	Quote: The Anniversary Dungeon Returns! UPDATE: The Anniversary Dungeon is now live! Through March 5th. We're bringing back the Anniversary Dungeon for an encore! You may also see some minor changes to the dungeon this year. We're expecting to turn on the dungeon late on Thursday morning, Eastern time, and the dungeon will be available through March 5th! The reward list includes the return of an older cosmetic item as well: The Captain of Bling! This hat marks the return of the Admiral of Bling, which was available during DDO's 5th Anniversary, in a new cosmetic form. The Anniversary Dungeon will be able to be accessed in House Phiarlan. We also have a special gift for everyone in celebration of DDO's 11th Anniversary, which we will have more information on later.

	Can't even be arsed to give us a new event. Hell, even their "gift" is the same as last year, with the same list of useless/nerfed items.

	I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

	I would have wanted to see Cannith Boots of Propulsion and Gloves of the Titan's Grip on a list of BtA gear from days past. Those are fun items.

Titan's Grip is still a decent clickie if you aren't a Kensei... (Psionic boost doesn't stack) #sadpanda Other good options would have been: Thaarak Wraps Kundarak Delving Boots The Disciplinator Dethek Runestone/ Dumathoin's Bracers Torc of Prince Raiyum-de II Topaz of Anthem Meridian Fragment 30 Phlogs of either colour Anything from Mark of Death in general I'll stop, this has become depressing��

Last year the list was all (or mostly all) BTC. This year the list is BTA. The augments would have been nice. A list of Ioun Stones and rare Augments would have gotten the job done for folks who don't have those in abundance. I do, but I get that the anniversary events are often not geared towards the end gamer crowd (who are already geared).

I was looking at it as "What items are hard to farm or only drop in raids". Raid loot and BtC items tend to top that list, but YMMV. I've been at this for 6 years and have yet to see a Pale Lavender or Pale Green Ioun stone drop.� Rare augments would have been great or better yet, Shards for the old Shard/Seal/Scroll items. It's not like they're OP anymore. Wouldn't even need to be many shards either... Hell just the SoS or RoSS shards would do it. Wishful thinking... Edited: Or give us some sexy cosmetics... That Ice Robe thing was a hit. More of that, pleez and spank you.

	I would have liked to see some raid gear, preferably with a large loot list like ToD. The items aren't great anymore, but plenty of people would still take a ring or two. Following the BtA rules they self-imposed this year, they could have offered several other options (some good ones already mentioned) that I may have been more excited about. I'm still appreciative, but just not as happy about the choices. There are tons of BtA pots/cakes I would have been excited to see. The BtA nature, combined with 2 per account means there's no reason to create alt accounts to abuse the system like some years prior. 100k XP is garbage, unless it adds Reaper XP which I highly doubt. I would have rather seen a sizable guild renown option. Hell, I'd have been more excited for a couple different level gold seal hirelings...

	Given that the items are already out I assume this doesn't break the NDA. DDO team specifically requested PC members to list BTA items that they would want to have (not BTC). Ioun stones, and the higher up items from like epic orchard and TBC and stuff were suggested, with a lot of people pushing for Ioun stones. Not sure how they ended up with this incredibly lackluster list from the information they were provided.

My guess is that they dont want to break the "shittier than past years" thing they have going on right now.

	Well the upside of the terible anniversary dungeon is that you can farm collectibles pretty handily there. Ignoring the plants in the big hall (those only drop tangleroot collectibles namely lily petals, woodblossom nectar and crimson nightshade) if you rush to the private wing (where varghoul spawns) you can get around two bookcases, two backpacks, an alchemy table and a small cabinet in roughly a minute. Since you can set the level of the instance yourself it's pretty convenient if you still need some collectibles.

	The vault of the artificers is still one of the most expensive adventure packs in the DDO store... probably for the Cannith boots... SSG doesn't want to give a way the only reason for purchasing that pack.

Mindsunder or the other lower harbour chain. ( not sure which one, but it's definitely every 3 completion of the chain ( or maybe 5 ) you get at least one ioun stone. ( at least that's how it used to be... long ago, since then and between the Feathered Loot and the Loot Revamp Episode I and the Loot Revamp Episode II it might have been Fubared. Otherwise they tend to drop for Characters around LVL 5-7 ( I know nobody stay around that level long enough to get some decent chances to get one )
