NM... got my answer, thanks
There is a rare task in proffesions that gives you permanent version of those two items.
It also provides yet another thing for solo lvl 60 PvE players to do - something that was somewhat lacking before Sharandar and this event.
I have two primary alts, one (a female half-elf DC) really wants the Sunite outfit - already crafted the pants and the headgear, and just saving up for the garb - and yes, the pig companion and the water stuff too. My other alt is a male dwarf GF, and the armored boar is exactly what I wanted for him.
So, overall, I am very happy with this - thank you.
I have downed more healing potions fighting these things than any one quest ever done so far in this game.
The whole Northen Hemisphere is enjoying summer at the moment.
Everything is hard when you are starting, but there are things you can do to make it easier - get a good companion, get the best gear you can afford, learn to use your class powers properly and so on. You might want to head over to the class forums and ask for advice for your class.
This has nothing to do with being hard when starting.
If you read what I said again, it is THIS EVENT that is harder hitting than any other solo quest I have done thus far. I find companions not really necessary for solo quests, and even using them with this event, they die very easily to trolls or the non kobold minions. I have to chug so many heal potions going against these things, but I don't when doing the quest lines.
Simple solution. Don't go far enough into the flower gathering area to run into any of these. The spawns nearer to the entrance are only minions and hurlers. They respawn so quickly you can basically run back and forth between two or three points and keep yourself quite busy. (Incidentally, on a level 60 character, I was using a level 10 man-at-arms companion last night just for the sake of training something new and his survivability against these monsters was astonishing. I don't even have any gear or runes on him.)

However the Event is hardly all levels friendly. I'm only playing with my Suneite PC and at level 20-22 going much beyond the first hill of kobolds can easily get into a death situation mostly because of respawn rate. You can find yourself standing in the middle of a spawn point fighting a Slyblade and Dragonshield just to have another group spawn on you, this happens because picking the flowers removes the obvious evidence of a spawn point.
That said watching the 60's killing trolls (and occasionally kill stealing) makes it clear this event is a lot of fun.
Obsidian Oath - Warlock
A whole lot of other Obsidian toons as well.
It seems people still have a lack of reading comprehension in my posts (evidenced by my cleric post where 90% of the people did not address my issue). I did not specifically say just those two types of kobolds are the issue. Even the trolls 1v1 are a challenge for my man at arms at 30ish, and hit freakin hard on myself that I am, once again I am repeating myself due to lack of other people reading, chugging so much healing potions; well beyond what I have ever had to use in the quest lines given to me.
tarmalune bars i heard
Thanks, I had my filters on .... D'Oh!
Excellent suggestion, thanks!
My lvl 52 CW gets chopped down to half health if I don't avoid the slywhatever/dragonshield special attack, and that's with a shield and cleric companion. Trolls I haven't had a problem with, and even in a good sized group they head straight for me because of my dps. I too have been chugging more potions than I have for any leveling content, but then again I am jumping immediately from fight to fight.
Maybe because you are not sufficiently clear on exactly what the problem is...? Don't forget that English is not the primary (or even secondary) language of everyone here, and we are not a population of mindreaders - we don't necessarily know what you meant to say.
Now, I don't know what level you are or what class - all I can say is that I have not had any problems like you described, so I was just trying to figure out what was causing your problem.
This event is the first that I’ve lasted for more than 5 minutes without leaving in dismay.
This is not some cheap and nasty add-on to keep the howlers quite for five minutes, this event is well thought-out and put together with the care and diligence that’s seen throughout the game.
The activities are engaging and fun no matter what your level. Very immersive! Thumbs up to team that worked on this! Please know that your work is appreciated. Very well done indeed!!!
This uber champion does. I also have no issue with sparkles and/or unicorns. Go figure.
Agreed completely. The 3 main activities are different enough that any class, of nearly any level has a fair shot at doing well in at least one of them. Even if you cant get 1st on the events the 3rd place rewards are generous. You can earn nearly 150 petals alone just by doing the daily. So for those who dislike grinding away, doing the absolute bare minimum over the course of the event will still gain you a ton. And for those motivated to grind you have the option to earn it all quickly.
All in all, it seems to strike a nice balance that nearly anyone can enjoy and take part in and still come out with an arm load of goodies.
This event is full of awesome and 100% Sockmunkey approved!
As far as flowers are concerned, the flowers of chivalry were considered the most knightly of knights, the flower is also a very prominent chivalric symbol. Specifically the rose and the lily were very popular. I would not mind having a rose shield.
The event is excellent , however there are some pieces that feel unfinished. Why only third level for crafting for the Sunite priestess? Also, why is there no functioning bar? You could get a few sidequests from the bartender. I find some of the things missing as well. There are watermelons but you can't do anything with them. Also there is a dancing area which is interesting.
It feels like a few pieces are missing. Overall, it is very interesting, I like the grilling area for the trolls, and the flower area.
Yeah I use a feast buff during a dungeon and got a nice boost that gave me just enough "Bang for my Buck" hehe one extra bang than the boss of the dungeon had anyway
Don't forget that when gathering flowers you don't have to fight the kobolds, you can sneak in close and steal them from right under there nose's... snouts?
Thankfully, you're playing the superior game, so congratulations, NWO players, you earned it!
