What comes next........

[Energizeric]

I've been thinking all week of how to expand on a previous post I made about new mythic helms and armors, and I have come up with the details.....

While the Goblin & Ursoth events have been great, a new problems exists which is what will we all do with ourselves once the event is over. Farming elite Tindirin dungeons is no longer very interesting, especially the ones that give the magma helms and armors. Due to the release of the new mythic weapons, even the magma weapons are no longer very interesting, except perhaps for the warrior's magma claymore.

This idea will return interest to farming both elite and non-elite Tindirin dungeons until the next expansion....

1) New level 41 mythic helms and armors will be released.

2) Unlike other mythics, these will NOT drop from locked grand crates of the watch.

3) These mythic helms and armors can be purchased from the dragkin teeth vendor for 300 dragkin teeth each.

4) Two new locked crates will be introduced to the game: Rendtail's Locked Mythic Crate & Rendtail's Locked Arcane Crate

5) Rendtail's Locked Mythic Crate will drop very rarely from all elite Tindirin bosses. This crate will be a mythic rarity item, and as such can be re-rolled from a legendary item. Looting one will give you the mythic achievement.

6) Rendtail's Locked Mythic Crate will cost 500 plat to open, and will always give one of the new mythic helms or armors. Which one you get is random.

7) Rendtail's Locked Arcane Crate will drop very rarely only from elite Rendtail. This crate will be an arcane rarity item, and as such can be re-rolled from a mythic item. Looting one will give you the arcane achievement.

8) Rendtail's Locked Arcane Crate will cost 1500 plat to open, and will always give one of the following arcane items: Singe Egg, Samael Egg, Maul of Ollerus, Ker'shal Scepter, Arcane Shard.

9) Both Rendtail's Locked Mythic Crate & Rendtail's Locked Arcane Crate will be tradable.

10) Both Rendtail's Locked Mythic Crate & Rendtail's Locked Arcane Crate will be discontinued when season 6 ends, at which time the level 41 mythic helms and armors will only be obtainable from the dragkin teeth vendor (or by purchasing them from another player or from the auction).

11) A new item called a Dragkin Teeth Bundle will be found very rarely in Locked Grand Crates of the Watch. These will be tradable, and will contain 5 Dragkin teeth each when opened.


This update would have something for everybody... elite farmers, non-elite farmers, and crate openers will all have a way to obtain the new mythic helms and armors. However, it will take time and will keep us busy for a while, all while giving us the chance to loot mythic and arcane items directly from an elite boss -- something many of us have wanted for a long time.

Given the high cost in plat of opening the new mythic & arcane crates, and the luck elixirs that would be used while farming for them, STS should see a nice increase in plat revenue.
