Since what has been dropping in the Haunted Halls chests on Lamannia is an early prototype, I thought I would share what is actually planned for Haunted Halls treasure. As mentioned a bit back, the quest offers six “classic” items, inspired by treasure in the original module. Each item can be upgraded once, using Zhentarim tokens. The tokens drop in modest rates in the “core” version of the quest and fair rates in the extended version. They also drop at different rates between Normal, Hard, and Elite.

These items will have no or very small drop rates from the core and extended “main bosses” - you’ll primarily win them from the challenging optionals found beyond them:

* Giant Skeleton: Lantern Ring, Purple Dragon Shield
* Mummy: Magestar, Manual of Stealthy Pilfering
* Miior: Libram, Eidolon Necklace
* White Dragon: all the items

On to the items themselves:

And as a bonus, we have a few named items planned specifically for the Thunderholme landscape. I'll be sharing more about the "dwarven forge" system which some have you have seen the crafting station for on the Lamannia server, and about the named Raid items next week. These items are neither of those - they are found in the chests of bosses found in the halls of Thunderholme itself.

Deathwyrm Cloak

It's sad that some of these items in this state will never be used... ever.

U21 LOOT: COUNCILED! 

how about getting off your asses and posting in that loot thread?  or was this pile of dog vomit in part due to your feedback?

Thanks Jerry's Kids! 

Wow,  new loo-


Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

I like how the added throwing weapons. . .that are not shuriken's and thus never be used 

Garbage

the libram of silver magic is okay for absolute spell casting damage min maxers, but most of this is utter garbage.

Yes, but shiradi also has that kind of language, so you can't really tell if it'll be per proc or per spell.  If it's per proc, then it'll be a good item.  144 radiance + lore on a ring slot is already quite strong, it'll be top priority for divines.  For sorcs, assuming it's per proc, it'll roughly be a 2-3% DPS increase compared to sage's ring.  I like it.  Unique item effects are what we need, not just inflated numbers like we got in the last real update.

Watch what you say, your stroking his ego. I'm not saying you're wrong, just watch what you say.

Also... Magestar might be alright.

1 magic missile cast at the wearer in lich form = utter annihilation.

I won't be surprised if they eff it up and the trinket actually casts HEAL on the poor lich formed guy and damages for 20d10 + 200hp.

Will the Exceptional +2 stats still stack with +1 Exceptional stats like they did before MotU?  If so, ugh, not this shit again.

I like the shield. Too bad sword and board sucks.

The worst part is we are going to need comms of valor to do anything to them.
