Getting a grandmaster was expected because of being the sequel to one of the hardest master quests currently ingame. And the boss being rumoured to be tougher than balance elemental.

I would also put a quest completion requirement on the heavy ballista. The light one is fine for me to be usable without the quest completed, or it would be dead content anyway.

About the zenyte, I would also lock the crafting of the zenyte equipment behind the quest completion. This could be a mon(k)eymaker for the all-rounder (skiller/quester). -Sorry for the lame pun-


Btw, anything about requirements yet?
Skills, RFD subpart, other gnome quests, ...

Looking good. All of the rewards are interesting. I'm not sure about the Amulet of Torture but everything else is a yes from me. :)

Will it be possible to poll each of the Zenyte equipment individually or will they be all polled under one question?

Critical Thoughts:


1) What is the point in polling the pure question?
- Feels like this is just an attempt to allow pures back on Ape Atoll for their chinning methods.
- Flaw 1: MM2 will be an "epic" and "Grandmaster" quest, which following a trend, means combat reward experience given. It would be natural and logical to offer said experience at the end similar to MM.
- Flaw 2: Even if no combat experience is given, the main rewards can be used by all players regardless of quest completion.

2) Jewelry Passive
- The passive needs a serious buff or clarification on mechanics.
- Currently, it seems like healing 5% of damage dealt means a player would need the passive to activate when they deal above 20 HP of damage to gain at least 1 HP of health back.
- Needs a minimum healing amount to be even considered of use or a heal percentage increase (15-20% would suffice).

3) Ballista weapon concept
- If the weapon is meant to be held, can the bazooka model from the past holidays be modified and used as the main concept for the weapon since javelins are quite long.
- Bazookas fit the "os feel" of the game since the concept has been used in MEP1.
- If the Bazooka model is used, it would easily fit the "light and heavy types" since it would include a scope.
- The scope can be the defining factor of the heavy type. ie: better accuracy = better damage. Chasing Nightmares

I personally think you should not allow the use of the jewelry and ranged weapons by other players who didnt complete the quest. whats the point of even doing the quest then? i can't buy a d scimmy without doing monkey madness why should this be different? kinda defeats the purpose of doing quests to "unlock things".

This is a terrible idea for pking wise. The extra range and magic damage % is unnecessary. It will make those combat styles more overpowered. Especially magic. Voting no.

Except that Melee is OP in the 07 combat triangle at any defense level... sure, Voiders can hit lucky d-bolts, and max gear barrages hurt a bit, but they're all avoidable problems via overheads, antifires, and fighting back.

I feel that damage boost would do well for balancing. Which is probably why game developers themselves thought it was a decent idea.

This looks awesome. I don't know how well the Zenyte will be received by the community since its best in slot items but I think it sounds pretty great. maybe take away the passive healing but either way I think it sound great.
