So Last night I had the distinct pleasure of having the famous Garth in my VON raid which I was leading.

Needless to say, I think most people in the raid were after the Kundarak Delving boots. So like a good six month subscriber, I ate one of the loot gems I purchased from the Turbine store prior to beginning the raid (I have sipped the koolaid).

Pretty good raid group, only one or two new people in the raid. For the new people, please buy yourself a microphone or headset with microphone. There is no reason in the second decade in the 21st century not to have one.

So, we take down Velah pretty easily and my dear friend Gemstone/Phidius/SQL pulls the boots and apologized to the group by informing us he was taking them. At least he was patient enough so the rest of the group can view the boots. Second time I have seen the boots drop in the 20 or so runs.

I wasn't personally worried about the boots because I thought hey it's my 20th run. The boots have to be an option.

Well, I HATE YOU TURBINE!!!!!!!!!! Did I get the boots as reward option? NO.

All I got was "junk" and two +2 tomes. Luckily, the one tome was a +2 DEX tome....

BUT I BLAME YOU GARTH. TURBINE can go..... WAH, WAH..

Back to grinding VON 1-6 for the next 10+ weeks... I figure, my 40th will be near Christmas. Wouldn't it be nice to pull the boots for Christmas?

Unless Turbine wants to play Grinch....

sorry to hear you didn't get the boots - did you remember to diplome Barrow d'Kundarak before asking him for your end reward?

Never knew you can use diplomacy on a quest reward person.

Garth has cast a charm spell on you. No known sorcery, black magic, diplomacy, bribe, dancing with nothing worn around or donation to Olladra will ever persuade Barrow d'Kundarak to give you the boots.

If it helps, it was Gemstone's very first dragon run :D

Oh, and don't tell Sql that you thought I was him...

On the bright side, you only need to grind von5-6 for the next 55 days (or more) for your 40th run, rather than von1-6 :D

I've been there... and i wanted the sword but i figured even if i didn't get it i would get the boots... Not.

Man i was so disappointed, was my first 20th run too and that made it a lot worse... seriously considered quitting.

Nah, they won't release this change to VON until long after Phlor has pulled the boots...

I hope they don't. I enjoy running VON 4 trying to get the Bloodrage Symbiot to drop.

I already have one but it would be nice to pick up another one.

I just know if Turbine removed the full flagging, I would probably never run the 4 quests before it.
