Took me 46 crystals...*sob* A week's worth of effort...or is it two weeks now?
:)
-
hopefully i will get a chance to get one myself.. no time to gather crystals..
-
Thats one more then I have.... I don't have that kind of time.
I have checked out TW from time to time to see about getting in some damage on someone elses... no luck so far. Whats best damage against those Harbinger things? Maybe I'll run my archer down there...
-
I've worked up to about 15 blue crystals myself, just don't have the time here either. I might be able to farm a little bit more tonight. I really want one with 140 luck so the Harbringer just isn't an option.
The fifteen I have took only about an hour or so which really isn't too bad. I finally figured out a decent routine for hammering out as many quests as possible during each round of troll form.
Interesting tidbit, I was sitting there watching people recall in and out of the Hag location for a bit the other night. Most people coming in and out were in troll form most of the time and typical human/elf/gargoyle form some of the time which is exactly what I would expect. One person, however, was ALWAYS in harpy form. I watched them recall in and out at least a dozen times. I noticed that they did not have a costume on, they were holding one of the spellbooks. I'm wondering if there is some type of a bug there or if I was just overlooking something stupid.

Oh great, so the only way to get the 140 luck one is to do that "healing" thing with crystals?
Is there a step-by-step somewhere so I can see how futile it is?
-
Did anyone try this Spirit Speak trick to get more greenish corpses in less time ?
If this works it might speed up the process a lot ...

When you go into "Monster Form", it randomly picks a monster for you. Most often it is the Troll, but sometimes it could be a Gazer or a Stone (Blue) Harpy. There are several other Monster Forms as well, not just the Troll.
As far as finding Souls to Harvest, the harder the Dungeon Level is, the faster the red lights spawn. Mark some runes in different locations on levels 3 and 4. First, no one seems to go there and second, the lights most likely will re-spawn on your next go around. I have seen most people follow the same path: they recall to the Dungeon Entrance, walk in and collect their 5 lights and then recall out to come back again thru the Dungeon Entrance. Think of where there are harder monsters to kill, like the lowers levels of Deceit where Liches and Lich Lords spawn, in Hythloth where the Demons spawn, etc. One word of caution, you need to watch your timer carefully, as you do not want to Polymorph back into Normal form with a bunch of Lich Lords around you. Once, they see you turn back to your normal self, they will know it is you when polymorhed and attack you on sight, which forces you to lose concentration and turn Normal again. It is also helpful if you can carry a couple of runes with you and if you fill your Soul Harvester up and still see "lights" close by, then mark a rune before recalling back to the Hag's House, so you can grab those without walking too far.

Yes, the only way to get a 'Conjuror's Robe' with 140 Luck on it, is to cure one of the Gypsies and receive it as a reward of thanks...
If you listen to Grizelda the Hag, when she first tells you about curing someone afflicted, she says it most likely will take 30, 35, 40 or more (or something like that). She tells you the longer the person has been afflicted, the more blue crystals it will take to "cure" them. There is no magic number. It takes anywhere from 30-50 Crystals to cure one of the Gypsies.
-
To have a 50% chance of getting a 'Conjuror's Robe' without the one 140 Luck, you must kill a Harbinger and do a minimum amount of damage to him (if you are in a party). The easiest way to solo a Harbinger and give you the best chance of getting the 'Robe' as a Monster drop is to have a "Positive" Karma" creature in the game help you kill it. Or rather, you help it kill it. Before they fixed it (which makes no sense why they did), you could summon a Harbinger in the Abyss right next to the 'Renowned Pixie' and she would beat the snot out of it for you, without taking very much damage. My trick now is to head over to the Ethereal Fortress (Ilshenar Spirituality Gate through the Spider Cave) and find a room that has at least 2-3 Ethereal Warriors in it. Even better if one is a Paragon. Invis or hide your toon, then summon the Harbinger and the Ethereal Warriors will take it down for you. Other Ethereal Warriors will fly in from other rooms to join the fight. Best place to summon it is on the roof or top level. Make sure you get some damage in as well! Sit back, watch the battle, get some good hits in, and then swoop in and collect your prize!

That could be what it was then although the person was definitely a normal harpy not a Stone Harpy and I also watched this over the course of about 20 minutes which is FAR longer than one round of transformation thus this person would have had to have been transformed into the harpy multiple times. I don't know how else to transform into a harpy though, unless you can do it with magery.
It's probably nothing, just wanted to throw it out there though just in case.

It works 100% for sure. I've gotten two white things off a single corpse doing this, though not often. When I do the quest I try to get 8-12 of the smaller white things so I can do 2-3 runs in a row.
-
What is this spirit speak thing of which you speak?
:)
-
Grass the corpse, Spirit Speak to change the corpse to another color and re-Grass the new corpse.
Rinse and repeat.
-
For really quick Corporeal Residue I head down to the Rat Man nest just inside Ice Dungeon's entrance, Good fast spawn and easy kills. They seem to drop lots of the Residue. I was able spend about 20 minutes down there and get 12 residue. Enough for 3 transformations in a row.
I played for 2.5 hours last night and got 45 Blue 18 Red and 1 Yellow.
-
Thanks for that bit of info brian that was very informative and not coded. +1 karma for that little bit.

brilliant!
-
I was able to get a few robes but I cannot seem to gather the strength up to do any more. Especailly now that you can buy 50 crystals for 10 mil on atl. That is worth, the item, time, and minutes wasted back in your life!
-
My guess is that price will be going up in the months after the event is over, I'm going to keep watch on this one. Hopefully I'll be able to go for a couple hours tonight and scoop up enough blue's to get my first robe.

-
I was wonderig that too... but considering I have gotten the lesser robe (without 140 luck) off 1 in 2 harbingers over the course of about 12 bingers, i am unsure how much it will actually go up. Luck sucks and never seems to be working correctly and all the pvp mods that are desired are on these lesser robes that are plentiful.
-

It is also unconfirmed by me I've just heard it being discussed.
My Halloween quest toon is my tamer and he has no Spirit Speak.

Luck is one of those things that people chase without any really good reason. Case in point: Leurocian's Mempo. Luck is a shiny, shiny object that everyone wants if they can get it.
To a certain extent, luck *does* work. Therefore, for a robe that doesn't sacrifice anything while it adds an extra 55 points to the luck ceiling, people will pay a metric ton of pixel gold and call it a bargain.
I don't think 30M is right, but it's probably not much lower than that...provided you elites aren't hoarding the secret to a massive stash...
:)
-
A crap ton of robes would be nice wouldn't it....

It's becoming more and more apparent to me that you WAY overestimate the power of SUO Elite status. If I were to venture a well-educated guess I would say that the UO-richest people visiting these boards are probably still in Jr Member status.
Just a thought.
-
Really? Hmm...I just figured that with the FAF, the HWQ, Full CLAw, etc you all would have several hundred million stashed away. I sort of forgot that scripting can be an end unto itself.
For example...why waste weeks building a full auto Ant Quest runner if not for the fun of it? It's certainly not going to make me rich, but it is so satisfying to see that toon churn out powder!
:)
-
Some us elites get lazy ..
I know ive never Run any of those scripts myself personally.
So just cuase the beach is in your backyard doesnt mean you actually walk on it.
And yea for me its more fun creating scripts than running others... but i also do like to see those piles of gold... the delema.

Just want to point out - haven't I already mentioned I'm addicted to t-mappers and building new chars on new shards?
Nuff said ;)

INTERVENTION!!!!
-
Yep NOBama...and you see that I am seldom even around my home shard, building chars for me is prolly one of my more fun things to do in UO. Yeah, I have plenty of gold on a couple shards...but I like building toons! Why else would I have 4 imbuers already??
-
And I'm *not* addicted to fishing. Can't be!
what the!
i thought fishing was so 2 months ago :P

Come on over to Pacific! We need some more cool people here. The Shard is dying and needs a kick in the butt to get it rejuvenated again!
OK, I have to say it -- Devs! Come on 50 Blue Crystals...! I am not a Massochist -- "You want special Robes with Mana Regen and Luck? Dance for me you little puppets! DANCE! Let's see how many times we can make you go around in circles driving you crazy for items' obsession!"
ACK...!

I am addicted to CAMPING and HERDING. I have these skills on all my toons atleast one time over. Long LIVE HERDING !!!!!!!!!

-
And, back on topic:
Thanks to very helpful people on this board, I managed to get a second and third robe. I'm spent.
I still think 50 was stupid overkill.
:)
-
Well I got my 1st one on sonoma !! :)
-
Woo hoo! Congrats!
Sell it to me?
:)
-
i jsut went ahead and purchased one with luck one without from a player vendor.. no time to run around the treadmill
-
I bought a luck one on DF for 4mills, was psyched. The guy gave me a great price because he needed the $ quickly, right place right time!
-
I got my second Garb now on Sonoma. Now wondering can you still get the non luck ones from the harbringer? Or was yesterday the last day?
-
Yes it will still drop from harb.
-
WOO HOO!
I am sooooooo glad it is over and done with. It was driving me crazy! No more Pumpkins -- now on to the
T U R K E Y S ! (not you guys)!
-
Gooble Gooble !!! Hey I ressemble that remark !!
-
Do the Yellow crystals drop a cloak every time .. or whats the drop rate on those... i have about 20 i think.
-
I think I got like 10 of the ones with luck and 6 or 7 of the ones without so far.
Not every time EN. I think I got 4 or 5 out of 20
-

Out of 10 crystals I did on Saturday at the Etheral Fortress, I received 6 Cloaks.
-
Ohhhh...ethereal fortress...nice idea.
:)
-
If they are still spawning, someone grab me online and help me get one/two... I could use them for the MR.
-
You still get robes off of the Harbinger, but I'm not sure about the gypsies.
