It requires you to climb Parradamo Tor in about a minute or less, which doesn't seem possible. Is this intentional? The miasma clouds blocking your path seem guaranteed to make your climb take about 2 minutes or more.

This item seems like a trap to catch hackers using speed, noclip, or position modification. Why else would an item be in the game that is impossible to get via legitimate means?

LOL - glad you found another impossible to do without cheat thing in the game. It boggles mind sometimes - all the crap they put in this game... "barance" I suppose. I think its more a sick twisted mind of the developers.

There's actually 1 spot where the ??? can pop, and if 1 certain miasma cloud is down while it's there, and you have mazurka, and a few powder boots, you can legitimately get it.

Nexus Cape? Not sure if zoning breaks the timer, though.

Yes, you can use the nexus cape and warp to the top of the mountain if the party leader it there, but the mimeo stone shatters.

As Cat-Ninja said, There is 1 Legitimate way to get it. It requires an insane amount of luck and effort, Including Flee Boots and Mazurka, But possible. Very very unlikely, and almost certainly put in the game as a flag, But still obtainable without cheating. As far as i know anyway.

Darn thing should turn into a winning Bonanza Marble with how hard it is to get.

many things in CoP changed with Gamedays and Times, I was heard many times that some of the miasma would be down only during fullmoons and Light days, and if you hit them during the right time when both sets were down you could run up the Tor very quickly. instead of using the long way.

It would be nice if they made the item actually worth it.
