Balam should have a 1/5 chance to drop "the blood drinker": http://www.uorenaissance.com/itemdetails/ThinLongsword/13B8/1 There were 3 before this year's event though, so looks like he hasn't yet.
There is also a skeletal blood knight's cutlass: http://www.uorenaissance.com/itemdetails/Scimitar/13B6/1 (which is actually a scimitar)
I've only seen magic weapons on corpses, not the container on the corpses. Do the containers actually hold magic weapons? I've yet to get my hands on any silver, but have looted dozens of magic weapons, including a few vanqs.
Damn ok, I'll have to stop skipping the containers then So to clarify...containers on corpses as well as in the open environment can produce silvers?
This event is the best ever. If you are struggling at finding items. PM me and I can possibly show you a thing or two. There are PLENTY of items EVERY WHERE in stage one. Bandages are the only pretty rare thing. -Moochowder
I believe this was a drop from the Skeletal Blood Knight's 2 Halloweens ago. Last year the drop was the Skeletal Blood Knights shield. I am unsure what the drop is this year for the knight, maybe its the cutlass again?
There was one this morning, not sure if Chris is planning another this evening but I haven't seen anything about it.
I have a question about getting extra coins.. When I hit on the boss at the bank, I get them, but the Acolyte in the top right int the castle, I never get anything.. and I've done quite a bit of damage on him, still nothing each time. Who do I hit on in the castle to get extra coins?..
The acolytes have a chance to drop one to each attacker but the guy who drops the most in the castle is Balam. I wouldn't hit him till the acolytes are dead though or else you make a ton of rotting corpses and liche lords and all other types of nastiness. Balam will drop 5 each to top attackers when he goes down though. In the event in general bosses to hit are: A Royal Mummy A vampire lord An Undead Dragon A necromancer Balam The black knight
Great, thanks for the helpful info.. most of the events I see the Acolytes survive.. and all that nasiness is all around,can't even go in more than a few seconds.. Is there a guide to the path to take.. I see most people go to the bank, cemetery then castle.. Are all those bosses you mentioned in this route? It's hard to even pull up life bars on the guys you listed because there are so many people around, so it would take me a while to even find them..
A short guide would be, Start in the inn run to where the alchemist shop would be in Brit normally around there the royal mummy will be stationed. Slay the mummy the southern walk way of Brit is now open follow this along to the bank, at the top of the bank lies the vampire lord and his 3 mistresses. Kill the mistresses first then the lord. At this point the path from the bank to the northern smith shop opens. From the northern smith shop you can teleport to the Brit graveyard, here the necromancer and his undead dragon reside. Slay these 2 and the path to Lord British's castle opens. Inside the castle resides Balam and his acolytes kill them to spawn the black knight who resides outside in the back of Lord Brtis castle. Slay him to win the event! All during this keep looking for barrels/crates and chests especially near the safe/resurrection areas in each zone they will have the supplies you need.
