At this point in the game, I don't really have much to do. So I figure, why not make a hunt system kind of like FF12s to get people to try out random stuff and win some cool prizes. The challenges vary from D-tier to S-tier, and their rewards increase as such. They can vary from anything like "bring me x item" to "own these x, y, z item" or "kill x monster."
/tell Ramzus or Rawinput (both are me) to let me know you've finished a challenge and we can arrange a meeting. Please be patient if I'm in the middle of doing something.
Rules:
1. Only one winner per challenge
2. One person can win multiple challenges
3. First person to show me proof in game wins. If I'm not on/afk at the time you message me, I'll contact you when I'm back. If you're not online at the time I respond to you, I'll go to the next person on the list (assuming multiple completions.)
4. If a challenge expires, I may be willing to offer a fraction of the reward prize if you submit a late completion depending on the nature of the challenge (see: 50/50 salvage armor).
5. Challenge expiration is dependent on the difficulty, the easier it is, the faster it expires.
6. Once a challenge is completed, a new one will appear in its place after a certain period of time, which is as follows:
D, C Tier: Immediately
B: 3 days later
A: 1 week later
S: 3 weeks later
Regarding Kill challenges
NM kills will follow the following format:
Restrictions - Certain restrictions will be placed here, i.e. no temps/no meds/no certain job/sub job
Time Limit - pretty self-explanatory, there will either be a certain time limit to kill the monster, or you'll have all the time in the world (don't expect that to happen often)
Formal Attempts - Max # of attempts you can try it with me watching the fight. This means you can dry run as many as you want in your free time, it won't affect the challenge. But, if you blow it on the formal attempt, sux2bu lol!!
Other rules: Absolutely no outside buffs before an attempt, I will be in a party with you prior to fighting it to make sure you don't self buff, this includes anything from protect to bard songs. Also, if someone outside cures you during the attempt, you're disqualified, so you better use /blockaid. Oh yeah, and don't flee hack/pos, asshole.
