is that
thats not you wearing it right? Thats what it will look like in december?
I have not tried it yet, can you explain why?
You pick up an item, kill a few low level mobs. Then click a door and to into a small instanced room with 5 mobs that only attack you in order. No mez needed etc
The only reason it takes over 10 minutes now is due to how dark everything is and trying to see where your going. And the stuttering going up the ramp.
Basically, what Redmonkey explained. It's incredibly simple and fits better as a proof concept that's going to be finished out.

The problem is, they're just so bad compared to the TBM version. You can get 2k more raw HEM and 170 more ac (or less AC and another chunk of hem) from TBM, for the cost of... 25% of a ToV aug worth of clairvoyance and spell damage (oh boy...).
But who knows what the next few months will bring, we're waiting for October/November for the charm to beat t3 LS / Memoryforge charms anyway.

Random data to share
- Of the first three tasks released so far, only the third one "Oasis of Sands" earns tokens on repeat runs. 10 Time Tokens per.
- You must repeat the second quest "Broken Key of Sands" each time to acquire the item that initiates "Oasis of Sands"
- Someone put a mediocre script together that helps here:
- https://www.redguides.com/community/threads/yearofdarkpaw-key-of-sands-quest-automation.89765/
- At this time, a character must be in the zone when the mission completes to earn the tokens.
- Anyone outside the zone receives the message:
- However the actual quest reward isn't added to that characters reward list. Zoning in does not have any impact that I could see.
- I want to guess this is a bug and probably some discussion about it on the EQ forums I'm not reading.
- Tokens appear in your inventory - remember to visit [Alt Currency] tab and click [Reclaim All] to make available for use.
Nevermind, the tokens went into alt currency directly and not into inventory like the first task.
For point 2, when I did it the first time with a group of 6 it ate all the completed keys. Has anyone tried to just create one key and then get the shared task? If so did it eat the container and 3 key components from first task?

Only one person needs the key to get the group task.
Once the task is completed, anyone with a key loses it. So you can't just bank 'em.
However if you have a container and components - those don't get lost.
So you can do the first task twice in a row, but wait for final combine on second one. (If that made sense)
Yep, so with a group of 6 can just do the key task every 7 times as long as the keys are not made in advance.
I did find out that casters can bind in the tower so that will make it less of a burden later on running up all those levels~

Anniversary Tower Tip #8. You don't need to run up/down the stairs.
Center of each floor (including bottom level) is a teleporter pad that takes you up like 5 levels at a time (or is it 1? Haven't really tested). Then the roof one takes you back to the 1st floor.

And the collects are up in G Fay. Really spread out this time.
The rewards for the Second Floor Mission are decent if you have undergeared toons.
Especially when you look at the difficulty of the mission:
1 - Grab the Blue Glowing thing from in front of door 2
2. - Click the Thingy to get the mission - it gives you a container and a shovel.
3. - Run over to Lavastorm (Longest part of the mission)
4. - Find the Magma Piles that are spread around the zone. Click the shovel on them. Spawns a Dk Blue Basilisk mob with about 100 hp
5. - Repeat step 4 until you have 3 different part. If your in a grp of 6 - you get 6 items....
6. - Combine them to finish this quest - and it gives you the key which lets you enter Door number 2 in the Tower.
7. - Zone into Door 2 - Kill the mob which is Yellow and spawns adds - but it also has about 100 hp.
8. - New items are now available on the Vendor.
I really dont get why these missions are so easy. The items require lvl 125 so why are the mobs about lvl 10?
March Quest is open now:
Another Decent Aug for very little effort. Not sure about the Neck though - but i guess its ok if you dont have a neck.
This Quest is called Key of Forests.
1. Pickup the Blue Shiny and click it to get the quest.
2. Head to Greater Faydark.
3. Kill the Enslaved Miner Skeletons that are running about at the north of the zone.
4. Loot the 2 Key pieces.
5. Kill 20 Skeletons.
6. Head to the Source of the Skeletons...North West Area
7. You will get an update..and an Orc will spawn. Kill the Orc and loot the third piece of the Key
8. Combine the key - and click it to get the Tower Mission.
9. Zone back into tower and run up to 3rd Door.
10. Zone in....Kill some trash bats and stuff
11. Kill 2 Crazy Arboreans (Treants)
12. Kill more trash.
13. Kill 2 more Arboreans
14. Kill the Orc Boss Dude
15 Win.

Are you on test? Not seeing door #3 blue shiny. And no one else in zone to have taken it.
And the unparalleled mask you posted in your march 1 post the same as the post from yesterday? Figured out those are for level 125. Not seeing them at 120.

You are correct - These quests are available on Test but not live. Not until the March patch.
The April Quest is out on Test.
Quick Rundown:
1. Hunt for Polar Fish in the Everfrost River - Just jump into the hole in the ice and kill the fish..there are 3 types.
2. Find the Halas Crevace and place a Fish - When you get to the Crave looking spot on the Map - Near Halas - Quest will update and Spawn a Blue Con (@125) Bear. But its very weak.
3. Find the Crevace around the Middle of the Map and Kill another Bear.
4. Find the Crevace near Blackburrow Zone and Kill another bear. (This bugged for me. Didnt get the Bear spawn until I logged out and logged Back in)
5. Combine all these for the Key of Frost.
The Mission:
This Mission makes you run back up the Tower upon zoning in....I thought something had gone wrong...But anyway...Run back to Floor 4 - the Door to area 4 will be open and 7 Mobs Asleep on the ground.
Wake them up by picking up the Torch from the ground. Apparently they are Frozen and need the Heat from the Torch to thaw out.
Anywayz - Kill 2 at a time until you get the Boxx who is a Lvl 128 Undead rogue.
Lvl 128 in name only.....he is really weak.
I really do expect these mobs will be upgraded to become a challenge...so If you want easy and free loot loot - here is the opportunity.
And the loots are:

This whole tower is a gigantic waste of time. 2 missions and 1 raid missing because they wanted to design 12 under-tuned encounters/quests here instead. There will be 1 aug per class thats worth it if you have raid chars, the other gear is grouper scrap.
The items, they adapt to player level when you buy them.
My 100s have required lvl 100 ones I believe, or 95 ones. Same items, less stats.
There is a step for the fish that says to "place the fish in the crevices" where you spawn the bears. This is an automatic step and the fish just disappear from your inventory when you hit that area and get the update, before the bear spawns.
This is a good waypoint for the last bear which is up the crevice where it looks like you can't go. /way -1238, 1099, 29
May Quest is now Open on test. live will follow soon im sure.
This month it is a back slot and a decent Agi Aug.
The Key of Sky quest is not a good one...the troll guide is like this:
1. Get the Blue Shiny from the tower to get the quest.
2. Head to Lake Rathe (Via Feerrott -> Rathe Mountains in case youve forgetten!)
3. Get lev and go over the islands.
4. You will get a Task Complete.
5. Talk to the Aviak on each island
6. Look in the Water
7. Kill the gnoll.
8. Loot the Piece.
Do this for the Three key pieces.....
Sounds easy? Well it is....Except if you are doing it for a group of people.....It sucks because the hit box on these task updates is so small that only half the group will get the task update.
I was doing it in a group of 6 and had to run each toon about individually to get the updates.
And since everyone was out of sequence - I had looted the pieces before getting the task update.
Had to do the old trick of handing the pieces to a pet to get the updates.
Back at the tower....All you do is Zone in. Kill a Spiroc Guardian, and a few adds that seem to implode on your damage shield and then free some gnoll pups. It was only a minute or two. from start to end.
Not a bad aug to be sure - I think i will wear it.

Just wanted to say ty for all your info and pics. love it.
Actually I think the shineys are not the collections items since they are up in Permafrost this month but perhaps they mean to just continue to follow the shineys in front of each door. ?
Who knows since this whole release thing is staggered between when the collections become available and when the next door does.
These were the collection zones listed in eq resource a while ago. Our next ones would be in Butcherblock - chessmen.
- Gnoll Essences (Blackburrow)
- Broken Key of Sands (South Desert of Ro)
- Red Dragon Scales (Nagafen's Lair)
- Broken Key of Lava (Lavastorm Mountains)
- Fae Drake Wings (The Greater Faydark)
- Unrest Cursed Objects (Estate of Unrest)
- Crystalline Shards (Permafrost Keep)
- Bloodied Chess Set (Butcherblock Mountains)
- Ruinous Moths (The Ruins of Old Guk)
- Clay Golem Parts (City of Mist)
- Drolvarg Medallions (Karnor's Castle)
- Poison-Scarred Locket (The Ruins of Sebilis)
- Mysterious Decoctions (Velketor's Labyrinth)
- Dragon Bones (Western Wastes)
- Year of Darkpaw Tasks
very good, ty RM !
