SkyChick, You're right, I do have an issue with it and that issue is that I don't think that the entire event should have been able to be completed simply by getting stamped by JMods once a day. Technically you don't have to complete any of the tasks to complete the event.

I think that there should have been a limit on the number of times that you could have used a JMod, like say maybe for 5 tasks that you felt were just too difficult or too much of a pain to complete based on how you developed your character. After 5 JMod stamps you would have to complete everything by yourself.

I totally agree with you lol. when i get mi last task done tonight, thats it for the whole month long event for me. Due to the glitch, i was unable to be among the first possible chances for all rewards, and now its just frustrating. But your idea, i think is spot on.

I know not everyone going to be keen to everything. I just think that if you going to offering something in the Month of May of doing something if not to the liking to the Mod to be on the weekend or night so other player can enjoy then don't even offer it at all.; or least tell it in a post that Mod don't work nights or weekends so we know.

Lady Luna, the trick with the divination task is that you need to reach your daily limit. If you are gathering from divine location that give more than 1 item count per item (ie like a Herb 3 or a rune site) then you may not reach your full limit. You might be 1 or 2 items short.

For example if you are gathering at 3 times your normal rate and your limit is 223, after gathering 74 items, you would have reached 222 (74 * 3). You would get the message that you have reached your daily limit from this site. You are at your limit from this sight because this site provides at a rate of 3 per item.

The simple solution is once you get the message that you are at your limit, and you still don't have an exp lamp, try gathering from a simple site like a herb 1 or some other sight that gives single rate gathering.

I have tried to do the duck feed 4 times and the divination 2 times with no success. Always run out of time on duck feed and no idea what I am doing wrong on the divination. Any advice on how to do these without needing a mod stamp? Thank you for any help in advance.


For the duck feed, I've heard that the trick is to get friends to surround the duck so that it can't run around - I don't know first hand though, as that was one of the first ones I got jmod assistance with....


for the divination one, you need to harvest from divine locations (such as a divine herb location) until you are told that your limit prevents you from harvesting any more that day. I recommend going to w2 Burthorpe for this as that seems to be the gathering point for divine locations, and there are a LOT of people dropping locations there....

it will take about 2-3 divine locations of the more 'expensive' locations (the ones that have a higher multiplier on their resource gathering potential), and even more of the 'cheaper' ones. If you drop your own divine location, others gathering from it and giving you noted items will make your own collection go by a lot faster.


EDIT: in response to what 1bugkiller said, I believe that I got mine checked off when I was unable to collect more from that particular resource, but before I reached my maximum limit - they may have done a later patch which allows this.... if not, I like to mine mithril (or coal), or chop yews, both of which are a popular divine location to be dropped, to get the last bit of resources possible each day....
Things may be looking down now, but I see a light at the end of the tunnel;
Do you think I should get off the tracks?

Is there any way to get advanced notices of the stamping? and I mean like a couple days in advance? I realize you guys are very busy, and don't expect you to stay late into the night, but could you at least list in advance so others may be able to make arrangements? Time zone issues are a pain as it is, but not finding out about it until after its too late is just plain insulting.

thank you in advance

There were two major faults with how this event was set up:

1. The possibility that you could in fact get each and every task stamped, not having to do any yourself (20 tasks, 30 days, 1 jmod per day)

2. The fact that you could only complete one task per day, and a second only by jmod stamping. This should have been 2 tasks per day, either by doing them yourself of do one and stamp the other.
End result here was doing them yourself takes TWICE as long as having 10 of them lazily stamped by a jmod.

As others have suggested, a limit of (say) 5 jmod stamps would have helped.

Then there is also the fiasco of getting the stamps; initially the lag spikes, the wait times till jmods manually stamped whole crowds, then the poor planning of having sessions in areas where familiars/pets/etc could be taken, the lack of schedule/organisation of sessions.
The list goes on.

I'm glad to be done with the whole thing.

Interestingly, I still wear my Monkey cape form Mad May 2012. Will I even care to remember this year's shoddy event in another 2 years (assuming I am still silly enough to be playing, that is) ?
I honestly doubt I will bother remembering it in 2 weeks, let alone 2 years from now.
