Rifted Crown Event

A dark shadow now hangs over Britannia, as King Blackthorn has mysteriously vanished, leaving the Royal Court in disarray. With no word from the King and no sign of his whereabouts, the Royal Guard remain on high alert as they attempt to dissuade citizens from starting to panic. However, a strange and deadly sickness has begun to spread across the land, affecting towns and villages where it was least expected. The origins of this sickness remain unknown, and whispers of a darker force behind it stir fear in every corner of the kingdom.

Could this sickness be linked to the King’s disappearance? What is the true cause behind these mysterious events? Brave adventurers are urgently needed to uncover the truth. Speak to Guard Captain Thorne at Castle Blackthorn to begin your investigation into the kingdom’s crisis.

  • This unique event consists of 5 different phases that players must progress through:
    • Phase 1: The Siege
      • Work together to lay siege to a city and break down large defensive barriers blocking entry
      • Crafters are needed to craft explosives and siege components:
        • Alchemy: Barrel of Explosives
        • Carpentry: Siege Deployment Kit
        • Blacksmithing: Siege Ammunition Kit
      • Earn rubble in various styles, names, and hues, with a rare chance at a special item
    • Phase 2: The Assault
      • Defeat all 9 Commanders rallying troops inside the city
      • Earn rubble and a chance at a special item
      • Earn Artifacts “Of The Riftborne”
    • Phase 3: The Champion
      • One of four champions enters the fray
      • Defeat the champion for a chance to earn a Rifted Satchel, which may include:
        • A Void Fragment
        • Pieces of Rubble
        • Artifacts Of The Riftborne
        • A Void Cube
        • A Banner of Dominion (2 styles, various hues)
        • A Void Obelisk (various hues)
    • Phase 4: The Depths
      • Gain access to a dungeon beneath the city
      • Battle Void-Touched monsters to earn Artifacts Of The Riftborne
      • Use the Potion of Glorious Fortune to increase your drop chances
    • Phase 5: The Defense
      • Defend the city from a Void-Touched army
      • Earn Artifacts Of The Riftborne from waves of attackers
      • Waves increase in difficulty; use the Potion of Glorious Fortune for better rewards
  • Once the defense fails, players will be removed and the event restarts after 30 minutes

Hidden Chests

  • Use Detect Hidden to locate and reveal chests across the city and within The Depths
  • Chests may reward gems, reagents, artifacts, rubble, maps, rare deco, or one of four uber-rare stealables
  • Luck increases your odds of rare stealables
  • Chests are locked to the revealer and their party for 2 minutes, then become free-for-all
    • On Abyss ruleset shards (Siege/Mugen), looting during this time flags as criminal

Reward Vendor

  • Trade “Of The Riftborne” artifacts for:
    • Deco items
    • Titles
    • Equipment
    • Crafting Recipes
    • A Pet

New Tamable: The Clydesdale

  • A new breed of horse has been discovered throughout Sosaria!
  • Spawns in 5 locations in Ilshenar and 6 in The Lost Lands (3 Felucca, 3 Trammel)
  • Available in 12 hues, from common to uber rare
  • Use a Totem of Chromatic Fortune to improve spawn odds for rare hues
  • Must be tamed by a skilled Animal Tamer, but can be used by anyone (if not trained with advanced animal training)
  • Starts as a 1-slot magical pet; trainable up to 5-slots
  • Special ability: Last Stand
    • If the rider takes lethal damage, the pet will prevent it once every 30 minutes

Misc Changes & Bugfixes

  • Tabards can now be repaired by Tailors
  • Transmogrified quivers can now be properly insured

    OMG sounds incredible

    I object to this - 
    • Once the defense fails, players will be removed and the event restarts after 30 minutes

    Sounds like  Void Pool and we have no chance of winning. i prefer they have the upper hand, but we will prevail

    This is NL mechanics.  The events will be better since they practice with NL.

    This looks great! I wonder the intensity on the The Clydesdale. I wonder if it can negate the final blow when we are not riding it. If it has good intensity and saves the tamer even without riding it, then it would make a great pet for tamers. 

    Either way it is a must have horse for any PvPer.

    Love it all, thank you Team. :)

    (if there is any chance the Clydesdale can be bandage ressed by the rider, like VvV mounts can, would be cool - if not, not the end of the world).

    Is the Fey slayer added in the Superslayer list, again not the end of the world if not.

    No Fey Slayer from what I and others have seen.  @Kyronix any chance we can have that added to them?

    Shadowmane looks promising, for those of us who aren't active on New Legacy (which is too repetitive a grind for my liking), and I'm not sold on a reskin of the Balron Bone Armor (to each their own on that one, I know people won't necessarily like the graphic)

    I've placed dispensers in Britain Commons which you can use to get Void Fragments and the necessary special reagents for crafting the event items.

    Are these in the game right now? I can't find them on the crafter menus. 

    Edit: Ahhh, Lukas is on the TC1. I was looking at the production. My bad.

    Very well executed by the team so far

      I hope the "Last Stand" ability has no affect in PvP.  please say it doesn't.
    Remove or change casting focus & poison immunity it reduces the need for "Player Skill" it's garbage. rant2 Bring timing back and eliminate chance in pvp!

  • PawainPawain Posts: 10,851
    Clydesdale:

    They have differing start stats.

    Here is an example of a plain version.



    100% physical damage.  Boo, just a different graphic lesser Hiryu.

    Looks very cool IMO.  A black one would be nice.

    Can tame one and trade to a 0 tame skill player.

    Only a tamer can start Training.

    it does work in PvP, but i think its not that crazy. its def good but i would guess nothing game breaking
  • PlayerSkillFTWPlayerSkillFTW Posts: 665
    That horse be Thicc. Still would like an armored version for PvM Damage Reduction (which maybe disables the Last Stand special when barded). Getting saved from a single killing blow once every 30 mins likely isn't as good for PvM as a consistent 20% Damage Reduction.

    Wish they would introduce NL's harvesting mechanics for Mining/LJ (and expand to Fishing) with this event. Would be much easier for legit players to gather the resources necessary to craft the items for Stage 1 then.

    It looks great!!! But I am a bit confused. Is this the only color? The patch notes says we can use Totem of Chromatic to get different colors. 
  • PawainPawain Posts: 10,851
    @_Psycoder ; Yes other colors.  But  I don't get special things from UO. RNG hates me.
    Someone gave me one with diff coat and leg color.
    Love the fighting.

    Thanks for letting me know!! IMHO this dirty leg color looks better than the one in the other picture!
  • LukasLukas Posts: 19
    Will you show us the different colors and their rarities again, like at the Event with the Nightmares? @Parallax @Kyronix

    I hope so :smile:

    It would be even better if they released costume for these. Finally my Saint Bernard would have a companion :p

    Did they say anything about these being event only or permanent?

       It should be changed to only be useful once the pet has been trained up beyond 1/5 follower slots so the most OP temps don't get another thing to make them even better... with no downside.

    .    Pvp is already stupid with all the third-party clients everyone uses, now the devs are actively making it worse.

    The Clydesdale looks nice.

    There is also a new pet on the reward vendor.

    They also come in different Hues.  Stats are all the same. 
    Can be trained to get Life Leech!  180 Dex, fast walker.
    2 => 5 slots


    Focus on what you can do, not what you can't.
  • PawainPawain Posts: 10,851
    Remember this is on Test Center.  Players are using the air freshner to paint their new pets.  You may see some TC only colors here.

    This looks awesome! I am glad Tamers got some love in the last 2 patches :)

                                                                                so     :dizzy:    lame


    PS: the horse art.. it's compensating for something and I hate it... way too buff and huge.
    So rather than recognise the effort the botters went to, to set all that up - for the benefit of the players, to help get certain items, something you could never be bothered to do, you would rather drag people backwards to your neanderthal world?

    Leave attended paying accounts alone, these people go thru a lot of trouble to automate the game.

    It’s comical to me you are so frightened of somehow bod scripters get some sort of advantage.
