Dang, I missed the 5 day mark for this totally different idea for a competition.

This is totally pure LUCK... doesn't matter if you have gear or just a beginner.

Basic idea is completing a Catacomb (easy enough) Now, the Goal is that you have to have one(1) of each of these appear in that same catacomb:

"There is an enigmatic emblem in this room"
"You stumble upon a treasure chest"
"A warm light heals you and your party"
"The room flashes and you find yourself in new surroundings"
"You stumble on a Well?" ... haven't found one in ages, forgot the actual wording sorry.
"You have fallen down a trapdoor"

Now... I was going to say that these only applies in the "First" layer of the catacomb, making the Trapdoor the LAST one to activate to win. Others may feel that falling in a TD beforehand counts, I am undecided.

However, I think this is a totally different and fair idea for a comp.

EDIT: Okay... maybe a prize for a Group and a prize for a Solo'er... of course Solo'er would use either a Rogue (being a beginner) or a Monk or Ninja for geared people. Might actually be pretty fast to complete really.

In short it's almost certainly prof again as the main theme over Dec 1st through until Dec 23. Gives me a day to then tally out results then send out rewards on 25th.

However, i'm also looking to do a 1-2 day event for item finding.
How well i'll be able to monitor people who try and reroll items time will tell, but seeing this time i'm probably either doing a raffle style prize or top 10, the reward for winning wont even remotely cover the cost of the essences.


If you have any comments on the above, you've got about a day or two to say them, don't worry about any cheats, i've got a reasonable plan of action for that.
Just interested in how long would you like it to go on for? 2 days is an absolute maximum and ideally a weekend. anything under 24 hours seems too little time. But i'm undecided at the moment on how long. One of the rules is likely to be you can only use 1 character for the duration of the event. which makes me think 24 hours is the correct amount so people can go back to do other things.

This is also last chance to post on a preferred reward system. As mentioned either top 10 or a raffle of 3 larger prizes, but getting a better rank only increases your odds of winning.



I will make the post within the next 5 days or so on how to enter and rules


Just decided to catch up on this thread so sorry for the late reply!

Instead of running something that people can cheat at by rolling or welling an absurd amount of items during a short window, wouldn’t it be better to run it for 23 days and allow everything the game has to offer? Sure, anyone who has a lot of essences to roll will have an advantage and there is no way around that. I think that having more time for people to get drops during different events will increase the chance that it goes to someone random. I mean, even if I have a ton of essences in stock, it’s nothing compared to what the community can find over 23 days :P

Could even run some side quests like “find the item with the most overspawn stats” on top of finding useful stuff. Everyone can find and mute T1 items, go nuts!
