On January 1st, 2021, we're introducing a new Legendary Feeder that will be used for treasure drops in high level hunting grounds. This feeder will be stocked with auction quality items and 1-2 items will go out per month. It's our goal to help ensure that players can earn high end fluff and powerful items from normal play and not just from events. When a legendary item goes out, it will always be in a new special chest to note its significance. Below is a list of a few potential items:
- T5 sigil staff
- Wound Transference Mirror
- Fully unlocked Two-Weapon Combat Vambraces with 7x adamantine blades, enhancive with +5 Brawling Bonus and +5 * Edged Weapon bonus
- Forehead gem
- T5 mana-infused armor
- T3 compartmentalized quiver
- Fully unlocked Animalistic Spirit weapon
- T3 Briar weapon
- "Bugsquasher" quarterstaff: 8x, enhancive +10 Two-handed weapons bonus and +10 brawling bonus, somewhat crit weighted (50 services), grapple flares, polearm flares, insect bane with grapple flares
Hunt well and good luck!

Right now, the plan is upper level hunting starting around level 90. Capped hunting has not had many reward carrots for a long time, and we'd like to change that. This is one step to do that. In the future we may expand how our treasure feeders work, but this is where we'd like to start.
In order to generate legendary treasure, the creature needs to be something that can generate a box that can contain a GM-created item. Creatures that typically scale to your level do not currently do that. These will be in our traditional hunting areas for the time being. If that ever changes, we'll announce it.
As for the other concerns mentioned, we hear you all loud and clear. We'll have some announcements about that very soon, as it has severely impacted the game in many areas.

I just dropped a few items into the Legendary Feeder (tm) and thought I'd share them with you!
- an everlasting pitcher, to provide you with a variety of plenty of drinks for you and your guests, along with some special thirst-quenching opportunities for you, if you so choose.
- a language translator that will allow you to speak and understand a language of your choice. This is one of the auction versions, so you can change the language if you would like (though this can only be done once a week).
- an 8x MistBlade (unlocked) that has animal creaturebane (disruption flares)
Good luck!

It doesn't, but a few staff members are going to tease what they're adding between now and then.
I've also added a tuning fork that is +15 for every sonic armament.
Lastly, credit to GameMaster Naijin who coded the system. He's also added global messaging (without revealing who found it) when an item goes out and is looking into what we need to do so we can allow all feeder items a chance to drop, even on creatures that don't normally drop boxes (such as bandits and elements in the Confluence).

Oooh, we're teasing feeder items? Well....a blackened vultite slasher inset with a silver star just went in and it just may have some briars ready to rock and roll on your foes. Also, is it magic or superglue that makes that jewel stick to your forehead?

And within a dark forge a legend was born,
An enchanted sword bearing the title, "Void Storm".
Massive and dark with both hands to swing,
Heads exploding, blood flying, an easier thing.
Between the sheer weighting and my powerful flare,
Your enemies will fear and approach with great care.
If desire me you do, and you really should,
Where legendaries may drop, is where I could..
Good luck!

In addition to the fully unlocked Animalistic Spirit weapon and T3 Compartmentalized Quiver that Estild already teased, you may find something else of note in the Legendary feeder.
Tugaroulu was distressed one morning to find that one of her favorite puppies had gone missing, cage and all, from her hut overnight. No amount of searching on the island could turn up the puppy, sadly, and she resigned herself that the poor creature had been stolen in the chaos of the visitors to her shop.
She can only hope that whoever manages to find the puppy will give her a good home, though Tugaroulu will remain up late into the night for many nights in the future, worrying at the fate of one of her charges.

Level 90 and higher.

I have two items that will be making their way to the Legendary Feeder shortly.
First is a decked out animate wand. Fully Tier3, fully unlocked messaging, with a few useful weapons inside:
--- Unlocked Abilities ---
Weapon Appearance: a pitted steel lance - None
Weapon Appearance: an ancient bone battle-axe - Terror Flares
Weapon Appearance: a wing-hilted low steel greatsword - Mind Wrack Flares
Weapon Appearance: a massive eonake sledgehammer - Blessed with Holy Water
Secondly, for those who believe that there is no such thing as a big enough hammer, there will be an adamantine tally maul that will find it's way to the world at some point in the future.
Enjoy.

Any level 90+ creature that is able to drop treasure (that means any silver, gem, or chest) is also eligible to drop a chest from the Legendary Feeder. That includes bandits, elementals, pirates, etc.

If you're hard capped or under an AFK penalty, you're not eligible for the Legendary Feeder.
