I haven't gotten any resource from the factory last week. Oh well, at least I still got lots of colored boards, skill deeds, checks, and pet bonding deeds.

Just some bad luck. The boards are nice for making furniture and items though.

Yeah, not a bad haul anyway. I'm reserving those boards till I got time for my merchant. I hope I'll have a better streak this week.

With an alchemist and a tinker, you can now be VERY creative with the items at hand, from explosion pots, coal ore, and land mines. Wild fire works great to fire off the ore too, so no need for camping skill. Oh and camp fires will ignite it as well.

Hope in the North Pole:

It looks as if the dark elves are being run down at a slightly faster pace. They seem to be leaving mounts of coal all over the place, and we have been burning it, and killing them with their own fire! We still need your help to completly estinguish the dark elves and regain our ground. Rumors have it that something very big and nasty is on the way, and its worse then Santa asking who screwed up his Tim Horton's coffee order!

Message found from a dark elf trooper, translated to english from another language:

Ha ha ha, all your presents are belong to us! You have no chance to survive make your time! You turn all into coal and burn! ha ha ha ha! You shall witness giant big snow man that destroys every person! ha ha ha ha

Elven forces have urged everyone to stock up on coal, as there is one nasty plan ahead to fight fire with fire, be prepared!

Alchemists and tinkers should also consider creating as many explosion potions and land mines as possible.

Message broadcast from Santa Clause, who is now in a secure location: Hohoho!! Merry Christmas everyone, and thank you for your military efforts, something very magical has occurred tonight, and the dark elven forces have been distinguished to a degree at which we have completed all productions! I will be delivering presents to every house in Sosaria tonight! I still urge to be on the look out as some have rumored something nasty but so far all is going our way, Hohoho!

PS: If you did not put up your Christmas tree, do so before midnight!

Breaking news: Santa Clause was completly lost in transit while doing a quick test run with the sled before proceeding to go house to house. The CIA and FBI have been investigating the issue and have so far been unable to reveal any information as to what happened.

As the search continues we urge everyone to not panic as there is a hope, due to some traces of very heavy snow piles leading towards the entrance of paroxysmus lair.

Meanwhile elves are still fighting off the dark elves, but Santa's side still remains much stronger then ever.

The abominable snow man has been spotted in santa's factory! It is believed that killing him will allow Santa to finally deliver presents to every house! Help the elves kill him, beware, he is near immune to spells and has very high resists, but his major weakness is fire!

Fire damage from area fields, land mines, explosion potions will help kill him at maximum speed! Paladins with consecrate weapon will also be able to hit its weakness, which is fire.

Tip: scatter large piles of coal ore and light them on fire with fire spells and keep the monster in that area.

The snow monster has been killed! All citizens of Sosaria have now received a gift at their door step! The elven operations continue to ensure next year's Christmas is a success as well! And perhaps with less military conflict this time.... or we shall see....

You sure it was completely empty? I can see not having runics or what not, but the deco is 100% chance for 5 to drop.

It's logically impossible.... but its still doing it, I just checked some around. this is totally fucked up. So much for taking a break tonight.

I'll try to figure out WTF is going on and do a rerun sometimes tomorrow. What sucks is this will flood the market since some DID get full boxes but its not really possible to track who got stuff and who did not, at this point, unless I do a server revert but I'd want to avoid that...

Yeah this makes no sense at all, just tested on TC1 and it works fine, don't know why it fucked on live (well thats usually what happens...). And yeah a revert is not really worth it, think I'll unfortunatly have to leave this go.... on the bright side there is more runics and peerless items in the market so it may slightly lower prices for buying off those who got some.

I don't really want to do a re-run since chances are it will screw up again, and it will flood the market for those that do work.
