I haven't been following the current storyline with the Shadowlords and im kinda confused on the new patch. It says the rewards are ToT minors, doom arties, and the new cloaks, but im confused on where and what we kill for these. Also not sure about the cloaks of corruption (wasnt here for that) and what u turn in with those for the new rewards. little help on this?

Rn,
Your not alone in being confused. It seems many people like the current Event Arc but I think the 'Team' does a piss poor job of informing the players what the hell is going on. I honestly don't think anyone has a clue as to what is going on. The Blackrock Detector Event started on March 29, 2008...so it's been well over a year now. Gimme a friggin' break....Just bring Stygian Abyss in already! ::)
I'm guessing that these artifacts they are talking about are going to be received fighting the Shadow Lords similar to the Moonglow Invasion in the Rift where Kronus's Blackrock Detector machine went haywire and opened the Rift.
And then you have the 3 threads (Thought, Life, Fate) which I imagine will come into play at some point in creating the Cloaks mentioned on the herald.
But it's just speculation on my part. I loaded up on Cloaks of Corruption and Threads. I'll be trying to get my hands on as many of those Cloaks of Power as possible. The other Cloaks don't have much value imo. But that Cloak of Power is a keeper. ;)
-
The cloak of life isn't too bad either, basically an HP robe but only 3 HP but it has 1 HP regen on it which isn't too shabby.

I'd be a little careful @#. your user name here and on stratics is nearly the same, and the post is exactly the same. just an fyi in the event you're (like me) paranoid about what people may look at in a post, and cross-reference it elsewhere. that can lead to trouble often times.

I can change your display name if you want, just PM me.

I would like mine to display Red or Green :)
I prefer Red....
plzxthx
lol
-
I'm from New Mexico and I definitely prefer Red. (Red chili that is.)
-
I have an Xclio Account over on Stratics that I enjoy using to mess with the anti scripters :)
-
I'd really like to know what threads create what cloaks... if it's set up that way.
According to poster on stratics who has been testing on TC it's 10 Threads for 1 Cloak. Farming threads wasn't the funnest of things to do if I recall correctly but I'm pretty sure you can still get them in Magincia.
I know your going to want a 100% Poison Weapon for fighting the corrupted Souls which drop the Threads of Fate. Using Poison weapon will make it alot easier for those of you planning on stocking up on threads prior to the event.
I should get my lazy butt down to TC to test out myself. But if anyone finds out how the cloak system is set up regarding what threads create what cloak please come and post your findings and I shall do the same. :)
-
I was informed that ONLY 10 threads of LIFE will be combined with the Cloaks of Corruption, then you will RANDOMLY get one of the robes. Apparently the threads of Fate and Thought are useless. If anyone can confirm this, that would be great!
-
I went to magencia and di d not get any drops at all the other night after the patch i use to get a thread every exocism, and SS> never got one killing corrupts though
-
i was having issues trying to get them a few nights ago as well, I killed for about 30-45 min and not a single thread.
-
from about 45 mins of farming mag this morning i have 16 fate, 131 thought, and 34 life.
pretty easy, bring a necro for sure. use exorcism by the foresakens, fire spells on corrupts, and SS near the resetless
-
where do we turn in the threads/cloaks? im gonna go try this out on test
-
they said there would bee seers at 3 locations in patch notes. one location was yew bank the other was , forgive spelling, lycuum and there was one more i cannot remember. check patch notes that were posted on herald and it will tell u the three locations. they are in grey robes and have seer in their name.
-
ah yup, thanks. went to TC and found out the following.. In front of the yew bank the seer takes 10 Threads of Life/1 Cloak of Corruption and gives out the Cloak of Life. In front of the Lycaeum, seer takes 10 thought/1 cloak of corruption and gives out the Cloak of power.In Serp's by the tinkers/stables he takes 10 fate/1 cloak for cloak of Death. not sure how to get the cloak of Silence
-
Well if we can't turn in 2 out of 3 threads I'm going to be mad as hell. I spent a considerable amount of time farming ALL 3 threads to insure I would have enough for all my cloaks of corruption. The one thing I don't like doing is wasting my time. >:(
If the UO Dev team bothered to inform the players what would be needed prior to the event then I wouldn't have a bone to pick with them.
I too eagerly wait some clarification on this thread issue.
-
Ah Okay! Thanks Rn for doing the legwork on that because I was getting real mad reading this thread. :)
As usual I rush to judgement and condemnation. I should give the UO Dev Team the benefit of the doubt I guess but given their track record it's a hard thing to do. :P
Thanks again Rn! Your a good man!
-
Is it me or did the first herald post about the Cloaks have the Cloak or power listed at 2 Str 2 Int and 2 Dex. Now I read the latest update and it's 1 of each stat.
All of a sudden I'm much less enthused about this Cloak hoopla. :(
Alot of the time your way better off not turning in items in these events and just holding onto them for the novelty. Then later on down the line you have a keepsake that may or maynot have some value.
I'm reconsidering turning in any of my cloaks of corruption because the cloaks all seem worthless to me.
-
I just turned in for a Cloak of Power and it is indeed 2 of each stat Str, Dex, Int! I must be blind and getting old and senile ???
Huzzah! I might be participating in this event afterall!
-
Anyone know how to get the Cloak of Silence, from what I saw it looks like the EMs will be giving them out but any other way?
-
Is it possible to get more stings?
*EDIT.2*
I did some checking, apparently you can get more threads in Magincia.
Thread of Thought: These make the cloak of Power when you trade in a cloak of corruption and ten threads at the Seer in front of the Lyceaum near Moonglow. To get them kill(?!) the forsaken by casting exorcism on same screen as a forsaken soul. Requires 99 spirit speak. Drop rate is around 1/2. Corrupted Souls appear not to like you when you farm thread of life. They will run accross the screen to show their displeasure, skipping over other, closer targets to get to you. Best to use a stealth necromancer and bring a melee character with you to deal with the Corrupted. They tend to eat my necromancer.
Thread of Life: Can be turned in for the Cloak of Life (+3 Str, +1HPR -- sort of sucky IMHO) Use spirit speak skill near a restless soul. You just need a successful attempt at SS, so you can do it with relatively little skill. Corrupted don't seem to care for this either.
Thread of Fate: Can be turned in for the Cloak of Death (+3 each to DCI, HCI, SDI) kill corrupted souls. They appear to have no poison resist and not many hit points, but they hit pretty hard, and sometimes they will stand at a distance and cast. They appear to use magery spells and have a hard melee hit that can armor ignore for up to 40 pts. My sampire doesn't have any problem with them. Drop rate seems slower than on the other two.
-
Anyone figure out how to use a script to hunt corrupted souls? I can't seem to get C2s hunter to target them. They share a id with both other kinds of ghostie in Magincia IJB, and my toon just runs the rail without seeing any of them.

So i was reading the patch notes.. (must have been bored) and notice this snippet
"Cloaks of Command also become available in faction strongholds "
Anyone have anymore information on these.. what stats .. what takes to get etc...
Never mind .. i found it myself
Cloak of Command:
* Faction item, no rank requirement
* Can only be used in Felucca
* Can be used once a day to summon a faction monster
* Minax: Ogre Lord
* CoM: Wisp
* TB: Silver Serpent
* SL: Daemon
* Summoned monster will last for one hour
* Displays lifetime remaining on item properties
* Cloak must be worn in order to be used
* Summoned monsters act the same as monsters/animals from the "Summon Creatures" command with the following details:
* Requires one control slot
* Cannot friend/unfriend or transfer
* Summoning requires the same base requirements as the "Summon Creatures" spell (mana/skill, chance of success), but doesn't consume reagents
* The Ogre Lord's summoned version, however, is *much* weaker than its wild counterpart
