I'd understood that was the case too, anniversary and not vet rewards. I can't really tell though, since on three different accounts nothing at all seems to be available to my characters. I'd have expected something like the 12th anniversary tickets, but apparently not.
Anyone know what's actually needed to see these elusive 'gifts'?

It use to be 1000 gold per level and then more items per level the bottom 3 are random the 4th level is from an ancient SoS
The subtle naming changes made with pumpkins are big hit with everyone I've talked to in vent and out.
The transformed hell hounds are sick and the paragon we finished Oaks with was totally off the charts.
Aside from the initial drudgery of waiting for the treats to spawn I'd say good job on everything I've had a chance to do so far Devs. Looking forward to questing later.

I am a bit baffled by the apparent lack of any properties at all on the bloody sashes.
Now it's on Origin... Well, I think you can't at this point fight the Bane directly, no. And lore wise our Monarch still hasn't understood the threat they pose (or that her husband is mixed up in it all) but we're supposed to be fighting in the Anti-Virtue dungeons for now, and giving up our rewards from being in there too. Humility, humility remember? But I agree, it's still very loosely plotted and you need to make the own Virtue connections yourself, there was little in the quests as they stand now to make any inference clear at all.
My guess, and it is just a guess as you can't see anything but extant quest text in the CLILOC is that
We may be measured on either how many do the Good versus the Bane quest, or how many pure versus corrupted Books Of Truth are on a server when Magincia comes to be saved. If I were a Dev, I'd be using the "Naughty Bloke's" Book of Truth with their names scribed inside as a testament to Pride, the opposite of Humility, if Magincia gets replaced by a Bane Temple. Put the Books of those who failed to protect the Virtues in pride of place, locked down forever...! But your guess is as good as mine if this is the intention...
That limited spawn Halloween NPC (you can't easily see how many of them there would be from the CLILOC) sounds incredibly foolish though... maybe the default setting is 1? Very disappointing. I've seen most of the rewards visually by now, but can't be certain which belongs to which quest line... some may be begging, some Halloween Hell Hounds, and there are some silly some serious ones, so worth sticking with it if you can. But still... bad devs, bad.
Yep, same here. Hit that problem roughly an hour ago, not tried since then though. I'd suspected it was just Origin being extremely busy, but that's purely a guess.
Thank you for your response, Aurelius. I guess I will do the same and wait it out! For anyone still logged in, I would venture to say do not log out or switch chars, hehe

That would be nice, but historically the UO team has dropped the ball on our actions really having any outcomes (they never DID do anything with those glasses daggers, you know? and it has been promised in other arcs of the past few years that 'our actions would determine the fate of Sosaria'... but it never really has). I have to side with history on this one.
I would LOVE for the UO team to prove me wrong, I really would. But like I said, their statements have never really been backed up with any actual follow through. We've seen countless threads by posters like you (and I say this with no ill will, just pointing out) stating how the team has an overall plan. Time and time again they've let us down. It's just very disheartening, as a player.

What do you expect from liars, they never stop lying. With that said it will take a lot of proof for us to ever trust what they say again. Just like when your kid does the same thing they have to prove that they are sorry and won't do it again. Just the Dev team never tries to get our trust back.

This Bane Chosen scenario and the warping of Truth is starting to remind me of Batlin and the Fellowship...

It's not solitary but I prefer the area in the Abyss around the Slasher area. Relatively easy to drag one out to a non spawn area there.
Hopefully in the near future they will increase the Meer spawn to have way more of them like they did the Ophids and Bane. But I REALLY wish they would have left it so the Ophids still gave loyalty to the Bane. There are so many of them in the old War Camp you could get to 7500 pretty quick.
Does Origin work again, yet?
I want spoilers !!! ;P ... I think I give up on the quest, it's a lot of work unless you *muffled speech* although I'll have to see what the item is, but ... if it's that sash that has been mentioned, eh ... unless it becomes super duper, but really ... how can anything compete with the Scalis jewelry ... I so want those.

Those large gems are the mystic healing stone and spell trigger artworkWent through the artwork and found the possible large gems, Vases and Lobster/Crab mounts.
I thought they might have been, They were nearer the SA stuff than the HS stuff, My apologies.
Oh I know ... but I'm talking Quest reward, what Hell Hounds look like when you feed them ... you know, I've read everything in this thread, I'm pretty sure, and I don't think those things are here.
Also, the shard stopped working earlier this morning. Eh, I'll try it later. Problem is I don't have a tamer on Origin to test Hell Hounds.
Cool -- the mounts look sorta like archaeology digs.Went through the artwork and found the possible large gems, Vases and Lobster/Crab mounts.

None of the content I worked yesterday required a tamer. In fact we had one tamer on and trying to get close to a transformed hellhound was, uh, bad for the health of his pets.
I was counting on you to provide me w quest spoilers, lol.
I'll try and get pics when I can and post under a tag. There was one other very interesting thing that happened towards the end of fighting the paragon hellhound that I am not sure I'll be able to capture. But it is a graphic transformation of characters similar to Coon turning you into a rat. And it used some really old, maybe not even seen in UO before, art.

To help Mapper then, these are the rest of the images Nimauq found, as we discussed the contents of the patch last night;
Large Grandfather Clock:
Small Grandfather Clock:
White Grandfather Clock:
Unknown Item:
Unknown Item, possibly Halloween Reward?
Unknown Item, possibly Halloween Reward?
There is reference to an Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini in the patch, but Nimauq hasn't as yet found the art...

It was close to the champ spawn altar a minute ago. It hit me with a fire breath for 200. Only a 40's suit tho. Never worked the char there.
Unknown Item, possibly Halloween Reward?
That is the old Third Dawn Kimono.
Also, about half of what was posted as "new" has been in the client for several patches now if not more.

Well it's working the Oaks spawn pretty easily solo. Not sure what it is gonna do with a Wind Spirit but I wish it luck
60 dmg @ 70 to me
lol if only you could take it to Tokuno ... could use a futon maybe ;PWell it's working the Oaks spawn pretty easily solo. Not sure what it is gonna do with a Wind Spirit but I wish it luck
What appears to be the best way to attack the Ancient Hell Hound? Should we be using a ranged character? Is there a slayer that it is vulnerable to? Normal Hell Hounds are vulnerable to flame slayer. Does it have an endless mana pool (like slasher) leech off in wraith form? Just trying to draw out some insights from people that have engaged in battle with this beast.

either of those are fine, you are going to die a lot anyway. Oh and with a pet the pet will lose stats, so on the other hand no maybe thats not such a hot idea.
It will pull you from anywhere, anywhere, if you have a pet or summons on it or cast a spell on it and do damage, not all the time but if you say have 2 evs on it you are going to spend a lot of time under its belly.
It dismounts so jousting is not perfect, although possible. Toe to toe is out.
Cacophonic blast slow cast time, cast recovery, swing speed, reduces movement to walking.
Thinking of other nasty stuff, most of the archers I was with last night reported doing around 20 to 24. Mind blast at 115 mage was doing 27 to 30.
Good luck!
How do we claim the anniversary gifts? None of my characters on Origin received any.
Sounds like a giant turkey in disguise!
Lots of similarities, maybe I'm just not remembering my archer getting pulled in last year.Sounds like a giant turkey in disguise!
Two additional questions:
1) What is the weakest resist of the Ancient Hell Hound? Cold I assume.
2) What does the "Cacophonic blast" actually do to swing speed? Is it a -30% SSI (or another set value)? Or does it slow swing speed regardless of SSI & stamina?
Thanks! I'm working a concept to tweak a char to engage this new foe.

Certainly happened a lot to my characters.....
As Mapper said, it's similar to a turkey ... except I don't remember a turkey having breath, a characteristic you'd expect from a Hell Hound. The Cacophonic is also what the Grizzle in Bedlam does, although, I don't know if the Hounds ooze at all? Haven't seen them do that or read that yet.
You'd need to fight this thing like a Rikktor to avoid firebreath but somehow out race it on foot to get away in time ;p ... and then, I'm not sure about its HPR, seemed pretty fast. If I had a mystic on Origin I'd try Rising Colossus ganks
... kills EVs in a few hits and aggros anyone ... which also makes me not want to kill it though, because I don't want to lose Bane loyalty if these things don't have anything worth obtaining on them ;P.who cares? you're telling me a sampire can't solo it? they can solo anything. in fact, i bet that's what people WANT. they will cry and cry on these forums until the hellhounds are nerfed.
I guess I was hoping for something like these:
LRC 10
DI 10
or
MR 1
HPR 1
or
SSI 5
SDI 5
or
HLA 25
CF 3
Something along those lines. Less powerful than a Lt's sash, but something nice to add to the collection of items in UO. IMO, the sash is one slot that is all or nothing. You either have a Lt sash, or a sash with no mods. There is no middle ground. I'd like to see a Conjurer's Sash (wearable by human, elf, and gargoyle) as a middle ground.
