All houses with environments will give the buffs, not just the paid ones.

Out of curiosity, will we have one day to beat the jarl a certain amount of times, or do we only fight him until he has been beaten that amount of times, no matter how many days it takes.

He will have a target number to kill, similar to Cryostar and Northal unlocks.

Yeahhh, all Jarl's fault. If only we can hang him now.

You can kill the #%^@ out of him starting tomorrow.

How will the boss loot work? Will the deeds work like how set items drop?

They will be rare, but not that rare. There is no energy mechanic in this event so you can run it as fast as you can find the portals.

[extrapayah]

what a bummer for people who've bought their houses, but i guess, change need to be made...
any chance for a shared in an account house? or simply once bought, unlocked to all char?

also, will be great if we're able to change the environment into its 'tradeable kit' version anytime we want

and talking about discounts, i think the next time you release new items/things, you should set the discounting event on the same time at the release time, not after releasing it, e.g.: crate/plat sale at the release of new pet/arcane items

thanks

A few question if i may
I have 5days of net so jist wondering here.

1. How long is the event. How many days?
2. How are the drop rates of each house? As rare as a set item? Or as rare as a dova bear? Or as a jewel?
Is tavern harder to loot than a starter house?
3. Thank u
4. U said as long as we find a portal like in maps or is there an event portal? Or a luck based altar like gob event?

I think that he said that the portals would spawn from normal kills, so just farm breckenridge

[extrapayah]

talking about drop rate, a decent drop rate is needed, to make hard worker not losing to lucky one-timer

Bring The Jarl to justice and end Housing Upkeep forever!

After an extensive examination of real estate transactions within Arlor, the originator and main beneficiary of the Housing Upkeep system has been identified as none other than Jarl Gruwald.

The People of Arlor have spoken! The Jarl must be held accountable for his actions!

Starting tomorrow at 1:30 pm CST, the Elders of Kelys will facilitate access to the Jarl's inner sanctum. Defeat random monsters to spawn a portal to his house. Track The Jarl to his house and defeat him for a chance to loot:

- Tavern Deeds
- Lodge Deeds
- Cottage Deeds
- Starter House Deeds
- Furniture Inventory slots
- Housing Decor slots
- Unique decorations: Jarl's portrait, wanted poster, piles of gold, chests, and jewels

There is no energy mechanic for this event. Once The Jarl has been defeated enough times:

HOUSING UPKEEP WILL BE REMOVED FOREVER!

This will require a server reboot, we will bounce it as soon as possible once he has been defeated.

A couple of other changes regarding housing:

- Environments will now be tradable
- When you upgrade your house, your old house will be packed into a tradable deed. If you have previously upgraded your house, we will grant you a deed during tomorrow's downtime.

Finally, in honor of this momentous event, all houses will be 20% off in the store. The Tavern is 25% off!

Please note that Estate Tokens will remain for sale during the event. We will have a mechanism to consume all unused Estate Tokens following the event.

Get ready Arlor, for tomorrow you take down The Jarl!

What a brilliant idea....

Yes...but upkeep is disproportionate to your real world equivalent. At that rate, My upkeep would be very near to my purchase price....every month. That's not realistic. If sts wants housing to be successful, it must reconsider...or foreclosures will rise and the homelessness rate will skyrocket. I've already seen a tent encampment in Windermere...how soon before the Occupy Arlor movement takes root?

I'll be awaiting my paycheck. 99m gold should cover it.

I agree with a good drop rate but of starter houses some ppl have spent a few hundred euroes on taverns, you have to think about everyone not yourself

Well, time to upgrade to a tavern. Prices should fall as they'll go on sale are are lootable!

totally understand that, since i also bought a tavern just few days ago, but event need to be raining with loot, since it's limited time,
else it will be another waiting game, because lucky one timer will naturally sell things cheaper, lesser than the average individual cost/time spent for looting it, hence it will discourage participation in the event, or make people doing other things that supporting people to run the event but eventually gives more money (e.g. like selling leafy chest on last event, or stand in camp, trading things)

anyway talking about environment, it will be great if it is unlockable by running certain maps and then you release an elixir to unlock it faster. some system that force player to run maps. not by directly buying it with plat.

or yes, making these lootable deeds as a special untradeable deeds but having a lot better drop rate is also a good solution, since damage of previous pricing has been done...

[Richardlord]

Good point, the drop rate should be fairly high, and maybe they could drop the lower houses more often, with tavern dropped the least.

[Justg]

1. How long is the event. How many days?

We'd like it to run for 5-7 days. We've never done an unlimited event like this one so we'll see how it goes from Thurs - Fri this week and perhaps adjust the goal.

How are the drop rates of each house?

Fairly rare, but there is a ton of different loot with this event so it should be worthwhile to run over and over.

Is tavern harder to loot than a starter house?

Yes Taverns will be the most rare, followed by Lodges, then Cottages, then Starter Houses. Next will be Housing Decor Slots and Furniture Inventory slots. Jarl's unique furniture will be next, followed by rare furniture, followed by common furniture.

U said as long as we find a portal like in maps or is there an event portal? Or a luck based altar like gob event?

Killing any mob in the game has a chance to spawn the portal.

[Astrea]

Does the HP and Dmg of Mobs scale with the lvl of the player?

[Justg]

Does the HP and Dmg of Mobs scale with the lvl of the player?

Yes he does.

[Kingofninjas]

If someone purchases environments on a lower level house, will they be a part of the larger house once the player upgrades (and pays the price difference of the environments if there is any)?

[extrapayah]

i think harder mobs should give a higher chance of spawning jarl's portal, no?

[Niixed]

This is quite a positive development, thankfully that scoundrel Jarl will finally be brought to justice.
