UOR Public Champ Group will be hosting our 1st PUBLIC HARROWER of 2020. Big thank you to PS and PwN guilds for their help. This will take place on 5/1/20 at 4pm EST!!!! *(time conversions will be listed at bottom) NEWBIE's guide to getting platinum at a Harrower event: How do you become eligible for platinum? With the current Harrower system, the top 45 damage dealers will earn plat. If you score under 500 damage, it is considered a negative score and you will not be eligible for plat. With this new system, it is probably best to bring a tamer. edit to add - ONE BOX- WE are expecting ALOT of attendance, please bring just ONE CHARACTER to plat with and engage the harrower with. If your pvping, bring as many as you want. if you die and need to bring another, its not a hard rule, just a rule to help share the plat away from the triple boxers and towards newer tamers/single box tamers. Archer: Very easy to do some damage. I recommend having 2 bows, an orcish bow and a magic bow. For stages 1 and 3, just stand a couple tiles away from the harrower and shoot. Expect to be teleported onto the harrower and attacked, so be at full stamina and paying attention because your life depends on you immediately getting off of the harrower's tile. Why is this? Well it has to do with monster AI and tile distance. While the harrower is teleport any random character in 12 tile range, it will only ATTACK the closest attacker. Take a gander at the screenshot below and lets use our imagination. The green holiday coins are the harrower. If you get teleported onto the Harrower, your distance is 0 which essentially means your about to die since you are likely the closest attacker. For stage 2, switch to the orcish bow since it has increased range, and you can fire away at the tentacles non-stop while being un-teleportable. Great phase to rack up a lot of damage. Non-Archer Dexxer: Seems sketchy huh? But again, look at the above screenshot. The gold coins are a distance of 1 from the Harrower, so you are possiblly being attacked if you stand there. The platinum coins are DIAGONAL relative to the Harrower, and come out to a distance of roughly 1.6 tiles from the harrower. This is important because there is inevitably going to be a swarm of dragons around the harrower, filling up all the gold tiles, and taking the brunt of the harrowers damage. If you are using a non-archer dexxer, just make sure to stay on a diagonal tile. Or put more simply, if you want to plat, stand on the plat. You will still be eligible to be teleported onto the Harrower, so pay attention and be ready to move when it happens. Tamer(BEST DPS/SAFETY): Say all kill and target the harrower for stage 1 or 2, or both. You can call your pets if they are getting low but that would mean you would need to run up, putting yourself in teleport range of the harrower. Just let the UO gods decide the fate of your beloved pets and stay out of teleport range. The only way you don't get platinum on a tamer is if you get teleported in and are dead when the harrower dies. Eval mage: Evaluating intelligence is basically required if you want to get platinum on a mage. Just cast energy bolt on the harrower. Always get out of teleport range while you meditate, and repeat. As an eval mage you also play an important role during phase 2 in killing the tentacles. Stand out of the tentacle aoe range and meteor swarm them. You can and often will have to target a few tiles away from the tentacle your aiming at. The Harrower (in both forms) will periodically teleport characters onto him, melee them, drain their stamina, and cast spells on them. I have never been teleported while invised or hiden. This gives tamers an advantage as you can attack with pets and then invis. Reactive Armor will mitigate much of the initial attack and gives you an opportunity to survive if teleported. Stamina Pots and Heal Pots will also help you survive. Knowing the above, if you stay buffed w/ Strengthen and full stamina and watch your clients carefully, you should be able to survive a teleport and heal up. 5. That being said, you will occasionally have characters get teleported and die - happens to all of us. Your damage dealt is not erased when you die. Quickly walk to another character of yours and resurrect yourself. You could still get plat. Do not expect other people to resurrect you. Be prepared and do it yourself. 6. Thieves will be waiting to steal your plat off your characters. Invis / hide your characters when the Harrower gets to 5% or lower HP. Carry a player made lockable box on each character. Cast Magic Lock on it. (Alternatively an armouir cannot be snooped) Make sure the box has at least 20 lbs worth of stuff in it. Tip: A halberd works well. When the Harrower dies, immediately tab to each client and move the platinum into the locked box. Tip: You can create a macro to have organizer agent do this on a loop. 7. Stay within 15ish tiles of Harrower, preferably hidden for when he dies. Leave quickly when you get your plat. Either gate out or recall out to a safe location. WITH THE CURRENT PLAT SYSTEM ONLY THE TOP 45 DAMAGERS WILL PLAT!!! Personally I just recall and drop my locked box immediately in the bank. Losing 20-60 plat to pick up a few thousand gold worth of gold, regs, and/or gems makes. n o. sense. Your pets are similarly not worth the trouble. Leave them and come back for them.
