Wooot, noon Fri - midnight TUESDAY Talk Like A Pirate Event I loved this last year, got a lot of grog, I love the fact that it has a timer! Nice that it's long this year, remember a lot of people missed on it last year because it was short and unannounced!

I hope I'm not the only one thinking this event is as lame as it gets. Seriously, an event around NPC chatter? Really?

The thing is the annoucement doesn't say anything about Grog dropping:| but re-reading the OP I guess it will, I withdraw my previous post.

I sincerely doubt we'll get something different. Delayed updates, skill updates starting to happen only once every 2 months, the XTH, etc. lead me to believe that it will just be grog.

Yay.................I guess.

I either find a way to fast farm grogs as a Monk, or I'll need to rapid-build a PvE char for this and run him to Rata Sum!

Wherever you can kill the fastest (probably raptors now). Special event items are not affected by the anti-farm code, so just whatever you can kill faster.

Me? I'm thinking more along the lines of farming Nicholas items, and selling both grog and items. Killing two yaks with one stone. <-- Yeah... that joke ruled. Yeah...

Because celebrating a day that used to have bonfires where people threw animal bones into them and wearing masks to settle spirits isn't stupid.

Or better yet celebrate a day that's used an excuse by marketer's to sell merchandise rather than the birth of a 'prophet'.

But, you know, religion and what not.

Got 2.5k drunk and another 1.5k in inventory. 6k minutes = 2,000 grogs = 8 stacks in 5 days.

Hmmmm... it's *possible*.

Good to hear. More consumables weekends = good. Event weekends where everyone wins (whether they farm or not) are a good thing.

And I just don't like pirate-talk, so the NPCs are going to get annoying fast for me. On the other hand, I'm rarely in Kamadan or LA these days anyways, so it won't matter.
