Greetings from Dead Simon

Yellow artifacts, quest items.

Simon makes no distinction in his statement, therefore he should either revise his original statement or fix the artifacts in question. Until then, my report stands.

A blanket statement is a blanket statement.

To whoever wrote the new red artifacts for IPP, I was collecting them last night and many times lol'ing. I enjoyed Abyssal Beauty Secrets particularly. (The Wet Look: Amazing Hair ) I do like to think the cruel and heartless Abyssal Cult has a sensitive side. After a day of sacrificing, torturing and plotting world domination the average Abyssal comes home, puts their feet in an foot spa and plonks on the face cream with a couple of cucumber slices over their eyes.

I think my favorite so far is "How to Cook Anyone".

I have been looking around but can't seem to find a post about the grandmaster achievement being bugged or is it only bugged on my server? There are at least 2 people that I know of other than myself who are over 300 but the achievement number started post patch even though it shows the previous achievements down below. Are there maybe some artifact sets which do not count so we have to go way over 300?

Love the new artifacts but I think some of the global blues might be a touch too common. I came out of one moderate session in Stonefield with 5 of the same Sterling Sylver page.

You should be able to trade or sell every Artifact. I saw some posts and found a few myself that were not. These have been fixed and will be promoted to live soon. - Dead Simon

I guess all but the Celebration artifacts?

Hey Simon. I don't know how frequently this comes up or how much of a priority this issue is for you and your department. But I've had and heard of a number of issues while hunting Rare Spawn NPCs in Rift:

1. (Easily the most frustrating and important) Rare NPCs being killed by Rifts, Invasions and Footholds. The zone-specific and especially the Ultimate Hunter achievements are difficult enough in their own right. Competing with the cryptic spawn conditions and other players without having to worry about NPCs potentially wrecking the rare spawn is pretty difficult. Is it possible to flag all rare spawn NPCs as neutral to Planar Invaders?

2. Really rare mobs. It is widely assumed that you've set certain rare spawn npcs to be much rarer spawns than others. But it's also been mentioned that perhaps some of the rare spawn npcs are a bit buggy on their spawn conditions (namely the Aelfwar Emissary) Are you still trying to strike a balance in the spawn rates and if not, is the Ultimate Hunter achievement supposed to feel like "Hunt 100 fairly rare monsters... and also Aelfwar Emissary, Stalker of the Grove, Questing Overseer, Nela Valcuthren & Nytami?"

I love collecting artifacts, and have almost finished every single set except for two twisted ones... and two invasion sets (fire and earth) from Droughtlands. Spend several evenings whacking patrols / invasions there (on and off over a period of months), and they always drop the same artifacts (if they drop anything at all that is).

I'm down to one or two twisted blues and -eight- invasion artifacts. Many of those being white. They are almost never for sale (which is a fair indication that noone else is getting them either), and they don't drop either. It's driving me up the wall. :/

Which arties do you need? I post a few hundred every two days. I just completed the sets and am going to continue the grind for the last 5000 for gathering achievement. My alts are all over the 200 set mark so there are many now which get through the alt check and get posted. As I will be mainly just gathering for the 25k, the zone doesn't matter. Tell me what you need. Also Blightweald Guardian.

There's a couple of hundred at least up there right now, be quick. Bid usually 5g BO varies from 5g to 1p depending. (1p/3p for doubles), blues vary a lot but mostly cheap.

[Anuhart]

Oh, when I say completed, I mean completed the non invasion sets.

Still need
Misty Claw lvl 40 water
Dragon Fire Chant lvl 40 fire
Dark Skull of the Invader lvl 18 death
Shadowy Proficy lvl 18 death
Eldritch Stone lvl 18 death
Decaying Signet lvl 18 death

So I am likely to be spending time in FM/DL (MH?)

I found two artifacts that I wasn't able to reach. One was in Stillmoor, halfway up the wall in Caer Mathos (I don't have screenshots, nor do I remember specifically, unfortunately.) The other was in the Droughtlands about thirty feet in the air in the tunnel under Harlan's Lament where Netharius patrols. In happier news, I just bought the Glowing Sourcestone.

ye I can't reach it either, so just bug report it!

Yeah there's loads, those mentioned, one in IPP under an overhang, one in SW up a tree, one MH on a rock, one in SF on a pillar and one behind invisible wall. I could go on.

[Achilleion]

Dunno if this is the right place to ask buuuut, any word on when/if a feature will be added to inspect other player's achievements, in-game?
