Shadow’s Awakening – Echoes of the Blighted Realm

Shadow's Awakening - Echoes of the Blighted Realm

This Halloween our land is once again blighted by evil. Strange cursed antiquities have found their way into buried treasure chests and digging up treasure has become more dangerous as you may, by doing so, summon a terrible creature, a Manifestation of Evil. <h3>Antiquities</h3> <ul> <li>The antiquities will appear in treasure chests with a frequency based on the difficulty of the chest.  The higher the level of the chest, the more antiquities you can find!</li> <li>Antiquities come in a variety of random prefixes and suffixes</li> <li>Antiquities come in a variety of common and rare hues</li> </ul> <h3>Manifestation of Evil</h3> <ul> <li data-stringify-indent="1" data-stringify-border="0">All players will contribute towards the spawning of the boss by opening treasure chests of any level.</li> <li data-stringify-indent="1" data-stringify-border="0">Progress towards spawning the boss increases with the difficulty of treasure chests opened.</li> <li data-stringify-indent="1" data-stringify-border="0">Players can battle the Manifestation of Evil for a chance to collect special rewards, including rare items in rare hues.</li> <li data-stringify-indent="1" data-stringify-border="0">When the Manifestation of Evil is summoned, players that have been treasure hunting will be notified of the boss’s location</li> <li data-stringify-indent="1" data-stringify-border="0">Town Criers will also notify players when the Manifestation of Evil has been spotted</li> </ul> This terrible creature is not alone, he will summon to his aid shadow reavers, unless you are quick enough to destroy their portals before they come through them!  The battle may also catch the attention of a tameable shadow hound. Strange happenings elsewhere have caused our familiar nightmares to spawn in unusual hues, and in previously unknown locations: <ul> <li>Covetous Mountains (Fel &amp; Tram) <a href="https://uo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/nightmare-covetous.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-33288" src="https://uo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/nightmare-covetous.jpg" alt="" width="283" height="351" /></a></li> <li>Hythloth Level 4 (Fel &amp; Tram) <a href="https://uo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/nightmare-hytloth.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-33290" src="https://uo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/nightmare-hytloth.jpg" alt="" width="261" height="254" /></a></li> <li>The Southern Lost Lands (Fel &amp; Tram) <a href="https://uo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/nightmare-lostlands.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-33289" src="https://uo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/nightmare-lostlands-300x187.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="187" /></a> <a href="https://uo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/nightmare_hues.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-32967 alignnone" src="https://uo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/nightmare_hues-300x257.png" alt="" width="300" height="257" /></a></li> </ul> <h3>Rewards</h3> <ul> <li>Shadow Satchel, Contains a random Page of Lore (1 of 10 pages) Gems and Gold</li> <li>Reward titles: <ul> <li>the Lightbringer</li> <li>the Purifier</li> <li>the Relic Hunter</li> </ul> </li> <li>Portal Fragment <ul> <li>Common and rare hues</li> </ul> </li> <li>Lantern of Shadows <ul> <li>Prefixed with player's name</li> <li>Common and rare hues</li> </ul> </li> <li>Codex of Shadows <ul> <li>Spellbook</li> <li>+20 Magery</li> <li>+20 Meditation</li> <li>+5 Lower Mana Cost</li> <li>10% Lower Reagent Cost</li> <li>Faster Cast Recovery 2</li> </ul> </li> <li>Shadowbane Tabard, <ul> <li>8% Lower Mana Cost</li> <li>10% Hit Chance Increase</li> <li>10% Defense Chance Increase</li> </ul> </li> <li>Bulwark of Shadows <ul> <li>Chaos Shield/ Gargish Chaos Shield</li> <li>Soul Charge 30%</li> <li>Spell Channeling</li> <li>Faster Cast Recovery 1</li> <li>Lower Mana Cost 8%</li> <li>Lower Reagent Cost 15%</li> <li>Hit Point Regeneration 3</li> <li>Mana Regeneration 3</li> </ul> </li> <li>Bulwark of Light <ul> <li>Heater Shield/ Large Plate Shield</li> <li>Damage Increase: 30%</li> <li>Swing Speed Increase: 10%</li> <li>Faster Casting 1</li> <li>Hit Point Increase 5</li> <li>Lower Mana Cost 5%</li> <li>Defense Chance Increase 20%</li> <li>Mana Regeneration 4</li> <li>10% Healing Bonus</li> </ul> </li> <li>Shadows Fury <ul> <li>Composite Bow/Soul Glaive</li> <li>Energy Damage 100%</li> <li>Swing Speed Increase: 30%</li> <li>Hit Lower Attack 50%</li> <li>Hit Mana Leech: 50%</li> <li>Hit Stamina Leech: 50%</li> <li>Hit Life Leech: 50%</li> <li>Hit Energy Area: 70%</li> <li>Damage Increase: 30%</li> <li>Durability 255/255</li> </ul> </li> </ul>
