Breaking news from north pole!

Red Squirrel · Post by **Red Squirrel** » Sun Dec 02, 2007 3:41 pm

The North Pole Press has released a breaking news article:

Hello, I am elf #91949, I work in quality control unit, well used to... dark elves have taken over our factory, yes, THE factory used to make toys for little kids. You are hearing this right, north pole has been taken over!

All fabrication has been outsourced to Dark Elf Kraft Administration Inc, or DEKAI. All they care about is making mass money through mass production of poorly designed toys.

This means, Tonka trucks are now made out of cheap plastic, instead of the durable metal you are too used to as a parent, after many times of tripping over the dump truck at night, and it still runs like its new. Board games are now made of cardboard instead of durable plastic, legos are now made out of old scrap wood and nails, doll houses are made from old shoe boxes, dolls themselves... I wont go there... tis sad.

They have even gone a step further, and are using coal and lead to manufacture products! Due to low market of these materials and their low cost, toys are mass produced with them and they make more profit!

We have tried to fight them off, but most of our elves have been brutally killed, some remain as hostage in the factory. Through our Santa Communication System, we have been deploying a possible plan of attack, but we need your help, all you have to do is

---END TRANSMISSION--

The north pole news network will try to re-establish contact. Due to the dark elves movement the news station was relocated in the hot lands of the tundra and only has a few news reporters up via satellite.

The North Pole News Network has received a telegram saying that the elf trying to transmit the data was brutally killed by dark elf troopers. These are powerful archers who have high accuracy. Help is needed to save Christmas, a committee has been formed to plan out plans of military deployment. It is rumored these elves have stolen magical stockings which may hold some very rare items. More news to come as we wait for investigators to inform us.

All joking aside, this is just a "preview" storyline so you can't get to the north pole yet

Newsflash!

An elf has made it to a safe civilized place and is working on helping you, help save Christmas!

Hello, I worked in quality control with 91949 who was unfortunately killed. We both left together through the north pole freeway but he was assassinated on our way.

I can't believe how hot it is here, I could have sworn it felt like it was above zero, but I don't think it's possible to even survive such heat, so lets not exaggerate. I could have sworn I saw liquid form water but it must of been very clear anti freeze or something.

I have brought with me a powerful item which will create moongates directly to the factory. I request everyone's help in fighting off the dark elves. Beware, these are highly skilled assassins! I strongly urge you not to go alone!

Next on the north pole news network, learn why boiling water in your igloo is a bad idea, but first, sports news...

lure one to a safe spot to solo them. Like anything else, if you lure too many you'll get ganked. Also, don't run into one large area. I tried that and 5 assasins were hiding there the whole time.

The stockings can also include peerless items, even ones not yet obtainable such as captured essence. These are used for some recipes.

How youre supposed to make mounted dreadhorn? i got the dread horn head for it but i cant find a way to make it.

Also i looked in aov museum and the small table under it says its rare, but as in osi chances to get the head are <5% shouldnt it be like very rare?
Just wondering cause some of them tables says very rare and in uostuff the osi chances for those are told to be atleast same or higher, when you comparate them.

I've gotten essence, some bark, and grizzled bones.

And dreadhorns head is a resource for a recipe or something I believe.

no its not a resource exactly. You can turn it into trophy but nothing else.
And you should not need resepice for it.

You need the pristine dread horn head in order to make one. Also, it should be on the very rare listing as most of the time you'll either get that mangled head or the horns. Normally you will need carpentry to make that mounted dreadhorn but the entry isn't in the carpentry list as I have not yet gotten around to adding all the remaining UOML entries to carpentry or tinkering.

hehe, easier said than done, sir! gotta see the situation from the not-so-good-player point of view. most people have been here, playing for ages, and they have accumulated suits of gods. agreed, been here a while, but that doesnt make me good or even properly geared player. so when i go to the santas shop all "lol wut" and get pierced by millions of dark elfy assassin poisoned critical hit leech life arrows, no sir, "didnt want christmas anyways, got my xbox 360 already, go "¤%/¤ yourself santa!"
