So we just did a run and when we all died it kicked 3 of us out (me, desorceri, and raythiel) from the sanctum. I beseeched and went back inside and we won the battle but then it decayed raythiel and desorceri when i brought them back to town because they never got the auto raise:

The tenebrous gloom around you grows insubstantial, spiraling away in a wash of blackness darker than a raven's wings. You find yourself lying on cold, hard ground.
[Angargreft, Pits of the Dead - 30082] (u7503444)
Stark against the ruddy rock comprising the walls and floor, an archway of lightless black stone dominates the northern wall at the corridor's dead end. Steps ascend to the archway, parting around a slick black stone altar. The walls to either side are painted with patterns of golden wings, the pigments enhanced with metal powder that makes the artwork glitter strangely. You also see a shining winged disir.
Obvious exits: southwest
Haloed by inky blackness, Raythiel's corpse rolls out of the archway and onto the ground.
Haloed by inky blackness, Desorceri's corpse rolls out of the archway and onto the ground.
A despondent mountain spirit floats in, trailing your dead body.```

I think happened because I moved rooms to break a tether when everyone died, somehow myself and Kipwin didn’t die at all.

Stop inventing ways to break the Sybil fight, Tijay

right? Tijay found a way to steal raises from Disirs

This was unusual. I think the sybil cast this through my 703 so it affected her too?

The elemental magic of the storm flares around you.
Large rocks swirl around a cinereous chthonian sybil.

So uhh, what if we had bounties for Wyrms and Sybils post-quest? Cull a couple, get a talon or atleast just a bunch of BPs. Grizzled Wyrm.. just putting it out there.

You had me at grizzled

I like the idea as a Mission, maybe - wouldn't want to have it conflict with normal bounties

Maybe just an opt in option?

hmm, do you get more exp from killing the wyrm or dying to the wyrm now? 😁

Dying just costs me two salve rubs, a spirit wellspring use, and a few fist-fulls of yabadabadoo fruit.

maybe SG will be the first asc hunting ground with boon spawns

The best time was when Auchand tested wyrms in 23, he unleashed a horde of wyrms on test, like 20 or more

# jaunty river spectral grizzled wyrm 👀

The next time Warclaidh is wandering about, we should get him in on a summoned wyrm. His necrotic ring has like 100% lich's curse, so it always generates a spectral when it's turned on. Back in the day anytime we would wyrmhunt together, it was a double-hunt with the undead wyrm spawning. 😄

ocean horizon
#

Does that still work?

prisma crane
# ocean horizon Does that still work?

Not that we've seen, but the necro rings we've been using aren't all maxed out, so it's uncleaer whether it's just not spawning due to RNG or because it can't happen.

ebon flame
#

I'd be down for undead wyrm 🙂 My CS will much better then heh.

acoustic cape
#

does anyone else get severe lag every time sybil dies in round 1? it used to not happen before

#

literally can't move for like a minute after round 1

ebon flame
#

haven't experienced that sorry. Do you still see screen scroll from others or is everything stalled?

austere moss
#

It’s definitely a stutter with 5 players and all spells dropping. I wonder if blocking the xml for all the spells dropping and reappearing would help

#

I’ll have to hop in a Sybil group and see if spam filter helps

Ralkean and I got yanked after first death on 2nd sybil run for two questers

Idea - new idols that can be found (same drop rate as other idols)
a golden-veined red draconic idol

That summons a level 150 wyrm. Everything is the same as a normal wyrm, except it's just scaled up to level 150.

Create a fun challenge for the wyrmslayers where we can organize around those hunts 🙂

subtle cedar
#

I wonder how many Sybils get taken down each week these days.... I swear the Wyrm always seems to be fully hunted or idol-summoned on a regular basis.

ocean horizon
#

I helped kill 26 sybils in June.

prisma crane
#

Sybils delves are a lot easier to come by than summoned wyrms, but it balances out because sybils don't spawn. I'd guess their numbers are fairly close overall.

rugged cave
#

Does anyone just do the Sybil to do the Sybil, or are all those getting questers through?

prisma crane
#

Lots of folks do. Sometimes 2 or 3 times in a row. 😄 And a lot of times it's like the case of a natural spawn for a wyrm: if a quest goer is needing it, hop on board.
Edit: "Lots" is probably a relative term, but yeah, it happens.

ocean horizon
#

My June numbers were super inflated toward the end by a player who was having a very bad time and needed us to kill the sybil four times in a row. 👀

# spark jasper Idea - new idols that can be found (same drop rate as other idols) ```a golden-v...

Love this idea for an opportunity to really push the limits for harder boss challenges. I realize this level range may be even more difficult for pure warders. An alternative solution would be using the same fancy red idol idea but to summon something fun like 2x Wyrms or a Wyrm with 2x heads/claws. this would keep the level on par but create enhanced challenge for our readied and very able (and future) Wyrmslayers. ⚔️

Or it’s end of month and loot is not a thing and we have all these pieces just sitting around..

magic shore
#

just had an odd sybil experience - we skipped the normal death and resurrection; just kept fighting til she was dead and everyone got credit/lockbox

I’ve seen it happen a couple of times, not sure what causes it but ya know what they say.. win is a win!

Too stronk

#

Death hit on the sybil was Ralk's spike thorn. Maybe something we keep an eye on for when it doesn't go through normal rounds.

shadow palm
#

Is it possible she ran and your briar poison killed her in another room? if your not in the room when she dies you don't die

magic shore
#

I only cast vs sybil (don't have enough AS to hit), but that is possible - sybil did move east and was out of view for like 2 seconds

I support the uber idols to summon tougher wyrms even though I won't be helping out. 😛 Maybe different colors could be represent a different style of wyrm and bundling identical idols could increase its level.

#

So any news on the new asc area? BTW, is there an offical ascension thread or is this it?

rugged cave
#

No news. Simucon might have news. And yes, this is the ascension thread, each asc zone has its own thread though too

Saturday 7/12 Simucon has a Sailer's Sailor's Grief panel at 4pm with Auchand

So, 3 More Boss Fights be end of year 2026, who is excited!

Boss Rush Event in 2027?

#

link to the info?

rugged cave
#

He mentioned it in the stream, I don't think there was a slide. And the streams are not posted yet

spark jasper
#

I think we're ready for a double or triple wyrm, on rare occasions Auchand. We've refined our approach to a point that I think you can comfortably raise the bar! 😬

#

maybe after defeating one, there's a chance that we've angered a nest and 2 or 3 more show up simultaneously? eh? eh?

Do we start all wearing our ghostie rings again? See if we can make the magic happen?

OOooOOO can we give the wyrm a robe and wizard hat?!

# spark jasper maybe after defeating one, there's a chance that we've angered a nest and 2 or 3...

If you really wanted to reward those who help often AND those who are prepped/skilled you would make it into a rare second instance inside the Wyrm's Reach so.... you defeat the normal Wyrm but then you get a message "a glint of light reveals a small hole in the cave" and you have 30 seconds to decide to go in knowing you will probably be fighting two more Wyrms right after this first one but maybe there is a Wyrm's nest after that you can search for guaranteed nice stuff (keys, locks, etc)
(That way it is a reward for only those 5 that participated if they dare)

Is it still really hard to find a wyrm? I'd like to try it but I don't want to take someone else's chance

If you have an idol or find someone willing to offer one, I have a few friends that can help you through it 😉

spark jasper
#

So..... how do we go about building out the next boss battle that ups the difficulty? like true, deep, late game content that even the whales get frustrated with? Like the ultimate challenge

#

I want the bossiest boss, like one that makes me work the whole weekend.

obsidian pulsar

I genuinely want a kraken, but in order to fight the kraken you have to get picked up by its tentacles, defeat the tentacle so it lets you go then climb up to it's face and stabbity stab it's eyeballs until it tosses you back to the ground.

minor locust
#

Have the tentacles already in SG be a big part of the kraken fight, tentacle picks up Riend and now Riend's out of the fight until someone kills the tentacle

sweet lily
#

V'reen hive mind...it can morph and steal abilities from those it kills. Pull up level 273 Myrefalcon or Hyperdhol from GS3

lusty lake
#

Every attack should be an open roll. You know because that's about all that frustrates whales.

#

Also sympathy ++ that increases the sympathied player's stats by 50%

spark jasper
#

Formal request for you to investigate this, Auchand:
You can't climb a silver-scaled cold wyrm.
Please and thank you 😬

woeful lodge
#

Let me scale that bad boi using my mega climbing skills and just start eyeball stabbing, pls and thank you.

raven oak
#

Only if you can take damage from when it does a barrel roll

spark jasper
#

For some reason, i swore the wyrm was going to be eligible for "jerky" from that fancy shank knife at the EG auction....

With hungry intentions, you wave your curved trail knife at a silver-scaled cold wyrm and wish she could provide a quick snack.```
woeful lodge
#

Yeah, I don't think they've gotten that far... none of the HW mobs have bones for the bone knife either.

minor locust
#

Wyrm jerky would go crazy on the menu.

#

Literally just sit in front of the wyrm eating it. "Mmm... the skin of your kin is delicious"
