<p>I want to emphasize that, as far as I know, there's no other way to get the Royal Mummy Crate yet. It's different than the mummy crate in game.</p>

[Calthine]

<p>More please!</p>

[Calthine]

<p>Wow, we had some <a href="http://rift.zam.com/Im/tag/NotDContest2012" target="_blank">great pictures submitted</a> over the weekend!  You have until midnight on the first to enter to win!</p>

[Calthine]

<p>WOO! I just got to try on the Royal Mummy Wrappings.  It's five pieces and yes, <a href="http://eq2.zam.com/wiki/eq2_item:Royal_Mummy_Wrappings" target="_blank">includes a tiara</a> that does not destroy your hair.</p>

<p>Please remember not to photoshop the screenshot at all! Just the raw screenshot is all we're looking for. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

<p>Reminder: <strong>This is the last day to get your screenshots in!</strong> Any submitted after 11:59pm Pacific tonight will not qualify. Here's a few tips if you're stuck on ideas:</p><p>1. Any spooky/creepy/Halloween-y location will do--overlands zones, dungeons, player homes, dungeon maker dungeons or even NotD instances.2. Try to avoid having a target arrow/target ring show. It's not necessary, but it can detract from the overall impact of your picture!3. No photoshopping--that includes no borders and no text added onto the screenshot itself. Any that we do have like that (there is, unfortunately, a few) will be disqualified. Like mentioned above, we're only looking for the original screenshot! (you can crop it down if needed)4. If your computer can handle it, turn up your graphic quality. Let those details shine!5. You can enter multiple times (but can only win once)! We don't care if you find 2 or 40 screenshots you want to submit--have fun with it!</p><p>Here's a picture I took as an example. Good luck! <a rel="nofollow" href="http://eq2.zam.com/wiki/EQII_Nights_of_the_Dead_Screenshot_Sweepstakes" target="_blank">http://eq2.zam.com/wiki/EQII_Nights...hot_Sweepstakes</a></p><p><img src="http://eq2.zam.com/Im/Image/225956.png" /></p>

<p>There's not quite FIVE HOURS left!  Any pictures submitted after my clock ticks midnight Pacific will not be tagged as part of the contest.  As I type this there's 111 in the gallery (and some more I have to approve and tag!). </p><p>This is not going to be easy, but it sure is being fun!  We plan on posting winners tomorrow sometime.</p>
