The pendants have gone through a significant update and are currently live in game.

Existing pendants that aren't completed have been altered to be "a four-ringed metal pendant" going forward. Pendants that are currently out there will update upon ANALYZING it, or various other verbs.

Completed pendants will now '''randomly''' change on placing the 4th moon into it to one of 11 different metals. They won't be just kelyn anymore. Four of the metals are considered rare and don't happen as often.

What do these changes do? Well it's cosmetic to the pendant and we have some higher rarity metals in the group (like krodera). It ALSO controls the color of the haze. Kelyn has been updated to give an incandescent green haze. Something like black ora gives a sinister black haze. Each metal gives a unique color.

You cannot alter the material of a pendant, so it's completely random which it will transform to upon completion! Enjoy the hunt!

To everyone who already has completed a pendant, please email me so we can update your pendant. People with incomplete pendants do not need any sort of GM intervention.

Huge thank you to GM Haliste and two Platinum players for the idea.

The metals are all pretty nice. In terms of rarity, I'm using common and rare relative to the item. You won't find steel.

It's a rarity chart, so you'll see more of the "common" ones. Prime only saw 1 rare that I'm aware of. But two of them can still be made, and I know parts are being sold to at least one.

Seems I have to post about a POLICY 7 issue that has come up.

It seems a few of the pendants that went out may have caused a bug that would leave the moon you tried to place inside it still in your hand. If this happened to you, please place an ASSIST and let us know, as well as turn over any moons that didn't physically go into the pendant. As of right now, we know there is one pendant that could still be completed. It's unclear as of right now if anyone used a buggy Makiri moon to complete a pendant. If you did, please tell us.

This also means people should be very leery of purchasing a Makiri moon from another player, should you be wishing to complete that final pendant that is out there. If you have the final Makiri moon and would like to confirm with me how legitimate it is, please email me (using the link to the left). If the golvern segment hasn't been combined, that would also be helpful to let me know.

Moonshards go into the pendant after you make each moon! More details soon! Will make sense once that info is released.

Subject: Deets

Hey everyone. I know information has been lacking about this run, but the updates became a lot bigger than I anticipated. With Platinum's beta testing, I've been operating on about 3 to 4 hours of sleep for the last week because I've been sinking in some serious hours with the development of this event. I know you all want info, and I appreciate Platinum keeping a closed lip about it.

There is going to be a certain element to be discovered here. Not so much inventory. Most shops either have signs or things are obvious this time around. Lots of new inventory (or updated with new properties). The new collectible system has gone over very well in Platinum, but a lot of it is going to be for you to find out. The collectible system is a new layer to the arena and (mostly) sewers. There is no additional cost, nothing is lost or sacrificed to have this new system.

There are some new arena mechanics to help with resource (mana/stamina) management. The announcer has some new dialogue about this. We have 3 new champions, an orc, a tattooed maniac, and hallowed zealot (in game descriptions don't quite match these descriptions) -- the hobgoblin, mezic, and bendith have been retired. The goblin and stone troll in the regular matches have been replaced with a troll slaver and a vor'taz. Some descriptions have been updated. Stealth builds don't get the double whammy on being pulled from hiding with the dodge mechanics. You'll still get pulled when performing most the moves. Just not the actual dodge.

Two new NPCs are included with some history and questions they can answer. One NPC, a dwarven archaeologist, buys the new MoonShards that you can find in the sewers. This will make more sense once people start getting involved. The other is a rat catcher in the sewers that will buy your rats, should you not want them anymore. Both of these pay in bloodscrip that gets added directly to your character's TICKET amount.

There is a new area, the underground temple, which is across from the actual arena entrance where you use a slip to fight. It is part of the background of the area and houses the dwarf NPC. The temple has a direct tie in to the new collectible system.

There were a plethora of fixes on the GM side that helps with better tracking, better messaging, and more options for a wider variety of players to enjoy both the arena and sewers.

You all should be seeing a new email tonight with some of this information. The way we're handling the marketing and hype is a little different, hence my "soons" over and over. We're trying something new. It doesn't help those of you chomping at the bit for info here. I know I've been much more forthcoming with pre-event information. But I've really been working hard to get this out. I didn't want this to be just "another run." It comes with many new features.

See you tomorrow.
