I just got that impression after you spent 13 pages calling out eladiun for being an interwebs bully when anyone who's been posting on here already knew that.  I mean, he's proud of it and hardly tries to hide that at all.

Lamannia Release Notes: Update 11 Patch 1

Welcome to the Lamannia Update 12 Release Notes for Dungeons & Dragons Online! These release notes were posted on Wednesday, October 19th, 2011. These notes are subject to changes and additions.
News & Notes

Of Special Note

Try Challenges on Lamannia!

Introducing Challenges, available for preview on Lamannia! These repeatable quests feature multiple objectives and mini-games with a broad range of choices!

    Complete the objectives to collect rewards you can barter with for better loot.
    Choose your specific level of difficulty - each Challenge supports a broad range of character levels.
    Try to best your high score each time you play.
    Multiple variants available with different strategies, time limits, and rewards.

Challenge Scores

Scoring is based on both a point value and a Star ranking.
Point scores determine how many reward items you will receive once the time runs out! Try to beat your personal best high scores, or compare your score with your friends' scores!
Additionally, each Challenge has five specific star objectives. Each objective you complete rewards a blue star. For every star you earn, you earn favor points for House Cannith. Each Challenge variant has a different set of star objectives, and can offer different types of monsters, mechanics, powerups, goals and time limits.

    You must complete the first star objective to receive items and XP for the Challenge.
    If you complete all 5 star objectives in one run of a Challenge at its maximum available CR level, all of your blue stars will turn to gold - you'll earn bonus favor and bonus experience!
    Players over level (5 or more) will not be rewarded items or XP, but may still earn favor from star accomplishments.

Accessing Challenges

Visit House Cannith to participate in Challenges! Look for the challenge boards to accept your desired Challenge variant. There are multiple ways to gain entry to a Challenge:
Challenge Packs

    The Adventure Pack grants full access all the time, any time! Free to VIPs!
    Guest passes can be purchased to grant your friends access to challenges for a limited amount of time.

Challenge Tokens

Challenge Tokens are used to access individual Challenges one time

    Free Daily Challenge Token
        Visit Kariya ir'Vannis in House Cannith, near the Cannith Gorgon statue, to receive access tokens into that day's free Challenge!
        The available Challenge will change every day, so check back daily to see which Challenge Kariya has to offer!
        Premium users will receive bonus Challenge tokens from Kariya!
        Challenge tokens can be used for entry into a Challenge, or spent on one-use bonus items using the "Cannith Supply Vault" located inside the Challenge at the beginning.
    Universal Access Token
        Purchase a universal token for single-use access to one Challenge of your choice.

Available CR Levels

Supported level ranges for each Challenge differ; as you enter a Challenge, you may use the level selection drop down menu to chose the Challenge level you wish to play. The majority of Challenge variants are also available (separately) in Epic CR levels. Note that selecting a Challenge below your character level can result in XP and reward penalties for your party, though it will not impact your ability to earn favor.

Sounds similar to daily quests from WoW.

It is a similar thing to LOTRO - I was wondering when they would finally bring it to ddo.

Someone should boot that fucker.  He has no moral compass, screams at people when they just want to promote their business, and rampages through the vault leaving nothing of worth behind.  What an ass.

I get the strange feeling I want to get this challenge pack as quickly as possible. Then farm it out before they fix the favor bugs which cause you to get favor every time you score a blue star. (Note: Have not tried the update yet; this is just speculation on my part.)

Interesting update in the VIP vs. Premium wars.

VIP can do any challenges they want any time they want.  Premiums have to purchase individual access to challenges and they have to buy each challenge each time they want to get into it as far as I can tell from reading the release notes.

Looks a lot like elite unlocks purchasing in the DDO store.

no the thread shows a ddo store screen where you can buy the pack. The tokens are for people who don't own the pack and want to try it out. If you own the pack it gives you some kind of bonus from some supply vault (whatever that is).

This appears to be a novel way for f2p to try out the quests, getting a free one time random token every day, or they can buy a universal token to try any challenge. That or they can buy the pack and get the same access as V.I.P.

Except it looks like you can buy the adventure pack that includes the challenges for VIP style access. Unless I'm reading it horribly wrong.

In that case, it's just about the opposite of what I was thinking and I love the idea.  Having a "quest of the day" is very appealing to me.

Hell, I even like Mabar when it's here for just 2 days (as long as I don't get banned).

Only 665 for the full 2.5M plan, for those who don't want to do the math.  Plus, that's 2.5M more plat that you can carry per acount if you're already full up on characters, not that it'll make that much of a difference unless you're a premium player with the 4 basic slots or something.  Tongue

In case anybody cares, here's a sample of one of the items you can get from the challenge quests.




Hope you didn't farm the cove for two weeks for the cavalry plate for your heavy armor wearers! Actually, I'd probably keep the cavalry plate on my cleric, but the new one is pretty nice.

In case you didn't notice, that's the tier 1 version. Tier 2 adds 20% negative energy protection, and Tier 3 makes it a "real" epic item (+6, blue slot).


There's an item I want to try to play with a bit, but unfortunately I suck too much at the challenge quest to get the ingredients to play with. It's called a Wand Bracelet.



It sounds like it turns whatever you put into it into a permanent clicky. Can someone please check it out for me? Thanks.


Edit: Two quick additions. First, the ingredients for the items are Bound to Character, so no easy farming epics for your new characters, sorry.

Second, I suck at fixing pictures. So sorry.
