Question About Shinies In Unrest

[liveja]

<p>Last night, I did Unrest with a group of friends from another guild. This was the second time I've done Unrest with them. On the first time, they told me, "Shinies BAD!" Last night, I saw a shiney in the graveyard, & I yelled out "SHINEY!!!!", & one of them said, "Flaye, bro, you know shinies in here are no-touch, right?", & I said, "Yea", because I didn't want to sound like an unknowing cluelesss n00b.</p><p>Sadly, tho, I have no idea what they're talking about ... the first time I was in Unrest, I picked up a shiny, no trouble ... sooooo what gives? Why are people telling me to stay away from them??? I WANT MY SHINIES!!!!!!!!!!!</p><p>/cry</p>

  Only did this zone once, first try with my illusionist.  I would have to vote stay away from shinies next time I go in.  We were /random 100 for right to harvest the shinies, and it seemed like 50% of the time it ended in chaos if not total party wipage.  Other than the bogus shinies tho, very awesome zone!

Harvest them, when your group is finished with the zone... if the shiny is a trap, thats your problem <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />
