Also the Bee Chest owns so it's worth running for that if nothing else

Event is alright so far. Seems like the quest portion might not be coming back, which would be a bummer.

Have they said what they plan to do for Tokyo combat? I assume they will add some new mechanic like they did before, but hopefully one that doesn't make everybody quit the game.

I'm on the fence on this one. Does the story make up for the criticism I see of the gameplay's combat? Is there gameplay beyond combat thats redeeming?

The game is 100% worth playing for the atmosphere and story, yeah. Besides the combat (which isn't even terrible, it's just kinda  ) there's very cool Investigation missions (which involve solving puzzles and researching poo poo) and very janky stealth/platforming missions.It evens out to be worth playing at the price of free.

As an example, one of the investigation missions I did today had me looking up biblical verses in Latin and then composing music. And the objective wasn't "look this up in Latin" either, I had to solve a riddle to get that much out of it. And random NPCs in this game have more character than most other MMOs. Give it a go, if you hate it you lost nothing.

The combat is certainly average but can be satisfying in its own right. But if you are interested at all in secret societies, urban legends, and the supernatural then this game just oozes that atmosphere and there is nothing else out there like it.

I created a new character, got to Kingsmouth and can't get any of the ARG weapons or outfits from the "delivered items" tab, though I specifically left them there for alts. Is that tab character-specific even for "recurring" items like the cosmetics? E: relogging did it. At least for the ARG stuff. I was hoping to use the Steam DLC to boost the character I made with aurum from it, but it looks like getting the aurum on my main character may have tied everything else to him too. Ah well.

Can any character do the event raid or is it limited to 50s and/or some minimum level of stats?

Never participated in the flappy event back in the day but it's pretty fun. Only got blasted off the platform once because I pinballed between four AOEs

I ended up with a bunch of people fighting another boss on a platform above and I just followed them when they jumped off - seemed to know where they were going and it was all good. I hope SWL has more seasonal event raid bosses like this in future. I know there are others but they aren't as accessible for casual walk-ins which I think is an important factor.

So far from what it looks like with the Event lore is everything but the one you grab on the way to fight the Bird is missing since the old paths that the guides mention don't exist anymore. No one knows if they'll be added later, it's a glitch, or it's an oversight that happened with the changes made. Some were speculating a new lore being available en route to the Bird Fight but I certainly didn't see anything on my run earlier today.

Is there a breakdown of the droprates from caches? I just had some drop (either they're coded to start dropping when you go into the sewers in Kingsmouth or I had really bad luck for 12 levels before getting three in 5 minutes) and I'm curious if they're in any way a good gamble for AH-able stuff vs the aurum for a key. I'm guessing not but I enjoy doing maths anyway.

They start dropping around that level. I have several hundred of the agartha caches at level 50, and around 40ish of the new ones. Vendor them for anima or AH your excess caches unless you wanna whale it up. The game shits them at you. There's even a vendor in the agartha hub that straight up sells them.

If you're patron you get to open 1 per day which gets you nice power spikes IMO. It's what I do. (also I have bought keys because I am weak)

I'm guessing not but I enjoy doing maths anyway. Supposedly drop rate goes up as you open more caches. I've saved keys for a few days and in an hour of playing tonight I got 3. You really don't need to worry about them unless you're whaling for keys or just logging in to grab your daily key for a few months.

I'm guessing not but I enjoy doing maths anyway. From what I've seen on my roster it's somewhere around 12-15 that I got the first cache drop with the 'Look what you got!' pop up. I've pretty much taken the advice of sit on them until 50 because of the distillate scaling and I wait until I have a decent amount of keys stockpiled from the patron free key to start popping. I know I could use aurum and buy some keys,. but I'm saving up to bump my 2 pip ARG weapons to 3 pip.

"How common are caches" was a side-thing, my main question was "do we have enough odds on cache contents that I could look things up on the AH and calculate an expected return value." Sounds like a no or "don't bet on getting anything other than distilate" for that one.

I just use them for showing off since I don't know if it happens to just me or it's some coding thing but if I choose to use any sprint that's not a version of running, I have to hit the X toggle twice to actually get it to load. Plain sprint and anima dash work fine, it's just anything else has that hiccup.

Once you've got the cache unlocked is there a point in doing the raid?

Caches were bugged until recently. There was supposed to be bad luck protection whenever you didn't get cosmetics and (presumably) weapons. It's fixed now. I actually look forward to the distillates since they're free to apply and actually make a dent in purple items.

Caches get you third age nickels which can be used to buy random purple items to use for fusion fodder. They also can get you signet distillates which are useful for buying four cheapo signets and turning it into one strong one instantly

Yeah I'm pissed that I'm never getting the bee scooter. The 3rd age wings are hosed up. You can't jump in any direction except forward, turning with the mouse while standing still is painful, and they disappear when touching water or jumping.
