Azure is my shop on Finata. I check it daily and keep the totems stocked.
Also have 4 shop stands selling snowballs for 0.5c.

Cool, an event that I never get to experience because my general reaction time is much lower than that of others, and thus I never make it before the entire meteor is completely gobbled up.

@Tiggs @monty1 Is there any chance we could have the meteorite core at LEAST provide something (That isnā€™t the usual Oort/Metal/Mob Drops) for the not-so-fast players that participate? I got completely shafted the last time this event came around.

YES THIS THANK YOU.
Gosh, I applogize, Im tired, its been a long day. We all want new content, but thatā€™s not happening for perhaps up to a year. In the meantime, please donā€™t wet blanket their efforts to jump in and at the very LEAST offer what we had beforeā€¦ I am STOKED they are doing these events. thankyou thankyou.

Yes a true Texan would do that with other true Texansā€¦ we know that average humans canā€™t compete in those things. So I offered up the more simple and fun answers. Come on dudeā€¦

Agree, especially since we havenā€™t had the gleambow event since 2020.

If it helps there are 87 worlds that will have gleambow meteors, though Iā€™m not sure how many donā€™t have permissions for everyone.

Even if you can only access half, thatā€™s more than 40, and with the still limited player base, you should be able to find regions on a world that is free of other players.

The meteors trigger even if you are on your own, so no need to race anyone else!

A bit of advice from someone who did these a LOT, haha! :grin:

I donā€™t think I had any in-person competition last few events of this for any I raced for, maybe once IIRC But this is an event to seriously consider getting a rental for - reason is, unless they changed it, other people completing meteors on a world will lower the timers for everybody.

You really donā€™t want to complete Gleambow meteors. Yes, you get Oort, but youā€™ll eventually drive the timers down to like 30 seconds completing them, where if you donā€™t complete them you can drive the timers up to like 2 min IIRC. That is HUGE because the thing you really want to do with them is kill the Gleamtrunks to get sacs to summon more Gleambows! You can get a lot if you get your timers up high. And you can still get some of the blocks without completing them, you might have to test a bit to get the feel but I would take a few hits with a 3x3 and be fine. But might not want to risk it for materials you donā€™t want.

Take a lv 3 lush, keep the picks as flat, treeless, and water free as possible; reason a rental is good here too is none of the permanents is really ideal for this. Iā€™d sometimes beat the meteors to the spots on my rentals. :joy: If you get a rental, save the location of each region center, then run between those markers on your rental, hitting the center area will set one off though usually not the first region center you hit when you warp in, for some reason.

I have a new gleam tower that has yet to be tested on Boori. Maybe some of you would like to make use of it? Coordinates are -611N, -2173E Alt:225

The only thing it needs is platforms beyond the center.

You are talking about a tower for player created gleambow event. The gleambow racing event runs region to region like normal meteors.

Today the event will startā€¦ All ready for it ?

Itā€™s already started!

Oh wow, and Oortmas is still going for another 22hours.
Did not expect overlapping eventsā€¦

Any hunts soon? :smiley:
