Night of Horrors Challenge Event - Halloween 2015

Wasnt in IRC after the event last night. Thx for the updated info.

I'd tie gift bags into the h coin reward system. like if you don't get any h coins you aren't eligible for a bag. people who just afk characters are still eligible to get a gift bag- I have received a necro reg, so there are decent items to be had there.

crafting shit is pretty solid this time.

I haven't seen any tinker kits but it seems like the number of scissors was increased, I didn't have as many people asking me for scissors this time.

Loved the event got a spooky candelabra found in a hidden chest!

How many more Night Of Horrors will there be?

Do we have any type of schedule yet?

yes, its the same event schedule as last year.

There were quite a lot of events already, but since halloween is over i dont know how many more there will be

The OP says 10+ more TBA so I assume there are more.

@Chris any idea on a set schedule yet?

any new calendar?
Easier for me to plan ;D

I think he might have said 11pm cst tonight for the next one.

Udaman. TY

Thanks! Glad this is still going! Real life has prevented me from attending any of these! Friday looks like the day I can actually make it! What character classes seem to be working best for this? Bards? Tamers? etc etc?

bard/weapon of choice seems best
you can also go as crafter/weapon of choice

Ill bring my bard archer.. My most versatile character. What can I bring? Anything or I start with nothing?

Start with nothing. The starting locations have some basic supplies available in various chests and boxes.

David heres the basic breakdown....

At the start you run around naked going through chests and other containers looking for anything useful. Sleeveless shirts/short pants/cloth squares for bandages, stam/heal/cure pots armor of choice/weapon type of choice. Make a restock macro with all of those things and hit the closest chests possible when you spawn asap and any other chests after that.

Once you get enough metal things that can be smelted down go to the hall of virtues and look for a crafter. There will be several there that will trade you your smeltables for your weapon of choice. FYI I have only seen blacksmiths there.....there might not be fletchers but there are plenty of crap NPC bows and arrows to be found. If you have a melee character of any type id suggest it.

After you are geared run around killing mobs. Try to focus on staying with the group doing the boss spawns and doing as much damage as possible to the boss.

*** There is a map out there somewhere that shows all of the boss spawn locations. I cant find a link. Look for it ***

After the final boss everyone respawns out of the instance and you get your holiday bag. MAKE SURE you are not overloaded so it doesnt drop to the floor. Your holiday bonus is based on several categories damage/damage to bosses/support and perhaps others.

I have a Melee Character that is 7x GM but doesn't have barding skills. Maybe Ill bring him. And thanks for the quick run down!

Here are some pictures of the fun so far!

Good shot of the crowd who turned out for the first run through.


The various groups pool together as they stream into British's defiled throne room.


The turnout was amazing.


FWOOM!


As most folks were making a mess the most honorable Lady Westra without a word began cleaning up after everyone.


The ever brave Erza Scarlet pounds out a few swords and pieces of armor as her knights defend the smithy to the last.


Stormhold's small mining party harvests some ore for weaponry.


Many Sosarians were nearly trampled to death in this crowd disaster.


Crafters dolling out much needed weapons as they dodge the undead. Pretty badass @Chris !! You've out done yourself this year.

Any chance we could have the event times in GMT as well for those of us the other side of the pond? I only ask because of the awesome GMT events calendar elsewhere on the site. I am using my phone's world clock but have aspergers and so it takes me a few minutes to work these things out and so i have missed the events more than once.
