It looks like there is a new mount in the Night Revels.

Omg I'm really impressed with those pics, the horse!

Is that a shield in the 3rd pic or the back end of the horse?

Were there chests? I killed a couple, but when I looked around I never saw any chests. All I got was a crystal auto placed in my inventory same as they did when you killed a monster 'you loot 24 gold doubloons' ....

Pretty sure it's just a pic of the armor.

The horse is kinda "meh" if you ask me.

They're talking about the chests in the regular quests that dropped from the ghostly-looking champions.

Seeing a steed in a DDO festival is just fantastic. Thank you for adding the steed, cloak, and shield. That is really, really hopeful for the future.

I downloaded the images to zoom in and see the details and the new items are well done. I know a bunch of people who really love the Reaper Platemail. All of them will be riding that steed.

Nice addition of new things to go after this year. I still dream of getting the painted skeleton horse from LOTRO in DDO in a future Mabar event; but I'll definitely be farming out the new cosmetics and mount this year.

Loving the look of the mount! Great job on that :)

Quite like the cloak too but I so wish you had a full outfit for it, a lot like the one from the original Karate Kid movie that Johnny and co wear.

That's 1 fine steed indeed!

DDO is trying to give us carpal tunnel, but I love it! New augments in the Cove and new bling in Revels! Moar shinnies pls and TY!

EDIT! I know right? Very Thulsa Doom-esq. Next introduce evil alignments or get James Earl Jones to do a voice before he ages out. Or both for the win!

Is there not a new color of Reaper Plate cosmetic armor & cloak? I'm hoping for silver although there's a lot of other colors that would be cool and it seems pretty easy to do?

I look forward to those every year, and have been wearing them like 90% of the time on all my characters :(

They can just license his voice from Disney since he allowed them to preserve it forever in AI form :D

I want his voice on my Alexa....

JEJ: Good Morning, Saaluta, the coffee is brewing and it's time to get up....OMG!!! yes!!!

now I have to play Mabar this year to get the horse...darn you devs, darn you!! :)

Is there a reason why Revels doesn't grant legendary XP or is it an oversight? Events would be a great way to farm the army of toons some have to level 32 while grinding the mats for this event's gimmick (like the horse).

Very disappointed that this is the second event with higher cap that doesn't grant legendary XP.

Since he's still alive it would be great to get something custom from JEJ. Make a whole FTF quest around his voice or special raid or challege.

Once that's figured out they can try and get Samuel L. Jackson next.

Sound all around makes DDO allot of fun to play!

Ran it 4 levels below my level and brought in 40 chocolates and 5 keys. Not to shabby.

I couldn't find the Midnight Draught in the store... Is this an oversight or is it not going to be available for purchase... I checked the vendor in Delara's graveyard and his link to the store doesn't bring up anything...

I ran the graveyard challenge at lvl 31 with a lvl 31 character and got no exp. :(
The experience report window did show that I should get exp though.

Would love if they redid the background music to something a bit 'scarier' or set the mood better. I'm guessing the current music is supposed to be suspenseful and it kind of is but ........ Something that set's the tone better like the seafaring ditty in Crystal Cove would be nice.

Same here 0xp on a 31 at cr37, not worth running for chocs and candies only on non capped toons it seems

Is there a reason for no lvl 32 versions of Spectral Longbow, Spectral Great Crossbow, Spectral Great Axe, Spectral Warhammer and The Spectre Deflector ? :confused:

Well clearly because they, like most of the years didn't have time to work on any new things or updates for the event... except for cosmetics of course. They didn't even do anything for the new level cap :rolleyes:

the chest mechanic is great the loot was just lackluster

If the loot was adjusted they would be awesome

Is it something wrong again or do I calculate wrong? I put all of my Night Revels candies in the Crafting Storage. After collecting enough candies to get (from scratch) the lvl 32 Cloak Of Night, I went to Joe Candymaker. After getting the lvl 16 version I realised I had not enough candies. The problem is with dark chocolate pieces and almonds. I started with 2981 chocolates and 644 almonds. I am left with 8 chocolates and 278 almonds. My calculations (and this table (https://ddowiki.com/index.php?title=Item:Cloak_of_Night&oldid=526780)) show that the lvl 16 cloak should cost me 360 chocolates and 90 almonds only (in total). Anyone?

Did you leave all your ingredients in Crafting Storage when you went to get the cloak or did you pull the specific amount out and put it in an ingredients bag? Things like this and crafting can get twitchy if you have your mats split between your inventory and the crafting storage?


Maybe dump what's on your character back into crafting storage and recheck your remaining mats?

Heledore
10-20-2022, 08:06 PM
OfElectricMen, I understand what you mean (I've gone through this split-thing during Crystal Cove event :p ), unfortunately that's not the case.

Maybe I screwed it up by putting all the candies in a bag before <del>re-login</del> restarting the game.

OfElectricMen asked about the location of your ingredients because, when used remotely for crafting, Shared Crafting Storage is known to destroy ingredients. Never, under any circumstance, craft remotely using ingredients in Shared Crafting Storage.

We need more information. Where, exactly, were your ingredients located at the time you attempted to make the cloak? In your character backpack? In an Ingredients Bag inside your character backpack? In shared crafting storage? Some in your backpack, some in shared crafting storage?

As I've said, all of my candies were in the Crafting Storage.


(...) Shared Crafting Storage is known to destroy ingredients. Never, under any circumstance, craft remotely using ingredients in Shared Crafting Storage.

:scream: I had no idea.
I found it [keeping all ingredients in there] the most convenient method.


PS Sorry for multiple editing

DDO is the Game of Gotchyas. I am sincerely sorry.


I found it [keeping all ingredients in there] the most convenient method.

To my knowledge, storing ingredients in Shared Crafting Storage is fine. The problem arises when crafting using Shared Crafting Storage as a remote source for ingredients.

If you need to craft something that requires ingredients in your Shared Crafting Storage, manually move those ingredients to your backpack before crafting. Go to the crafting station and feed in ingredients manually. Do NOT allow the crafting station to automatically pull in a stack of ingredients from Shared Crafting Storage. This can happen if you have one stack in your backpack and another stack in Shared Crafting Storage.

Crafting from Collectible Bags and Ingredient Bags in your character backpack is fine. I do not recall reading any accounts of errors when pulling ingredients from those sources.

For Night Revels, I always craft from my backpack. In my experience, that always works.

If you are on Khyber, send me a private message and I will mail you some ingredients.
