Vine Ring- Kill 30 Tainted Rock Beasts and it works to trigger the event. Unfortunately, it spawns 30 "A Bloodthirsty Vegerog" instead of the 10 that are supposed to spawn for the event. The good news is that if you kill 10 of them then Derugoak Bloodwalker spawns as he should if the 10 proper "A Bloodthirsty Vegerog" spawn. After killing Derugoak Bloodwalker, the remaining 20 "A Bloodthirsty Vegerog" remain up and despawn hours later. We killed 10 more "A Bloodthirsty Vegerog" after downing Derugoak Bloodwalker to see if he would spawn again but no such luck. I guess I would say this event is working except for the triple spawn of "A Bloodthirsty Vegerog".

Stone Ring - Works fine and haven't noticed any problems with it. I did notice that Peregrin Rockskull did not drop any loot at completion of the event except for a spell rune but I do believe it has been stated that it is intended that this may occur.

Dust Ring - No issues. It appears to be working perfectly.

Mud Ring - I don't even know where to begin with how broken this event seems to be. Killed all "An Earthen Mudwalker" to start the event which worked fine. "A Sludge Lurker" spawned as is supposed to happen. Well, not really. It actually spawned 13 or 14 of them. My entire extended target menu with the 8 ranks of eyes wide open was full of "A Sludge Lurker". Managed to split them and started killing one. Once the "A Sludge Lurker" was down to 50% the 10 "A Muck Mudlet" spawned as intended. Killed those off and back to splitting the plethora of "A Sludge Lurker"s. Rinse and repeat many times and sometimes "A Sludge Lurker" would finally despawn completely and sometimes respawn in the temple with the rest of them upon death. On the death of the pack of 10 "A Muck Mudlet" from "A Sludge Lurker" #10 or so we finally had 4 "A Filth Gorger" spawn and it seemed like things were progressing. Killed the 4 "A Filth Gorger" hoping to see "A Monstrous Mudwalker" spawn but nope. Continue to kill the multiple "A Sludge Lurker" and on about "A Sludge Lurker" #12 two of the ten "A Muck Mudlet"s spawn under the ground and couldn't be targeted or aggro'd. We killed the eight "A Muck Mudlet"s we could aggro and continued on. Finally managed to kill all the "A Sludge Lurker"s and... nothing.

I know you have done some work on the rings and applaud you for the effort. I know nothing about what goes into those on the scripting side of things. I know some others have also had issues with the ring events and unfortunately it is locking people out of Plane of Earth B even though they are putting in the effort. Would it be possible to tie "The Mystical Arbitor of Earth" to just the completion of the Stone Ring, by far the hardest anyways, or the Stone and Dust since they actually work as intended? Or just have "The Mystical Arbitor of Earth" up all the time? I'm not sure how many people have the time or resolve to attempt to complete all four rings in their current state. I am all for the spirit of the events in the game remaining true to PoP flagging and progression but the current state of the Plane of Earth progression is frustrating to say the least. Additionally, even if "The Mystical Arbitor of Earth" is made more available it isn't as if Plane of Earth B is a free ride. Unless something has changed in the last week or two Warlord Gintolaken remains the hardest individual mob outside of Plane of Time on the server.

Thanks!!!
