The Ultimate Treasure Hunt Contest !

Post by vguerin »

The Ultimate Treasure Hunt !!!

On this treasure hunt you will be required to find some of the more obscure items in the lands. Non-craftable mats also have their own classes (plain, prime, magnificent, superb). You will be required to find (and give for proof and destruction) all of the items in the contest for the prize. There will be only one grand prize to the first Homin to find all 20 materials.

The Grand Prize !!!

A Q120 Top Quality Matis Pike for 21 of 21 Treasures Found !


2nd Place - A Q100 Top Quality Weapon of Choice
(3 winners - 18 of 21 treasures found)


3rd Place - Q100 Matis Modi Light Armor with +50 HP Bonus
(5 winners - 15 of 21 treasures found)










Rules:
1. Materials that are listed in different classes must be found in each class (quality). Materials that do not have more than one may be any quality to apply

2. Materials must be given up (to be destroyed) to receive any prize for completion, if you cash in for third place prize you will need a second series of materials to receive a second place prize or the grand prize. If you wait until you qualify for the grand/2nd prize you automatically recieve the lower prizes.

3. The Grand Prize winner will has the option of upgrading his 3rd prize to Heavy Armor by cashing in the 2nd prize weapon if a lower level weapon is not desired.

4. 2nd prize winners will also receive the third place prize which is not counted as a 3rd place winner, it is a bonus. There "may" be the ability to request different colors on the armor if available, if not the default is blue. All prizes may take up to 3 days to be made and transferred to the player by DoubleTap. Due to storage restrictions it may not be possible to have all the armor sets stored, but the Grand Prize will be is completed as displayed and will be available immediately. Depending on the length of time taken for someone to find all 20 treasures, a higher level weapon may be available. The Grand Prize will be comparable to the best weapon we can provide at the time of completion (currently Q120).

5. Due to the nature of this contest, there is no time limit... Finding these treasures will take time. As the prizes are awarded this thread will be updated...
This contest is solely the efforts of me, DoubleTap. All Melinoe members are able to compete in this contest and encouraged to find the treasures throughout Atys. When you meet any of the criteria for a prize send me a /tell in the game (or email to doubletap@twazz.net or send me a PM on the http://ryzom.twazz.net website) to arrange a turn in of your materials. If you are not in an area close by me, I ask for your patience as I death port/teleport around the world of Atys to link up. There will be only 1 Grand Prize winner and salute the winner in advance. I merely had to find random mission mats to make this contest workable, the GPW will have to find the specific materials I did which is more difficult.

I am waiting to hear from anyone to see if they are close, this is not an easy achievement.We are soon to be making Q130 so the pot will be even sweeter soon.

When I get to the point where I can get missions for the higher of these items, then I have no doubt I will find all of these. Till then I am not even looking :P


So far I have mapped out about 75% of the mission mats in one zone in Zora. This process took days to get to that point (maybe 8 hrs total) and I am still missing most of the ones I wanted to find.

Your list includes items from 3-4 zones. Without a bit of luck it would take a long time to find all those items and well .. the reward just isnt high enough to be worth the trouble at this time.


If you really wanted people to complete this, you should have stuck to prime and under.

The quality of the materials only matters on the mats listed with different classes. Otherwise you can have a plain item in leiu of a magnificent or whatever. That is explained I believe...

I think the idea of something like this is a good one, but you do realize that by the time a harvestor is capable of getting all 20 items (let alone FINDING them) they could have easily harvested enough mats to buy several q120 pikes or have 30+ q120 pikes made.

Just my opinion of course... :)

Getting them isnt hard since anyone can do that (all mission mats seem to be treated as basic by the system). Finding them is the hard part.

I'm not a hardcore player yet, still in the low end game relative to many on this board, so forgive my question -- What do you mean by "with different classes"? I don't see classes on the above items. I know I don't have a chance at getting the items, but I'm curious how little a chance I really have. ;)

classes - "plain" "prime" "superb" "magnificient" .. basicly this is like the "basic" "fine" "choice" (so on) you see on non-mission mats.

Help any?
