Hello, and welcome to Sklotopolis’ first Grindalong!
 When is this event?
This event shall run from Sunday November 5th to Sunday November 12thWhere is this event?
This event shall take place at Eternal Flame on Liberty!
andistyr.github.io/wu-map/14816/#eternal-flame-1743What is a grindalong you may ask?
A grindalong is a special event in which all players have a chance to raise their skills across many skills together!
Have you just started out, and wanted to grind your skills to 50 or higher, or do you have great skills, and want to grind out your level 90’s (or even 100’s?)
At this event, the materials to grind over 30 skills will be provided, as well as individual guides for the most efficient ways to grind each skill!
All the tools for each grind will be provided at 50QL if you don’t already have them, as well as affinity meals for your grinds!
But wait, there’s more!!
This event will also host both an impalong and a priestapalooza at the same time!
Going for your level 100 faith? We have a cathedral with all altars!
Have tools, armor, or weapons that need enchants and imping up to 70+? Simply drop them off in the impalong building and we’ll mail your new and improved items back to you!
But wait, there’s even more!!!
Throughout the week, there will be plenty of events, such as a scavenger hunt, a mob arena, a last-man-standing event, an ingame wedding, and a slaying at the end!
At the end of the event, all players will receive a cookie for each title posted in global chat!
Additionally, we have 2 stalls available for the impalong as well, so if you're interested, just let me or Dweia know!
As well, if you’d like to donate any resources or items towards the event, or have any questions, or suggestions, simply message either myself or Dweia anytime!
Let’s kick off November with a bang!

Howdy everyone! One week till the event!!! We're still in need of enchanters with higher channeling (80+) for the impalong, as well as those who would like to help improve players' gear. If you would like to sign up, shoot me or Dweia a message, and we'll get you added to the list! As well, we still have 2 empty buildings if you would like to host a stall at this event! Lastly, we're always in need of iron, as I'm sure everyone can guess how quickly it disappears when grinding various smithing skills  If you have any questions, suggestions, or ideas, no matter the type, simply shoot myself or Dweia a message anytime either in the forums, in-game, and we'll get back to you as soon as we can. Looking forward to seeing you there!! |

Sound like you need an enchanter - I'm white light only that LT and COC NIM ASOP ON ARMOUR WOA MD - I'll bring a food bin full of garlic to sac, I'll take a stall, I'll bring Bern 98 channel for LT enchantment and Drift 96 channel for Vyn spells and placement of items, since this is a week long I don't have the time to be 100% there. With this said Bern and Drift will need Deity perm and a mailbox and 2 altar vyn and FO for better %.

The Venerable Blue Dragon has been captured, and shall be attempted at the culmination of the week-long event on Sunday at 7 P.M UTC!
If anyone has any questions, please don't hesitate to PM myself or Dweia in-game anytime, and we'll respond as soon as we can.
We also still have 2 stalls available if you would like to host shops or displays.
Lastly, if anyone happens to have barrels of lye sitting around, any will help, and we will be ready to roll this upcoming Sunday, November 5th!

Good afternoon everyone! As the event begins, there will also be a deed-wide scavenger hunt. There are 10 Scavenger Sacks scattered across the deed, or 11 including the free example located at the teleport! All sacks will be located within the borders of the image below, and are all outside buildings! ![]() ![]() ![]()  Can you find them all? Good luck! |

Hi all, I just wanted to address some issues people have been having with the sermon tracker.
#1 - The 'Empty slot 1' bug not allowing you to sign up into it. I'm looking into this, as it shouldn't happen. I assumed people were just on sermon cooldown but it seems to affect everyone sometimes, so I might have a bug in the timing calculation.
#2 - Skipped sermons and timing issues. I'll be making some changes to ensure players who start their sermon within the allotted time don't get skipped while actively preaching. I'll also be making a change to remove an empty slot if someone not signed up performs a sermon, rather than everyone being pushed back 30 minutes. This should also help bug #1 if it returns.
#3 - Notification visibility. I realize an impalong is a very busy place during peak hours, and even when colored an event window message can pass by very quickly. I had hoped the bell sound would help that but since some players play with sound muted it doesn't help everyone. I'll look into how to push sermon notifications to the local chat window instead, and increase the range that they broadcast in. This should lower the amount of people being skipped due to event window spam.
#4 - History. Not even an issue I see people bring up, just a passing comment. I could probably add a history list that shows all sermons that took place and when. You could review it and see if your timer is off because people were late or got skipped, etc.
This is the first big stress test for the mod, as I could only get a few people on my private server to test it in the development stage, and thank you for being patient with the tracker even if it caused you issues like being skipped.
Of course development takes time and I am busy with work, so you won't see an update for this mod before the grindalong event ends. However, I will do my best to work out some of this and maybe grab people for another public stress test, and have it working before the next big event.

Danky's sermon tracker mod is fantastic! Such a big QoL change. I'm sure the bugs will get shaked out. Thank You Danky for all your hard work on the tracker!
