Not sure what Part 2 will be but if it has anything to do with the items from Part 1, might not be to many people doing Part 2
I would almost be willing to bet the items from Part 1 are just little clues to let us know that the Ambushers are just a strange bunch of critters.. well.. and are there for us pixel addicts to have something to chase after ;)

ME MEMEMEMEMEMMEMEME!!!

I am very excited!!

And remember, you can still do trade orders....any time! All the way up to the final stage....yeah yeah I know..BUT WE ARE GONNA HAVE TO GATHER MORE STUFF IN THE NEXT PARTS AND THEN I WONT HAVE TIME TO DO TRADE ORDERS!!!

It'll all work out in the end....;)

And if, by chance, the items from the Ambushers aren't used? Very cool items anyway and another little deco item to celebrate this anniversary.

Have not heard anything at all on a time frame but I would suspect they will do it like they did Part 1.. around 11am-noon Eastern US. Would imainge another newspaper is a sure bet though.

I'm not... haven't finished getting some stuff from ambushers... still need folded stole, goblet, and book... *grumbles*... no lack of ambushers... just a lack of drops...

Not ready to do the same BS with part 2... if it's anything like the disappointment from part 1 .... I'll be seriously disgusted.

They probably have to manually activate it like they did the first one so probably in a few hours I'm guessing

I'm away on holiday, so I'll miss some of it, gutted.

How long is part2 up for?
I'm away up until Monday when I'm back to work, then away the weekend after.

Part1 I found tough, almost 2 days of trade quests, for 4 items.
Felucca didn't have a great drop rate.
My mate doing it in Tram got tons.
Got a ton of useful sots though.

What is part2 anyway?

When is the sorcerers dungeon open, so I can farm for serpents jawbone?

What I'm wondering is how to keep the maps from certain places separate from maps already in the locker. Picked up two in the last half hour from one of the three mentioned places, can only decode one because cartography isn't that high and there seems to be nothing special about it. No way to identify that it came from that place versus anywhere else!! Makes me wonder if mobs that existed before this was turned on will drop regular maps and we'll have to wait for a fresh batch of mobs to kill to get maps tied into the event.

If your cartography is high enough, you'll know

When you put them in the locker, it's the last one in there so just put it in, get the coords, take it out

Tina, all of them from those 3 locations will be the special maps

In order to figure out the locations, read what AL has to say...

~just now we've been finding these statue things from maps recovered from Hythloth, Deciet and Destard~

I dug up a chest and "A Mysterious Obelisk" popped up. I defeated the guardians. But I cannot open the chest. If I double click it says "It appears to be locked". If I use a lockpick it says "You must defeat the guardians of the chest before you can open it.".

ALL the guardians are dead.

I can remove chest. But if I do that I lose any loot...

EDIT: The corpses all disappeared and now it just says "This does not appear to be locked".

Anyone have a clue or is it bugged?


EDIT 2: Ok. So if you click on the stone base, it still says "...must defeat guardians...". But if you click on the obelisk, it doesn't appear locked.

Now that I got that out.....

You HAVE to use the mage spell unlock to open these chests. Lockpicks don't work.

They're loot on spawn in one of those dungeons. They don't appear any different at all until decoded. I'm guessing you need GM Cartography to see difference.

On a side note, Tina Small gave me one of the maps she received in Destard. I decoded it and it did not have the same pop-up as the one I had just dug up. But I know you can trade maps. I got mine from my other account before decoding on my thunter.

You need to destroy the top part before lock picks WORK on it...

My base is gone, I don't see that in your pics? I'm very slowly killing the top part at 2-6 dmg per hit because nothing I tried did damage but my fists.

View attachment 71081
I think you broke it :/

You're supposed to get rid of THAT part and not the base!!!

Double-click on that part that's left..it ~should~ give you a targeting cursor so you can attack it.

Lockpicking is needed for Deviously Drawn Chests. Not sure what other levels it is needed for though.
