[GOD ] Ching says, 'Read "A Christmas Carol' and 'The 12 days of Christmas' <QUEST>
I am basing the quest off of those two. the 12 days, will be soloable. the Christmas Carol will take groups. I will post more later.

I will post more later. Because of my time constraints....as the date rolls in on me. I am trimming it down to the 12 days of Christmas. [GOD ] Ching says, read 'The 12 days of Christmas' for this years quest (iGRDN) <QUEST> I am tweaking it so that there will be prizes you can get direct from the mobs, and also assembly (possibly with those prizes and/or just assembly parts. Next year, I will do the "Christmas Carol"-Christmas quest.

I am running way behind on submitting this Christmas quest from what I thought I would be. Maybe too much time morting, but most of it is that my brother moved to town, and I have spent a lot of time helping him get settled in. His moving was not expected when I signed up for this quest. Apologies to everybody for not having it turned in weeks in advance (work was also brutal.) I am doing it now, but unfortunately Kailyn will be hosting 40+ family members at her home for their first Christmas. So we may not get it in before Christmas, but we will get it in, and expect to let it run at least the 12 days. So ends this public service announcement.

Learning a lot of odd things about the jedimud builder tool. Use 'templates' to make multiples not 'copy' (the number repeats on the 2nd copy (3rd mob.) Then you have to fix the .zon file as well as the .mob file manually (or rip it all out and start over.) In any case, I think I have it all coded and emailed. Pray for Kailyn that her family visit goes well (and she can slip this in sometime.) But spend the vacation with your family or other loved ones. The quest will be started when we can get to it. (I may have some debugging/fixing to do, so it may not go in under just 1 cycle.) I am up 3.5 hours past my bed time (not good for a diabetic) and I have to get up at 0600 to hit the gym with my brother! But at least this phase is done.

The Christmas 2009 quest just started (about 1630 eastern time.) Read 'The 12 days of Christmas' for a list of mobile creatures to hunt. The first time you try to kill a mob, be careful, you WILL have to vary your methods to kill them. Some will require lots of special techniques, some will have nasty feedback/attacks. Not everything can be taken down solo. Everything is load on death. All the mobs have a chance to load Questing Points, the harder ones higher chance and more of them. Be careful, and tell others how to do things (you will want help.)

OK this is my first quest done by creating mobs, items etc, and there have been a few bumps. We only had a few minutest to test things ahead of time so the 'stayzone' (normally a good thing for a mob) had to be removed. I do not understand why but my 15minute load zone was load on boot (once) only, so that has now been fixed. The master/slave proc is not working as i expected, and I think it may have something to do with the 'load order' (I created the 8 milking creatures before the 8 maids, which may have been a mistake.) I think this is the only fix left to go in. I hope people are enjoying the quest as it is. FYI as of Wed Jan 6 12:40:54 2010 at least 1 of each NEW item has been loaded. (Note, most things load something, some of the items were already in the game. The following are simply new ones I created for this quest (some may be used elsewhere in the mud after the quest.)) an impressive uniform ML 15 !MC body AC36 +1dam,+1cha a blood stained sash ML 0 waist +2con,+1str a lord's boots ML15 feet AC10 +1dam,+10 move_regen Ruby Earrings ML0 ear AC0 +1con,+1dex swan wings (airship) about-body ML0 Affections: +2 to CON, -10 to ARMOR a colorful costume ML10 AC 42 +25 to HIT, +10 to HIT_REGEN a glowing goose egg (potion) Spells: sanctuary, armor, magical vestment a ring of protection ML1 AC8 +1 to DAMROLL, -2 to SAVE_SPELL a sapient pear wood box (held) ML1 Max-contains: 500 -10 to ARMOR, -6 to DAMROLL

I had planned on a 12 day (at least) run time. I expected quite a few people to run in it. Because of both I expected quite a few of these items to be in rent. All that being said, get in there and run things when you can.

For those who have not figured it out yet. The Questing Point Tokens are a significant part of this quest. You can gather a good score of them this quest (if you run hard) and buy some very nice 'prizes' via the questing point prizes. The drop prizes are all fun and good, but some of those QP prizes are very nice.

People are not grouping as often as I thought they would for the piper. So I am making him a bit easier. We have removed his SANC and his "unaffect self" (aka stepping.) He should be quite debuffable now. This will go in the next uptime, whenever that is.
