Code: Select all

> procure necrabellum from corpse
Undead creatures to not have a necrabellum. You must find corpses that were
recently living, not recently undead if you wish to procure successfully.

Hm? You changed this after the event started?

I also noticed a certain ant that contained a necra-thing before dont anymore.

Am I confused or are things being changed?

A lot of things have changed. No more undeads, no more moving animals/messengers/steeds from one domain to another to get necrabelli from that domain etc.

But? What? Isnt that VERY unfair?

It means the current topcollectors had a big advantage getting their items. And those who will try to catch up will have a big disadvantage.

I think those necrabelli will not be counted in the finishing tally.

Oh. Well if thats the case its more okay I guess, but people still got rewards for them I take it? And they also spent time getting them, so if they DONT count it's unfair the in the opposite way...

Any idea why it was changed? Would it not simply have been the most fair to keep things as they were when the event started? Then whatever happens it's always the same for everyone competing.

Arcon is correct. The tally will be shifted in the end as we sift for invalid necrabelli. Rewards that were gained thusly while the event was in progress will be allowed to stand. Final tally rewards will reflect the valid necrabelli.

Unfair, but so is life.

Would it be possible to have the top lists update with the actual valid numbers before the end of the event? I guess the idea with a top list is to encourage competition, but if the numbers are wrong it doesnt help much...? And should future top collectors happen to miss this forum post, someone might end up thinking they've won and then find out they didnt after all. Thats no fun:(

Just out of curiosity may I ask what was the problem with killing steeds and messengers? Or getting necro stuff from undeads? I assume if you do decide you have to make a change when the event has started, there is a valid reason. I am still curious though!

1. you buy different messengers
2. Come to sparkle tower
3. kill one messenger in every domain room in tower. (I guess some people even have kills in Lilith domain?)
4. you have 15? necrabelli from different domains

The same with steeds.

About undeads - I guess it theme thing

Ah. Hehe. Clever.

But could you really do that with undeads too? Or is that more of an RP thing perhaps?

Nah, I think he was saying it was a thematic thing. The guy in Sparkle is a necromancer (as Karkadelt posted about, and if you ask him about necromancy he sort of gives it away.) So if he's looking to raise the dead using necrabellum, an undead probably wouldn't possess it, as it's something that gives animation to a corpse.

Duh, I read Zar's post wrong. I read "I guess it SAME thing" instead of "THEME" thing. Thats why I was confused. Just ignore me.

Yes I also figured it was something thematic.
