Reports of an ominous web blanketing the entire sky have been springing from coast to coast! Rumors have it that small spidersilk cocoons have been falling from the web and making their way into treasure chests found across Elanthia! Opening these cocoons don't appear to be much of a treat, as insect carapaces are in most of them! These carapaces can also be broken open for all sorts of mundane loot, but some lucky adventurers have reported finding some really rare things! Be on the look out for these cocoons throughout the week (7/7 through 7/14).

Very neat. Does 125 blow up the cocoons? If so, I guess I'll be hitting the locksmith!

You inhale deeply upon your pipe, puckering your lips as you send out three rings of smoke before you, then puff out a small vine of smoke that darts right through all three which causes them to disperse in a hazy shroud!

Over 9000 cocoons have been found already!!
We should break 10k by morning.
Those of you that automate the retrieval of items from treasure chests, we are noticing you are leaving the cocoons behind. The janitor is really getting a ton of these! At least 50 cocoons with special items have been trashed!

As I might not have any time to hunt this week, I'll gladly take them if you want to collect them from the janitor for me.
As neat as these cocoons are, they're just as stupidly annoying to open up as the clumps of sand/dirt/jars/etc you find when digging. Please, for the love of everything else that is tedious in the game, remove the whole aspect of cutting your hand(s) when opening these things up.
>As you reach inside your insect carapace and break it apart, something from inside the carapace falls to the ground. You somehow managed to cut yourself and wring your hand in pain!
I know, it's the last day to find these cocoons in treasure boxes and I probably won't have to deal with them much longer, but out of the 23 cocoons that I've opened, I've cut my hand 3 times.
On a side note, I found nothing good out of them:
Around 2k in silver (total from about 1/3 of all I opened)
A cup valued around 400 silver
A necklace valued around 600 silver
2 wands (glass & bloodwood)
Various gems, nothing of much value
I've gone through just over 200 boxes on various characters and found 23 cocoons. That's roughly 1 cocoon every 8 boxes. So that's probably about par for everyone else....or am I just unlucky? Feels low, but then again I'm not out there just hammering the pavement trying to farm boxes and cocoons. Just doing normal hunting as I normally do.
Anyway, thanks for the cocoons, but please do us a favor and remove the chance that you cut your hand. If you're unlucky enough and upon opening a couple of them in a row, you can end up with a rank 2 hand wound....this aspect with the cocoons/jars/clumps of dirt/sand/etc makes me want to literally bang my head on my desk.

The carapaces are the exact same thing from digging. But fair enough. The carapaces associated with this event will no longer injure. Those that do injure, the rate has been reduced significantly.

Just so you know, 3 injures was SO below the average too.

Those numbers are accurate. Cocoons are loaded into a treasure chest at a rate of about 12%. At the time of this post, 13310 cocoons have been generated. The rate for orbs is already pretty high.
>>On a side note, I found nothing good out of them:
With the injure update, I also upped the odds of gems and dropped the odds of junk (horseshoes, etc).
>>Mailer that just went out says throughout the month. They sticking around a bit longer?
Yeah, we'll keep cocoons going for the month.
One other thing, orbs aren't the only thing that can be found. There are some ultra rare finds.

Yeah! No more injury! Thank you.

Good to know they'll be hanging around for the month. Also, awesome update with the more gem drops and less junk finds.

I want details! What's been found so far? What teasers can you give us for what remains?
Do we get a higher drop rate % in Platinum? LOL.

You see High Inquisitor Brinret Ithillote the Executor of Vengeance.
She appears to be of elven descent.
He is very tall and appears to be full grown.
You whisper aloud, "I'm so confused right now."

No teasers. Those that have found something can share though!
>>Do we get a higher drop rate % in Platinum? LOL.
Platinum has higher tier orbs.
>>Did you forget to keep them on in Platinum? I just went through a dozen SoS boxes without finding one. Normally I find 2 or 3.
Cocoons? They're on. I'd have to manually turn them off.
