

5. List of all EM events items (this includes accidental non-lockdowns) only.

6. List of all server births items only.


Lady Mary suggests to help you identify the items, please go to the Official Stratics library and seek out the All Time Rare Items Compendium 2004-2011 and the current Rare Items Compendium 2012 published by Lord Manticore. They can be found:

EM Event Items - Rubbles - Server Births | Stratics Forums

SEASON 10 - 2012 EVENT ITEM LIST | Stratics Forums


To get started, please visit the museum located in the city of Luna on the Catskills shard North/East side called “Queen’s Battlement”. There is a rune locked next to the Luna moongate if you can’t find it.

Once you arrive at Queen’s, there should be a magical moongate in place. As you step through, it will lead you to the next museum eventually hitting all 21 museums. There will also be two rune books locked down at Queens with all the museum locations.

There will be vendors at Queen’s with free books for which you can create your inventory list and free marked runes to Queens so you can recall back to. When you complete the list, please drop it in one of three mailboxes located at Queens. Within each book, please put your char contact name, the event # the book is submitted for, ICQ number if you have one or if not your Stratics name. If you don’t have either, you may write in your email address (these email addresses will only be viewed by Lady Mary and Lord Manticore). You may enter for as many contests as you wish. Rewards will be announced after September 2nd. You have until September 1st 11:59.59 PM Eastern Time to enter these books or email.

NOTE: Lord Manticore is a stickler on accuracy. If you wrote down bad answers (things that don’t belong to the above mentioned list) you will have 1 point taken off against a correct answer. Sort of like the SAT exam if you are familiar with that :)


HINT: Make sure you also check the containers if they are viewable for hidden items :)

HINT: You may want to create a char with recall capabilities on Catskills

Okay so there is now a teleportation system going from house to house.

I personally think this event was well thought out and quite brilliant.
I'm only on the 4th house and I'm already brain-fried.
Make sure to look very close!

I keep these posts open while going through the houses, it helps me identify items

Every time I think one of the items is my favorite I go to the next house and find something cuter, prettier, neater and want to bring it home with me

This event is a must for any type of collector, if you can get past the drooling

Ok will open the SA gargoyle house on Catskill at around Noon on 08/25/2012.

There will be gate from Luna bank to public Luna houses that has teleporters to the SA house after 1:00PM Eastern US.

I will probably start a thread with couple of mini house events in the Abyss (one on Saturday and one on Sunday)
- It will probably have 100 to 200 mill in item\items for each mini event
- Event time will probably be in the afternoon on both days unless people wish it to be a different time during the day

Indeed I would also like to express my gratitude to Lord Manticore, Lady Mary, Lady Devin Ashly, and all the contributors to Lady Mary's collection and to this event. Congratulations to Odin of Europa and Alexander of Atlantic for cataloging the nearly 2000 rare contents of 21 houses with me. I began this journey late last Tuesday, and last night I submitted a rare's archive list consisting of 10,000 words 50,000 characters 2000 lines 45 pages long single spaced. I think I nearly had 3 brain aneurysms, many headaches, lots of ice tea, and I think I officially need glasses now. However it is a testament, a labour of love I share for Ultima Online's rare pixels. Again thank you for this opportunity to test my knowledge and skills. I look forward to Manticore's next event.

My Prizes Consisted of the following:
21 EM Sashes
7 Perfect Feathers
Corrupted Gem Residue
A Magically Cut Void Crystal Fragment
Gold Stolen From Trinsic
Hubcap Off An Earth Vehicle Known As A 1979 Delorean
A Bag of Invisible Rocks - Atlantic - Winter 2010
Year of the Tiger Moon Bag
Lathiari Angel Holiday Statue
1 Mystery Prize

The gold were used to buy up items from vendors throughout the shards. The items listed by these winners are but a fraction of what they've received. Close to 1,000 items were given out :). This was my way of also helping out random vendor owners with their sales to help stimulate the economy. I know my part was small but hey every bit helps I think. Not everyone has claimed their prizes either.
