Damsels of DDO Episode 78, Night Revels II

Night Revels

The Damsels are three lady gamers who talk about things that are important to them in the world of Dungeons and Dragons Online. This week, Lessah decided she needed a new mask from the Night Revels event and Sahba decided it was time to teach her party a lesson about patience and tactics. The results were surprisingly good. Remember, it’s all fun and games until you hit someone in the head with a pumpkin! Thanks so much for listening!

Night Revels

This is in Delera’s Graveyard, in House Jorasco. Characters can enter one of several instances of Delera’s Graveyard, each with a different level range: Shared, Levels 1-5, Levels 4-9, Levels 8-13, Levels 12-17, Levels 16-20, Levels 20-25, and Levels 26-30!

When defeating monsters in the Graveyard, characters can receive Darkest Chocolate, which is used as a base ingredient for many recipes, or a Night Revels Key, which is used to enter one of the dungeons. You can also use a Draught of Midnight to get a chance to acquire Night Revels ingredients any time you defeat an undead creature, whether in the Graveyard or not. Additionally, Night-Black Coffee restores Hit Points and Spell Points while in a public area.

• Haverdashed – Provides Black Apples

• The Kobold’s Newest Ringleader – Provides Shadowy Caramel

• The Snitch and the Lich – Provides Pinches of Sinister Cinnamon
• Under New Ravagement – Provides Spooky Almonds
• Hayweird Foundry – Can provide any Night Revels crafting ingredient
• Getting Ahead in Lordsmarch Plaza – Can provide any Night Revels crafting ingredients
• Resurrection Chamber – Can provide Black Apples

The quests also provide Darkest Chocolate when completed.

• The Night Revels Keys stack in your character inventory up to 10 per slot.
• If you destroy too many undead too many levels below your own level, you will get a warning from the Greater Powers, Mabar’s Notice. If you persist, you’ll be punished for your actions with Mabar’s Interest, then with Mabar’s Anger, then with death.

Quote:

• These “challenges” are actually played like quests and have no set time limit; you can zerg through and finish within minutes or can go AFK in the instance and complete hours later.
• Named mob kills within the instance have a chance to drop Chocolate.
• For Under New Ravagement, The Snitch and the Lich, The Kobold’s Newest Ringleader, and Haverdashed:
  • Killing the End Boss awards 8 Chocolates on any level.
  • Final ingredient payout:
    • At level, you get 3 ingredients per star, up to a total of 15 ingredients.
    • If you enter the challenge at a level greater than your character level, you get +10% more rewards per level, up to a maximum of +50% (total: 23) for running the challenge at character level + 5 (maximum ingredient payout: 23).
• For Getting Ahead in Lordsmarch Palace and Hayweird Foundry:
  • Final ingredient payout:
    • (2017) You will gain score every time you gain a star. And you will get rewards equal to that score. At level, your base score (you can gain up till if you are inside whole time) is 6. Other level base score is +2=7, +4=8, +5~+8=9. So maximum reward payout is 9.
    • At level, you get one of each ingredient (including chocolate) per star, up to a total of 5
    • If you enter the challenge at a level greater than your character level, you get +10% more rewards per level, up to a maximum of +50% for running the challenge at character level + 5, rounded up (maximum ingredient payout: 8).
      • Rewards of up to 11 have been observed, though the mechanic (if any) for getting extra ingredients is currently unknown, and may be a bug that will be fixed.
• For Resurrection Chamber:
  • Final ingredient payout:
    • At level, each objective grants you the following score (total 20):
      • Slay the undead in the temple: 2
      • Slay Zanaduul, the Night Hag: 6
      • All others: 4
    • If you enter the challenge at a level greater than your character level, you get +10% more rewards per level, up to a maximum of +50% (total: 30) for running the challenge at character level + 5.
• A late-coming player who missed some objectives should not end the quest. The ingredient payout will be scaled by his rating. The experience for stars seems unaffected by this [Unverified].

All ingredients (Chocolate, Almond, Apple, Caramel and Cinnamon) and Night Revels Key state in their item description that they will expire and disappear near the end of the current year. So players cannot carry over these ingredients for this event next year and have to start over again. What actually happens is the name is changed; for instance, the keys now become rusty and can no longer be used.

Store-purchased Lasting Night Revels Keys (Bound to Account) won’t expire and carry over to next year.
