Halloween 2021

Recommended Posts

Hello!

 

 

Previously, Halloween drops were somewhat rare with the exception of trolls and goblins. This was mostly due to inadvertently making the aggressive creature pool small and the CR-based chance making some creatures have incredibly low chances for dropping loot. In order to make Halloween more fun for folks of all skill levels, the following changes have been made:

 

  • A flat chance to drop has been implemented instead of CR-based.
  • Combat drops have had their chance to drop increased.
    • Like before, there are three loot pools with varied chances:
      • Trolls (7%)
      • Goblins (7%)
      • All other aggressive creatures (5%)
  • All loot pools use an increasing chance. Your chances improve the more you miss the roll.
  • New items have been added to the other aggressive creature pool.
  • The aggressive creature pool was expanded to be all aggressive creatures except hell horses and summoned creatures.

 

To expand the accessibility of the Halloween event, items have been added to archaeology, including a special archaeology-only item. Not all items have been added to archaeology as to not dilute the pool. This works as an 8% chance to return a spooky fragment on a successful investigation action.

 

We’ve also made drops both from combat and archaeology a premium-only feature due to the increase in drop rates. This is primarily to prevent easy farming of these items with non-premium alt accounts.

 

I hope you have a fun and safe Halloween!

 

Happy Wurming!

sounds good, will the fragments from investigate actions be obviously diferent than the regular ones or will we need to identify to find out?

They'll be obviously different as 'spooky' fragments. :)

Wondering as now the two events - 30% exp and halloween(murder spree/arch) overlap.

The only reason I have any fighting skill at all is because previous Halloween events lacked this clarity. I weep for all the dead kittens.

I like the rework of this, giving all prem players equal chances not just high FS ones. Great job Keenan and the rest of the Dev Team on the new patch as well. Thank you.

Curious, do we need to start and focus the combat for this to work? Cause few years ago as well new players attend to call the guards to attack it first before doing anything, that didnt seem to drop anything at all. So wasnt sure if there a bug or problems with that. I know there will be new players trying to get those masks or whatever they aim for, didnt seem to do well on their own.

I was wondering how long it was going to take for this discovery! :)

 

This one is new, but not limited to Halloween. :)

New regular statue too, that is great. Keenan you could be sure it is just a few hours before it is discovered :P But TBH could be more, I do not currently clean off the regular fragments, this week's time is too precious.
