FIXED Can't Turn In Punch Cards In Exodus

[endymion107]

Killed stuff in Exodus, got a Mechanical Component placed into backpack, turned it into an Exotic Toolkit which allows you to do puzzles on the dead nexus crystal things lying in the hallways to receive punch cards. If you get 50 punch cards you are supposed to be able to slot them into a Keypunch Reader near the entrance to get a fancy deco deed. Did all of this but when it came time to dump the 50 cards into the box it just refused to accept any, stating a lack of rights to the container.

I don't know if the bug here is that the box won't take the cards or that the component dropped when it wasn't supposed to due to being linked to an event. I can't find information on whether any of the above are obtainable/doable on normal shards or not.
Unfortunately both the toolkit and the punch cards have very limited lifespans as well. Mine will evaporate shortly.

This may actually be from an older, one-time event, on EA. Can you still get that deco piece today? You very well may not be able to.

I wouldn't think so, which would be sad as running around doing those puzzles with all the Exodus mobs swarming you made the dungeon interesting to me. It is very difficult to find information on this as it seems few people were (or are?) willing to bother doing the puzzles for the reward and possibly no one documented it outside uoguide or that Lord Gareth post. I'd assume it wouldn't be so hard to find for something related to Exodus drops if it was still obtainable though, considering the value of doing the ritual to summon him and all.

There is a small Q&A chunk here from 2016 (event was 2012) mentioning the Nexus Deed, but it is rather vague in that it asks for an "additional" way to obtain the deed with a reply that it will be made to drop from Exodus in the future, which could refer to either the boss or the dungeon I imagine and may or may not have been changed.

On a real cash for items website the Nexus Deed is only three dollars which seems low to me if it is impossible to obtain after 8 years. Unfortunately they have no description at all to confirm the item's possible exclusivity which would seem like an important detail to mention if it was. Maybe they don't even know.

A Nexus Deed was handed out in an event once in 2018 among several other valuable items but nothing particularly exclusive to my eyes.

So I've found very little information and nothing I've found is particularly concrete. Even a google search for nothing more than "Nexus Deed" in quotes resulted in only six pages for me with half of them being in a language other than English and a lot of the UO related results are just a deed being thrown in among dozens of other items being sold in a forum post.
