Get "My Barky" from Esmi just for the fun of it... or craft him into a power-pet!

To give "Barky" a stat boost...
- Purchase "My Barky" from Esmi for tokens.
- Use "My Barky" in combination with looted crafting components and recipes to craft trade-friendly "Barky" (with Esmi's help).
- Then you can use trade-friendly "Barky," more looted components and recipes to craft one of three (3) evolved companions:
- Hard Barky

- Wild Barky

- Greedy Lord Barksdale


Dark Hollow Event Tokens
- You will earn tokens for completing either of the event scenarios.
- They are listed as "Hollows" in your satchel:

- If you have Event Tokens left over from the Birthday Celebration you can use them to purchase Hollows (exchange rate is 2:1).
- Esmi sells most items for Hollows, a few for Platinum and two 'currency conversion' packs for the Birthday Event Tokens.

How to Play
- Use the "Let's Play" option when talking to Esmi to bring up the 'Legendary Events' campaign category of your World Map.

- Host a game with a Password to get the option to Force Start either scenario.




Hope you enjoy saving Dark Hollow! :-)

What section are the arcane drops at

I’ve been watching your comments on the other thread too and I’m not sure if you can’t read or just want to annoy ppl.

[Tpfelblatt]

You have listed "crafting recipe for Admiral's Funeral Dress and Bicorne" as loot from locked Dark Hollow Settler's crate Does this mean that the dropped Funeral Dress and Bicorne are character-bound and have to be crafted to be made trade-friendly? And are the contents of locked and unlocked Dark Hollow Settler's crate the same?

[Vapourised]

Just confused about the locked crate.
Does it only drop mythic weapons or other mythic pieces too?

[Cinco]

Both crafted and looted versions of the Admiral's Funeral vanity are trade-friendly.
Contents of the locked and unlocked are the same. Difference is price and trade status.
Unlocked costs 100 for a single instant pull.
Locked costs 50 for a trade-friendly crate that you (or whomever you trade it to) can open for 5 Platinum.

wow looks awesome! Will definitely return for this one. Ty STS

Cinco why did u play with the honor sets.. pvp so different now we dont like it. You have to switch it back this just ruins ffa style and everything not sure if u did dmg reduction or increased armor or something but its destroying the ends of honor pvp.

[Vapourised]

Yeah I’ve been experiencing the same issue with L100 honor sets. There appears to be a big dmg reduction.
However, 105 elite honor does not seem to have this issue funnily enough

Change Honor pvp back to what it was please.

Every so often it seems that the dmg modifiers get changed and dmg gets reduced drastically, making level 100 Honor pvp (and other pvp levels/gear) unbalanced. I think this has accidentally happened 3 times over the last year.

Hopefully this was just another accident and can be fixed in the update tomorrow or sooner. There is a 5v5 Honor tourney currently going on and this will no doubt affect it if not changed.

It's a global dmg reduction, most likely to reduce dmg at myth pvp and since it's a global modifier honor is effected, which shouldn't be the case, honor is unplayable now for most of the part and about elite, it took 9 full combos to kill one mage elite vs elite. No point.

And this global dmg reduction wont solve myth pvp, seriously. Auto dmage (arcane boat) is too high either lower it or reduce the range significantly or both. Suppressing the skill damage for auto damage is one of the worst thing to do now since buff debuffs already playing minimal role here.
I mean really what in the world in PL a high auto damage bow got 13m+ range?

2- No point rhinos almost all damage at one combo, it's ridiculous already and since even after dmg reduction rhinos will be still able to do 2hit kill because of that the difference I can clearly see will be more, rhino 2 hit kill (one combo) and it will require more skill to kill rhino.
Again what in the world rhino is doing 2 hit kill since L100 pvp?

We want pvp back to how it used be, take it all back!

[Cinco]

Changes to Honor were not intentional. We are looking into what might have caused this change (as nothing was deliberately changed in the data that governs Honor balance).

For Escort please reward us tokens once we kill all the mobs, waiting for the wagon is slow. Also for Defense, the end screen is in the middle of our screens so we cant see the loot.

If you patch, the defense end screen can be minimized.

More drops, only been 1 day and everyone has everything

[Dolloway]

Not sure I understand how points are scored for each run. It honestly seems random unless I'm missing something?

I've mostly been running Escort. According to this post, players receive 50 points for completing each encounter for having Esmi's wagon survive for a total of 150 points and an additional 50 points for killing Amok, making the total points able to be received for a run 200.

However, I'm getting a seemingly random number of points between 200, 250, 450, 500, 550, 600 (650?), 750, and 800. Probably others too, but these are numbers that I have noticed thus far.

I'm fine if you decided to increase the points players are eligible to receive each run, but I still don't understand why it's seemingly random between 250-800 points. I'm doing the same thing each run.

Edit: Sometimes when I remake the map, it seems like I earn an extra 50-100 points at random as well.
