Hi all,

 

Three old favorites have appeared in the Scavenging Caves for the weekend. They are joined by a new Bad Guy!

 

Furthermore, the following potions are now on a pair of creature in the caves : The Flask of Death & the Potion of the Canny Gatherer.

 

The Gilded King (Legendary)

 

After your traitorous guide abandons you in the caves, you finally emerge in moonlight and shadows in the fabled hidden Valley of the Golden King. The rumors of vast treasure are true, but the wonderful golden idols and hammered images are not the magical animals you expect but the lamia and jabberwock; the king is a follower of the Shadow Lord! Beset by the gilded one's horde of goons, you fight your way free to boldly face the Golden King himself. Now if only you can survive the king and remember the way back...

 

Recommended Level : 525+

 

Recommended Gold : 23,000+

 

 

Zaragoth the Hades Dragon (Legendary)

 

Zaragoth the Hades Dragon is a vast, foul being. A two headed, skull faced devourer of souls, this monster is a terror creature, shackled to the Shadow Lords will, sent out to plague the living and absorb the power of those he kills. A dread beast, it must be destroyed! Are you up to the challenge?

 

Recommended Level : 820+

 

Recommended Gold : 29,000+

 

 

Ira Heketoro (Legendary)

 

Various stories have been passed down through the ages , though none create more excitement and fear than the story of Ira Heketoro. Legend speaks of an ancient forest where the mythical Taniwha Ira Heketoro lives and protects a mysterious stone of uncanny strength. Only the strongest and bravest of warriors would seek out the ancient forest. Few have ever returned. Those who return, while battle scarred and weary, possess treasures imbued with strength and spirit, enough to make many a brave man run in fear.

 

Recommended Level : 1600+

 

Recommended Gold : 45,000+

 

 

Barathor the Seer of Fire (Legendary)

 

Barathor, the Seer of Fire, is an ancient, otherworldly demonic being. His centuries of flame gazing have left him entirely blind but he still manages to see thanks to his Helm of Visions. Some say whatever he has seen over the ages has driven him quite mad, all that is known for sure is he is now using his master over fire as a weapon, incinerating all around him. He needs to be stopped!

Recommended Level : 1725+

 

Recommended Gold : 45,000+

 

These LEs and potions will be available in the caves until 14:00 hours Server time on Monday the 17th of June, 2013.

 

Enjoy!

Oh well. A great way to sink the gold from the xp event

[mitzi86]

Surprise! New gear for our EoC Friends. Great idea bringing it out to try to flood gold out of the game!

[dory364]

Thanks for the event!  Happy zaragoth and the gilded king are here

Good choice to release some creatures in the scavenging caves to sink all the excess gold.

 

But why did you choose to release 3 creatures that were in the caves only 4 months ago?

I am sure there are many other creatures that would have been a better choice.

nice ty grim has the drop rate been tweaked i know from experience it sucked really really bad last time i spent over millions easily on one with no drops

doubtful they proved to be a major gold sink and the drop rate sucked so there wasnt that many sets in the game

[hades8840]

oh i notice one has a recommended lvl of 1725 lol shame content goes to 1700

maybe they are looking for players to push past EOC

Sales of these items have been very low the last few months. And the prices were very stable during that time.

So it is doubtful many new sets will be scavenged now.

[johnagod]

Are you sure the drop rates were tweaked? I've spent about 20 million on the gilded king with 1 drop, which is a lot worse than last time LOL

[jsustin212]

30 fsp spent, 7 canny gatherers, 3 EW1500, and 3 gilded helms, along with other little things im very very very happy =)

[BigGrim]

Players push past Content no matter how much we put out at once. It always happens.

 

Besides, players have told me they like something to aim for. That's as valid for players at EoC as anyone.

Positive.

[PALMPOON]

which cave, what creature drop flask of death. who know?

[Savanc]

Tweaking drop rates on creatures that were released only 4 months ago?

 

That is saying: "Tough luck people who spent millions of gold earlier. The items that you spent hundreds of FSPs on are now worth only a fraction of that."

I think it was tweaked a while ago and only affected Legendary creatures, but I can't remember if it was before or after the new creatures were added to the caves

[watagashi]

That is super cool of yall and a great time to do it with the event as well,,, but

 

With about 1/3 of the game under lvl500 (or at least only 8200 players ranked over me atm) could you please think about adding something for the lil guys to throw their gold at too?

[Savanc]

It was tweaked somewhere around the end of February.

The creatures were in the caves in the beginning and the middle of February.

 

So they were scavenged with hundreds of FSPs per drop.

With the tweaked drop rates the price per drop is a lot lower.

It is not such a bad thing that the prices of these items are dropping except that it happens so soon after their initial release.
