Editing Bronze Statues Attack (section)

== Summary ==
* April to May 16 2002.
* Town statues that initially casted beneficial spells, but on the 1st April 2002 some of the statues began debuffing players and even disappearing from their pedestals.
* Next, the statues started duplicating (see images) and attacking players.
* The statues dropped extremely large [[Bronze Statue Weapons|bronze weapons]] and statue parts that could be given to the Arcanum for experience.
* In May 2002, [[Bhab, Arcanum Tinkerer]] started giving out {{Itemlink|Etheric Seal}}s that could be used to open the base of the statues and enter the foundry portals.
* Inside the foundries were the "native cast" statues that needed to be destroyed by players to nullify the statue above. On May 16, 2002, once the last of the native casts were nullified, all the town statues released fireworks.
* The mechanical pieces that were dropped by the native casts could be handed in to [[Bhab, Arcanum Tinkerer]] for unique, life-size Commemorative Bronze Statues.
* The foundries can still be entered as part of the [[Bronze Statues Quest]].
