I'll graveyard this thread if need be; i.e. if in one of the other threads answers them in a better fashion. BUT:

Does it trail behind you in some fashion and if so how?

Whimsicality said that it did, but what on earth does it look like? http://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/102007#comment-925121

Is it like the grasping hands or does it float and grasp like the carbine "bird" or is it just darker footsteps or does Leonardo DiCaprio spring forth and follow you humming the trailer for inception or does fire spew forth as cradle is split in half or what have you? If it doesn't, I'm selling the one that I will inevitably get while farming for radiants. Cuz I don't want to look like I've got a fugly crab mouth. That's weird.

If someone could post a picture of what a trailing effect may or may not look like, that would be appreciated.

I think I need this now.

... or does Leonardo DiCaprio spring forth and follow you humming the trailer for inception ...
I don't know what thought process brought you to think of this, but now I really want it to happen.

Oh that is good sweet hope. Thank you very very much. Not as good as Leonardo DiCaprio would have been, but certainly worth getting.

Is 10k sigils possible? I haven't played it yet, did they buff sigil drops or is it still at 6 per soul?

Since OP was already answered...

If you can make more than 1000 Sigils per day you're good as a goofy goober. I myself have been trying to get 2000 - 3000 sigils a day.

I personally get bored of the mission after one or two attempts through but it's more than possible. It just takes a lot of grinding and dedication... mostly grinding.

I like the degree of coordination that the mission takes; rather than just going down and doing whatever, you really have to talk to your team and clear out the floor in a methodical, even agile, way that really makes the game's potential shine out.

The only issue is that this is an event, and that it becomes predictable. Its very very easy to define the event like so:

if Harvester is chasing you:
----Distract the Harvester as long as possible
else
----Farm the gravestones and solve puzzles

What the event needs is for some kind of variation on the Harvester's attacks, as well as the tombstones, as well as the format on the whole. For instance:

Gravestones spawn: (Choose 2)
-Bombies
-Scarabs
-Various Gremlins (Apocrean Themed)
-Silkwings
-Shadowy Glop Drops
-Swarm elements and monsters
-devilites

Additional Elements: (Choose 1 or rarely 2, if any)
-Pentagram that summons deadnauts at the start of the level
-Battlepods
-2 Tortodrones
-Maulos
-Giant Green Jelly
-Black Kat

Harvester Attacks: (Choose 2)
-Area effect of grabbing hands
-Soul Sucking
-Spawn reskinned howlitzer heads in circle around boss
-Move while soul sucking; deals status effects
-Area effect of grabbing hands that effects larger portion of the level

Level variants: (Choose 1, if at all)
-Large hole in middle
-Divided by walls with gates and keys
-One way gates

Something like this would increase replay-ability by a large margin, and is really what I expect from a game about random generation in MMOs.

That said, its still my favorite event and I think they did a great job on it. Last Halloween. :l
