Woo! I'm so happy! I killed a black kat on the mission weight of darkness, I must have been super lucky for the dark ritual book token to drop on my first black kat like that... I wonder what the drop rate is... I've only seen 4 people with one at the moment.

I recorded the boss fight in case anyone would like to watch it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57bvnT20UfE

Nice work Three Rings, awesome update!

Does it bind on acquisition or when you equip it?

3 questions

1) did everyone with you get the book?
2) Did the person in the battle also get the helm?
3) is the book a token or a material or other?

From what I have been told by

From what I have been told by someone who has one, the book is a rare drop from fighting a black kat, it goes to only one person. If you get the book you can trigger the Boss, only the person who triggers the boss get the helm, so even if you invite other people they should only get tokens. For 3, I have no idea.

Not true at all. i went with guildies. so we find a Book and i run for it so i can got it first and see if i got it or would be just given ranmdomly to someone of my party. but everyone got the book except the dude who was dead in the floor. so as long you are alive in y our party you get the book if someone get the book an youre dead you wont get the book until they get it (but they can see the book on their client side so they can have a chance to get it, like you know it works like hearts) but i know the one who is dead dont get book.

Poor Mercurial Demo Helm. It's feeling so overshadowed, though not as much as good ol' Mad.

That said, I'm glad there's finally more about the Kat/Owlite storyline!

No, i mean the book that black kat drops so you can use the book and give it to konjuring cat so he can summon the boss black kat.

once the boss it defeated it will give you the black kat cowl (unbound) i got the 5 stars version i dont know if there 3 and 4 star version (maybe the stars depend on your rank) people say everyone in the party get the a hat once the boss it defeated.

@Sweet-Hope

This is correct, I was quite surprised to find that it was an unbound item. I would never sell mine though, I mean it looks so awesome! :D

1 question to the guys that found the book/got the hat

Ok so I have a small question: when you fight the Black kat mini boss after delivering the book, if you have a party but only you had the book (which you gave to the npc) does everyone get the hat or just the guy who hat the book?

I ask since I have a friend that would love to get one but wont be able to play much through the event (like 1 or 2 days at best)...

Also, you have very good luck. I've been through 3 Scarlet fortresses and 2 Candlestick Keeps and I haven't even seen ONE Black Kat

You don't get the cowl.

You'll get 6 tokens, though.

Have sold my extra book and even found/bought a mewkat for my guild hall so I'm pretty happy. ^^

have been helping a few of you look for a book but all I have gotten you so far are tokens. >_<

I was in another guildies game yesterday and another book dropped. If I manage to get another one I'll get it out to one of you guys as I have no further use for them. ^^
