Valrei prize distribution

Recommended Posts

Most Valrei item prizes were split up in three with one charge each. There is only possibility for one Key to the Heavens, Wand of the Seas and Rod of Eruption each round still. One player may win more than one if lucky.

Should now be possible to convert to evil deities in HOTS template kingdoms.

Can the rod be removed already? Please?


 


Good changes otherwise.

what do the rod of eruption and wand of the seas even do?

 

The rod creates a gigantic ugly hole with 1000+ slope rock sides and lava at the bottom. It spawns adamantine boulders and can only be placed in areas that have no kingdom influence. This is usually HotA, where pillars spawn at the bottom and require Mag priests to win (gl BL). It also gives people a way of killing themselves in PvP and saving their gear. These holes on old Elevation had to be hotfixed by Rolf several weeks before the map reset.

 

The wand is supposedly fixed now. It was supposed to create islands. It used to create shallower holes in areas with no kingdom influence (again, HotA). They are/were not nearly as bad as volcanoes.

 

Both of these were factors in deciding to reset Elevation because they destroy the map.

That's not exactly accurate, the slopes vary depending where you place the rod

How big are the islands that are created?

No one knows yet. It was bugged and created craters (on land) instead. Go figure.

The volcano rod can be tweaked to create shallower volcano's instead of totally remove it IMO. Wand of the sea's also never worked as intended, so I can't really say anything about it until people have used it as it's meant to be used.

Does this change apply to items found on unique mobs on Freedom as well?  Or do we still find 3-charge cherries (etc.) in the forest giant's pockets?

I've read that the Wand of the Seas was meant to serve two functions: creating islands when used in the water, or creating lakes when used on land. I can't remember whether that was from a reliable source or not, but yeah. That might explain the craters.
