I got a dex aug in 4 runs. Fun a couple of times. Then kinda lame. But, oh well./


Agreed. The things that bothers me are low tier coins, in 6 runs I got enough gold coins for 2 augments but barely enough silver for 1. All in all I think the only actual issue with this even is the low spawn rate for scourge champions.

I'll give this event a 6 on the Artoriasmeter(what is the equivalent for a pass in America? C+? B-?)

Yeah the silver are the limiting ingredient.

Is it really 1:1 trade in for gold : silver or is that a typo? Because that's stupid af if so.

Best farming place: A Small Problem
10 minutes on HE (with a capped char) = 30 keys & 15 gold coins
Since this was mentioned on the motherboard you may do it now before it will be nerfed.

The event is not super grindy and is the same for new players and long time vets.  No benefits for PL's etc because the difficulty level is low.  It's just a light event that offers a variety of prizes.  It eats up a little time without being stressful.  Those kind of events are fine to have.  Sometimes it's cool for an event to be Night Revels intense.  Sometimes it is fun for it to be the mimic hunt or this. 

Especially if there are more events being run.  I think it would be good for DDO to have more events on the calendar that run for brief periods.

That's really cool. DDO has needed more events like this.

The "A Small Problem" quest I went to in House P had no snow in it.

What quest is that a picture of?

I have 5 such accounts.

The problem comes if SSG gets their shit together and patches it before my lunch break.

So they have to be "scrubbed" through the shared bank before they become unbound, but then they are tradable, got 15 on my main now. Wonder what else that trick works on?

    Frozen Keys have had to be temporarily removed from the DDO Store. We will extend the Snowpeaks Festival, and we will announce the new end date later.

Small Problem seems to be a bit broken.  No more water elemental spawns, quest can not be completed.

So it only took e 4 runs to get 20 gold coins. Unfortunately the aug cost 20 gold AND 100 silver. Who'd a thunk silver would end up being the gateway? Still typical SSG: every new crafting system theres always only 1 ing that matters.

All tolled though I like this event.

Ok so final report: 15 keys netted me 77 gold, 201 silver, and fucking 1058 copper. probably could have gotten 100 more coppy but they are useless for everything. But still, enough for 2 augments in about an hour. And honestly I enjoy the slide. This is probably my favorite event now that one in estar is shut.

I honestly didn't mind the slide myself. The only issue I have with it is the loading lag at the first bend. If you just hold W and zerg it, you'll miss about 3-5 coins because they don't load half the time.

They must have changed that, I was logging in to my 5 alt guild accounts, and dropping them right in the cargo hold chest.

Didn't have to scrub them like toolkits at all.


All in all they did allright with this event. I don't feel like I need to rip my eyes out, there are a couple things I want to get, and if you can't be bothered with it, sell those mats on the ah.

Hadn't touched risia in years,so a vast improvement.

I just hope they add something else for bronze coins because I am not standing at the rewards vendor and getting 1200 cookies. I would settle for a 100:1 for silver coins.

it seems that the slide was supposed to be a challenge?  like it was set up to earn stars and i was hoping they would do a patch to fix it this morning Sad
if it gave some EXP and you got bonus mats for speed runs, I would burn through the 136 keys i have...  as it is, i'm done for this year.
