The ones I remember are Chiconis, Dalimond, Sslanis, and Bristugo.

Quills and ice barrier still seem to conflict

Both damage shields. Working as intended.

Both damage shields. Working as intended.

Ice Barrier is the only one thats a damage shield.

Quills is a Damaging ability. But it doesn't absorb damage like Ice Barrier.

They are both removed after a certain amount of damage is done, but Quills is not a damage shield.

These have stacked since launch.

Quills is most definitely a damage shield. Ice Barrier... Unsure. It absorbs damage like Quills, but it doesn't send it back to the attacker. Not sure what that would classify as.

That means nothing at all.

I've always seen Ice Barrier as a shield boost in that it adds to resistances of specific types. I took it to be similar to the spells spirit/flame/ice/energy/nature resist, except it dissolves after 20 hits and it's melee instead of arcane/mystical damage types.

I ran an alt out to the Festival Crypt and it appears the spooky spiders and scary zombies aren't dropping any costumes this year. I know a couple years ago I found skeleton, female ghost, male ghost, female zombie, male zombie for each biped race plus a special zombie(biped) costume. For dragon it was ghost juvenile, adult, and ancient costumes.

This time it appears the only costumes are the biped mummy and dragon zombie ones sold by the vendor Alistair. Was this intended?

One other detail I noticed, the masks and dragon scales offered for sale by Jacques listed all for my biped in the usable column. I didn't run my dragon over to see if it said the biped masks were usable to dragon.

I was also wondering if there would be a Gnomekindle festival this winter?

Thanks,

I'm pretty sure Quills doesn't absorb damage, only returns it just like CoT...

I can't help but feel there was a little miscommunication there about what is defined as a 'damage shield'.
Ice Barrier certain is a sheild against physical damage, but I'm under the impression that a 'damage shield' is generally accepted to be an ability that reflects damage, hence Ice Barrier is not a damage shield, and Glaring Quills is.

Yes... You are arguing semantics. Internally though Ice Barrier was keyworded as a damage shield. Thats why it was conflicting with Quills. It'll be fixed with the next patch.

I know it's a bit late but:

I don't understand all the fuss about the huntress and mobs between Kion and Parsinia. Simply run along the beach and all you have to deal with are a few sand pygmies. All the other mobs aren't agressive.

There was a big fuss when she was gone too.

I also found that the festival "pants" are missing off the vendor. <wants his pumpkin pants for the kitty... > Would have to check a different alt to see if all the masks are back. I can't remember them all.

[Gengel]

Uploaded a screen capture.

Stone of Revelry does not hit Inhibition for damage nor revelry.

I switched to talisman, that is in my inventory, and I start to hit with revelry with no damage.

I can upload the details of the club with the stone inserted if needed. I am only allowed one attachment per post.

Target effect is... interesting

I started a new Hatchling , did all quests in NT but diddn't get the quest that directs me to Kion.
The Trophy Hunter in Kion want's Giant Sand Beetle Eye's but they stopt to drop them.
Instead they drop Tremendous Sand Beetle Carapace, (Hoard Value 25) and Tremendous SB Mandible , use for Tech ? nothing showed up.
They drop very few Mettle (Killed about 20 , 5 Mettle 1 Mandible)
The Town Marshal gives out quest to kill a lot of different mobs, but doesn't matter what you chose, he always wants Turquoise Golems.

This really su*k's, You apply a big patch, and one of the key parts for lvl'ing new chars doesn't work.

Sorry for my bad English.

[Velea]

I started a new Hatchling , did all quests in NT but diddn't get the quest that directs me to Kion.

Then you did not do all the quest in New Trismus, because Kerian specifically has a quest Kerian's Quest: Carry a Status Report to Gerix in Kion.

You're only partly correct here, but you are right that some of those quests are bugged. It has already been reported and will be fixed with the next patch. The quests can still be completed by killing Turquoise golems until that patch is applied.

Do you mean that a dragon has to do all the other quests apart from the dragon quests before Kerian provides the pointer quest?

Simply completing the dragon quests is insufficient?

[Velea]

No. What I am saying is just what I said... the quest that the person is looking for exists.

I'm not sure what you mean by "simply completing the dragon quests", because Kerian's quests ARE dragon's quests.

[zeguso]

I made 5 quest at Tut island, i made 8 Kerian's Quest, i meditated at the shrine in NT.
I got the new breastplates, than Avariatus told me to visit the Kerian again. The Crafter Trainer told me to go out to the biped in the village and speak with them.
I did this also, made the quest,s the Bipeds gave me.
I got the emblem: Defender of NT.
I made: The withered Bane.
I made: Valor and Vigilance.
I made: Jeremiah Truehearts Request.

What can i do more ?
