Oi vey, dissapointment. Just throw pre-existing arties and whatnot at the players, removing the normal challenge and procedure for getting these things. Considering the small pieces rained down on the lands and the large ones were mined up, thats like mining up aggy runic hammers and having zyronic claws rain down on the land like candy.

So, so dissapointing. I guess if you like getting uber stuff without effort, its great, but thats such an anticlimactic end for such an impressive story arc. The only thing I am interested in finding out at this point is what you get for turning in one of the original quest pieces, and since I sold my accounts (and thus my quest piece), I can't exactly go do it myself.

I'll cry if its more pre-existing crap, that battle was hard. We'll see.

I don't mind it, the fact that there are thousands of valorite runics etc... floating around from duping, this will only benefit the average player. I've seen entire houses filled to their capacity in artifacts (real ones) in the hands of some of the richer players.

That being said, I also have around 500+ pieces of blackrock, so I may be biased Wink

I have about 6 ORIGINAL blackrock pieces, DIRECTLY from the pillar.

And then like, 40 smalls.

I do not mind this at all.. I had tried before going to doom and had contributed several times before without any yeilds. At least this way, faith will be able to stand her own in battle without being flattened by an arti tank.

This sounds pretty neat. I liked the Cursed Artifact thing, too.

Not sure how easy they are to get or how much they cost(Cursed ones), but between that and now this, I imagine that people won't really worry about gear as much for RP wars and things. If you are warring trustworthy people, anyways.

The artifacts you get from the blackrock trade in aren't cursed Wink

He know's that..he was just stating that with those on top of everything, it's easier to build up a suit. Think thats why he mentioned warring trustworthy people Razz

Where do you trade this stuff in as soon as the server goes up, anyway?

In Haven, theres a bunch of shady looking characters dressed in black robes named "A Trader".

They also recall around the entire island randomly, so you may have to hunt them down.

I hope they are all evil traders that manipulate the pixelcrackgreed of the players and use the collected blackrock to blow up Luna.
