So as some of you may remember, i ran a competition 2 years ago where around 8500 fg was sent to people who participated.

This can be seen here:

Fg sent out:



The competition back then was to make as much proficiency as possible, divided into skilling and battling profs as well as a participation reward
I wouldn't necessarily be against doing proficiency again, as it's very new player friendly as literally anyone can gather prof.
However i wish to open it up for discussion of what you'd like to see.
Again i'd like to run the competition between Dec 1 to Dec 24th and prizes to be divvied on Christmas Day.
I have various ideas but i'll keep them to myself for the time being.



Please keep discussion positive, rather than point out flaws in an idea, suggest ways which can make it work or avoid commenting on it.

NR1 is going to win again if you did the proficiency contest again, because he plays the most. I think the contest should have some luck mixed in. For example, who finds the highest EE item during a week period, then who finds the biggest stat item during the next week period, etc. Must be from monster drops. just a thought. Yeah, still not quite fair since it would heavily favor those who have the best magic luck gear. Still, would be better than having the contest be based on who clicks the most.

prof is awesome

well NR1 didn't even get the most prof during the event

Theoretically, i could run a ticket system, so instead of the winner immediately getting the biggest prize, but to get the most chances to win the prize.
I.e 30 people enter, 1st place gets 30 tickets, 2nd place gets 29 tickets etc 30th place gets 1 ticket.
Run a RNG/Lottery to then decide who gets the winnings.
This is one way RNG could be added to the prof contest whilst still favouring those who spend the most time playing, as that's in general the point here, to reward being active.
Even last place would still have a 1 in 465 chance of taking the winnings in this case.


In terms of the drops one, it's interesting but I can't figure out a way to prevent mutes being a factor. There is no way of differentiating a fresh drop to a very recent drop which was then rerolled.
The only way i can think of making it work would be to "force" screen recording and then check the footage of the winners to ensure no cheating took place.
I'm not against having a "best drop" being a category, but i think some anti cheating thinking needs doing on it.


Thanks for the comment, if enough people want a "best drop" i can attempt to find some way of working it in. Although currently the only way of verifying is video evidence of it being a drop. Screenshots of the drop could be modified so i dont think a screenshot of a drop would be adequate either.
If you have any thoughts of making it more cheater proof i'll consider the idea more.

Don't let this thing play!

^ This is actually a pretty cool idea, I dig it.

Any further derogatory comments here will lead me to disqualify you and your guild. As stated, if you have nothing positive to say, don't say it.
At the moment he's put the only legitimate idea forward and has been positive in this topic.


Please keep suggestions/ideas coming, even the obvious ones.

Sorry. I was copy and pasting what he said about me
And mods told me it wasn't derogatory.

Either way I think you just do a pass rate.
Like something along the lines of who ever gets monk with the least fails. Something kind of fun to push newer players into other classes.

I liked the last one, maybe a random stat prize?
Like first to find a + 6 jubilance weapon
Or 6 ml armor
Some random stat that would make people look for items
Would also donate
