Mabar rewards: +5/+6 Ability tomes and a few new rubies.

[Wizza]

To get these, you need a Signet of the Endless Night. They are awarded the first time you kill the Spectral Dragon each day.

Few notes:

- Please tell me the +6 tomes are not real. Or that they are avaible somewhere else. Otherwise this should go AWAY. Such a "powerfull" item cannot be made only avaible temporarily in the game.

- Don't use this stupid mechanic of Neverwinter of "Daily Quests". I want to get the items whenever I want. I want to spend a whole day farming mabar and getting done with it ASAP. I don't want to do it everyday. Double the cost if you really want but don't start with these Daily things.

- Rubies are ML1. Really nice.

- Festival Solar: I don't know if this always existed but anyway, the fact that a different "Festival bonus" AKA Risia games will overwrite this is just..silly. It's 1d4 light damage. Make them stackable.

Wow, this is SO dumb.

+6 tomes for a temporary event? Requiring you to do Mabar EACH flipping day to get any of these new items?

Who comes up with these asinine ideas? They need to be relieved of their position, immediately.

Unless Mabar runs from Oct 1 to Oct 31, this is one of the worst ideas I've seen yet. Many people do not have the opportunity to run an event for several days during the two or so weeks that it is active, and the time it takes the Dragon to spawn is especially prohibitive for that. Even Cove takes too long to open, and Mabar takes much longer than that.

I'm halfway hoping they put these Mabar Signets in the DDO store, just so that I can buy several at one time and say to hell with this laggy, frustrating event. I don't care how much they cost. I mean, why not? The game is already almost completely pay-to-win anyway now.

Cool... So considering I did a TR and wont be able to get to 28 before its on ill loose +6 tomes... yay... lets be honest. on lvl 1-20 its hard to kill dragons when there are 2 ppl inside instance :/

I didn't even consider THIS problem, but yes, this is yet another thing wrong with making +6 tomes available from a temporary event.

[maddong]

I never intend to run Mabar. Please remove the +5/6 tomes. Put them in the level 31 loot tables instead.

[IronClan]

Whats the big deal +5 can be bought in the store, one per character limit and one signet per day pretty much guarantees you wont get more than a couple of these, and probably only on characters that need the tome for something that wasn't possible before (like hitting 23 STR for overwelming crit feat, on a toon that it not strength based or some such). It's hilarious listening to this player base pine for whatever Turbine DOESN'T DO.

If they make the loot too powerful then they obsoleted old loot
If they make the loot too weak, then there's no reason to buy the expansion pack
If they put tomes in as a rare drop, then they are forcing you to grind
If they put the tomes in the store, then it's P2W
If they put the tomes in an event, then it's a ZOMG LIMITED TIME.
If they plopped the **** thing in your inventory for free, it would be ZOMG INVENTORY SPACE!

Good for you, then your problem is solved, +6 tomes don't exist for you. Now about that "I don't want other people to get stuff I don't want" thing you have going on... I can't help with that.

Last Mabar i didn't have many problems running the dragon on all levels, except for level 4. I'm sure with some of the new rewards, especially the tomes it will be absolutely full this year.

Handing out +6 tomes for being lucky enough to be put in an instance with 16-30 players? And people that can't log on during US peak likely miss out?

Really?

I don't see why you even care anyway. Aren't you busy playing EVE instead of DDO?

THIS is why I object to it. You are put in a random instance, with random players, and you can't communicate other than in general chat. Add the +6 tomes to EE Stormhorn and Wheloon loot tables.

Nice, these are items that would entice me to come play Mabar.
I like the ruby Augments, will definitely try and work some of these in..

Restricted 1x use/character +6 tome... is a nice teaser.. I don't mind this..
Much better than running 20th end rewards for a chance at a random BTC stat tome, really sucks when you run 60 FOT and get the same BTC tomes that you already have....

This mentality of one a day is great for casual players but sucks for hard-core gaming nights.

People play recreational games when they have time, by implementing a 1/day reward restriction on a limited time event you really are screwing a large group of players.

Peoples play times vary, not everyone has 1 hour every day to run Mabar when it is available..

Someone who plays 14 hours in a weekend for a 2 week event vs playing 1 hour a day for the same 2 weeks should have the same end result.

Telling the person that can only play in spurts that they are not eligible for rewards because they are restricted to 1 a day is stupid.

Really screws with weekend warriors who work or have lives and don't get a chance to play DDO daily. ... cramming it all into a 6-10hour hardcore night or two is the best they can do..

DDO really needs to rethink this.
The whole 1 signet/day thing is garbage... let me run it as often as I want to earn signets.. why restrict it to one a day...
~equal time for equal rewards~.

[djl]

Bet they add "Mabar Bypasses" to the store which enable you to get more than one signet drop per day.

[brian14]

Are the rubies BtC, BtA, or unbound?

[RedOrm]

Maybe I'm misremebering what they said. but... Am I the only one then who read it as 1 signet per character per day?
I'm planning to run a lot on my main both for the daily signet and in order to craft a new L20 robe for when I do an epic TR, but I was also planning, after the first dragon, to do the next dragon on my secondairy, and so on. Assuming I remembered/understood the signet drops correctly, my only complaint will be the lack of hours in a day :P

Can anyone please tell me what DR and resistances the spectral dragon has? Like a undead dragon, like a blue dragon or none at all when the lights are light?

Eternity scales but this is the best answer I am aware of to your questions:
