Hollowshade war, 6 months later

[Xorshaik]

I've been out of the game around 6 months or so (more perhaps?) I've read some patch messages and was aware that there had been changes (fixes?) to the way the Hollowshade war works, tonight I got my first chance to experience them firsthand.

Apparently now, the east cave isn't bugged anymore thatt mobs disappear if wolves aren't up in the east, and when a particular beast owns 2 camps, they don't spawn defenders when being attacked.

This means once one race is eliminated, the south islands will tend to alternate (as will any other of the 3 camps) without assistance, but that without assistance there still won't be one race owning the whole zone.

I kinda like that, although it makes it hard if I want to do one long session of a specific type (because I don't want to have to break away to provide a defense)

Is there any other things I might want to know about?

Good writeup under quests invloving tradeskilsl forum, I suggest you read that.

its also difficult if one side owns the whole zone because inevitably someone will come along and gank the named mob in the camp. Then the whole zone resets making you curse loudly

But good luck finding a time of day when that place isn't being farmed for the Eye of the Owlbear Mother (range FT1 item).

I was in Hollowshade briefly this weekend.

When I got there, wolves were in the south, and owlbears in north and east.

Owlbears took over the south while I was there. No big deal, I wasn't exactly farming like mad with a 39 cleric. LOL

However, once owlebears owned the whole zone, it was a grand total of about five minutes before the whole zone reset.

Don't know if someone was after that ranged slot item or what, but I found it annoying.

Guess I gotta put some more levels on so I can start influencing the war.

It's no drop on other servers, less of an issue. Or maybe that's a Stormhammer thing. I have, howver, considered parking my druid there to get one.
