    It was announed on the twitch sometime that moon events will be reworked and there will be new uniques or reworked ones as event rewards.
    So, when will the new moon events be coming?

    I say keep an eye out for it in November. That would be my guess. Also I think just the rewards are changing once again.

    Also a pun is the New Moon event starts today :)

    So how the heck is a person supposed to do it solo?

    I keep getting killed!

    Specially in that "Eternal Youth" quest! Too many waves to handle solo!
    Keep having to pot health and mana gets used up too fast also!

    Its hard to do without proper gear and appropriate stats. 2 ways to try, either ask some powerful player in your server who would be willing to take you or make a group with others around your level and try. although i can guess that both cases would be hard. but good luck.

    At lower levels, you definitely need to do it in a group. There are many endgame players who can't do it solo. Also, by doing it in a group, you conserve the scrolls that are used to summon the boss as only one person needs to use theirs. Along those lines, the funny thing is that it is not uncommon for people to ask me for help and to try and convince me to come, the offer to summon. Because of this, I regularly have more scrolls at the end of an event than I do at the beginning due to helping people.

    HAH!

    Methinks you better rent a warehouse for the scrolls! :eek::D
    (or at least separate locker from the gnome!) :p

    Oh, Baragain - one thing I did'nt understand from the event notice:
    Do you actually have to fight her or just "banish" her with scroll in the fairy ring? :confused:

    The scroll summons her, then you need to fight her to banish her... but that is the simple explanation, and I am not know for my simple explanations... Thus, here is the long answer...

    To answer this, you need to understand that there are two main purposes to the moon events.

    First, it is a twice monthly opportunity to earn "Draken." This currency can be spent at the event merchant "Gnob." Gnob hasn't been around for the last 5 months, and the CM's promised that he will come sometime relatively soon after Lor'Tac was released. I'd bet sometime after the upcoming Dwarf Heist event. You can buy a varity of items from him, ranging from uniques, buffs, mounts, pets, emotes, etc. Much of the better stuff takes a lot of Draken, so farming theses events is the one surefire way to be prepared for when he comes.
    ---This farming is done by progressing along the progress bar you see when you hit "E." You do get a little Draken from killing the boss, (Unless you hit one of the jackpots and get 100 or 1000), but a bulk of the Draken comes from the progress bar.

    The second purpose of the moon events is to farm for the moon event unique sets. The New Moon set is very strong offensively where as the Full Moon set is more defensive.
    ---This farming can only be done by killing the bosses.

    All this to (hopefully) answer you question. You do not need to summon the boss to progress through the event, but if you want the gear, you'll want to fight her as many times as you can.

    Yeah, that pretty much covers it! lol ;)

    And I take it that the boss is a tough one!

    And the sets are level scaled?

    But for right now I think I am just going to concentrate on getting Astaria
    as strong as I can at this time!

    Are the Realm Chambers coming again? Do I need Table Fragments any more?

    Ran the new moon event today .. and was really disgusted in the drops.. White items everywhere with occasional green.. After my 4th run I didn't see the sense in continuing.
    Really.. I personally find the event a waste of any resources I have. The blue essence could well have been better used in Khaly.

    Well, drakens, cubes, gems, lvl50 set. I had 2 legendaries in 25 runs. And I didnt use blue) but I agree drops could be improved. I would remove whites from events, and lvl40+ maps) I would better see nothing drop instead)

    Fwiw, eternal youth is really easy solo with a mediocre level 46+ dwarf. Just drop a tesla coil on the virgin every 10 seconds, and shoot and stun the sludges, red circle witches, trees and final faerie.

    Honestly, tesla coil is just insanely effective for mobs and defend quests.

    I get it.
    You ran the new moon event for the first time, didn't you?
    That's why you have no idea what this thread is about :D

    New Moon event comes every month and this event has been around for ages. This event is soo old that most of the Veteran players don't even care about it anymore.
    Now recently after the new level update, Team DSO announced in their Twitch that Moon events will be changed/reworked and the uniques as well.
    So, I was asking if anyone had any idea when will these events be changed.

    And then you came talking about that VIRGIN :p
