+ Changes from last Palooza: None!, The last palooza event went quite smoothly - no changes to the format/timing

What: Povus-palooza is the premier Povus-defending party squad. (With free alcohol, food, buffs, drugs, etc.). This event is open to players of all levels and involves players overwhelming one of the highest-difficulty areas in the game. I expect the event to last 1-2 hours. (Varies depending on difficulty and average duration of quests)
+ See here for a short video from the first event!
+ If you're interested in helping host or willing to provide anything, please post here or reach out to me on Discord!

When: [Sunday 7/31] at 1:15PM ET (~23 [24-1] Hours After Poetry Jam)
- Officially, dance brews will be dropped when the in-game clock strikes 3PM - I highly advise you log in early as the first ~25 minutes of the event (party + free stuff) is synchronized to finish as the Povus night defense event starts.

Where: The event starts at Serbule Inn with a dance party, everyone is welcome to attend regardless of if you want to join for the Povus defense! After the party we will grab some buffs in Serbule and then portal to Povus for handing out the remainder of the free stuff/buffs.

Why? The goal is to fully clear a Povus night event mission and have fun going overboard with buffs. What better way to convince people to risk their lives fighting horrors in a disease infested swamp than with a party that has free booze, charcuterie, tonics, and drugs!

Anything else? - Yes I'm glad you asked!

1. I would love to hear your ideas for how we can improve the event.
2. We have the opportunity to strategize and organize ahead of time, feel free to post and discuss additional ideas here. I have some ideas already below.

Strategies:

1. There's a small window of time where we can light lamps before monsters spawn at 8PM in-game time. With enough players, in theory we could complete the lamp-lighting quest instantly.
2. If we find ourselves in a ghost-heavy set of events, we may need extra stuns. Paralyzing traps (from Rahu Sewers) and the ability "stake to the heart" are good options for players who don't have skills with stuns.
3. Be prepared to need to fix broken bones and/or to help fix the broken bones of our tanks
4. If you're able to heal and/or tank I expect those roles will be in higher-demand but it would be helpful to have other sets of gear ready.
5. Set party loot rules to allow anyone to loot corpses (this will give the lower-level players more to do as well!)
6. Do bury things
7. See here for a map of the zones of the town along with lantern locations for the first quest.
8. Note that the southern and eastern edges/outskirts of the town have a more dangerous respawn location than the rest of the town.
