Viamontian Heritage Masks!

Elizabetha Lazulae of HG reports: "Hi, Maggie! The new Viamontian mask maker, Trilaine di Ricard, stands in Sanamar at 72.1N, 61.2W.

Trilaine di Ricard tells you, "Greetings, I am Trilaine di Ricard. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance. If you bring me the complete mask from one of those strange and gifted creatures, the Virindi, I can forge for you a piece of Regalia worthy of the ancient Viamont Heroes of lore!"
You allow Trilaine di Ricard to examine your Broken Virindi Observer Mask.
Trilaine di Ricard tells you, "Hmmm... With the damage to this mask, it is not suitable for the creation of an honorable and exceptional piece of regalia."

Oh, well, worth a try...."

You give Trilaine di Ricard Virindi Mask.
Trilaine di Ricard tells you, "A fine mask, which will be even finer soon enough. Here you go, the first in my line of Heraldic Regalia, the Red Bull!"
Trilaine di Ricard gives you The Red Bull.

Absolution of FF poses in The Red Bull, The Boar of Cinghalle, The Stag of Bellenesse, and the Royal Bull of Sanamar! Thanks also to Ss,

Pumpkin Buffers Return!

Elizabetha Lazulae of HG reports: "The pumpkin buffer is back - and he's brought friends! There seems to be one in most towns (I've attached a picture of the one outside Sanamar), they cast level seven buffs and drop marshmallow ghosts and other tasty treats."

Portal Guardian says, "Back in my day we didn't have Pumpkin Buffers. We ran around as Cabbage Knights and did battle with other kids. The ones left standing in the morning were declared victorious and got to loot the unconscious ones."

Thanks also to Wembley fraggle from WE, Nidg XXX!

Elizabetha Lazulae of HG report: "Hi, Maggie. One more update from this months patch: The festival vendor in Glenden Wood is back, and as well as cheerful sparklers to celebrate Dereth's seventh anniversary you can buy a Scarecrow Stand. Simply add this to a Jack o' Lantern (the sort you carve yourself, rather than the loot sort) to get your very own Scarecrow, and scare irritating monsters away from your home! What better to hook next to your new Zombie Butler?"

Scarecrow Stand

An almost complete Scarecrow used to scare monsters away from your house.
Use this stand on a Jack o'Lantern to make a Scarcrow for your house.
Value 500
Burden 400

 


Tremendous Monouga Backpack!

Nemesis the Darkmage of FF reports: "Heya Jackcat, I went to Glendenwood and purchased T-mon backpack straps from the festival vendor.

I headed out to vod and killed me a TM. I found a TM skull and combined the straps onto the skull and it made a TM backpck that carries 24 slots as a normal backpack. This is what it said when I combined the two pieces:"

You carefully connect the series of straps to the skull covering the two smaller eyeholes and placing the backpack flap over the large one. You have successfully crafted a T-mon Backpack!

Thanks also to Magicpipe II of TD, Skeksis of VT!

Bats Return!
Surrounded from WE reports: "Hello Maggie, usually there are 2 butterflies at our mansion - they turned into bats now!"
 


Night Club!
Hirad of WE reports: "Hi Maggie, I killed a couple of the Pumpkin Buffers that have reappeared in Holtburg, Shoushi, Sanamar and Glendon Woods and one of them dropped a "7th Anniversary Night Club Ticket". I took it to one of the Night Club Attendants (Sanamar in my case), and she teleported me to the club. There are a couple of merchants there selling junk.

It's quite a big dungeon, but to get to the dancefloor you have to go past the lugian bouncer and down stairs to the basement. Don't forget to pick up your "Night Club Shirt" on the way in. It's a single quest pickup, so only one per person.

Also, if you log out while in the night club, you will log back in at your lifestone. I discovered this the hard way, so now need to find another ticket :)"

Level VII Gems!
Samantha II of MT reports: "The new component for the level 7 gems is Hyssop. I have a 98% chance of success with buffed skill at 424."

 

Zombie Butlers!
Nastazio of TD reports: "This new patch brings Zombie Butlers from housing! How do you make one? It's quite easy! You go to lower levels areas, such as right outside hub, and run around till you find gravestones. You then double click them to make the "old Zombies" spawn. You kill, and loot body parts. You'll need 2 legs, 2 arms a Torso, and a head. Once you have all of these body parts, take your butt to Glenden Wood and hand them to Ulgrim in the tavern."

New Quest - Ruschk Tasks!
Dakmor Kavu of HG sends these details: "Hey Maggie! Here are some more goodies from the patch that I thought you and your fans might enjoy :-P

Torgash & Kalakh (NPCs)  - 94.0N by 45.9W

Talk to Torgash to Recieve the message:
A chill passes through your body, numbing you to the core. For a single moment, you feel like you're going to die from the sensation alone. The Ruschk opens his mouth; his speech comes out in but a whisper... "[player name]"
In your mind, the following information becomes apparent to you. The Ruchk standing before you wishes you to kill 30 of the Viamontian Knights in the valley below. Once this is complete, he wishes you to retrieve a vial from the westernmost Knight Encampment in the valley, near 93.5N, 51.4W. You get the impression that the vial is in a small building, toward the back of the encampment.

Upon completion of the task:
The Ruschk looks greatly pleased. He presses his right fist into his left hand and bows to you. The Rushk then looks at you quizzically, seeming to wonder if you wished to hunt more knights.
You have earned 8,700,000 experience.
(Level 247)

Timer: none

Talk to Kalakh to recieve the message:
The Ruschk looks you up and down, like he is gauging your strength. With a nod of approval, he stares into your eyes, and with a wash of deathly cold, the following information becomes apparent in your mind:
The Ruschk wishes you to enter the Temple of the Black Spear, located at 95.5N, 51.8W, and retrieve a small totem, important to the followers of Grael. Once you bring the totem back to him, he will reward you for your strength.

The dungeon is 130+ to enter, neither tieable nor recall able. Its filled with Mukkir and Rushk, which get progressively tougher, with Shadows appearing later on. When you get down to the room with the surface portal, keep going down past. Room with totem is a little ways on.

Black Spear Ice Totem

A small Ruschk totem, seemingly formed completely out of blackened ice. There is a palpable aura of menace and cold flowing from the totem at all times.
This item cannot be sold.
Value 0
Burden 200
Special Props Attuned, Bonded

 

You give Kalakh Black Spear Ice Totem.
The Ruschk looks at the Totem with obvious contempt, and drops it unceremoniously in his pouch. Then, with a look which seems to beam with pride, he claps you on the back. With obvious effort, he speaks in a barely audible whisper.

Kalakh tells you, "Well... Done."
The Ruschk, Kalakh, awards you the title of "Friend to the Frostglaive."
You've earned 29,175,980 experience


Much thanks again to Yeti Ginsu for the company and much appreciated firepower on the quest!"


New Quest - Ruschk Tasks (alternate?)!

Ninavie and Zegeger of HG report:

Run from eastwatch, two npc's at 93.2N 48.2W.

Arialle du Bellenesse tells you, "Greetings. If you have the time, I have a mission that you may be interested in. To the northwest, at 95.5N, 51.8W , there is a Temple to that accursed Grael. Inside, the Ruschk seem to have created a Totem capable of empowering Grael himself."
Arialle du Bellenesse tells you, "This Totem cannot be allowed to stay in their possession. They could possibly even use such a thing to overcome the splitting of Grael into Aspects, and we'd have to battle a fully empowered Grael, all over again."
Arialle du Bellenesse tells you, "Retrieve this Totem for me, so we can seek a way to prevent these from aiding Grael, as well as removing it from their possession, and I will reward you for your efforts.

Temple of the Black Spear, restricted to level 130+

Commander Rylane di Cinghalle tells you, "Greetings. If you have the time, I have a set of tasks you could aid me with. I'm here to help thin out the number of Ruschk in the valley below, and to gain one of their Totems for further study."
Commander Rylane di Cinghalle tells you, "If you were to kill, say... 30 of the Ruschk in the valley, and then acquire one of their smaller Ice Totems from the encampment at 95.5N, 42.3W, I'd be more than happy to reward you for your efforts."
Commander Rylane di Cinghalle tells you, "I'd kill the Ruschk first. That should throw them into enough disarray that you should be able to grab the Totem unnoticed."
