KD Quest Update - Epic Loot!? · on 07/07/2011 01:46 PM CDT	1131
Now that a few runs are under our belt and we actually had something happen last night that several of us have been waiting for, I wanted to go into a tiny bit more detail about another facet of the quest that's new for DR Quests in general. Last night, the intrepid adventurers reached the point in the quest where they laid waste to an evil assassin who was hoping to thwart their escape. Upon dispatching the lout, the first few groups discovered he dropped things like an assassin's dark grey arm sheath with leather straps, an assassin's black wrist pouch, or a shadow-hued broadcloth assassin's backpack. but no one really commented on the fact that he was dropping anything different. In fact, we noticed a couple of people saying that "when he drops that sheath, I want it" when they came close to that point of the quest and then being slightly surprised when something other than the sheath dropped, but not commenting about it otherwise. Last night, the group discovered there were even more possible options... The assassin on the quest is set up to randomly drop one exceptional loot item from a pool of possible treasure. The first thing you'll notice is that almost all of them are "assassin's" items, which should already draw a bit of interest, as "assassin" is one of the professions on the restricted list for alterations. However, within his treasure pool there is a small set of what would best be described as "Epic drops". Purples, if you will. For example, last night's group discovered that he carried a dull black assassin's repeating crossbow, which they were able to liberate from his corpse. (Quite easily, I might add, since he was sort of dead at the time and offering little resistance.) There are at least two other "Epic drops" that have yet to be discovered and at least six additional items that consist of things like the backpack, sheath, and wrist pouch that fall into the Rare/Uncommon category, a few of which haven't been seen yet. I want to make this next part ABSOLUTELY CLEAR: Every one of these items will be a potential treasure drop on every quest run, including the runs after the "Bonus Runs" in July. EVERY group will get one treasure drop from the assassin and EVERY group has a shot at the Epic drops! Also, once the July dates are sold out (which shouldn't be long, at this rate), we'll be increasing the limit on ticket purchases per account from 3 up to a higher number, since people will be wanting to repeat the quest and folks will be a lot less troubled with folks in their group having gone before.
