new tokuno area, and have yet to get even one artifact. :(

I've gotten 3: some funky arms that don't do anything, a helmet that
I can make better than myself, and "The Destroyer", a +50% damage
2-handed sword. I may keep that one.

You have to kill the monsters by the coastline; the ones inland don't
seem to yield anything.

Me and GF have been killing Hirous and Onis for about 5 weeks now I
think , and we have a total of about 120 tokuno treasures. GF gets
around 1 treasure on 300 arrows approximatly.
A lot of hours.....hope it's worth it when publish 31 comes.

They take the publish to Origin shard today, I guess the other shards
will follow end of the week or something.

I doubt if you've killed a thousand, unless they were all birds or rats. It
probably FEELS that way, though! :)

I get about four an hour, in the quieter times on the shard (i.e. got the
place to myself). The best place I've found is the daemon (or are they now
demons?) area in the fan dancer dojo. Two to three EVs take down each one
fairly easily, and I just stand around decapitating the occasional headless
:)

It's all about fame - the higher the fame the creature would give you, the
more 'points' you get towards your next minor artifact. So, you'd have to
kill hundreds, maybe thousands, of mongbats to get one, but only a small
number of daemons, onis, etc.

I haven't gathered any proper stats, but I get the impression it takes about
20 revenant lions to get one, if you want something easier. However, with
all the other undead spawn that's usually around those things, that figure
might be a bit off.

The exchange is postponed - it shouldn't be much longer, probably about a
week. Siege is going to be fun - every thief on the shard is probably going
to be camping the trade spot for at least a month! *sharpens axe of thief
grinding*

Good luck!

I've been killing Bake Kitsune dogs and Hairy Birds (Hiryu, Hiyru,
Aaahchoo?) About 4 trips of 12K gold to the bank for 1 minor artifact
with these guys. I haven't logged in for a week though. Playing through
a large Thief II fan mission at the moment. :)

Say, did the lizard men ever invade in Atlantic? Has anyone gotten a
Mystic weapon yet?

We only hunt on the Hiryu platue or what it is called...the top Moongate
in the list and then a bit to the right from there. Only spawn there is
Hiryu, Lesser Hiryu, Oni and Elite Ninjas, and some kappas down at the
coast. We play with our Bard/Archers, and they perform extremely well
there with a dragon slayer and a demon slayer. The ninjas cant be
provoked, but usually thats no problem. Provoke the others and shoot the
ninjas. Loot is good, Money is Very good and the treasure-drop is good
too, and best of all, this area is quite empty on our shard.
Occasionally we meet 2 or 3 other players here but never more that that
so its easy to find monsters to kill. Sure, we die sometimes, the Onis
are mean to us sometimes..., but we can live with that :).
I have so far gotten around 40 treasures and my GF around 85 I think
since the event started. We will keep very few of them when publish 31
hits, a couple of weapon stands and urns, some of the flutes and maybe a
couple of the spellbooks, but the rest will be traded for Major treasure :)
I havent kept record exactly on how often we get a drop, but the last
time we played (just half an hour ago) we got on average 1 treasure on
every 300 arrow.
After this event is over, I will Never go back there I think. It feels
like I have seen every tree and grass there is to see there by now :)

We have tried some other areas of Tukono, but this area is absolutely
the most optimal I think. High Fame-monsters, not too dangerous and
fairly good spawnrate. I wouldnt be there with a pure fighter without
barding though...

LEt some of us know when you're going and we can pile up on them.
The last Atlantic "meet" went real well, we should all do it again.
