Hi all,
 
Santork Claws and his Flamedeer have returned!
 
Santork Claws (Legendary)

 
Tis the season to be jolly! However the razor handed maniac known as Santork Claws does not agree. He has built an army of Steam powered reindeer capable of great fiery destruction and with them he intends on ruining this happy season for all!
 
 
Flamedeer (Legendary)

 
The maniac Santork Claws has created a mechanical Steam Powered Reindeer army. These constructs are heavily armored and are armed with powerful flame throwers with which to burn all they come across.
 
 
Unlike the usual Legendary creatures, Santork and the Flamedeer come in five power levels : 
 
Level : 50
Lesser Santork Claws (Legendary)
Lesser Flamedeer (Legendary)
 
Level : 150
Santork Claws (Legendary)
Flamedeer (Legendary)
 
Level : 250
Greater Santork Claws (Legendary)
Greater Flamedeer (Legendary)
 
Level : 500
Superior Santork Claws (Legendary)
Superior Flamedeer (Legendary)
 
Level : 750
Supreme Santork Claws (Legendary)
Supreme Flamedeer (Legendary)
 
They drop various types of Crackers that are extracted into Baubles, with are then used to create items. The recipes for these items can be bought from Santork's Grotto in the Realm of Santork Claws, the stairway to which can be found in the Forest of Yule (Clearing).
 
Please be aware, the "Convert" recipes (i.e. Convert Lesser Santork Hat) to change original items to Upgraded items are only to be used if you still have original Santork set items. If you don't have those and need to start from Upgraded items, use the "Upgraded" recipes (i.e. Upgraded Lesser Santork Hat) as those only require Baubles from the Cracker drops!
 
4 new recipes can be found in Santork's Grotto and a new Cracker with Baubles is being dropped too!

These LEs will be active in the Realms until 17:00 hours (Server time) on Wednesday the 28th of December.
 
Enjoy!

cheers grim shame highest set is 2500 thanx anyway have to admit this is my worst event keeping track of what cracker and which bauble u need is a nightmare

[cucullainn]

Okay I remember a few years ago when everybody had to start getting the crackers from the Santork and the Flamedeer. To upgrade the existing items. Like the Hat and the greater antlers. A lot of those items were dropped by the original legendarys according to the wiki. Now I know a lot of players are out there now trying to upgrade some items or make the new items and they can't. Because the original legendarys no longer drop the original items. According to the UFSG it doesn't say whether you get them from recipes or if they're dropped but it does show that none of the original creatures drop anything except for the crackers???

What gives? Are the original items no longer achievable? I can't understand why, if the Cows change stuff around. Why it can't be changed in the UFSG also? Many of us are at a loss as to where to get these original items???

[rowbeth]

It is all there in the UFSG, Cucullain.

 

If you have original items, then there is a recipe to convert them to upgraded items.

If you don't have the original items, then there is a different recipe to create the upgraded item purely from baubles.

 

For example, use either Upgraded Lesser Santork Hat Recipe or Convert Lesser Santork Hat Recipe

Firstly, nice to see Santork and Flamedeer again ...

 

BUT ...

 

1. These LEs will be active in the Realms until 17:00 hours (Server time) on Wednesday the 28th of December. <- 48 hrs isn't very long ?

 

2. I think the process for the higher level santork stuff needs altering ? - it's WAY too convoluted and risky...

 

To make upgraded items you need to farm the santorks and flamedeers and ..

 

    a ) Have enough backpack and/or component slots to store the drops / extracts

    b ) Run the challenge of the RNG to determine if you're successul extracting/inventing.

 

Then, once you (finally) have the upgraded items, you then need to amass more baubles, from "Superior" santork / flamedeers and ..

 

   a ) Same as above

   b ) Same as above

 

That process will give you the icy and the fiery santork sets if/when you're lucky

 

THEN, to make the new stuff, you have to have 2 sets of each (PER NEW SET) and, guess what, farm more baubles and ..

 

   a ) Same as above

   b ) Same as above

 

All this to make sets that, in the next few months, will sell for peanuts.

 

OK, with a massive backpack and a massive component backpack plus Omacaz, this isn't much of a challenge (other than time) but to players without any / all of the above, I'd say it's next to impossible to do for themselves.

So, whilst I like the idea that there are new sets to make again - the process should be, IMO, streamlined and made less convoluted ...

"Invent multiple Item A and B with a chance of failure"

then

"Use multiple invented items A and B to make invented items C and D - with a chance of failure"

then

"use multiple invented items C and D to make invented items E and F - with a chance of failure"

Having siad that, I agree its complicated. I reckon you need more than 40 baubles of diffrent colours, from crackers of different colours, so that you can create the lesser, standard and greater items to combine (with more different coloured baubles) into fiery/icy items that you can then combine (with yet more different coloured baubles) into the still higher level items.

 

But then, the forum is full of complaints that too mch of this game is mindless and too easy. Maybe this one balances things out.

that was what I originally posted in my Guild chat to my fellow Guild members. That they no longer dropped the original items. But unless you click on to a half a dozen pages in The UFSG. It's not really self-explanatory. Actually it's kind of just vacant leaving to speculate and wonder. Really discouraging! But I guess I couldn't have hoped for a better answer from this community :-(

well i thought he had helped you.. he told you what to do then put a link up to 2 different types of recipes..

 

what better answer would you have expected ? no need to have a dig at the community because you dont understand something

Heh! I am a part of "not many folk"    Do we have a clubhouse or something?   

As with everything else in game, it is a choice for each player; "wanna partake, or not". Can you and I (and some of those fine "not many folk" club members, agree that this is getting rather silly and way too complicated? Properly.
Will someone eye a chance for profit? Most likely.
Will the moo moos change the way it works now? Not the biggest chance of that happening.

Can we hope they put it on their to-do list b4 next years x-mas, to sort out all these weird and tangled recipes? Yes. Yes we can. Till then, have fun and njoy the event - or simply ignore it

Oh, I'm not hopeful - I'm pretty sure I suggested the same thing last year and it obviously fell on deaf ears then and I'm expecting the same result this time around

[hades8840]

to e honest the recipes are not overly complicated they look like they are but they aint the 3 base sets only use 3 crackers which can all e farmed in the same map its having the space i have 1k componat slots plus 2k bp and i ran out of room fast

I agree, it's not complicated - just bloody long-winded.

 

And you need a LOT of BP and a LOT of component slots and more than a fair share of luck - it's too "upgrade-reliant" for many people to even try I feel...

I agree took me hours and some 20k stam to make around 70 fiery and icy sets which sound alot but seeing the other sets can take upto i think 8 of them sets to make they soon go

Hi there everyone.

The malevolent Santork Claws and his vicious Flamedeer have been driven off once again by the Heroes of the Realms. However, the Heroes are disquieted. They feel like the Seasons tribulations are not yet over...

Santork and the Flamedeer have been despawned for another year. What is coming next?

We hope you enjoyed this event.
