Here is a list of must have anniversary items.

16th:
Pirates of Timorous Deep - Bonus: Shimmering Black Pearl - 45 AC 350HP/MP heroic stats and best of all it fits in your charm so you don't have to do ever quest in ROF T1 and T2 to get a good charm aug.

15th:
Sprucing Up Shakey - Bonus: Wee'er Harvester and Big Belt of the River - never run out of food and water again

14th:
Piestro's Day Off - super easy 40AC 250HP/MP aug different heroic stats

Lots of other cool items in here but these are what i feel are most important.

5th -13th important items to come later. opens 4/27/2016
 
Pretty confident it dropped every time I did it last year.

The only real shame is the Anni augs are prestige (and lore Group). /sadface
 
You only need to burn down the captain at the end, or if your dps is not enough you can dodge the canon AE emote so the captain didn't get hit(thus you can get the good map instead of the burned one), that will get your charm aug.

To clarify, if you run to the end of the mission and burn the captain before the canon hits him you will get the "good map". If you fail you'll get the "burned map". If you get the burned map, drop the mission and do it again. Once you have the good map, you'll still need to go back and do all the kills to get the chest to pop. (I don't think the order of the kills matters, but I usually start back at the beginning since the chest will be at the end. ) The aug is always in the chest, but only 1 aug per and there is a lockout timer. So if you need it for more than 1 toon, you'll have to wait the timer out or leave the other toons out of the task.
 
Theres the shrink ring thats easy to get too.

At work so cant get the reference/link due to firewalls.
 
ran it about 12 times, all 12 times the good map dropped but I ran to the end boss and killed him after the 1st hail..... then went back to start island and murdered the zone.... nice aug!

Whenever I ran this with friends, we found if the dps was good on the Captain, then the aug always dropped.

I am sure that's the quest he means JB
 
Do the augs for the 14th anniversary and the 16th anniversary bonus aug share a lore group?? I did the War Games aug for all my dudes, but am still interested in the shimmering black pearl.... but if is lore with ALL the other anniversary augs I might just use my limited time in game elsewhere.

Thanks!

Black pear is only lore with itself, and the 14th anni augs are lore with other 14th anni augs only
 
I did the Pietro's Day Off quest for a friend last night, just for the tick in the box. It dropped a 14th Anni Blue Stone of Power aug that we couldnt use. We just left the stone in the chest (Chest appears next to the quest giver in GD - non instanced zone), called an alt over and the alt looted the stone. Didn't have to be in the group or mission to be able to loot. Score!
 
There aren't any penalties for dying in the monster mission, right? This might seem like an easy mission to shotgun my little box team through for the aug.

Nope... no penalties for dying in a MM ... not even exp loss.

It is an easy mission, did it with 3 buddies, we played war/clr/ench and me wiz ... Wiz blows everything up, chanter is good for mezzing and charmed pet. Only ball-ache is the run back because there is no rezz... bind ar GD book in PoK. Theres a point where you have to 'hop' through a water tunnel in PoM. Have fun with that... One of my buddies spent 10 mins trying to get into it (moron).

This might not be that earth shattering, but a tactic that worked for me in the past was this:

1. Get the MM
2. Choose your monster class
3. AFTER you've transformed, go to the fellowship insignia dudes in PoK and do the hails/says to get another fellowship clicky (you can get another one, despite the LORE tag, because the game isn't detecting it on you while in your MM form).
4. Run to the mission
5. Drop a campfire
6. Clicky, as necessary.

FUCKING GENIUS!

However I was the only one that died because whilst I was waiting for my moronic buddy to hop into the water tunnel for almost 10 mins... I was waiting for him in the tunnel. Obviously I forgot that I didn't have equipment that allowed me to breath in water ...

The mission is easy, you shouldn't really die on it.
 
6 box this mission a few times...YES the BIGGEST pain is that jump...1st time took me 2.5 hours to get 6 toons thru it. Still takes 5-10 min to get the "hand" thru that spot.
I 've always just "banked" my fellowship clicky, got shroud/MM, and got it from the bank...
 
heh, again, the campfire clicky can help with getting all six toons through... right?

Ahhhh, the penny has dropped. I imagine you should be close enough to your other toons to get one character through and then drop the camp fire beyond the tunnel, so that the others can click through.
 
Its been awhile since I did this, but I thought that it didn't work INSIDE the instance.......Someone may need to check this :)

Good point... I haven't actually tried it. Just thought it might be something to try.

To follow up on this-

Clicking your fellowship clicky to an in-instance campfire only brings you to the instance's zone-in, not the campfire itself.
 
Another one that I haven't seen many people talk about is the 16th Anni Dead Dragons mission from Ankra by a tree in pok near big bank.

Really nice lifetap clicky, that can also be used as a pretty nice agro tool. I play a monk as a main and it helps a ton.

Mission is extremely easy. Follow thru the steps then just hail the guys at the end to receive it!
 
Another good item from the 15th Anni line

- Group Mission: What Happens In Neriak...
-- Starting NPC: Sayden G`Noir (click for map image) in Nektulos Forest (/loc 1520, -820, 20 -- southwest of Neriak's entrance).
--- Reward: 250 platinum; experience; 5 Commemorative Coins
--- Bonus Reward: Diplomatic Papers
 
I highly recommend doing the 18th anniv grp tasks, Delving into Frostcrypt which rewards bonus item Darkened Corrupted Orb of Living Ice, a ~EOK T2 quality range item NON-PRESTIGE,

and Fippy's Further Revenge which rewards a decent charm, Darkened Blackburrow Trinket .. the charm's focus seems to be on the player-race slayer ach's...

Both quests are a piece of cake for an EOK geared group to box through... and the bonus, EVERYONE in the grp is rewarded the quests bonus rewards.. no running this 6 times over to get everyone geared...
 
Tsaph's Day Off - which gives some version of "Zueria Slide: Stonebrunt"

It is apparently powered by being in kunark zones, but it loses hardly anything by being in other zones (19 AC and 113 hp/mana )

The mission involves simply being teleported around and following 2 NPCs. It says to kill 10 things, but I find just assisting the NPC and damage/debuffing a little is enough, the NPC will do all the murdering.

Only the 1 toon needs to travel, everyone else in the task can sit tight anyplace.

If you happen to lose the NPC's, or they port and leave you behind ( happens rarely ) just make your way back to PoK and talk to the task giver again, she ports you to the last zone to redo that portion and continue from there.

Takes roughly 17m start to finish. I would say "macro that!" but MQ can not seem to target the NPCs /boggle ... but hey its 6 toons worth of charms for 15m of following a chick around. Married men ought to be used to this by now! =P

The following is a list of all the must have anniversary items. Enter any of them into zam and the corresponding quest will come up. Shimmering black pearl, stone of power aug, drunken stein, powar aug, and trophy, necromantic dragon bone, shimmering bottle of vex, diplomatic papers, horn of unity, cleansing rod, bloodmetal inlaid gnollish totem, and shrink ring. I probably missed a few please feel free to add.
 
Tip for Frostcrypt Anniversary Event:

- Don't hit Beltron (end guy who warps every 25%) with a big, long duration DoT right from the get-go. My cleric hit him with Turn undead, and got summoned to the corner when he warped at 75%. Somehow I managed to not die while I ran my tank over (through adds, I might "add") to take the heat off the little guy.

- It's easiest to wait until Beltron regens back to 100% and paths back into the middle area. Alternatively, you can clear/run your team to the corner he warps to and engage him there. He'll warp to a different corner every 25%.
 
I am working on the Frostcrypt Anniversary Event, and when I get to Beltron my characters start running towards him when he warps away. The won't retarget any of the adds, and only focus on him. Anyone happen to know a quick setting change to fix this? Basically, I need to reset my targets to the adds, and disregard him until he comes back into the room.

I tried using /mqp, but the moment I unpaused kissassist the group went back to targeting Beltron and ignoring everything else that was attacking me.
 
Have a hotkey ready on your Main Assist...name "All Switch", command "/bcaa //switch" and when he poofs hit the old reset to take care of locals that need some death dealt to them....
