LOL tom thats funny shlt


as being an avid hc player i have some items i can contribute to the cause

msg me

up where this should be!

expecting rex to return from seeing family tonight/tomorrow, and will start up this when we are both in agreement on wording and first couple of sets

Hi all...

Welll just got back to town... woot...

Myself and Andy still need to converse about the mechanics to this idea. Please NOTE that the following is still under revisal:

How to obtain the giveaway prizes:
1. New Toon Hardcore ONLY (link to this character before commencing)
2. Must achieve Rank 1 in a Skill, weapon, cast or heal.
3. Choose the skill, weapon, cast or heal before commencing and post with your link.

What items would be given:
Upon reaching Rank 1 in what you have chosen, you will choose either:
Weapon Set
Armor Set
Charm Set (stat) or (cast) or (heal)

BONUS:
Even though you have accomplished Rank 1, you can also apply again for Rank 2 (same skill, wpn, cast or heal as before) and get another pack,
so, if you got ee weapons, and applied again, you can try for ee armor if there are some available... and yes, you can apply for a Rank 3. Note:
Rank 1 = 1000 prof points / Rank 2 = +2000 prof points / Rank 3 = +3000 prof points [total of 6,000 prof points: And no more than Rank 3,
and you can not apply for a different Skill, Wpn, Cast or Heal.

NOTE: These sets may NOT have MQ gear (lvls 45/50/55), but they will be good enough to start a new player out in a group.

Forum Gold: We have been donated upto 500fg to help with this Giveaway. I have thought of making 25fg packs to go with each rank & items.
Basically... if a newcomer managed to get to Rank 3 in that one skill or whatever, they would get 3 sets (1 wpn / 1 armor / 1 charms) and a grand total of 75fg.

imo remove getting ranks in skils from this competition.

getting rank 1 in fish is too fast and too easy and will not contribute into any HC expirience since you not even need to visit the cata with a chance of dying.
glyph mute and suff needs more effort, maybe just remove fishing

Thanks for that... maybe fishing can be removed... will look into that more... might test it out with no rod and see how fast.
We decided not to take the MQ approach as someone pointed out... "they need the gear to MQ with" and that made sense to me...

Another note... I would also like to thank those that are helping this cause.

This makes the FG total 1,500fg (1,200fg that I am holding & 300 that Andy is holding) which will go to Paparick when we finalise the details.

Thank you all again...

hopefully with a bigger fg pot it will also discourage people from just up and selling their gear sets as soon as they get them.

So true... hmmm... well... don't think many of the long term LS'ers would need to buy them, only some of the new people that want to continue.
We will see...



Okay... going to quote this as well and place it in the thread... this way
I can organise items with you, Andy and myself or any other people that
are going to do the same.

Thank you also.

Rex

i think you should set a mark to reach for lvls - like lvl 40-45, because you can learn skills and still be a low lvl char without playing to much the game, hope you get what i mean
got some medium gear that my guild doesn't use because we upgrade it a bit and will send you a pm today with what can we contribute

I know exactly what you are talking about... I got Rank10 in swords on SC without doing my first MQ.

If we apply levels, that means they have to try and obtain gear to help them get there, and they will slow down the prof gain.
Hence we are trying to let them get Ranks semi fast, get gear that can help them achieve those levels faster, and hopefully
play more in groups where they will be able to contribute to the groups effort.

In addition, let's say that there are four new members, they have accomplished ranks and have gear, and they team up in
a group... then they can enjoy the game a bit more... well that is the hope anyway...

Thank you for your input, it is appreciated and in no way am I disagree'ing with what you have said, it may
help us with some of the little things.

Regards
Rex

P.S. Try to build up gear for your group also, we know that you have a young guild, and maybe some of those members
of yours can join up (new members of course). Thanks for your offer of gear. You may find use for it...

a special prize can be added for the ones that reach a specific level - lets say 50fg ( it's just an example )
and yeah i mean after they gained proofs and got sets to help, have the option to make a partial climb for reaching close to another prize just an idea although
