I'm curious to the specific numbers you entered above, are these items different than normal kroderine at all (other than being zested and the enhancive/resistances), when it comes to their antimagical nature?

Those numbers are the max number of dispels. All kroderine isn't created equally! Heh.

Can a bard tell how many the max number of dispells is on a given piece? And can merchants increase the number, in the same way they can increase accuity flare numbers?

Thanks,

Kerl

No, and it's not guaranteed how much it will dispel, even if the of target has more spells than those numbers.

Oh, I see - up to 3-5 spells removed per flare. I was thinking it meant something like flare activations per day.

Glad that is not the case!

So previous Kroderine plate is 5 dispel? you are just listing the difference between the shield and plate? Or was the original kroderine higher then 5 dispel?

I don't know what the other kroderine was built with. But I doubt it was over 5. I'm listing what these are built with.

So for this rookie Droughtmans guy...

How are prizes distributed? Random pull for anyone who enters? Then the winners go at it in the finals for even better prizes? Or do we get to pick and choose? :) Looking forward to this! Seems like fun!

Best,

Jim

It's a random pull.

What Raelee said. Everyone, including the winner, that runs get a random pull from a prize pile after someone wins the run. The winner, last time anyways, also got an additional prize(Enchant, GALD, etc). They also get a free run in the final round where they get to pull from the pile again.

In these weekend tournaments the people in the finals did not get the pull from the treasure pile again. Well, techincally they did but all they got was a commerative necklace or something. Can't remember exactly but it wasn't an addtional prize from the pile. Now in the orginally full blown tournament in the finals they did get to pick from the treasure pile again.

Granted, there have been more than one mini-tournament at this point but the one I did they didn't get an extra pull at the prizes. Of course they did win a free enchant from the run they won, so that was technically their prize for being in the final.

Well I for one can tell you why I'm quite...I'm a bit peeved the way this Decembers Droughtmans was released. Like an ass sore. Then when I was hearing that folks took advantage of the opportunity (good ole Americanism)and acquired multiple tickets for the events and were selling them...yea..kinda put me in the quite zone.

I can understand how anyone could find this annoying but it can be done whether or not the event is formally announced. People have definitely done it before.

Some of the numbers I posted were a little off. I'll get a complete list to you guys either tonight or tomorrow.

Any word on doing another run in plat Wyrom? Solomon had indicated that it was a possibility a couple months ago, but we haven't heard anything since then.

It's being discussed. We'll let you know. If there is one, it will be the exact items (outside the grand prize).

That we get the exact same prizes with no chance of input given the prior two weekend runs full of prizes that we did not receive either.

Excellent news, carry on then! Would it be helpful to start a thread on the plat side with things we'd especially like to see included?

Still very excited, but also a bit disappointing that there will be no incentive (1x enchant) for round one winners barring the souvineer and chance at winning a top notch grade A grand prize...at least that is what i suppose you will hear from the 9 people walking away at the end of the second round...
