The chat channels and various message boards related to 9Dragons have been buzzing today about some new items that no one has seen before. They are all very similar to items that are already in-game, but they are better, much better.

It started here today in the comments section of a post I put up several days ago. One of our readers wanted to know about a new HP hat he had seen that gives 2/1000 hp return. He saw it in a stand on Nirvana. I know there are some unusual clothing items from the Black Market seller on CC3, but they can't be coming from there. The CC maps have been down for several days.

It occured to me that these might be Qilin's Mirror objects and I checked the price of that item in the coin mall. There is no way anyone has bought one of those recently. They are priced so that people won't buy them. That doesn't mean that nobody has any Qilin's Mirrors. They were a Thanksgiving Day give away item and like usual many, many people loaded their alternate characters with those give away items just in case they might one day be useful.

The Qilin's Mirror just got useful and here are a list of items than can be had, along with some screen shots. If you don't have a Qilin's Mirror in your bag, you can drool for now. These are some nice items.

1/3/5 BE's, 1 Exp card, 1 Drop card, 300/400 damage vagabond wristbands, 20/25% speed vagabond boots, 6/1000 and 7/1000 hp absorb ornaments, 6% and 7% speed ornaments, 1/1000 and 2/1000 HP and VE absorb hats and much more!

Warda seems intent on making this collection event a weekly item and I don't mind, if she thinks she can keep up the pace, and keep the volunteers motivated to help. She might have to listen to those volunteers in order to keep them motivated, but at the moment that isn't really happening. One specific thing the volunteers asked for was to make this a monthly event, rather than weekly, and I can see how that would help to avoid burnout.

Warda needs to remember that "it's not leadership, if they aren't following..."

I forget who said that.

Anyway, the second collection event is on and we've now had three versions of the collection list. The first two lists would have been impossible to complete because the first version included a non-tradeable item, and the second list included needles. Needles are so rare. I've taken 3 characters past that mob and I did collect these items to sell in Hefei. Between my 3 characters I didn't get 1000 needles and I worked hard to collect them.

The current version of the collection is doable, but it includes one very expensive item, Red Passes of Tian-Yin, the Silver Coins dungeon on the Nanchang map. Good luck with that, but I'll admit that it is doable if someone is willing to donate.

Here is the current version of the full list;



Have fun with it, and enjoy the event next weekend. My wife and I are going scuba diving for two weeks. I'm taking my laptop with me and I will check in from time to time, but probably won't post much. The Thanksgiving event should start while I'm gone and I would like to have those usual gift items, so you may see my characters in game from time to time. My laptop is slow though so those characters will probably be parked in a quiet area of the clan map, to avoid my usual disconnection problem when I use my laptop. I'll see you all in two weeks.

Edit: Just checking in from Mexico and things look good for this event. As was predicted those Red Passes were pretty much impossible to collect and Warda has carried that item over to the second list. That's not a bad compromise in my opinion. From the looks of that second list you'll have no problem getting a really good event next weekend. Have fun.
