	Any of this shit worth grinding out? I've some how managed to miss all the past events. At a glance, all of it seems to be par for the course for turbine - low drop rates requiring far too much grinding to get underpowered (and in this case, ego strokingly named) crap. The only things that seem to even resemble being worth the effort might be the dice and the jewel. Where does the dice leave you in the harbor (that might beat taking the death train to get out of E-star - but not sure if it's worth the 12 plus runs it will take to get it)? Any opinions of the new jewel?

	The lvl 5 heavy plate is worth grabbing due to the insanely high ac on it. Not looked at the new stuff yet.

	The d12, Tower Shield and Caster Clubs look pretty solid. The Banhammer is LULZ. Also pretty good. The rest of it is standard from the last event.

	Where can I see a list of the stuff outside of game? And is it all like before where you have to grind for party favors and redeem them, or is some of it RNG now?

	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.

	Dual Broccoli Bashers are nice.� Especially now that we have more epic oozes to beat down. IMO, the Forum Posts would make a fine level 20 sentient weapon for a caster. EDIT: The Coffees would be pretty good if they set the cooldown timer for the clickie to 30 seconds, and made the debuff go away on finish out of a quest and in taverns.

	The Heavy plate at 5 and 15 are best in slot for the level. The 10 is debatable given the Ravenloft offerings. The caster sticks are good but I wish the Acid set was Conj rather than Evo focus but meh can't have things that truly make sense. The Banhammer is great but I wish it were something you could Swash with but meh it's a good hammer and first banish/smiter we've seen in years really. Given you could swash with it I wondered if I get bored enough to make a set of the sickles just for lols but meh I doubt it. Thought they might work decently with a wolf build. Something ti ponder I suppose. I see no real point for the D12 given that its BTC and 100 favor. I would rather focus on getting a Mask from Ghola fan or do teleport scrolls. The jewel should be fun depending on how they changed the phrasing I just wish it wasn't so grindy to get but I suppose it's to be expected.

I'll be finished farming my second Hammer soon. It's all that and a bag of chips.

Those sickles are hilariously good. Again, 5, 15, 20 are the magic level numbers. Awesome for your Druid and Swash.

To each their own, but it's likely faster to farm a d12 than to hope for a Mask given it's treacherous drop rate and the miserable quest it comes from. I'd also add that the tower shield is likely Best in Slot (for S&B builds) at Levels 5, 15 and 20. Looks good too.

	Have to agree with Synchrono on the D12. WAAAAAYYYY to many party favors to be remotely worth it. Not when teleport scrolls are a thing. And especially not when its BTC. If it were 20-40 favors, sure. But at 100? Fuck. That. Noise.

But GOD DAMN that AC... scales has an insane dodge cap for heavy. if your character has even a small dex mod of +2, then scales is only 9 ac less but 7 dodge cap higher. scales is the best heavy in the game. I did get no worries ml 5 for early levels though. Metal-Beast wrote on Feb 24^th, 2018 at 11:28am: Those sickles are hilariously good. Again, 5, 15, 20 are the magic level numbers.

It's all that and a bag of chips really easy to farm, too. getting 4-5 min runs with decent pugs. 25~ minutes per hammer. i ended up getting a second one because it's kind of amazing for high skulls.

	I just spent several hours farming these anniversary ingredient things, and only got 155. Any chance there is a way to dupe these things, and if so where would I find the way to do that? PM would be appreciated

	If there was a way to dupe bound to account ingredients, why the fuck would anyone use it on this garbage when they could be duping raid loot?

	I thought about getting a banhammer until I noticed it had Anchoring, which suppresses Haste.

For it to be Jerry, he'd have to have a clue how bad the drop rates suck this time around. Has a clue = not Jerry.

Lvl 3 character, go in on lvl 5, 20 second per encounter, with playhouse taking a good minute 30 seconds, and maybe 2 minutes travel time in all, 6 ings .. less then 5 minutes per run. It's not hard.. Buuuuuut.... that being said... my eyes start to cross after about a dozen runs, so I grab a couple things, log, go do something else for a bit, log back in and do another batch. We've got almost 2 weeks before its finished.. so plenty of time.

	Ive been doing 8min solo runs or 3 min full group runs decided on a sentient gem as I don't have RL yet. The grind wasn't too bad - xp/min is good at that speed too.

We've got almost 2 weeks before its finished.. so plenty of time. You're doing better than I am. I ran it 3 times with different toons to decide which class and level was most efficient to grind the event with. My final conclusion for the most efficient class and level was: log out and never log in again.

	Does the sentient kobald gem ONLY come from the event or does it drop elsewhere? I kind of want one because having a kobald talk to me would be funny. I picked the hopeful gem and the lady who voices it fucking terrifies me. AND the shit she says is borderline retarded...

	Do not try the patience of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger. We are dreamers, shapers, singers, and makers. We study the mysteries of laser and circuit, crystal and scanner, holographic demons and invocation of equations. These are the tools we employ, and we know many things. The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
