- Reward: Enkidd Howler S4 Blueprint (L)Posted here - http://www.cyreneforum.com/threads/cyrene-september-4th-mini-patch-notes.837/
Two of us were each going to do the Dire Weed and the Tide Claw for the two blueprints to check them out. It turns out the 1k Dire Weed mission isn't active, so I finished the 1k Tide Claws and was surprised to have the discovery of the Enkidd Howler S4 blueprint.
That unlimited gun looked very tempting! We had seen a video of the S1
so new it was some sort of sniper weapon and couldn't wait to see what the S4 version could be.

We were surprised to see the high level of the blueprint, and the fact that it said the requirement was Armor Engineer, even though the BP says it's a weapon.
Sent a PM to Lykke on the Cyrene Forum to point out the error so that they could fix this, and figured we might as well gather materials unless either we had enough for some clicks or they sorted out the BP profession requirement.
As far as the mats go, we knew what dropped the Strong Sinew as we had hunted the Mature Rhino Beetles before and looted them, but had never heard of the ore. So, checked the discovery list PM'ed the person that discovered it, who gave us a hint and pointed us in the right direction. We mined all night but found none of the Ycyan ore.
The next morning, we finally got a hit on it after two of us each dropped hundreds of peds of probes to find it!
Sadly, it was only enough for 1 ingot, and the BP requires 11 per click... OMG!
We worked on gathering the mats with two of us mining for that "Extremely Rare" ore (they aren't joking!) and even had another friend come up to the planet to help us in gathering things.
After a few days of this, and hundreds of peds later, we finally gathered enough materials to do 4 clicks with the help of a great friend, Grrrrr.
So, since the BP was bugged and required armor engineer, we would have to find an outside crafter to help when the time came to click it. We were too curious to see the new weapon and its stats.
Lastnight, we asked a friend for a couple of warp flights to get the right people and materials together to attempt the clicks (special thanks to Anhithe for his space taxi services, who was even so kind as to not charge!).
Finally....
George Ace Skywalker is the first colonist to discover Enkidd Howler S.4! A record has been added to the Hall of Fame.
(Thanks Ace for being in my only top 5 of players I trust, you rock!)
Sadly, we were surprised again by the blueprint's SECOND bug - the item was (L)!
Not too surprised, but the fact that all of the release notes had no (L) for the item, as well as the item name, etc - made us feel quite let down. We suspected that it could be (L) even though it wasn't in the names anywhere and the BP comes with 100 clicks on it, so clicked it with residue to be safe. The materials for this took a lot of time and many peds to gather together. We have sent another note to Lykke about this to ask if this is supposed to be an (L) item since everything else pointed to its being unlimited.
Special thanks to Anhithe for the flights, Ace for the clicks, my husband for putting up with me... and a uber thanks to my hero Grrrrr for helping us find more of the Ycy ore!
The gun is close to a bravo, but nice that it is SIB at level 48 and some extra range and damage on it. And it looks a LOT cooler!
(So I will get skilling to max this little thing)
Thanks for reading!
