<font color=darkgoldenrod>Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Deru trees of Marae Lassel are under attack, eh?  I sure hope they don't wither and die.  That's where I keep all my stuff!"
''Free Rumors'':
<br><br>Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Patriarchs?  Where?  Don't try and scare me like that, kid.  Yeah, their raids are pretty scary.  I'm afraid they may be after my secret stash of stout.  No, wait, I don't have a secret stash, because I drink it all as it comes in.  But if I did have one, I'd be pretty afraid of the Patriarchs taking it."
<font color=darkgoldenrod>
<br><br>Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Something even juicier's been lurking underneath those six ley node pyramids, eh?  Fascinating... I could have cleaned those tunnels out, if there had been enough stout in it for me.  Blighted Mana shards aren't really what gets me going."
:Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Deru trees of Marae Lassel are under attack, eh?  I sure hope they don't wither and die.  That's where I keep all my stuff!"
<br><br>Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Everybody's on the hunt for those Pristine Mana Shards!  I haven't had the heart to tell anyone that I found a great big chest full of those things on my last visit to Vissidal Island."
<br>Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I had no idea that they were needed for these mana forge contraptions so I just gave them to my little Merwart friends, who like to bash them into powder and sprinkle them on food.  I think it keeps their teeth and coats shiny... Or was I thinking of something else?"
<br><br>Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Seen the masks from this festival season?  Scary!  Intimidating!  They'll haunt my dreams!  While I'm sober, that is."
<br>Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "That was a hint to get me some stout, kid."
<br><br><font color=green>You give Ulgrim the Unpleasant Stout.</font>
<br>Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Does it strike you as unseemly that Asheron has given over all the node-cleansing work at those six pyramids to we frail humans?  I thought that was his specialty, defeating archdemons with the power of the light and whatnot.  I think Asheron's getting lazy in his old age."
<br><br><font color=green>You give Ulgrim the Unpleasant Stout.</font>

<br>Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Happy ninth anniversary!  Ninth anniversary of what?  You can't mean that.  The ninth anniversary of my presence on this benighted island, of course.  And, you know, humanity's freedom from Olthoi enslavement and things like that."
<br><br><font color=green>You give Ulgrim the Unpleasant Stout.</font>
<br>Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I do love the turn of the seasons.  Cider's particularly tempting this time of year.  And if I were the sort of sot who drank cider, I'd be particularly tempted to have some.  Bring me more stout!"
<br><br><font color=green>You give Ulgrim the Unpleasant Stout.</font>
<br>Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I saw Claude wander past the other day, wearing one of those new masks.  Seeing that disembodied snake head dangling above the floating, cloaked void of a Virindi body is almost enough to put one off the drink.  Almost."
<br><br><font color=green>You give Ulgrim the Unpleasant Stout.</font>
<br>Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Oh, a cool mug of delicious stout, how kind of you..."
<br>Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Hey, there was a Pristine Mana Shard in here!  What luck!"
<br>Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "No, of course I was kidding.  There wasn't any Pristine Mana Shard in my stout, that would just be unbelievable.  Actually it was a whole Mana Forge Key."
<br><br><font color=green>You give Ulgrim the Unpleasant Stout.</font>
<br>Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Oh, the Deru Trees this, and the Deru Trees that.  Dang Deru Trees, always fainting and wilting as soon as a ravening archdemon with acid for blood and a heart full of rot starts gnawing on their roots... what a bunch of nervous nellies!"
<br><br><font color=green>You give Ulgrim the Unpleasant Stout.</font>
<br>Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "You know who's acting a little differently these days?  The Virindi.  I think even they're getting a little zonked in their tiny, buzzing brains from the weird magic in the air, drifting between the ley lines.  Last thing you want to be around is a Virindi on the fritz!  Woowee, what a mess."</font>

=== New [[Quests]] ===
:Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Patriarchs?  Where?  Don't try and scare me like that, kid.  Yeah, their raids are pretty scary.  I'm afraid they may be after my secret stash of stout. No, wait, I don't have a secret stash, because I drink it all as it comes in. But if I did have one, I'd be pretty afraid of the Patriarchs taking it."
==== [[Blight Lord Lair Quest]] ====
:Collect 20 [[Blighted Mana Crystal]]s to begin this quest. Reward is a Mana Forge Key and xp. More details [[Blight Lord Lair Quest|here]].


==== [[Guardian of the Deru Trees of Marae Lassel]]====
:Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Something even juicier's been lurking underneath those six ley node pyramids, eh?  Fascinating... I could have cleaned those tunnels out, if there had been enough stout in it for me. Blighted Mana shards aren't really what gets me going."
:[[Aun Kimintari]] in [[Timaru]] gives a quest to help protect the Deru and weaken the Wharu (Olthoi). The quest is 150+ and gives a [[Braced Mana Forge Key]]. More details [[Guardian of the Deru Trees of Marae Lassel|here]].

:Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Everybody's on the hunt for those Pristine Mana Shards!  I haven't had the heart to tell anyone that I found a great big chest full of those things on my last visit to Vissidal Island."
==== [[T'Thuun's Marauders]] ====
:Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I had no idea that they were needed for these mana forge contraptions so I just gave them to my little Merwart friends, who like to bash them into powder and sprinkle them on food.  I think it keeps their teeth and coats shiny... Or was I thinking of something else?"


T'huun's forces are raiding different locations on Dereth. Each raid has Raiders or Marauders and at each location is a [[Royal Scout (T'Thuun's Marauders)|Royal Scout]]. He gives you three kill tasks for the local type of raiding creatures (Raiders or Marauders): 50 Moarsmen /Raiders, 50 Scalvus / Raiders, and 50 Falatacot Marauders / Raiders (Undead). All the raid monsters can drop [[Invoking Stone]]s (33% drop rate). You can turn 30 stones in at the Royal Scout for a title and it flags you for some unknown future content as well with [[Asheron's Investigator]] in Eastham.
:Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Seen the masks from this festival season?  Scary!  Intimidating!  They'll haunt my dreams!  While I'm sober, that is."
:Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "That was a hint to get me some stout, kid."</font>


Timer for the kill tasks is 6 days.
''Stout Rumors'':
<font color=darkgoldenrod>
:Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Does it strike you as unseemly that Asheron has given over all the node-cleansing work at those six pyramids to we frail humans?  I thought that was his specialty, defeating archdemons with the power of the light and whatnot.  I think Asheron's getting lazy in his old age."


Killing the Raiders / Marauders gives for each group 100 mill exp and a grand casino chest / mana forge key. Killing the spawn boss (Falatacot Patriarch's Inquisitor or Champion), who will appear after killing all the raiding monsters and sub bosses (Falatacot Patriarch Elite Raider or Falatacot Patriarch's Executioner), gives a title after speaking with one of the Royal Scouts. The bosses and sub bosses will always drop an invoking stone.
:Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Fall has come!  See the leaves turn, see the pumpkins sprout around Glenden Wood, see the kids wandering past on their way to the disco... Eh, what was that?"


:Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Happy ninth anniversary!  Ninth anniversary of what?  You can't mean that.  The ninth anniversary of my presence on this benighted island, of course.  And, you know, humanity's freedom from Olthoi enslavement and things like that."


<b>Current Raid Locations:</b>
:Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I do love the turn of the seasons. Cider's particularly tempting this time of year. And if I were the sort of sot who drank cider, I'd be particularly tempted to have some. Bring me more stout!"
* [[Tou Tou]] - Royal Scout by the Mage Tower, Marauders around the Lighthouse.
* [[Isle of Tears]] - Royal Scout by portal drop from Cragstone, Raiders around the portal to the [[Underground City]].
* [[Silyun]] - Royal Scout by the portal drop - Marauders.
* [[Asheron's Island]] - 17.1N, 71.6E - Royal Scout near portal drop, Raiders in the mountain.
* [[Candeth Keep]] - Royal Scout at 87.7S, 67.5W, Marauders around and inside the town.
* [[Colier Village]] - Royal Scout at 57.4N, 37.64E, Raiders around and inside town.
* [[Southern Osteth Menhir Ring]] - 69.5S, 40.0E Royal Scout on hill 69.5S 40.1E - Marauders in field around pyramide.
* [[Mount Esper]] (Crater) - 65.7N, 13.4E - Royal Scout 65.9N 14.0E near housing portals - Marauders in hill, beach and water.
* [[Festival Stone of Midsong]] - 0.0, 0.0 - Royal Scout at 0.1S, 0.1E - Marauders in field around pyramide.
* [[Ayan]] - Royal Scout at 60.5S - 88.0W - Marauders around and inside town.
* [[Arwic]] - Royal Scout on the catwalk above the south entrance.
* [[Mayoi]] - Royal Scout next to the lifestone.


<b>Current Status of the Raids:</b>
:Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I saw Claude wander past the other day, wearing one of those new masks.  Seeing that disembodied snake head dangling above the floating, cloaked void of a Virindi body is almost enough to put one off the drink.  Almost."


At the locations so far the spawns have been steadily expanding every time a new batch of creatures spawns. The first spawn was fairly sparse and less spread out around the area of the device. Now several spawns later the spawn in the case of Tou Tou is very thick and has expanded down to the beach below the lighthouse. The raid doesn't seem to be expanding toward the town though.  
:Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Oh, a cool mug of delicious stout, how kind of you..."
:Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Hey, there was a Pristine Mana Shard in here!  What luck!"
:Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "No, of course I was kidding. There wasn't any Pristine Mana Shard in my stout, that would just be unbelievable.  Actually it was a whole Mana Forge Key."


The trigger for what causes the spawn remains unknown. Leaving some of the creatures alive doesn't seem to have any effect unless the landblock can reset.  Tou-Tou spawn probably doesn't work if bots in town. However Cragstone's isle of tears is a bit more isolated.
:Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Oh, the Deru Trees this, and the Deru Trees that.  Dang Deru Trees, always fainting and wilting as soon as a ravening archdemon with acid for blood and a heart full of rot starts gnawing on their roots... what a bunch of nervous nellies!"</font>


On Wed Nov. 5th the following global message went out:

* [[Blight Lord Lair Quest]]
* [[Guardian of the Deru Trees of Marae Lassel]]


The raider spawns began including [[Patriarch's Elite Raider]]s, they give a local broadcast when killed: "<Player> kills the Elite Raider. Dark blood sprays from its wounds as it attempts to crawl back through the portal and collapses in a heap of rotting bones and flesh."  The Marauder spawns began including [[Patriarch's Executioner]]s that give the same local broadcast.

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Everybody's on the hunt for those Pristine Mana Shards! I haven't had the heart to tell anyone that I found a great big chest full of those things on my last visit to Vissidal Island."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I had no idea that they were needed for these mana forge contraptions so I just gave them to my little Merwart friends, who like to bash them into powder and sprinkle them on food. I think it keeps their teeth and coats shiny... Or was I thinking of something else?"
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Seen the masks from this festival season? Scary! Intimidating! They'll haunt my dreams! While I'm sober, that is."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "That was a hint to get me some stout, kid."

Stout Rumors:

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Does it strike you as unseemly that Asheron has given over all the node-cleansing work at those six pyramids to we frail humans? I thought that was his specialty, defeating archdemons with the power of the light and whatnot. I think Asheron's getting lazy in his old age."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Fall has come! See the leaves turn, see the pumpkins sprout around Glenden Wood, see the kids wandering past on their way to the disco... Eh, what was that?"
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Happy ninth anniversary! Ninth anniversary of what? You can't mean that. The ninth anniversary of my presence on this benighted island, of course. And, you know, humanity's freedom from Olthoi enslavement and things like that."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I do love the turn of the seasons. Cider's particularly tempting this time of year. And if I were the sort of sot who drank cider, I'd be particularly tempted to have some. Bring me more stout!"
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I saw Claude wander past the other day, wearing one of those new masks. Seeing that disembodied snake head dangling above the floating, cloaked void of a Virindi body is almost enough to put one off the drink. Almost."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Oh, a cool mug of delicious stout, how kind of you..."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Hey, there was a Pristine Mana Shard in here! What luck!"
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "No, of course I was kidding. There wasn't any Pristine Mana Shard in my stout, that would just be unbelievable. Actually it was a whole Mana Forge Key."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Oh, the Deru Trees this, and the Deru Trees that. Dang Deru Trees, always fainting and wilting as soon as a ravening archdemon with acid for blood and a heart full of rot starts gnawing on their roots... what a bunch of nervous nellies!"

Nodes now have a Gatestone that will transport you to a Blight Lord's Lair when given 20 Blighted Mana Crystals.

At the Moarsmen City there are now new spawns surrounding the Temple of T'thuun. The new spawns consist of Afessa Sclavus Soldiers, Moarsman Priors, Illu Sclavus, Sishalti Tentacles, and Blighted Moarsmen.

Also the spawn density all around the Moarsman City has been increased. The usual spawn now has about 4-5 Moarsmen rather than 2 like before the patch. The Moarsmen still don't drop regular loot but they do drop Pristine Shards at an increased rate.

Known Issues

  • Many of the Pumpkin Candies are overridden by VIII spells (for example Caramel Kukuur which adds 100 Melee Defense is overridden by Incantation of Melee Defense (+45).)
  • While one Beer override bug was fixed (Zongo's Strength), Focus and Coordination continue to be bugged. Similar problem exist with the glacial speed orb (and paralyzing fear from the virindi implant), which is overriden by the incantation of leaden feet.
  • More changes were made to the Pumpkin Candies. NoWorries explains in a post:
10-28-2008 - Link

The candies were never meant to be stored for year round use.

The timer was actually added last year to stop this, seeing as how many players wanted to hold on to some of these candies for fun past Halloween, a compromise was reached of making them non stackable but removing the timer. This way players can keep a few of these candies but can not store hundreds of them.

All previously collected candies will stay the way they were.

The monster fights still have a couple technical aspects to get right. So they were cut from this month to make sure they are fully functional when they are introduced. That town crier didn't get the memo.
