That's what I've been wanting ever since CC weapons were introduced in Wintersday. Of course, I would want them to be something I would use during regular game play.

So you'd want them to have max stats than? That would be quite fun I must admit

So am I and I hope not - no more grim reapers, the Reapers and Grenth are already looking like it, no more... no more...

Just throwing in my thoughts.
The description is probably a joke and it is a just a passive skill like Titans get plus Health regen and set enemies on fire eat time he is hit.

HIGHLY doubt it, they wouldn't use the same old skin or model for someone they put so much hype up for. Not to mention, some of the new PvP henchmen got new skins (the white mantle is a female knight<-never seen before|for one example), it is highly possible they made a new model for Dhuum if such minor guys got new skins.

The key word is right now - her words imply that at a later date we'll be able to obtain one. Though my hope is not high.

If the new quest skills are legit - no. It specifically states ally, and it does not look like a skill by Dhuum.

In fact, I hope that fighting Dhuum is not part of the one-time-only quests - I want to fight him many times!

Well, if you truly want them, you can texmod Mursaat Weapons from the BMP to look like candy corn.

I'd love some myself to use along with some candy corn tonics.

I guess it will be a solo quest. Spiritual Healing

And the allies could be the Reapers, a few Ghosts, King Frozenwind(?) and perhaps Grenth himself!

I am guessing the next two quests will both be released today and that they will let us choose to side with either the mad king or with dhuum, ala the xmas quests with dwayna and grenth (grentchies vs the snowmen).

That would explain the differences in the new skill descriptions.

Well hopefully you're right. I'd be pleasantly surprised if he turned out to be an all-new monster. I'm not gonna get my hopes up too much, though. Just gonna wait and see, I suppose.

Would be pretty funny if he turned out to be a white rabbit with insane skills, or something like that.

Anyway....here's hoping the new quest is a good one.

WHERE DO YOU THINK

W/

Are we suppose to go into the underworld in a normal party for this one? There is no option to use a tonic and go in via ToA reaper and the Mobstopper is an inventory item?

Looks like an interesting reward this time.



An everlasting mobstopper also appears in your inventory.

Well that was perhaps the easiest 4k I've ever made... Anyone know if the everlasting mobstoppers or the captured skeletons of dhuum can be traded?

What? No crying from the UWSC crowd yet? The skeletons are there even without the quest and hit through SF...

was pretty easy. any class can do this without aggo'ing a single aatxe, just wait for the skeleton to walk past the aatxe's and hit it once from far and it will run to you. 1 person and a healer is enough to kill it. skeleton must be less then 20% to capture it. easy quest.

The only issue is that you need to go into the underworld by normal means meaning that you need to be ascended etc.

I was pretty worried when I saw this was a party quest, but thankfully it's pretty easy to acomplish, I managed to find a great party to do it with pretty quickly too. But even doing it by yourself probably wouldn't be too much trouble.

Disappointed to hear the second quest is repeatable though, does that mean this is the end of them? No big reward? I was hoping for some kind of unique present for doing them, even if the quests themselves have been very enjoyable.

A fun little diversion those skeleton quests are.

I wonder if they'll be permanent? Seems like a SF killer, and if they drop Ectoplasm I don't think anyone else will mind them hanging around as with careful pulling & flagging they're easy prey.

I've found the following:

-You can get any number of everlasting mobstoppers by abandoning and reaccepting the quest (to be expected).
-You can use as many everlasting mobstoppers as you want for a session in UW (again, to be expected).
-You can't trade everlasting mobstoppers and captured skeletons to other players
-You can put everlasting mobstoppers and captured skeletons in storage and cash in the rewards on other characters with the quest
-Skeletons of Dhuum drop 4 glittering dust as their material, much like everything else.

That's all the info I've gathered so far

certainly hope that is the last quest as the rewards give me absolutely no incentive to spend any more time trying to get thru the 2nd quest (yes I am still incapable to doing it).
If its not, then I might try a few more times to get thru the 2nd one---
