She will talk to you about setting up a surprise for The Desert Nomad and accept donations of these seven items: Bring her 250 of them and she'll reward you with Vacuum Packed Desert Nomad Armor You can gather them from the Desert Nomads. - Desert Nomads - Level 1-30: Newland Desert Level 100-149: Broken Shores Level 150-200: Mort (mostly just 150, higher in the northwest quarter) Level 220+: Perpetual Wastelands (mostly 250 in the southwest, wider range northwest, can drop QL300 armor) ... no sign of any in the 31-99 range yet. The Desert Nomads are aggressive outdoor mobs that respawn relatively quickly and wander about a bit. They regularly teleport back to their spawn point so they won't wander too far. They drop: - an assortment of social items from all the previous years of the Anniversary Event - Desert Nomad Armor appropriate for their level - those seven items The Tinker wants. Once she has collected 500 of those items, The Tinker will assemble them into a giant gift box and The Desert Rider will spawn and slowly approach, with his entourage. A server message will alert everyone to come greet him at the Newland Desert whompahs. When he arrives, after a short discussion with his bodyguards, he opens the gift and, of course, it's a bomb. - The Desert Rider - arrives at /waypoint 2232 1586 565 in Newland Desert. He's a big boss riding a giant lizard who periodically spawns suicidal Fanatic Desert Nomads who attack anyone nearby. They have very little HP, but their attack is a suicide bomb that does a fair amount of damage in a large area. Do try to kill them before they explode, not only to prevent the area damage, but because if their bomb goes off and they kill themselves, they leave no loot. "There is nothing you could loot inside." Beware of using any AoE attacks or heals, though, since there are often flagged players somewhere in that crowd. After The Desert Nomad is defeated, the team that did the most damage can loot some goodies from him, including Vacuum Packed Desert Nomad Armor Yalmaha Clio Everyone, regardless of damage done, can approach the giant gift box to recieve: Gift of the Desert Rider - Desert Nomad Commandos - in the SBC-Xpm Sites SBC-Xpm Alpha-Romeo is the PvP notum mine accessed from the battlestation lobby. Most of the time, it's just the usual Rogue Notum Miners there, but every couple hours, a Desert Nomad Commando boss spawns right in the middle of the area. He doesn't move, but he can pull you in and kick you away and snare you, and he's rather a brute, but apparently soloable if you're well geared for fighting bosses his level. The site is instanced for the same PvP ranges as the battlestation, and he matches the maximum level of each instance he spawns in, so 30, 60, 100, 150, 200, 214, and 220. Personally, I'm way too gimpy for that and haven't gotten enough confirmed reports to say what exactly he drops. * * * The Party * * *was June 24th, 2016, 8 PM Eastern on Reet Retreat's, Glass Dance Floor with DJ Gemmikins [timeanddate.com] When is that in my time zone? * * * Subscription Bonus Offer * * *- Buy three months of Membership and receive one month for free, plus: Combat Nano Can +50% XP for 4 hours Silencer's Helmet - Buy six months of Membership and receive two months for free, plus: Combat Nano Can x2 +50% XP for 4 hours Silencer's Helmet Silencer's Bulwark - Buy twelve months of Membership and receive four months for free, plus: Combat Nano Can x4 +50% XP for 4 hours Vacuum Packed Silencer Armor The Silencer Armor, once unlocked, can be claimed once by each character on that account. * * * New Since Last Year * * *- Desert Nomad Commandos (?) - Silencer Armor ----------------------------- version 1.00 2016-07-10
