The "Christmas" event draws to a close

Well It seems that after a lot of complaining about orc hunters the much sought after antlers were kinda worth it, if only for this cool picture you get for turning in Rudolfs Antlers.




+7 Str, Iron Skin, extra long haste,shield and BW all made quite a nice little buff. the problem we have in lineage is that they think that in the past events have come few and far between so everyone feels that if they miss out they will never get another opportunity.

This is soooo wrong... we have an awesome GM who is not only kicking bot arse but has also pledged to give us events on a frequent enough basis to get us out of this 2 events a year mentality.... this is further supported by people willing to take time of work for events. I loved Lyz's response of....

" If you took time of for every event this year you will no have a job for long "
- Awesome !!


The Poly Spellbooks were introduced into the game with devastating effects... I am not talking about the fact that any high level mage can turn most chars into a milk cow/floating eye. No I am talking about the moaning like a little girl at how the game is unbalanced and the spell needs changing !!! ha ha !!

I wonder if the voices would mute if every mage petitioned for knights to have soft ac like every other class !!!!

They have certainly made sieges a very dangerous place, but the spellbooks are still based on level/int/luck and lets face it any high level mage is already dangerous enough. I am sure that we will see these spell books in another event sometime soon which should add a little more balance.

Suffice to say I am not looking forward to being a millk now o.o

I also witnessed something very surprising and I have to applaud Oin for doing this it cracked the final days of the event wide open.



Take a bow Oin... you deserved it !!!

This made me laugh as well.....


Ha Ha..... I think everyone should be made to do the Gludio to kent run by foot before they get given armour :P


The event for me was less about the event mops and more about the int snow rings that allowed me access to 7-12% exp days. I was lucky enough to guess that the orc warriers spawned every full moon and full sun on day 2 whilst I was not able to take advantage from this myself Coronis and Dakeebler elf snagged 7 orcs in the opening stages ( no Polly book though!!).

After people got more and more aware of spawn times and places we did not really get a sniff after that... although I went to TI from time to time the bases were already covered.

Thankyou Corro and Keeb for my antlers :D

Overall the event was quite good fun, I would supplement my normal hunt with the odd Santa sock and nip over to TI for the orc from time to time. I do not think that this event set the place alight, however I do think it is a sign of the good things to come!!

Mr Milk Cow Anyone ???
