Shimmering effusion!

**merth** · 13th July 2007, 12:12 PM

In the spirit of lets get those dang CC's, Goldmember and Thom started the hunt for the keys to get to the shimmering effusion. After a quick shout for a little assistance to make things a little easier, i come running with my 10k. Well after about an hour of steadily destroying crystal sea serpents we still were not able to gain the key from them. Does anyone know if this drop item is bugged or broken? All the other keys were safely obtained yet this one didnt seem to want to drop?

The third key, Crushed Crystals, is a large white crystal.
It uses the same graphics as the quest crystals.
It is found, rarely, on the crystal sea serpents.
These guys are easy to kill, but are found in the same room as the hydras, which can make things a bit deadly.
The key has a low spawn rate.
You may need to kill 10-20 serpents to get a key.

Shimmering effusion!

I killed close to 40 sea serpents!

Wasn't there something wrong with that key for a while (in-game bug, made it impossible) not too long ago. I don't remember if it was Effusion or not, but one of the peerless was impossible to get to because they screwed the pooch with the/a key(s).

If so I wasted many hours in prism. Gonna post a "how to get keys" guide for prism but would like to have the crushed crystal as well

Now that I think about it, it cant be I saw a group doing shimmereing when I was collecting keys.

**DiP** · 13th July 2007, 01:27 PM

Did they finish, or were they collecting for days on end like you?

ALl I know is that they were fighting shimmering while I was collecting the keys.

**DiP** · 13th July 2007, 02:13 PM

Oh, then nevermind.

I think the only rational reason as to why you didn't get a key would be that since my gametime has been getting mauled on lately, my RL/UO Luck has been passed on to you; so expect much of the same (disappointment) until I get my gametime some better armor.

lol, I was very disappointed too last nite, I felt bad for merth and thom since they were just decoys as I was laying out those serpents

.

But our method was a very good one none the less, I kill so many serpents and hydras are very easy to kill now, all I do is discord the hyrda and provoke all the serpents on to it you get a dead hyrda within a min!

**DiP** · 13th July 2007, 02:23 PM

Would it be possible to get some mages there with you and have EE's do some dirty work too?

**merth** · 13th July 2007, 02:23 PM

Aye would have to agree strategy for once wasn't an issue

Went very well cept for key not dropping
