Ice games.

[squishwizzy]

This is probably my first attempt at the ice festival thing, with skating, jumping, and so on.

Honestly, I don't get it.

No one at Bogwater tavern. Lots of people trying the harbor jump, but I've noticed the staggering of the coins does not line up with any sort of arc. As uninitiated as I am with the whole ramp thing - outside of having bad Sonic the Hedgehog flashbacks - I maybe pulled in about 4 white coins after about 20 minutes of trying. Forget trying to hit that stupid second ramp. If I go for the second jump I maybe far 1 or 2 coins along the way. The concentration of ready coins is to the side of the second ramp, not directly in line with it. Just ain't worth it.

However, hit a few select quests, and I can farm 40+ white tokens, and 1 blue token in the same amount of time (if not less).

So someone tell me: what's the incentive to do the jump thingie? Is Eveningstar any better?

The incentive is purple coins

[squishwizzy]

So, is there a ton of them after the third ramp or something?

First, you need skates.(20 white coins easily attainable from any quest with a fire bases NPC or just drop off the side of the first ramp and switching instances and doing it again til you get 20) Second you need buffs. Haste and Jump. And Third, you gotta be as stubborn as a four year old trying to get to the cookie jar on top of the fridge.

As far as i now, just one, but its the only way (besides AH) to get recipe 5, icy burst
(Im a lousy jumper so ive only SEEN it, never caught it)

Correct, there's only the one purple at the end. There's one on the tavern ramp as well, but that mechanic confuses me even more.

Technically you can also get purples coins from purple named fire creatures. That means only Velah as far as I know.

[goodspeed]

I thought people just jumped off the bar and collected purps. Enough so that turbine actually took the time to change and take out various solid objects to make it harder to jump from.

It's still done, I just think it's neat how odd things like that make the immediate hot patch.

[Pyrcador]

Must be still active, because there are people out there selling hundrets of purple coins at once.

[Blue100000005]

I have never done these cause they just seem like time wasters. And WHY do we need even more crafting in this game?

Is there anything of value that can come from hours spent doing it? Honest question.

For most people, the ability to put icy burst on a randomly generated weapon. If you have a weapon that is already very nice, adding the extra damage to it is very nice.

[wonko_the_sane]

I have found that with the proper arc, all the coins between the ramps can be grabbed every jump. It takes practice, of course.

I find it enjoyable to cruise the ramps now that I'm semi-proficient. Skating and jumping is fun.

There are many valuable rewards. Starting with the Icyburst of random weapons: as mentioned, who doesn't like making their weapons hit harder - these become some of the most powerful weapons for their level. Then the Icy Potions are valuable: Haste and Chillshield are usefull on all my characters and a 30-point Jump potion is just the drink sometimes. The stufff I don't personally need goes to the AH or the Trade Channel and gets turned into any valuable item in the game: tomes, essences, ingredients, plat, etc.

As far as I can tell, the Bogwater stuff requires a team. Not sure how that all works out when there is one purple coin for basically 4 people.

Which might explain why I saw no one there running it.

Maybe I'll give it another try tonight. There are very few random loot weapons that I've pulled in the past that I just have to keep around, so having Icy Burst isn't a real big deal to me. Now if I could put it on crafted weapons, Greensteel, and the like...well...that's different. I'd put up with the annoyance.

Because it was nerfed. Back in the day, one person could make it to the top then use a bracelet of friends to bring the rest of the team to the top (NOT an exploit, just players figuring out how to make a horrible game not horrible). Now, the bracelet has been "fixed" so it won't work.

So no one that knows the challenge will run it anymore.

This is one of the Dumbest things they did... did anyone ask marketing... I and others in my group would spend most of our TP on the bracelets... I spent more TP on the Ice Games buying bracelets than anything else during the year... their loss...

EDIT: and on top of that it would bring up to 12 strangers together that would have never played together if wasn't for jump for coins...

[FestusHood]

Squish, go to youtube and check out some videos that are there showing people doing the jump through all of the ramps to get to the purple coins. Just search risia.

Edit: here is a good video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WugvF21Oh1I. Some of the tips he gives i disagree with, namely the spinning the camera and rocking back and forth inside of the ramp. If you get stopped on a ramp, you don't need to spin the camera to rock. Just push forward and back, and hit the jump button while pushing bacward going up the back ramp, it will give you a nice little bump of inertia. With some practice you will be able to get the coin more than 1/5 of the time. In my case it's probably 9/10, or higher if i'm really in a groove.

'Masting' is generally the way that most people who can't make the direct jump from the tavern roof to the purple coin get them. This would be anybody who does not have abundant step, wings, or the air savant abillity.

Head down to the dock area where the boats are, and find the little building down there known as the boathouse. It has a rowboat hanging off the side of it. With a good jump buff, you can jump into the rowboat and then on top of the boathouse. From here, there are 2 ways to get coins.

Without skates, you can equip a featherfall item, and some sort of speed boost, and jump directly to several of the coins that are around there, including a blue coin which is straight ahead from the end. One thing is that you should only use a featherfall item for this, never cast the actual featherfall spell as it has an aoe effect, and anyone who is hit by it will not be able to use the ramps until it wears off. This is guaranteed to annoy some folks.

With skates, you can jump from the top of the boathouse onto the mast of a nearby ship which has an invisble platform inside of it which you can land on. To do this, you will need a jump score of at least 20, which is the absolute bare minimum, although 40 is better. You will need a speed boost of some kind, the house p pendant buff is ideal, although haste, expeditious retreat, and even longstrider will work. Once you learn to land on the mast, you can jump directly from there to the second ramp, while wearing skates and go from there. Do NOT use a featherfall item while sliding on the ramps, it will cause you to float too much, and you can only gain velocity when you are actually touching the ramp surface.

Now about the very first ramp in the series, the trick for most people is to have a featherfall item that you can easily swap off and on using a hotbar. I find boots ideal, which i can swap back and forth with the skates. Start at the very right corner at the top of the ramp and aim yourself at the very left corner at the bottom of the ramp. So you are travelling in a straight line, diagonally from right to left as you slide down the ramp. Have your skates equipped, and featherfall off. Step onto the start of the ramp and then do NOT press forward. Pressing forward when you first step onto the ramp will cause a little hop which will kill your momentum. Once you are firmly planted on the down ramp and sliding forward, then push forward, and hold it until you hit the end of the ramp and hit jump. Quickly swap to your featherfall item once you take off. Float toward the second ramp, and once you crest the front edge of it, switch your feather fall item off and your skates on, if using boots. |

All of the methods using skates and the ramps take some practice, and if you do not have the patience to learn it, you will have to consign yourself to buying or being given any number 5 recipes. Everything else can be gotten using only the blue coins which anybody can get with almost no practice using the method described above. And hey, if it was really easy it wouldn't be so rewarding to those who have learned how to do it.

If you are playing on a server i play on at the same time i am there i will be glad to give you some tutoring. Argonessen, Khyber, Orien, and to a lesser extent Ghallanda is where i will be doing this.

I'll probably do Masting as, to be honest, it is a lot faster and easier to farm some specific quests for white and blue coins (as I said in the OP, in less that 20 minutes, I had 40+ white coins, and a blue coin already in my inventory).

My halfling rogue is the toon I'll probably do the jump thing with (both Masting and the multiple ramps). He has Cannith Boots, and I compensate with a Haste potion, so the technique you described is perfect for him. And I can almost guarantee you his jump skill is already 40+. I'll try it for kicks, mainly for curiositiy's sake.

Plus, with the Rakshasa's Hide and Minos Legens, he kinda looks a little like Sonic the Hedgehog anyways...

[squishwizzy]

I have never done these cause they just seem like time wasters. And WHY do we need even more crafting in this game?

Is there anything of value that can come from hours spent doing it? Honest question.

All of the events in question, or just this specific event?

With Marbar, and Crystal Cove the answer is: HECK YEAH!!!! These events oftem produce loot that might be a little below epic items, but stand a little above most named items at level.

I was able to craft a whole set of robes for my wizzy - lvl 12, lvl 16, and lvl 20 - so that I could TR them into a PM. I did that over the course of the two events, along with those cloaks.

I was able to get a decent trinket for my rogue for trapsmithing, and decent armor for my fighter in Crystal Cove.

I see some stuff in there that might be nice for a TR, like eternal wands (I run about 3 wizzy toons). So it isn't a complete time-waster. I'm just figuring out how I can do this somewhat efficiently. If I can't be efficient, I'll just move on.

I have an end-game figter who has bee unable to find a decent cold weapon. I've got an elemental bane greataxe already. Adding Icy Burst (because the one thing that I believe universally damages elementals is cold damage) would make that thing a decent weapon finally.

Of course, if it is impossible to get purple coins...I'll just move on.

On Ghallanda i will be using my human spellsinger named Incensia. Wednesday through Friday i can only get on the computer between about 1 am and 3 pm US central time. I will make a point of doing this on Ghallanda tonight.

Sorry I'm usually on at night EST.

Anyways, I looked up some of those videos, and figured out the Masting thing. I managed to get to the upper platform twice before my skates ran out. Never got a purple though. No buig deal at this point.

I will say this: I don't know what they've done recently with the client, but this festival is almost unplayable. I either get mini-lag, where my toon freezes for a half-second, then ends up overshooting something. Or the other thing I'll get is what I call "course correction," where you moving forward, and then you get about a half-second of being re-positioned back at an old location, and then re-positioned again at where you were supposed to be a half-second before. This is a recent thing that's been occuring since one of the updates, and it drives me nuts. In most cases it is mildly annoying. In the case of the ices festival, it almost makes it unplayable with the thin margins for error. So, I'm basically gonna walk away from the jumping part of this. Getting the timing down is bad enough, having to do this like your hammered at a bar? It ain't worth the reward.

[FestusHood]

Some of the little graphic aberrations you describe have been there since i started doing the risia games. One of the worst i find is that if i jump right at the very end of the ramp i seem to split into 2 realities. One where i go soaring into the air and another where i dribble off the end of the ramp and fall in the water. Guess which one ends up sticking? The workaround for this is to not jump at the very end of the ramp. The best place i find is actually at about the midway point of the up ramp. Sometimes even earlier depending on how much velocity i have at the time.

Like most videogames you can continue to steer yourself even while you are in the air. You can use this to control your velocity and positioning. If you pull back, you will tend to almost stop your forward momentum, and then when you release to coast you will begin moving forward again.

[Willibold]

I'm glad its not just me getting the confusing stutter when jumping. I thought that it was my thumb slipping on my controller as it hasnt happened to me in the past. Thanks Squish for posting that....makes me feel a bit better. And explains why this year I havent been able to get any purples:(

Sorry, guess it is unpopular on these forums to have anything else in my life as a priority besides DDO. you got me there.

And ever notice how people that always refer tot he wiki act like it is the best thing ever? If this is a social game then why are people always referred to a website instead of being helped? VERY social there.

I cant help it if you are lazy.. it takes maybe 1 minute of your time to research something yourself. Yes i also work 50-70 hrs a week so yeah other priorities and i still take a few minutes to see whats new with ddo...

These are the DDO forums, so youre SUPPOSED to act as if there is nothing more important in your life, except of course if your point is better served by telling your opponent how DDO is not important at all.

[Blue100000005]

I just find it sad that these forums seem to be more of a place to tout your "superiority" while displaying repugnant social skills. I must ask where the mods are to weed out some of these people that are constantly rude to others.

With regards to the "too lazy" that seems to be the verbal equivalent of "im too lazy to offer my opinion" being that I was asking for a subjective response. I assume that the mighty wiki does not give subjectivity, like average amount of time to craft said item, or is it really worth the time compared to buying in the auction house. Perhaps some are unable to read the sub-text of my questions, so I will try to be more clear.

[Matuse]

Technically you can also get purples coins from purple named fire creatures. That means only Velah as far as I know.

I've heard (but not verified) that Arretreikos will drop a purple when he dies. If so, that's 2 per shroud run. And if Harry drops one, then so will Horoth.

I know for sure you get a purple killing the fire giant in the black dragon cave of the Tor.

Pretty sure there's at least one other, but its not coming to me.

[Drakos]

Must be still active, because there are people out there selling hundrets of purple coins at once.
I have collected 200 purples thus far this even without using the "bar jump" thing. Doing the ramp jumps is easy enough. I have limited myself to only collecting 50 purples a day (about 1 & 1/2 hours) to avoid getting to board with it.

First, have a decent jump and balance score.
Next unequip any featherfall item.
Jump from the shack roof to the ships mast, then to the second ramp, then over to the platform, finally third ramp to forth, and them to the purple.

Also, have the skates on....

[Drakos]

Yeah, I got a flawless Red Dragon Scale for a mere 2000 motes. Nice bit o' loot there.

[squishwizzy]

After a little practice, using the masting technique has yielded 2 purple coins. The toughest part is hitting the mast, and dealing with the mini-lag on the jumps. Another trick is that once you hit the platform, try to skate in a circle to build speed before you hit the second ramp on the way to the purple coin. That's what always kept me from making that second jump fully.

I would have gotten a third coin just I overshot it, and the rental on my current pair of skates ran out.

I tend to undershoot the ice platform than overshoot it. it has to do with that same lag I mentioned not recognizing a keypress. It is very annoying.

Now my hands hurt...

I'm still trying to get my head around how a reference to Mr. Krabbs and Spongebob started this long tale of woe.

I probably work as much as anyone here, and my time is at a definate premium. It doesn't take a whole lot to look up stuff on the wiki.

That whole "Internet" thing makes independant research kinda easy...

I want to mention that in my case, this is the first games in which i have had the Phiarlan pendant available, and it makes a world of difference.

To Squish, who mentioned above skating around on the platform to build speed, with the pendant this is completely unnecessary. Just slowly mosey up to the down ramp, and once you start going down push forward and hold it. Jump right around the 1/2 to 2/3 point of the up ramp and you will clear the distance every time with a minimum of midair adjusting.

Last time when i didn't have the pendant i was always concerned with how much velocity i had on the ramps but no more.

Also want to add that the UI change that they made which allows you to use actions while the mouse is over a UI element has made instance swapping to get 2 coins per jump doable for me. Just set it up before you leave the platform so all you have to do is click your mouse button at the moment of truth.

[Melondrop]

After the mast and the first ramp, try stopping in the corner of the ice block,
then turn around and jump straight up. You will get the light gravity buff for a second, then
push a little forward and "drop" into the ramp off the ice block..this will give you lots of momentum
to make it to the last ramp.
Its alot easier than trying to skate in a circle to build up speed.

Bogwater Tavern, once Turbine initiated the share feature of being in a party, no one that can get a purple coin in the harbor is going to be joining any parties, just so some other players can possibly get all the purples.

In the Harbor there is only one purple, but what you want to see is multiple harbor instances so you can really farm the purples.

To farm purples best, Turbine has placed the LIGHTER the AIR spots around the harbor. You will see people jumping from the mast of the ship and people jumping from Leaky Dinghy.

Even the normal ramp jumpers MUST use lighter than air spots to make the jump.

I guarantee that you can get more blues and whites from doing the boathouse jump, which is just blues and whites, than from any quest. When there are multiple instances, you can easily get 50 blues and 100 whites in one hours time.

The boathouse is the little building at the end of the dock, that has a boat on the side of it. You will see people on the roof either doing mast jumping or boathouse jumping.

To do the boathouse, you want feather fall and jump spell. Get in the middle of the roof or so, face AWAY from the dock. Towards the other ship over by the Irestone Inlet Quest. POUND your space bar key about eight times and then float(with feather fall) to the white and blue coin that you should see.

I just float up to the top mast and jump off there and use the wings from exalted angel to get the purple.

In addition to the icy burst kits, there's now a polar bear cub creature companion for sale for 10,000 motes. I must thank Turbine for doing this, as it seems half the population of Orien desperately wants to get that cub. Due to this, I've already made almost 4 million plat in the last 3 days simply selling motes. Since the last time Risia was here, I was jumping for icy burst kits for myself, and the time before that I was learning to kind of make the jumps, the massive demand for motes has been greatly appreciated by my bankroll. :)
