    You will need :

    - 3x The Face of the Death (entrance fee for Dungeon of Despair)
    - (optional) 50x Incense of Life

    per run.

    Pls reply guys the quiver is bugged? it says +5% attack speed with weapons (i translated it by myself so it isn't right maybe..) but when i equip it my attack speed stays the same. i thought it's maybe a bonus of the ghost aura but not , it's still 1,02 while the ghost aura is triggered.

    pleasant event on normal...
    got the GF bow---luckily i read forum before running event so i knew to mouse over regular looking drops to find uniques.

    cons/bugs?
    playing on painful didnt pay off...blue drops
    sarcophagus archmage guy does not drop any souls.... I think he should
    GF's uniques have exorbitant repair costs. i went from 20silver repairs on a no die run to over 2gold. I am being robbed on runs and forced to go back to old bow because my gold collecting is being jacked.
    NO ordinary and mighty essence drops like used to with sargon event. please add them to creepy castle DEVs
    ps- event needs autopickup on souls
    and a working counter on gruesome minion parts collected so i dont have to check inventory to see how much i still need to farm

    Opening the sarcophagus freely is probably a bug, it was most likely meant to be opened only for the quest.
    Anyway...

    -----------------------------------

    Gwenfara's axe and shield enchantments/skills are bugged.
    The weapon stacks 5 only on using the FotD skill, not on "each hit" of the FotD skill. It may just as well be a translation error.
    The shield has no default (1) block strength. o_O Really?! What's the use of block rate without block strength?
    The 5% attack speed enchantment doesn't work. The special effect for the shield doesn't stack with "each critical hit", it stacks only one critical hit per monster... but since I haven't tested it on a monster that takes more that 3-5 hits to die, it may also be a delay between critical hits that count :rolleyes:.

    Just an idea: It would've been nice if Gwenfara's items (weapon/offhand/cloak) were a set with some interesting/decent set bonuses. :cool:

    They have a lots of issues with everything that stacks on critical hit in general. Mage's book doesnt work too, it misses 50% of crits or more. Mage's ice talent synergy, or whatever it is called, that should eliminate frost cooldown for each critical hit also doesnt work, misses 50% of crits, and also looks to be one per mob, or one per second, not sure.

    Im pretty sure every talent or bonus which relies on the critical hits is bugged.

    Wow either you are insanely lucky or I am insanely unlucky. I've only had a couple runs when I could finish the quest in 1 run.

    So, I'm running map 1 of the event and I get a unique drop. I'm excited as this rarely happens, right? However, I'm level 50 and the item that dropped was level 40. This seems odd. Is this as designed? It will cost 34+ million to upgrade to level 55.

    It's quite random, I'd guess. Whether you're alone or in a group might matter... or the difficulty. The one time I got 9/10 was on mode 3. First couple runs I did were all mode 1 (testing-the-waters runs) and I've always got the amounts needed for the quest in question. But realized M2 is very easy so kept doing it on Excru. So far no other run without 10/10.

    EDIT - first run after posting that, again 9/10 on mode 3 xD.
    Dayum, that's an old one! Obviously not worth upgrading, so either keep it as a trophy or melt it xD. Grats, anyway :D.
    How a lv40 dropped at lv50 is indeed odd, tho. This can, at least, be used to update that unique's stats/page on the Wiki xD.

    Same old stats though, I posted the SC around a year ago.

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Anyway, ahoy there!, I found Jullov in the Creepy Castle!..., what the actual [QUITE LONG SELF EDIT]???

    I was running painful (take a note, painful), and after a few of them multiplied, with 6-7 Jullovs 3 of them were fire, one defense, one spartan, and some others I couldn't make out in all that freaking mess.

    Here's the freaking thing: They drop a bunch of manure, not even event progress, truly a waste of space, time and resources, 4-5k damage to my SW per fire wave from a fire Jullov while carrying 60% armor and 50% resistances (I don't even know how your fire waves/novas work anymore), and they're immune to Guardian's taunt, and of course, stuns.

    Thankfully, their HP is somewhat puny and after getting blocked by the teleporter Jullov and the Speedy one (lovely boosted by the Spartan), and consequentially killed by the fire waves a few times, got the most dangerous ones outta the way by purely spamming FS and got the win. Yes, the challenge might be fun if they actually dropped something mildly useful or event progress, from now on, Jullov and his family can die from starvation while waiting to ambush the next foolish hero that clicks on that barrel for all I care.

    No regards this time.

    Forgot to say that on map 1 you freeze for a second when you pick up an item.

    That's the "pick-up lag", it's cummulative and apparently omnipresent on every event they throw lately, been getting it more consistently since the anniversary arena, it get's fixed by restarting the client though, depending on how crippling it is you might need to restart it every 1 to 3-4 runs (that's my particular case).

    I had the opposite, only 1-2 runs on normal gave me 10/10 the rest on different difficulties gave me 8/10, 9/10, 7/10.
    Morinphen, you took all the luck :p but in my opinion, it's very random.

    Sorry that i havent read the whole thread,dunno if anyone has already brought it up, but i found out the 5%speed line of the offhand item is bugged.It didnt work

    I only had to reset my map. Maps 2 & 3 have been OK for me (granted, we clear those faster than we farm M1).
    Well, can't complain... though I wish I had luck where it matters, not this small RE quest xD.
    Yup, it's been said already. The events' uniques' effects don't work how they should either.

    You see, that's the problem i have as well, you get nice drops that you don't really need, but when you need something, it will drop once and then you get disconnected before you picked it up, leaving you with watering eyes :rolleyes:
    About the quest in question, will see how it will be during the mini, maybe the mini will bring the gods of luck with it.

    Now that the servers are live again, I say good fortune on those who wanted the Gwenfara weapon and didn't get it! Why, you ask? Because it would seem that in their fixing of the uniques, they also deleted any and all gems one might have had in them, even in the standard 4 slots (all the bigger problem the bigger gems you could've had socketed in). I, for one, had not dropped it either, but my brother's are as good as gone, not in the inventory, nowhere (and I'm sure he's not the only player out there who's in this situation). Somewhat fortunately, his characters are still young, so the loss ain't that big, but it still all his rubies he got until now. I was thinking about telling him to take them out this morning, but gave the idea up as I supposed they could do their job properly for once. How naive of me... never again. Now I wish I had told him. At least they did fix the faulty repair costs and didn't erase any dyes one might have had on the items in question.

    I had 4 of the Gwenfara Axes drop for me so far with just one being near max stats. I was also one of those who upgraded it to level 55, opened the 5th gem slot and filled with gems. After the update my dye job on it along with my gems were still present in my inventory along with the GOP's used to upgrade it. Why would these weapons come with random stats? The event is once per year, they are not tiered items and nor are they craftable. Why no set bonus?

    A few other things about event:
    - Nice job by those in the art/design department
    - Rewards could have been better like past Dragan/Halloween Events: Pumpkin Pet, Pumpkin Head, Dr. Jullov's zombie emote, this is where the broom mount should have been...
    - Is this the old Swerdfield map or a portion of it?
    - After the update you can no longer summon the Dark Mage in Creepy Castle. Was this intended to opened only once with the quest?
    - Progress bar was easily filled/completed which was nice for a change
    - Hopefully the mini event provides a greater challenge

    Actually one of the (few) things I got a kick out in this event is the Oldfield map. Many of the elements there, including the general map layout, come from a long forgotten map called Darbmoor. The mini-boos on the west side of the map is the old route to the also removed Grimmagstone dungeon.

    Luck be with ye,
    Mikey,
