Return of the Mimi Cunt

I can't be the only one who's totally NOT excited at all, right? I don't think I've ever needed any of the mimic items.

https://ddowiki.com/page/Mimic_Hunt

Unless they've updated the rewards - which I doubt - then there's nothing here I'd need. Mimic Hunt has historically been more of a chore and annoyance than anything else. I'll probably spray myself with that "Mimic Repellant" or whatever the game calls it

Why are DDO events always so disappointing?

Maybe this year I'll finally get enough tokens or whatever to get a item.

Fuck the mimic hunt. Another fine example of SSG's complete inability to design things.

I have to admit, I'm surprised you're not one of those "OMG I build around the shitty mimic gear" gimps.

Good job I guess.

I’d like a necklace. Nice swap item for social skills. (Insert joke about needing help with social skills)

I've got a L20 necklace for the social swap item.

The level 4 belt and cloak are allright for low level items.

Other than that, not much to be had. Collectible crates I guess.

Pretty much the only thing I do with the tokens.  If I even bother turning them in.

Oh yeah, my favorite part about the necklaces is that the level 20 and level 16 versions are identical. Because reasons.

The bonus to social skills sounds nice on its face, but then when I actually broke it down, I realized it's wholly unnecessary. What quests even require bluff/diplo/intimidate? Partycrashers, but nobody runs that anymore. Crucible, but all you need is diplo; I typically slap on GH + Katra's Razor Wit and that's sufficient. I'm struggling to think of any other instances where I'd need those bonuses.

Another factor is that Cannith Crafting is still superior. At ML 10, you can craft +12, +6 insightful for +18. By comparison, ML 12 Mimic Necklace is +17. ML 16 Mimic Necklace is +20.

I've actually never even bothered to look at the gear. Every year the event comes up, I get maybe 5 or 6 tokens, and a few days later the event ends. I forget how many years they've been doing it but I've never had enough for an item. I like fighting mimics on occasion though, so the event is actually a lot of fine despite the lack of rewards.

Idiot.  The necklace stacks with the main (competency) bonus from cannith crafting.

And why the fuck would I ever need that high a bonus to Charisma skills? To get marginally more platinum from haggles? Oh yes, how wonderful - extra plat, because that's what everyone wants.

Like I mentioned earlier, I can barely think of any quests which require charisma skills. And, as I already pointed out, a Cannith crafted item can do the job just fine in those instances.

Since you're such a genius, please, enlighten me as to why this necklace is an amazing gamebreaker that everyone needs, in addition to making a Cannith crafted item.

Isn't Intimidate a cha skill? Its got Exceptional, Insightful, Quality, and a 10% buff; plus would stack with the base equipment bonus(or a diamond). I don't play intimi tanks so I don't know care how it works. but my guess is that's the logic for why cha skills are useful.

Okay, then I'll quote myself again: a Cannith Crafted item can do the job just fine in that instance. Even if you don't want to use a social skill in Make Believe, fighting the redcaps really doesn't take long at all.

It's funny how some people like to act as if they're all high and mighty intellectuals, when they can't be assed to back up their viewpoint.

Yeah no one's disputing that. I at least agree that all the mimic hunt gear is crap, especially for the scale of the grind.

Fucking this. I'd take it a step further and say its funny how people act as if they're high and mighty intellectuals for knowing a ton of shit about a video game. I got news: that doesn't make a person smart, it just highlights how badly misplaced their priorities are.

Just in case it matters, I still want the necklace as a swap item.

That is all.

So go get it, cow-boy. No one here will has the ability to stop you.

I spend most of my play-time hunting down items everyone says are hot garbage. I don't use most of them, its just how I have fun.

Elves in the tower, needing high bluff/diplomacy - that disables elves fighting for 3 (or 4?) encounters.  On Heroic, with an cannith item and max skill and reasonable charisma +4 stat items, tomes of stat and skill and I still fail that sequence.

Does anyone even run that quest? I've been back for about 2 months now, and have probably only seen 1 LFM for it. It's one of the least popular quests I can think of.

Anyway, if one or two niche quests out of hundreds is all you can offer, then yes - I stand by my initial sentiment that there's nothing exciting about this event.
