DUSKRUIN GOLEMS: Those Duskruin Golems can now have their operational part ADDed to the chassis from the cart at the Bloodforge Workshop in Duskruin, Lich room 26091. You can select a core, furnace, dynamo, or a cauldron. There are two of each, one costs 5 bloodscrip, the other costs 50,000 silvers. COVER the resulting Rune to bring your golem pet to life (so to speak). More of Mister Wyrom’s plans:

Alright. Announcement on the golems!

on #forums/paid-events/ channel
In just a bit, the golems will have their next phase released, which will let you create the pet. I had run into some issues when converting it to the pet system that I think I just had my “aha” moment with. Once I put that all back together, it will be completed, but I don’t want everyone to keep waiting, so I’m going to release it a little bare bones in the next hour or so from this announcement and then work on putting it back together tonight and into tomorrow. You will not need to do anything extra after you have it in pet form, it will retroactively fix itself. I’m going to list this in phases just for better visuals.
Phase 1: RSN
You will need to pick up a furnace and ADD it to your chassis. Once you do that and have all the parts added, you will need to head to the bloodforge and OFFER CHASSIS to finish it. Be warned, once you take this step, there is no going back for an exp orb. You do not need to do it this run, but parts will no longer drop after this run. So feel free to save what you might want. There will be ways to get parts in the future, they just won’t be linked to the event directly.
After you complete that, you will have a summoning prop that you will COVER to summon your golem. At release it will have a random size and be a golem. The material it is made of is the primary metal of the plates. So if you have rolaren plates on it, it will be a rolaren golem. I might spruce this up in the future to be able to have more, but for now, metal golems!
Golems cannot be picked up, they’re too heavy. They will follow you around and do some stuff similar to other pets, but at launch it will be pretty bare and quiet.
Phase 2: After RSN
The messaging will be restored with some additional checks in place. This will make them similar to the pet cats (not kittens) that already exist in terms of how verbose they are with ambient messaging. FEED should work, more on this when it’s ready. I expect this very late tonight.
Phase 3: Late Monday
Quee functionality should be working with this as well as the ability to ADD parts to the golem itself. It should be complete at this time. When Quee rides around in the golem, it will add happiness points every golem “pulse” that happens (this isn’t the same as exp/mana, it’s a but slower). Happiness is the stuff that gives you exp each 10 infusions with Quee, so it will be a bit more hands off for you if you want to toss him in there. Quee will get a unique flame when he’s in there and will give variant messaging to some of the golem’s ambience. Quee will be safely stored ( ) when in the golem, so if you get logged off or the golem goes missing, you will be able to retrieve him after summoning your golem. Quee integration is what this was so delayed, so I hope it pays off.
You will be able to toggle the size and noun of your golem, there are a few selections, and I may add more at a later time. Golem nouns can be golem, automaton, or construct.
Phase 4: Quee Updates
At some point after all that, Quee’s updates (and a few bugs) will be out. More on this when it’s ready. Nothing huge, just some of the stuff mentioned previously.
~~From later on as the cart began selling things, he added:~~
Oh I forgot an important part. In Phase 3:
You will be able to toggle the size and noun of your golem, there are a few selections, and I may add more at a later time. Golem nouns can be golem, automaton, or construct.
Just want to make sure it’s clear, phase 1 launch will be a bit of a snooze fest. Don’t take their lack of actions to heart. I just want to make sure you all can start the process while I put everything back together. I was struggling with converting it to the pet system. My own fault, just admitting it.
Just another reminder, you will be able to change the article and noun in coming day(s). The golem’s ambient messaging is off right now. There are 4 furnace types for sale, but there are 8 on the cart, 4 of them are for BS, 4 of them are for silver, choice is yours. The “quest” is easy, just LOOK at it. I’ll fixed the LOOK showing the nothing unusual line next update. The look also will get slightly improved.
It will panick if you die.
