Anyone know how long this special event is going to last?

Since the newest patch, has anyone noticed more fizzles on spells than they used to. I'm a lvl 41 BST. Spells that I was at one time able to cast without thinking twice, I now get fizzles on. Any confirmation that I am not just imagining this would be helpful.

So...just wondered are all these items being looted off the Skellies going to be added to Allakhazam so we can update our characters armour?

Like for Instance:

Steel Rod of the Knight was one that I got for 4 of my chars.

A lot of things are being repeated, so i'll just mention what I know to help anybody. (Be warned, there are spoilers)

Firstly; The firework shows: At various times, fireworks will shoot out from the sky in various places. I believe this is happening in the all the Wayfarer camps, but I cannot confirm this. I saw an announcement in Butcherblock at 4am EQ time telling me to head to the Wayfarer camp in BB to watch a light show in a short while. The Fireworks lasted about 20 seconds, and were purty (watch out-- the undead tend to ruin it! Geez).

Secondly, there is undead spawning in various zones throughout Norrath, every night (at 7pm Norrath time) while the 'celebrations' are going on. They definitely spawn in: Toxxulia, Qeynos Hills, Butcherblock, East Commonlands and maybe Steamfont and Everfrost. I may be missing a few places, because I haven't visted them personally. They despawn en masse at exactly 5am Norrath time. They are tough and there are lots of them. They are about level 20-60, and they have *extremely* high agro. Even if they are green to you, they WILL attack, swarming from even quite a distance away. The lieutenants are at least level 43 or so, and it can get pretty heated in the center of a lot of those zones (where they tend to be). They can cast spells, namely fear, and some debuffs. Only the higher end spawns tend to drop the loot. (It is all nodrop). I can't mention the items because I haven't been very lucky with drops at all! *sniff*

Thirdly, the fabled items are mentioned at Lucy. =) Lucy's great!

The Scavenger Hunt info:
The scavenger hunt is a hunt for various items around old Norrath. The prize is a staff, (Staff of Endless Adventure); which is a clicky item that shoots fun fireworks (it doesn't really do anything else). The type of fireworks you get depends on (and only on!) the year you created the character questing for the staff! This will deterimine the firework effect, therefore theres probably 5 types of firework effects floating around.

To find someone giving out the quest, head back to your home city and a voice should nag you. Visit the person, and they will give out a 10 slot satchel, and a clue sheet. If you can't find the person, just go up the newbie lift in GFay, and talk to Sayrire Hiram (I may have spelt her name wrong). It doesn't matter who you go to to ask, they give the quest to everyone.

Where do you buy the tickets for this? I've searched on a few sites but can't find the info...

One of them starts in Greater Faydark, by a NPC named Sayrine Hiram. She gives you a ten slot bag and a clue book. Here are the clues.

1. An orb that aids Humans on their dark journey through the land of Gix.

I am guessing either a Lightstone or Greater lightstone.

2. The framework of grotesque guardians.

Bone chips maybe?

3. The cause of the vile stench on Odus.

Skunk Scent gland is my guess here.

4. To battle safely in the flames of Ro, you'd be lucky to have this natural protection.

Maybe a type of drake scale.

5. Once amphibeans begin to rot, they have no need of this blithering tool.

Gotta be a Froglok Tongue.

6. The undead guard the portal of terror with this sharp weapon.

I am guessing that you need a scythe from one of the undead guards at entrance to Plane of Fear.

7. A liquid hoop from the masters of the kitchen.

This one HAS to be the water ring from Dagnor's.

8. this stuffed toy will likely smell of rodent.

Wife thinks it may be a rats foot.

9. The diseased Mongrel will really miss this well-kept orb.

My wife also thinks this is a Preserved Split Paw eye.

10. A close look at this pointy object and you'll understand how the weeping began.

This one has me stumped, but I am guessing some kind of tear.

Hope this helps, and lets solve this.
