The event doesn't end for 26 more hours

It's over for me, even if I am a monument fanatic I've hit the point of queueing up 7 monuments and letting them run out

Couple hours left - everyone get what they need from Thronemakers?

I’ve got one more godforge to do 😅

I got to event rank 110, am sitting at something like Monument level 204 and still haven't seen a Medjed. I found a Gilded Kheper on Sunday.

Things I liked about this event:
- There was 6 layers of things to chase. Between ornate shade adorns, cryptid hunting, rolling eastern masks, getting tons of dynasty scrolls, getting free raids for shots at aaru robes and leggings, godforging, going for potions and materials I don't normally see on floor rewards, getting monument guild levels... this event was so generous that I think we are going to be going through serious event mob density withdrawal for a while.
- The base difficulty allows it to fit into current anguish difficulty scaling perfectly.
- The reduced floor count in monuments felt about right: you couldn't make every monument key positive, and if you wanted to blast through to the raid it was very quick.
- Monuments were some of my favorite content, so this is the first event I've gone in on so hard.

Still a day left, but I'm happy. My highest Event Rank so far.
toxic fable
Things that need to be reconsidered:
- Gilded Scarab Amulet hunt: an attempt at something new was made, and it missed its mark. The only thing about this event that stood out as unsatisfying was rolling the 33% (later 50%) cryptid spawn to find a gold bug, and then rolling the 40% (later 20%) fail rate for an amulet drop. If cryptid hunting is going to be done in the future, make the drop guaranteed at least because it felt like a huge gut punch to not get the drop at all until my 6th gold bug. Also if the item is supposed to be this rare, do not allow people to pull it in the astral tree; it was a tad frustrating that even my highest quality one didn't come from the mob I hunted.
- Anguish maluses: Consider letting us use Agony path for raids in monuments. I took 2% permanent debuff fade to avoid the enemy second chance malus, and it made the end raids far more annoying.

Did you enjoy any parts of the event?
We'll get a survey up soon to hear all your thoughts <3

Ah just reading this now :)
toxic fable
Things I was wrong about:
- Eastern mask. I thought this would be stupid on othersouls, turns out the lack of defensive stats makes that a non-issue. I could see it still getting some ward nerf for t10 usage, but I was too quick to jump on the "this is completely broken" train.
- I usually say "hey this damage is way out of range here", but having shade of neith accidentally backhand my follower with the force of a small nuclear explosion was hilarious. Can probably reduce her damage against lower tier players, but inherently the monument entry cost is so low that these damage spikes are kind of endearing.
- I thought the gilded amulet's dodge increase would be broken, can't say it has changed anything for me.
Overall the negatives are so small that I can't really take points away for it, this is the best event orna has had thus far. The only problem is that everything following this will be compared to it unfairly.

whoops, whole day ahead lol
Holy you scared me for a moment

I was way too locked in on Australian dates and times 😅

I think I'm really gonna miss this event and monuments reliably being good

Scratch that stat about finding nothing to reroll: fool of april made arisen aaru robe to show up, so 0 -> 1. Sadly no ornates.

Things that need to be reconsidered:
- Gilded Scarab Amulet hunt: an attempt at ...
Hey, at least you found one! Just means I still have something to look for when the event comes back, and I think that keeps the game alive.
-# I did find a golden scarab but it was with an alt 😅

- Kheper: 11496, Gilded Kheper: 10, Medjed: 8, Ramesses: 8407
Monumental guild went from somewhere between 65-75 to 165
No gilded with a quality above standard, but got the 200 mask!
Monuments certainly felt rewarding to do. 131878 proofs

So what is Odie going to put in thief path Thronemaker monuments next run now that Neith shades are extinct? 🙃

Whenever I think i did alot I know there's a person who did ten times as much as me, lol

since it's going to be my last complain about thronemaker (until it returns) i hate the idea of glided kheper being super rare(i really hate) with no guaranteed drop
if it had some cosmetic stuff or meme gear /item it would've been fine

Thoroughly enjoyed this event, big fan. Only saw one golden poop, no bed sheets, but man was it fun
toxic fable
It is supposed to be rare
They are making the same complaint I did: cryptid spawn rate + not the only cryptid + drop not being guaranteed feels awful.
before the rarity change (assuming cryptid spawn is 1/1000), your chance of getting a gilded amulet was 1/1000 * 1/3 * 3/5. After the change, it was 1/1000 * 1/2 * 4/5.
I failed the first rate 4 times and the new rate once before I got one, and it was beyond annoying.
hasty silo
Overall I really enjoyed this event, got me back into monuments and the final iteration of the floor chests turned out really nice. Having them be the same every floor for a week really allows you to pick the best options for what you're looking for.
As for the cryptid rarity I feel like it could be doubled and still be a challenging farm, I slowed down a lot after finally codexing everything but still barely saw any gilded khepers.
Neith: 3365
Osiris: 1163
Ptah: 3261
Sekhmet: 3363
Kheper: 3647
Ramses: 3326
Gilded kheper: 2
Medjed: 5
One final thing did anyone actually get a proof of melancholy drop from medjed?

Honestly my only complaint is that regular dungeon farming will be so boring after this
