    Maybe make it 15, 25 and 35 again, but just take away the gold farming maps?
    I often ask myself, why am I so attractive?

    They should set it 1k,2.5k and 3.5k. Making it 15,25, and 35 will require work. We need gold farming for enchanting amulets.

    Because the amount of gold farming, the tiers should be left as is.

    It really all depends on the scoring system, and mobs we have to kill. If we can get 500+ points per run, and runs are fast (2-3 minutes) it won't be that bad. But if it's like last event where we get 300 in 5+ minutes, I could see myself sitting this out completely.

    I keep finding myself needing to decide if I should get the 1 time vanities on my main, or do the event with an alt that has better luck enchanting. Meaning no matter what, I'm not getting the full potential/experience the event has to offer.

    The set looks REALLY cool but is there any way it could get a different effect? I think the glow doesn't really match the whole "death" theme besides the purple and it's really just an overused effect at this point. (Although it does look nice on some sets)

    I think the WL weapon should be revised to a REAL lightning bolt or something instead of that 5 headed lance thingy and add a lightning bow or something since there is now 2 black gold weapons and only one(being added) white lightning weapon. The community loves a varity of loot last event only 2 real things to farm which was fine and fun but gets a tad boring.

    Collage and school started for most of us 100k is a bit high unless points are changed differently. 100k is like 20-24hrs of play time?

    In any case, Cinco always checks the velocity on the first day and makes adjustments if he deems it necessary.

    I think it would be more enticing if we werent just getting weapons. Tbh id much rather see full lootable sets + 1 or 2 weapons to go with our current sets.

    Also have a suggestion for the next Whight lightning weapon to be a reskin of the bonzo axe to match white lightning with a white axe head and bkue handle. Instead of purple smoke, surround the whole axe head in a ball of lightning.

    The Death Night Vanity look so Evil, very well design.

    Hope this time around the Myxx Loot vanity weapon's drop has rate has been increased since it won't return next event, it's frustrating spending abit amount of plat and never get lucky with any drop.

    I think 100k for gold-tier is fine. There needs to be a genuine reward for people who are willing to sit down and grind.

    The Skeleton Shrine
    Myxx the Mad Mage has sent her army home to the underworld... to rest and recover in preparation for a renewed assault on Alterra.
    Little does she know that our realm's Legendary heroes are hot on their heels, ready to stomp their bony faces into the ash!

    Event Timing
    The fun begins at 12am on Friday the 24th and runs 'til 11:59pm on Sunday the 26th.
    Winners have 48hrs immediately following the event to get the vanities, Enchantment discounts and gold loot.

    Host / Join Support
    You'll be able to host a single-player or multi-player instance of the "Skeleton Shrine" directly!
    Content is balanced for 4 players in 'multi' (like 'Shimmering Shores') and for 1 player in 'single' (like original 'Mad Mage's Castle').


    Group PVE / Personal Score Event
    This PVE event is a personal score event with full support for groups (like 'Shores')!
    All players in the event zone will get score credit for monsters killed within standard loot / experience range.

    Victory Tiers
    Collect 25k points to unlock Bronze Tier. Get 75k points for Silver. 100k for Gold Tier.
    Winners get access to the new "Deathknight" vanity set, discounted Enchantments and gold-farming zones!

    Myxx Loot
    This time around, Myxx has a chance to drop Amulets and three new vanity weapons:
    - The Black Gold Bow
    - The Golden Cobra Staff
    - The White Lightning Sword
    (all other Myxx loot has been removed)

    Good luck to everyone!
    Just a suggestion, I think it would be better if the “Death Knight Vanity Set” has a skull effect for example like the (mimi ring). I think the color effect (dark purple) is fine but maybe just add skulls on the color effect because it would resemble a real like death knight.

    Btw, I forgot I have a question! Can we use lower level toons for this event or is there a specific level requirement to enter this event?

    Yes you can, the pve events are inclusive to all levels.

    If you chose a lower level it might be easier to use the solo option. Cinco kindly scaled this option to be like farming the mad mage's castle.

    Choosing the group option it is scaled to 4 party members , difficulty level similar to the shimmering shores event.

    Unless you are lucky to join a group of kind higher levels that welcome you to join them, or host a locked map of your own with you having the highest level character in the party.

    I would rather walk with a friend in the dark, than alone in the light.

    Thought after each event we fix the issues to make the next one better. Points got double to reduce time, solo mode got balanced for players who want it, points were awarded to all players in the area to make multi better, myxx elixir was added a while ago with demand, loot has been refreshed with demand and all has been going well so why did we feel the need to change the tresholds this time?when they have been working fine all this time and the amounts are just way too high in my opinion. I believe what Cinco always said is 'i want as many winners as possible' so with people having things to do and schools starting for some it just feels like an inconvenient and very unneeded change. To give you an idea about the time it would take i will use the data from the last group event. We organized guild runs with myxx elixir and stocked dmg+combo elixirs, remaking as soon as bosses are down to save most amount of time possible and even like that it took around 2mins for 350-400 points and if we use the 2mins for 350points as the base it would take solid 10 hours of efficient plat farming for 105k points. When you start reducing the plat spending, removing guild members and replacing them with randoms, and reducing combo amounts the time required keeps climbing.

    In short i believe most issues of previous events if not all have been solved and the point change is unnecessary and limits are too high for what we aim with these cool little events.
