The thanksgiving event (info, bit of a spoiler :p )

Well i was grinding when a guildie logged on and said he had to download a patch to get in, so i logged out to see what was going on, and noticed it seemed to be updating npcs.

Anyway, i extracted the data out of the pk2's and had a look at the txt file that contains all so-ok chat, and in the line "SN_TALK_QEV_CH_EVENT_KISAENG_061121_A"
(this is so-ok tomorrow ^_^) i found:

Hello. My name’s So-ok.
So-ok is now here. I came to celebrate Thanksgiving this time.
This time we have a great event lined up for you.
The Jewelry Box Event!!
Once you defeat a monster, receive a jewelry box, and bring it to me,
I’ll give you a most delectable gift in return.
Remember… bring me those boxes.
Remember this too…any boxes you don’t use will, at the end of this event, be erased.

nice this will be my first event like this since playing sro.

btw is it hard to find those boxes from monsters??

Tallrik · Post by **Tallrik** » Mon Nov 20, 2006 1:59 pm

not really, last time it was pretty easy.

depending on what level you are and where you level

For example, if you grind all week at Yeti's, you'll end up having ~5 boxes lol.

If you grind on flowers at oasis, ishades, hashades, or just make a lvl16 char and get a SOM bow to 2-shoot bandit archers, you will have more than a storage full off them when the event ends.

well basically yeah, all mobs drop in different rates.
In 2 weeks of exping at Yeti's i gain as many drops as exping for 2-3 days at Sonars.

The lower lvl = the more drops kinda.. some mobs have really nice droprates, such as the Flowers around Oasis and Ishades/Hashades.

Yes, the patch we downloaded is just client-side changes, so you will be able to see So-ok tomorrow.

The server-side changes will be made during server inspection.

They spawn monsters around your lvl, but they are much stronger and have the word "strong" next to their name.

Black_Mamba · Post by **Black_Mamba** » Mon Nov 20, 2006 3:38 pm

It's a scroll for either 1-5 people, the number is the amount of spawns and you get 5 minutes to kill the monsters, they're like super strong monsters of your own level, much harder than a giant, they give loads of exp and gold.

Or if your high you can amuse yourself by spawning a 5 person at Jangan south which everyone does cuz everyone else either gets killed or runs off.

I hope we get scrolls I'm gonna have so much fun
