Dungeons & Dragons Online is Celebrating its 20th Anniversary!

Has there been any updates to the decision regarding the items in the anniversary token reward list being able to be converted into augments? Will there be any actual communication on the conclusion before the update goes live?

I also want to know. While I understand the reasoning behind the decision, that list is absolutely terrible if the option to create augments is excluded, and completely unworthy of a 20th anniversary. If augments are definitely out, we need better replacements. There are only a couple of decent items on that list, and none for veterans.
On the other hand, SSG, while I understand why you made that decision, you need to consider whether it wasn't really an overreaction. It's the 20th anniversary, a time to be generous. And the set augments don't depend solely on an item; they also depend on threads and vessels.
But if you still don't like the idea, replacements are needed. They really are. It's a terrible list if you exclude augments.

There is also a compromise position which is to take the tag off a few items. Deathwyrm is buggy and nobody wants to run it, so the bracers would be a good augment gift for the community - and this is coming from someone that is overflowing with tough shield augments and doesn't even need those.
Probably 2nd and 3rd would be the citadel's gaze and Kelas Volatile Mixture as people just don't want to run those raids any more.

Thanks, Cordovan! (i don't mean to be obtuse, i really don't!)
It's not you but the way it is worded. I had asked the same question on discord when they posted it. Not very clear.

I believe the dice are still available with party favors from the original 10th anniversary event run which will continue to happen. They were on Lam when I looked.

Thx for the Fridays at Four you put up, realy liked what I saw there.
Vistani Trickster seems a very potent combo.
Also thx for listening to feedback and updating the reward list.

Updated the reward list? Where? Looked, not seeing positive changes.
Wish these streams had some kind of text summary, can't stand listening to them go on and on. 95% of these are utter nonsense. Would rather listen to an opera of wailing cats backed by a nails on chalkboard symphony.

Hello everyone. Welcome to Fridays at 4 on twitch.tv/dostream. I'm your community manager Cordovan and
0:06
we are getting ready for our 20th anniversary here in just a couple of weeks and we're going to have a lot more
0:12
information soon. But we do have articles that have gone live along with a landing page on ddo.com with all of
0:19
our anniversary information that we're able to preview right now. Most of these
0:24
articles will be updated in the coming weeks as you know things progress and things change with them. Most of these
0:30
systems are still under active development and being previewed on Lemania. So, it's a little weird trying
0:36
to create articles uh to do prehype and things like that, get people excited
0:41
while also maybe having to do a couple iterations on on a couple of bits like our item list, which uh I'll be working
0:48
on next week. Um, we already had some work that was being done
0:54
uh following this week's Lam Mania preview and then we got a bunch of feedback that we've heard uh this week
0:59
and we're taking another look at that list here for for for some adjustments. So, that page will get
1:06
adjusted, but today we're not here to talk about that because we talked about that last Friday uh as well. So, there's
1:13
some other information that was already on there and you could find that on ddo.com. We might get to more of these
1:18
things later on, but I have a good interview to show you today. We're going to be talking about Arcane Trickster.
1:25
The next in the list of articles being populated on ddo.com is going to be the Arcane Trickster article. As part of
1:31
that, I was able to sit down with lead systems designer Torque to talk a little bit about Arcane Trickster in general.
1:38
So, this is an overview, a preview, a chance of what you're going to learn about uh playing the Arcane Trickster
1:46
yourself. And don't forget, you will be getting this Arcane Trickster for free as long as you stop into the game during
1:51
the anniversary event. So, let's get to some video here. It's about uh 9 minutes long.
2:05
With me is senior systems designer Torque. How you doing, Torque? Doing pretty good. Now, you're involved in the Arcane
2:12
Tricksterer that's going to be coming to the game here real soon, and we're here to talk a little bit about that. In many ways, the Arcane Trickster is a rogue
2:19
with magic. Yes, we had a few m like the arcade trickster has been with D and D for a
2:24
very long time, like since back third edition. So, it was one it was originally one of the prestige classes,
2:31
but um in recent iterations, it's more of a subclass of rogue. We're doing it as an archetype of rogue. Um it is
2:37
basically kind of like the Eldrich Knight of Rogues for our game. Um, and um, while it's, you know, fully adapt at
2:45
sneak attacking and disable traps and the standard tasks that rogues do, it's got um, a lot of extra magical tools.
2:52
Um, namely the mage hand, which can do all sorts of things, including uh, disabling traps at ranged. Um, it can
2:59
like poke your foe in the eye and, you know, slap one silly. And there's uh,
3:04
the cap one of the capstone abilities. It's called Presto where it snaps its fingers and the monster just vanishes.
3:10
We don't really explain what happens. It's magic. You just did it.
3:15
Magic hand. Um the other aspect that how we work the spells is um they have
3:22
stolen spells. They steal spells. So uh kind of like arch mage, their core line
3:28
is a SLA selector of spell-like abilities, but it is very um verbose.
3:34
instead of picking a like a school of magic in the arcane tradition, you're basically stealing a spell from another
3:40
class and you can really mix and match. You could like have an alchemist spell
3:46
from one core or a cleric spell and then and have a cleric spell in another. Uh
3:52
so they have a they're basically they're very versatile. What are they giving up? Because they
3:58
have trap ability in that. So, what what are some of the things that differentiate a traditional style rogue
4:04
from an arcane trickster? So, for the most part, um you start the
4:10
same in many in many regards. You both get evasion, but after that, you start
4:16
losing a lot of things. Um so, you won't get uncanny dodge, you won't get the bonus feats, you won't get improved
4:22
evasion. The arcane trickster basically has access to the mechanic tree, the thief acrobat tree, as well as its own
4:27
tree. So they lose access to assassin. So we're probably also going to do a few
4:33
tweaks to assassin just to kind of keep everything level.
4:38
They still use intelligence as their primary stat. Is that also their spell casting stat?
4:44
Sort of. Their spells uh and spell-like abilities use disabled device much like
4:51
a recent, you know, mechanic. Um they don't roll the d20 in this current this current form. they just use their flat
4:57
dis, you know, whatever your disabled device skill is, that's your DC and that is intelligence driven. So, um, they are
5:04
effectively intelligence driven, though you could still run as a deck build if you want to. Uh, because, you know,
5:11
keeping your dis skill up, uh, I you have a lot of other, you know, bonuses
5:17
you can access. Uh, you know, you can like use your activate skill bonus to
5:22
actually boost your DCs on your spells. because it's, you know, effectively skill driven. You know, it's kind of
5:29
like bard perform checks except they're using S device instead. When it comes to spellcasting, they in
5:36
many ways uh have proficiency as of a rogue. What about things like wearing
5:42
armor versus some of the other caster classes out there? So, they get uh light armor for free,
5:49
kind of like bards, so you're going to be able to wear leather without worrying about uh arcane failure. Uh they do and
5:55
they do have some arcane failure uh bonuses in their tree if you want to basically boost your armor up. You know,
6:00
kind standard one, two, three by 15% um arcane armor reduction uh for failure.
6:07
Um and you know, there other sources uh you can find in the game to kind of, you know, you want to run a plate mail
6:13
arcane trickster, it's probably possible. Maybe you want to wear a mith plate.
6:19
Someone will figure it out. Someone will figure Yeah. Yeah. One of the first things people are going
6:25
to see in the feat list that may that is new, very much new, is a magical ambush.
6:30
So, what is a magical ambush? Yeah, this is actually probably the most iterative intensive aspect of this
6:36
class. Um, so the idea of a magical ambush is that you take your sneak attack dice and we apply it to your
6:42
spell damage in some form. Spell thief is all the way up at level 16 for a feat. And it allows you with melee and
6:49
missile attacks. Um that if they strike a target that has spells, it will grant
6:55
the caster spell points. You you'll get spell points for using a missile attack or a melee attack against an enemy that
7:02
uses spells. Um given that your name is Torque and there is a very famous item
7:08
called the torque, right? Is this like that or what's up? Yeah, purely coincidental, but I mean sort of
7:14
is like you had to get hit. You had to get hit to get your spell points for the torque if I recall. You get to hit the
7:19
enemy, which is a lot better, especially since you have a lot of tools to CC the enemy. But yeah, you um you basically
7:25
can beat the spell points out of people. Um it's very deep in the tree, so obviously like you're kind of or very
7:33
deep in the class level structure, so you're you're kind of really devoting yourself to to Arcane Tricks to access
7:39
that. But it's yeah, it's it's how we're representing, you know, spell thief uh
7:45
in our current iteration of the class as archetype. Right now, you mentioned the idea of stolen spells.
7:51
Now, that doesn't mean you're going to be pulling spells from enemies you encounter. The arcane trickster does
7:56
have a spell list. So, you have an arcane list that is it's like the
8:02
progression is kind of like ranger um in terms of your base spells except you're accessing
8:08
arcane spells mostly of the illusion and enchantment schools. Though, we did um
8:15
we did kind of range that out a bit to a fair number of utility uh transmutation
8:20
aburation spells like if you can get night shield, you can get jump. Uh, so
8:25
it it's it's got your base book is mostly utility though if you're
8:32
there they have tools to stack up their enchantment and illusion DCs through weapon attacks um deeper in their tree.
8:40
So you know you could pro you could use your we're aiming that you know your fantasmal killer spell will you know
8:46
probably be good at least against something that has a weak will save. Um you get you know blur and displacement.
8:53
uh you'll you know hypnotism and charm person you get you get a variety of
8:59
abilities that you know things have your book that will probably help you through your adventuring but you're not really
9:04
going to be able to do it with your spell book alone because that is that is kind of a short stack book um the SLAs's
9:10
um really are what like help you round it out um and and that's in core two three and
9:17
four here and there's a whole you will pick from a list of six right like not get fussy Yes, you're you're
9:23
basically going to pick four spells um from six six different casting classes.
9:29
Uh we didn't do warlock, but I think we got everyone else. Um um and like, you know, as you go up in
9:36
the course, some of those spells get pretty beefy, like disintegrate or heal the, you know, they're some of them have
9:43
decent, you know, they're SLAs, so some of them will have decent cool downs. So
9:48
they're kind of meant to um augment your a rogue is pretty much our game DPS
9:54
platform right now. So it's kind of meant to augment that. Um the um
10:00
it is not going to be like a casting class out of the get-go, but it might
10:05
multiclass to casting classes in a very interesting hybrid way because it could
10:12
if it tries for damage. You can get a lot of sneak attack dice in the game to try to stack up that arcane ambush.
10:18
Yes. Yes, you can. I'm a little afraid of it to be honest.
10:28
One of the big visual things that you'll recognize with the arcane trickster and we started this conversation. So, let's
10:34
end the conversation perhaps on this as well, which is the idea of the mage hand. You're going to see it in game
10:41
actually doing stuff. Yes, you will. It'll appear around the monster when it's messing with the
10:47
monster. Uh, as a side perk, when you emote certain emotes, if we had a a
10:52
emote, mage hand kind of emote that matched, we threw it in. So, you know,
10:57
you wave, the hand will pop up and wave as you're waving. Um, you know, stuff like that. Um, you know, but it's it's
11:05
um yeah, it it's not floating with you perpetually like the the the hawk. It's definitely popping in and out of
11:11
existence, but you will you'll be making it pop in out of existence. Um, you know, pretty commonly uh just the you
11:19
know, the strength of the abilities.
11:35
All right. Uh, welcome back. Thanks for watching that. That's a video, like I say, that'll be kind of a little visual
11:41
aspect of the guide that's coming up. Most of the guide you've seen a version of because it's in some part based on
11:48
the enhancement tree of the Lmania notes, although that's received some iteration in that as well. But all of
11:54
that should be planned for roughly next week. Uh probably first half of the week next week, we'll get that one published
12:00
live. So, uh hope you enjoyed it. Yeah, the mage hand is looking pretty good.
12:05
Now, the character you're seeing right here is in fact an Arcane Trickster. Uh, it was the one I used to grab just a
12:12
little bit of B-roll footage on here. And I thought we'd spend a little bit of time uh as we go through the show just
12:19
talking uh looking a little bit at this is Anniversary Island. Anniversary Island is our new public zone, our new
12:26
public instance space for not just this. It's debuting with the 20th anniversary,
12:31
but it'll probably be an anniversary space for us moving forward. It doesn't entirely replace the old
12:37
space and house Varlin. Um, you can in fact access the House Varland challenge
12:43
as well from this space, but we've for a long time have kind of wanted to break
12:48
out the anniversary into its own space. And so, one of the things we're doing as part of our big 20th anniversary
12:54
celebration here is is getting to that work. What you're seeing on Le Mania, uh, this is our Le Mania public preview
13:00
server is not the final version of it. I already know that we have a few things. Some of these NPCs are being uh renamed
13:07
in terms of title. There's a few other bits that are going to happen. I'm also going to keep it relatively
13:12
spoiler-free, but I wanted to give you a bit of a sense of what you'll be able to find when you get to Anniversary Island.
13:18
Now, getting to Anniversary Island is really just going to be a matter of speaking with Fred, the anniversary host
13:24
version of Fred. That'll be in House Fland and House Jurasco. And then when you get inside, you'll be able to speak
13:30
directly with Fred and and get some more things uh as well. Get some information
13:35
about what what's going on in this space. You'll be able to speak with Sterling the Strong Box for Sterling's
13:42
Remnant Rush, which I haven't yet brought up on this show, but a guide also went live for that here on dio.com
13:50
this week. This is an opportunity to trade in your mysterious remnants for uh
13:56
one of a list of rewards that'll populate for you. It's a random drop
14:02
50/50 on different things and you can see the list over on ddo.com. Every time you turn it in, it's going to cost more
14:08
remnants and you can do it on an accountwide basis up to 10 times per month. at the end of the month, well, at
14:14
the start of the next month, it all resets and then you can do it up to 10 times again, paying more and more
14:21
remnants if you want to take that risk, uh, and get more and more rewards
14:26
through the end of the month. So, that's going to be running through the whole of 2026, Sterling Remnant Rush. Uh, as
14:34
mentioned here, I'm just going to kind of let's just go uh clockwise around.
14:40
This is where you're going to get this cloak. Uh this is our 20th anniversary cloak that'll be given away for free.
14:45
You'll see it's got uh got some pretty cool lighting effects to it as well for our 20th anniversary. And you'll be able
14:52
to really get as many of these as you want by speaking to Weaver, the master of cloaks while the anniversary is
14:58
active. Uh I'm going to Oh, sorry. I had volume turned down for the video there.
15:05
This is where you're going to access the historic 10th anniversary challenge, which did get some updates this year.
15:11
So, you probably do want to give it give it at least one run if you're interested in that kind of thing. And you can um
15:18
continue to get the rewards for party favors like you have been long term on
15:24
this. I guess you could call it somewhat fourth wall breaking party challenge.
15:29
Our new one that I'm going to just give a sneak peek on in this show is perhaps
15:34
a little bit more in lore. And that's one of the reasons why we we wanted to, you know, we've had this one going for
15:41
10 years now. And uh we wanted to do something different. Uh this NPC is
15:46
going to get a rename. This is not the anniversary token collector. Uh this is going to be a buff that you can get uh
15:53
during the anniversary event while it's active. I believe it's a treasure hunter boost. A discovery boost. Yep. 10%
16:01
festive chance get named loot. You're also going to be able to turn in your old 15th anniversary cloaks from this uh
16:08
NPC if you still have any of those left over. At least that's my understanding.
16:13
And that's how this NPC accidentally got the wrong name. But that's going to get sorted. You'll be able to continue to
16:19
get the I guess we could call the old anniversary event rewards by speaking with Toro like you are used.
16:34
I'm not going to spoil all the NPCs and stuff. You'll notice on this bridge, there's a little bit of a coin thing.
16:41
Now, this is a minor event at best, so they don't don't read too much into this one, but the the point of this is just
16:47
to have a little fun. You can get some tasty hams from it. Uh there's also some kind of little crate that you can get,
16:55
and I guess we'll have to see if if uh I get it or not. you sort of collect whichever ones you
17:02
can uh you can reach in time. Oh, if I think this lemonia has
17:09
them kind of copper colored and we're going to change the color of that to differentiate them from um
17:17
the snow peaks and old evening star stuff. They're
17:22
going to get a different color, but that's just a little thing you can do. Rare chance of getting a little kind of
17:28
minor tasty ham from it.
17:33
And like I said, there is one more thing. Um, at the moment, this is just an NPC
17:40
space. Over here is where you're going to turn in your 20th anniversary reward token to get the list of named items.
17:48
Now, like I said, this list is actually in flux. Uh this is going through the
17:53
Lemania iteration process and where we had a discussion just earlier today
17:59
following your feedback on it this week to kind of say like all right well what do we want to what do we want to kind of do about it? We'll have more information
18:06
on that next week as we um sort of do the implementation make sure that everything works out. So you can expect
18:12
an update to some of this. Uh also the Meridian fragment that's on Lmania needs to get nuked. We can't be giving that
18:19
one out. uh not because of its power level, but because it is unbound.
18:24
So, that's a bug. That actually wasn't supposed to be in there, as I've learned to believe. But,
18:31
nonetheless, this is where you're going to turn your 20th anniversary token. You're going to get one of these tokens on every character you create uh while
18:39
the anniversary event is active. You will need to turn it in while the anniversary event is active as well.
18:45
Speaking of active, we have got a cat. Hello everyone. This is this is Brooklyn
18:53
who is sleep likes to sleep on my desk. And uh let me let me just real quick
18:59
before he uh gets too cranky and moves away. Let's get him on a bigger camera.
19:04
Say hello to the stream there. Brooklyn, how you doing? This is a big kitty as
19:10
well. There we go. Big old cat is right.
19:17
All right, let me All right, there we go.
19:27
Uh, yeah, I sort of adopted a cat. So, uh, my girlfriend, uh, has a roommate
19:34
situation right now, and, uh, the kitties between the pair of them
19:40
weren't getting along. So, uh, Brooklyn is now living at my house, and and I've, uh, picked him up. So,
19:48
all right, cool kitty. So, let's move around. Uh, musty papers.
19:54
I think I will just slightly tease that. You can read a manuscript entitled Demon
20:01
Lords of the Abyss and other kinds of things. Maybe a
20:07
little bit of a hint on some of the things that you may have heard about in the producer letter. Now, I think this
20:15
is one of the final bits to show off. This is the giver of gifts, the arcane trickster
20:21
master. Once you get in game when the anniversary is live here with the release of update 78, you'll go to the
20:27
giver of gifts, uh, interact with them, and that will unlock Arcane Trickster on
20:33
your game account. You'll probably I think you'll need to log out and log in to get that billing token applied to
20:40
your game account. But once you speak to Giver of Gifts, log out and log back in, you should be able to create an Arcane
20:46
Trickster for free. It's going to be free while the anniversary event is active. So through March 31st and then
20:55
after that point, it's going to be available in the DDO store. So you don't need to buy it. You
21:00
can just go log in and get it free. And that's what you should be doing once update 78 goes live. All right, we're
21:06
going to end our brief tour here. Oh, there's a little jumpy thing here,
21:11
too. That's pretty cool. And some other bits you can explore. But like I said, we're
21:17
not about exploring it all today. I'm just giving you a preview. This is where you're going to find the new Time Flies
21:25
anniversary dungeon. and you'll speak to Syrian Drandall.
21:32
And uh there's a bunch of different uh versions of it. I'm going to just go in
21:37
on easy mode here because this character is not fully geared out for actual questing.
21:43
Um this is a character I just kind of quick created for a little bit of B-rolling for today's show.
22:01
The quiver of elacrity is definitely the if you don't if you don't it is probably the number one choice because it's a
22:08
minle quiver that you can equip. You can also upgrade it if you want to. It takes a little bit of work but even if you
22:14
don't want to it's a pretty good quiver. Gives a little range to lacrity and has
22:20
no minimum level. All right. So, you'll notice that we're going into some
22:27
existing spaces here. You're familiar with the chronoscope, but things are looking different here. So, we're going
22:32
to wander around just a little bit, and you'll kind of get a bit of a sense of
22:39
of something something happening here.
22:46
Oh, I would also point out there we don't yet have VO and such on this preview.
22:53
So, uh the text in that is text only at the moment.
23:17
Oh. Uh, it's next time in combat. I need to remind myself. Next time in combat,
23:22
uh, I need to test out. I'll show you some of this mage hand stuff. Oh, where was my third?
23:28
Where was my third? Um, the evidence of sabotage.
23:34
Oh, I myself arcane trickster. I have haste if you don't if you need. Oh, here
23:40
we go. Okay, so let's uh let this is going to be the eye poke.
23:45
Now, let's move over to the presto. This is the one that uh just snaps him into
23:51
some unknown place. Do the slap there. Uh this particular one is one I'm kind
23:56
of half testing for maybe my live character, and that is a Vistani knife fighter. Kind of pure rogue arcane
24:04
trickster is kind of what I'm going for, I think.
24:09
Oh, I've got force missile, both S uh chain missile SLA, regular
24:16
magic missile SLA, Scorching Ray in my spell book, color spray, some other good bits.
24:27
There we go.
24:33
There are some other good items and like I said, we we are taking a look at your feedback. So, I I would expect to see
24:38
some updates to that item list uh something like next week.
24:44
The Corey of the Dreaming Dark infiltrated House Kanth. They're studying the chronoscope under your nose
24:50
while sabotaging construction. I need to get in there. So, done.
25:00
Now, I'm not going to go too much longer into this because but I just kind of wanted to get you a sense of what you can expect during the anniversary
25:06
dungeon here. So, um we will head in
25:12
briefly
25:21
I think. Go.
25:34
So now you're going to be in a little space here and uh the main gist of this
25:44
new dungeon will be that you'll go into these portals and each one will be a version of something you're familiar
25:50
with but a little bit different. And I'm just going to pop into the first one here and then probably call it just so
25:56
that you can kind of see what's up. So this is uh this is from which dungeon
26:01
now? Um
26:10
Oh yeah. Oh good. You're awake. Bron pits. Yeah. So
26:19
except things could be a little different. Now, there's a whole bunch of dungeons that are like this, and it's going to be uh semi- randomly generated
26:26
for you throughout. So, so I think we're going to leave it at that. Like I said, this is the anniversary stuff. I don't
26:32
want to spoil it too much, but what'll happen is then you'll keep going through that portal to complete your tasks.
26:48
Uh why are the load screens showing like that? It's cuz we're on a preview world and the load screens are Oh, and I'm on a I'm on an admin. Probably a
26:56
combination of both of those things. So, we do have new loot that's in the
27:02
dungeon here.
27:10
You can see it goes up by level four and goes up to level 36 because we are
27:16
arriving at level 36 with our expansion later this year.
27:21
Let's uh we can get a lot more information. I
27:26
believe this is already posted by players on Lemania and what have you, but
27:35
time-twisted versions of famous items and popular items over the years.
27:44
Hey, Bad. Take that cloak maybe.
28:01
Okay. So, anyway, you'll you'll run this similar to the other dungeon. Get your
28:06
stuff, turn it in while the event is active. So, then finally, oh, let's uh we have not looked at the Sterling the
28:13
Strong Box loot list yet. So, why don't we take a look at that?
28:21
Oh. Uh because I don't have it yet. That's why uh I don't have any remnants
28:26
on this character yet. That's why I didn't plan ahead on that. But uh let's see. Let me go ahead back
28:33
then to maybe a few more of this. I didn't get all the way through it. So
28:39
chain shirt of toppling. I'm just going to skip to the level 36 version so you can kind of see where it caps out at.
29:02
and uh I will have some uh visual stuff for this this guide when we get to this
29:08
point as well. I'm going to try to grab some screenshots of of what some of the stuff looks like and uh populate it in
29:14
the article as well. Robe of Resonance.
29:22
We have some nice things with Sonic happening in uh update 78 as well. Getting rid of the MR cap on it.
29:31
Yeah, I think that's correct.
29:45
All right,
29:50
let me just end back at the testo on the Mona here
29:58
because I believe we can take a look at the rewards. Is it from the loot guy?
30:06
No. Yeah. Uh, no. That's the cloak of summer. Can I
30:11
see it?
30:17
No, but it'll just show up here, which is eight or 16 of cursed cards, uncanny cards. Other you basically get a eight
30:24
or 16 card set or a deck of many curses. Uh the other category, it's a 50/50 drop
30:31
card of curse cleansing, ability score upgrade, tome selectors, one for each ability score. And then these dusts of
30:37
mythic bonus, uh, cloak, glove, and boots, and reaper bonus, cloak, glove,
30:44
and boots. The way those work is these dust can be applied to an item while the anniversary event is active. So, you can
30:50
only apply it to an item through March 31st. Once applied, it'll provide a uh benefit
30:59
to Mythicore Reaper permanently on the item. So,
31:06
We'll see. I I you will see. It'll definitely influence the card of cur curse cleansing market. That's for sure.
31:13
But uh but that's how it goes. All right. I'm going to hop in here and just
31:18
sort of have this cloak pop around a bit. Actually, you know what? Let's while I'm doing a little bit of Q&A and
31:25
news here to wrap things up, let's just uh go into a public space and show off a little bit more arcane trickster combat.
31:33
I did want to let you know that we have a 10% buddy boost. That's why I
31:41
didn't quite set up this character
31:48
correctly to be able to quest on Xback. I didn't
31:54
grant myself the stuff yet. So, why don't we run
32:24
Like I say, this is uh I'm way overlevelled, but we'll just get into a thing where I can show off some more of
32:29
these abilities.
32:36
Meanwhile, while I have a few minutes left, uh, let me take a look at chat. It stops in March. The anniversary event
32:43
runs through March. Now, the Sterling Strong Box will continue throughout the year 2025. And the way that's going to
32:51
work is uh the Sterling NPC will be in the Hall of Heroes
32:57
uh both while the anniversary event is active as well as a second location, but then also available for the rest of 2025
33:06
here.
33:15
Uh, we did just do our gather your party 2025 uh, coupon code, you know, for the huge
33:23
content giveaway. So, I don't know that we're expecting to do
33:29
that again.
33:37
Oh, this one will actually heal you, too. you've got a mage hand that'll heal you. Oh, I know what I can also show up.
33:42
Uh the other thing you can do with this uh is disable traps. So, you can
33:48
actually disable traps with your mage hand from a distance. I also notice you can get uh insightful damage as one of
33:54
your uh stolen spells as well. And I'm almost certain to be doing that uh when it comes time for building my character
34:02
online. Like I say, I'm way overlevelled for this, so don't worry about the damage
34:08
and that so much. This is just about kind of showing off the uh mage hand stuff and maybe uh some of the SLAs's
34:14
and other things that you can do.
34:43
Uh, you raise a good point. I may have misspoken
34:49
on the end duration of the Sterling the Strong Box dust. It is March 31st, but
34:57
is it this year or next year? Might be next year. Uh what do I have listed in the article? That is that is my
35:03
understanding of what uh what the is I believe I misspoke though.
35:09
Let me take a look. Yes, they will apply a benefit through
35:16
33127. So through March 31st, 2027 for the relevant item type, after which point
35:23
they will no longer apply a benefit to an item. Any benefits that have already been applied will be retained.
35:42
Yeah. So, this helping hand will actually heal the target for 50% of their max hit
35:48
points and apply a restoration effect. And as you can see, this has a just a one minute cool down. I've been getting
35:54
this uh using this to some benefit. Just kind of playing around a bit.
36:01
Greed and villain has won out. While I'm out, let's see where can I find a good
36:08
trap to disable here.
36:13
Oh yeah. Um,
36:21
I just do proof is in the poison. That's what I can do.
36:28
Are we still accepting stream partners? Yes, we have applications for a DDO creator program and you can find more
36:35
information about that on ddo.com. We're really focused on the Loro creator program right now because we're getting
36:42
ready to launch that in the next couple of weeks, but as part of that work, I'm intending to onboard a handful at least
36:48
a handful of um DDL creators who just didn't make it into round one. And so if
36:55
that's you, uh if you maybe want it to be you, go take a look at the creator
37:00
program on ddo.com and uh apply for it if it seems like something you might
37:07
want to do.
37:17
My cat is being me. I don't know what actually I do know what my cat wants. My cat is upset that my bathroom door is
37:25
closed. And my bathroom door is closed cuz uh
37:31
it's cold.
37:36
Okay, down here. Here's our trap. All right, so
37:42
search for traps like you normally would. And there's a trap box. And you don't
37:48
use the regular thing. You'll actually have a little skill there. Mage hand. Disable traps.
37:55
There you go.
38:02
I have two. I have two.
38:09
All right. Before I wrap up the show, uh, was there anything I have not gotten
38:15
to? We did have a fix this week. update 77.2.1.
38:20
The main purpose of that work was to correct an issue with the vow of glory.
38:26
So that did mean an end to the Symphony of the Fay uh redux that we had going on
38:31
for just a couple of days until we were able to fix this bug. That means though any of your Symphony of the Fay
38:36
characters that were previously having a difficulty picking up items that were not faymarked after the event was over
38:43
will now not have that issue. the vow of glory will be off the character.
38:50
And uh I did mention this earlier, at least I started to, but we have a 10% buddy boost going through the weekend.
38:57
That's plus 10% XP for every member in your party, not raid group. So only parties here, maximum of 50% then, but
39:06
it's through Monday. Monday is a holiday in the United States. And uh so we're
39:11
actually giving you the bonus through the Monday as well. So, if you happen to have a 3-day weekend and a group of
39:16
friends, you can get a whole lot of XP this weekend. And uh perhaps maybe you ought take advantage of that if you're
39:23
interested in it. Otherwise, I would just point out ddo.com does have a 20th anniversary article up.
39:31
It's just ddo.com. 20th anniversary. It's got a top tab
39:36
over on ddo.com. Just see that right here. But you can
39:43
get a lot more information. Say we've got the token reward list preview up, the Sterling Remnant Rush preview up,
39:50
Arcane Trickster is next. Then we'll be doing the Time Flies boss rush uh kind
39:56
of guide. It'll also be an inclusive guide of the prior anniversary event as well. We'll wrap things up with a
40:03
limited time anniversary bonus and events article. This will also be an
40:08
article about the public area space for Anniversary Island because it'll kind of
40:14
tell you the NPCs and what you can get all there. And there is another one I'm working on. We have got a bit of a soundtrack in the works. I don't think
40:20
that's going to quite launch in time for the start of our anniversary, but our 20th anniversary year for Dungeons and
40:27
Dragons Online is going to be continuing all year long. So, we have got some things happening soundtrackwise for that
40:34
like a tease for you today. Before I wrap it up, do we have any more
40:40
questions? Do I voice the hulking creature falls? And if so, can I say the line? I didn't. No, I I noticed that.
40:49
However, are the items with the fay borders back
40:55
to normal or do they still have the fay border? They do still have the fay border. My understanding is we've been
41:01
looking at our ability to uh strip that border out, perhaps exchange it for
41:07
something that just will have a item descriptor of the fame mark in it. Um, we did see a little bit of feedback that
41:14
a few people do want to preserve that as well for the event, but the larger
41:20
feedback has been that they would prefer us to remove that border. That is something that we're looking into. Can't
41:25
make any promises yet. It'll probably show up in the release notes most likely after 78 would be my guess. A follow-up
41:32
patch of 78 if we're able to do that.
41:39
I don't remember the full line. Hulking creature falls, but
41:47
how far can mage hand reach for traps? Is it the search radius? I believe that
41:52
that is correct. I believe it's search radius.
42:04
No, that's not correct. Uh, well, we'll have more information on the archetype
42:09
guide next week. I think I think it might be ray. No, limited raycast,
42:16
something like that. We'll have more info in the guide. I think I saw something about that in there about how
42:22
the mage hand operates in terms of distance and it would be the same for disable as it would be for any of the
42:27
other abilities. All right, thanks so much everyone for
42:34
watching Fridays at 4 on twitch.tv/ DDO stream. I'll be back next week
42:39
again. I'm going to be doing these weekly live streams throughout our anniversary celebration here. Uh, I'll
42:45
be in game doing some anniversary stuff in March, for example. Eventually, I'll probably back off doing weekly Friday
42:51
live streams, but for the foreseeable few weeks, at the very least, I'll be with you every Friday and on YouTube
42:57
afterwards. Thanks so much for watching, everyone, and I'll see you next week. Have fun. Bye-bye.

First minute and then about the 18th minute, where Codrdo talks about feedback and the list being in flux.
Can you condense that into a video I can watch, instead of having to read all that?
Thank you for the transcript of the entire video. If only there was a way to link the actual video instead...

There is an edge case important note we want to make sure you are aware of regarding the 20th Anniversary Token Reward list, and that is that the reward Void is an "Exclusive" item. This means that only one copy of it can be in your inventory. If you try to select Void from the Token reward list with a different Void item already in your inventory, the item will not deliver and your token will be claimed.
