    I just did the Orc spawn boss (got there at 50%HP) and got looting rights but no drop at all... not even a artifact.

    I figure it's going to be exactly like any other non-Felucca Champ spawn on Prodo 90% of time you'll get nothing and then you'll have a couple that give you nice drops, then back to nothing for a while. i am getting the .2 .5 pinks throughout like those as well. I will say that I do like the spawn and it gives good Kindleflame. (that's what she said.)

    Does anyone know what the Skull of Garthok is for, other than deco? I searched a bit but didn’t find anything, and the patch notes are vague.

    Its like a UO Peerless or Spawn boss.  Highest damager system because it is permanent.  You are supposed to do it a lot.

    The Tempest is not that way, I think you were there on Origin.  I asked if anyone didn't get a drop.
    No one replied.

    Notice I stopped gating when it was at 50% so we would not have players coming at the end.

    @Pawain ran this on Test today With one of the Embers. I played around a little and you could lower the hp and maybe squeeze a 110 wrestle and Magery, but isn't worth it imo. I'll play with it on test to see if it's worth doing the magery mastery or not.

    Got it on Navrey at the moment and it's Mowing her down with just CD running, no healing with magery or bandaids.

    It appears that if i built it like this with 110 wrestle/magery it could have 571 HP and 4 more mana. i would use it to have fun so i'll likely make on of mine like this on Origin.

    @Victim_Of_Siege and @Mariah ; you can take them to the Arctic ogre Lord.  5 Fire resist.  See what that 825 str does without resists.  Fill bottles gain fame and karma.

    Is Popps off gathering fake info about the event instead of playing on Origin, A 50 mage would be making Blade Spirits by now,  One guy said he is getting loot rights with 74 archery.

    I am not staying there I can bring his stuff to whatever shard.

    If I am counting right, there are 29 possible drops from the Orc boss.  Not counting the arty.

    I hope this not getting drops is because of my crap toon there.

    I think you have to work spawn from start and be in top 5 I finally got crappy arty using my thrower from beginning

    I think it's random, i've run it from beginning to end on my Sampire and gotten 0 drops (other than the lev 1 primer lol) then came in at the last minute on my tamer and got the skull of Garthok. I think it works like everything else on Prodo, it's dependant on your sacrifices to the RNG overlord.

    Catching up since yday...

    Is the Garthok Skull something that drops every time? I did the Orc spawn solo and didn't get any skull at all. I really think the consolation drops (high intensity item) should be legendary every time. The major artifact items I've gotten so far (3) are not high intensity at all (maybe 1 max intensity prop); the 1 legendary item I got wasn't quite the same as I'd get from UWB/Roof/Clockwork but it's at least something I could throw into a "starter suit" for newbs. That should be the minimum... with ability to get an item with the intensity from UWB/Roof/Clockwork... aka phat lootz.

    I'm hoping it's a bug... but yes when the matriarch actually spawns it says "Create Map" and gives you the coords... but the map it creates doesn't act as a rune or allow for recalling... it's basically just like a t-map version on where the matriarch is. Pretty tough for me on Origin where I don't have many runes marked. 

    It looks like burning a super massive map advances the progression to the matriarch by a full level.. haven't confirmed this but seemed like it yday. 

    The maps in the matriarch satchel are now massive nests (instead of grand). 
  • PawainPawain Posts: 12,137
    I have only seen a few nests.  None of the mobs were infused.

    Are nest guarians infused?

    If so you should tame an infused ascendant.  :D

    Are the ascendants a mount or just a tow behind pet.

    Not a mount.  A tanmable that is in nest spawn.  They like the Emberwing.

    The guy I took has Hiding and stealth.

    You can stealth around picking up the shards with a resonator and bottle while hidden or invised.

    Can cast during the collection.

    It's standard RNG for those on the "top attacker" list....i.e damage dealt, damage rec'd, damage healed

    Looks like I was correct again.

    Tamables that are kindlehart infused lose that when you tame.

    This is what the board looks like during a matriarch spawn.... you can create a map but nothing happens with it. 



    @Kyronix / @Community Manager - I've now done 2 orc spawns where I've gotten no drop at all. I thought the "high intensity item" was the consolation prize so "we didn't walk away empty handed"? First time I chalked up to getting there late; this last go round I was there from the start killing every single wave.

    Getting a legendary with messed-up mixed up stats more frustrating than nothing

    Speaking of.

    I have 18 arties.   Ya know come to think of it, I think Popps asked for these.  Geez.

    Many more than 25 no drops

    0 real rewards.

    I did a lot of Orc Champ spawn.

    Gonna be a while before you get that Bone suit.

    Completely agree... I'll go one further and say that getting a Major Artifact is probably the most frustrating. I asked Kyronix what his vision of "High Intensity" was because I've gotten a few drops that are what I'd consider "low intensity" with barely any or none overcapped properties.
