Another Milestone

Today I celebrate my 2500 day here on Excelsior. Usually, I have celebrated these milestones with a huge giveaway of stuff (Sort of, you had to solve my riddles and puzzles)but this time I am holding off for October when I celebrate my 7 year milestone. This does not mean I wont give anything away this time, just wont be as massive. If you would like to see what type of questions or riddles I pose, just search the forums for "Another Cygnus Milestone Event" thread. Over the next few days, I may pop on to give away things like 120 Animal Taming, Spirit Speak and Swordsmanship; Complete key ingredients for Peerless Bosses like Dreadhorn, Shimmering Effusion and Chief Paroxysmus as well as many Lady Mel tickets; 3 million in gold; 2k in Elven Notes; 10k Organics; A bone crusher; 3 imp squirrels in crystal; GOC; etc. I may even throw a toughie riddle in there and give away a Dex bag that has a Dread Pirate hat, Gloves of Pugilist, Jackals Collar, 6 str, 6 dex bracelet, blessed Ravenos Shield of Endurance, blessed triple 8 ring, and an 8 dex, 8 str, 7 int earrings also blessed. Sorry, no Batwings as Netopir and I evidently do not get along (0 wings on gazllion attempts).
A quick disclaimer - I am not promising to give all this stuff away though I will try to do so. Real life has intruded into my game time and sometimes I am too tired and just don't feel like getting on, even for this stuff.

Hint: To better your chance to win anything, please explore this shard as much as you can. My questions are geared towards Excelsior, not just UO. Trying to Google an answer will most likely just waste your time. This will be my 3rd event, so I may repeat a riddle or question from a previous one, depends on how many questions I do. One more hint: Get to know the Excelsior Monster Compendium.

Hope to see you all in the next few days. :dance

I ran like a little wimp the last time I saw one. :scared: But!.....I will have a go at him at least one more time. Got to best him at least once. Maybe its payback for being the first to slay a normal Sphynx on the shard. :lol:

There won't be any question/riddle giveaways tonight for 2 reasons. Too tired and on top of that I broke my glasses today and don't feel like typing while holding onto them. So, hopefully I will have something I can use by tomorrow. My apologies.

Another fun night, Cygnus- thank you! Riddle solving is clearly not my strong point but it was cool learning about the mosaics... never knew about them. I'm looking forward to the next installment! :D
