The Farmer's Journey, Part 2: The Book of Aradmel

Discussion in 'Past Announcements' started by [ATA]Grant, Jun 25, 2015.

  1. Need top 500 back pls

    She had been following the road through the desert with the Mage for two full days now, and by this time all that was visible from horizon to horizon was sand. From what he had told her, it would be at least two more nights before the road would bring them out of the desert to the next leg of their pilgrimage.

    Although they were adequately provisioned for the desert crossing, the acolyte ate and drank as sparingly as she could, in case they needed their supplies to last. Moreover, she had wanted a glimpse into tribulations experienced by the Farmer during his years crisscrossing the desert with the Aradmel tribe.

    However, she was unused to such deprivations, and her thirst had already carved lines into her dry lips. She knew their horses would be comfortable and well-fed, the Mage’s magic saw to that. As for the Mage himself, she had yet to see him eat or drink.

    Next to the acolyte, the small twig fire she had built was softly crackling. The mounts were tied to a tenacious zaera bush that was clinging on to the edge of the outcrop.

    In the near distance was the desert road, where the Mage was in conversation with a mounted man in fawn-colored robes, out of earshot of the acolyte, who was looking on with curiosity. After a time, the rider loosened a large cloth-covered package that had been fastened to his horse behind him and handed it to the Mage, who in turn handed the man a handful of gold.

    After this transaction, the rider nodded to the Mage and rode away at a canter. The Mage then returned to their encampment with his new parcel.

    He sat down opposite the Acolyte in front of the little fire and carefully placed the mysterious package down onto the stone floor next to him without a word.

    The acolyte, who had completely forgotten her hunger and thirst in her curiosity, was about to ask about the Mage’s purchase, when suddenly he spoke:

    “Do you recall,” he said, “our conversation from this morning regarding the Book of Aradmel?”

    “Y-yes…” replied the acolyte, caught off-balance by the sudden questioning.

    “You mentioned that you were frustrated by the lack of writings chronicling the Farmer’s years in the desert,” said the Mage, turning to the cloth-bound package and reaching a hand inside.

    “Yes, and you mentioned that new scrolls from that era had been found and were being transcribed by…” she cut herself off with a shocked gasp that startled the horses as the Mage drew a new-looking scroll out of the package. “Is THAT…?” she asked breathlessly.

    “Mm,” replied the Mage. “My merchant friend back there brought me one of the first copies of the new readings. The translation is still a bit spotty in places, and much has been left out while scholars verify the authenticity of the statements, but I believe you will learn much.”

    He handed the scroll around the fire to the acolyte, who was trembling with excitement. “The scrolls are mainly the writings of an unnamed Aradmeli chronicler during the time of the Farmer. Perhaps you could read some of it to me now…”

    Mayoa Fountain



    As you complete Epic Battles from now and the end of the event on July 9th at 12PM PDT you'll earn Night, Sky, Desert, and Fire Zaeras. When you collect all four of these items they'll form a Mayoa Fountain which determine your rewards at the end of the event.

    As you win wars you'll earn completed Mayoa Fountains

    Weekend PvP Blitz



    During the weekends of June 26 - June 28 and July 3 - July 6 we'll be hosting PvP Blitz events in a addition to the main event. During these Blitz events you'll collect and steal Dunesteed Bridle items from players in order to earn bundles of Mayoa Fountain to help you with your progress in the main event. We're bringing back the safety nets of previous PvP events, and so every time you collect 500 Dunesteed Bridle's they'll be converted into a Dunesteed Saddle which cannot be stolen.

    Rewards for these PvP Blitz Weekend events are based on the number of Dunesteed Saddles you own.

    PvP Blitz Opt-In



    To Opt-In to the event, players will need to cast the Besmoa Oils spell at the Alchemist. NOTE: Besmoa Oils will only be available to cast once the weekend event has started.

    Warning: Opting-in lasts for the ENTIRE DURATION of that specific BLITZ EVENT and there will be no way to opt-out after doing so.

    Opted in players will:
    • Have their name colored orange to indicate their participation
    • Have a spell indicating their participation on their profile
    • Have their Battle List updated to show only players who have opted-in

    Dunesteed Bridles + Saddles



    Once opted-in, players will earn Dunesteed Bridle by attacking other opted-in players. These items are both generated AND ARE STOLEN. The number generated depends on the players size. The number stolen depends on the amount of Dunesteed Bridle they currently have. The higher the number they have the more you'll steal.

    Once a player collects 500 Dunesteed Bridle they'll automatically turn into a Dunesteed Saddle which cannot be stolen. These Dunesteed Saddles are what will determine your rewards from the PvP Blitz Weekend events.

    Dabroa Scimitar



    When you hit another opted-in player there's a chance that the Dabroa Scimitar spell is activated. This spell lasts for 24 hours, and has the following properties:
    • Provides you with more plunder when attacking or stealing from opted-in players
    • Allows you to obtain more Dunesteed Bridle items when attacking or stealing from opted-in players
    • Provides you with a chance of creating Mithril out of thin air when attacking or stealing from opted-in players
    • Will be visible on your profile as an active spell
    • CAN BE STOLEN when you are attacked or stolen from by opted-in players. If stolen you will lose the spell, and the attacking player will receive it. Duration is not reset when stolen but continues to count down from where it was for the previous owner.

    Note: You cannot steal another player's Dabroa Scimitar spell when you have an active Dabroa Scimitar spell yourself.

    Nomad Starchart



    Nomad Starchart may be purchased in the Marketplace for 59 Nobility Points and casts the Shepherd Starlight spell on ALL of your current clan members. If you already have Shepherd Starlight active you will not be able to purchase it until the current spell expires.

    This spell lasts for 1 hour and has the following properties:
    • Provides you with more plunder when attacking or stealing from opted-in players
      (This is able to stack with the Dabroa Scimitar spell)
    • Allows you to earn more Dunesteed Bridles when attacking or stealing from opted-in players
      (This is able to stack with the Dabroa Scimitar spell)
    • Prevents other players from being able to steal your Dabroa Scimitar spell while Shepherd Starlight is active
    • Will be visible on your profile as an active spell

  3. The events are too close together calm it down devs
     
  4. I like the event but why does it have to be 4 things made into 1
     
  5. It promotes hte
     
  6. Ahh my payday is on the 10th so not getting decent rewards this event
     
  7. Lmfso comments like this sum up kaw
     
  8. Stop reporting the garbage story I'm sick if seeing it!
     
  9. Like the idea but I DONT WANT THE 4 ITEMS. Please just have one item that is needed and make it drop from every be because this is really annoying. And maby stop HTE from giving extra rewards because that just makes the people that can afford to pay lots of money get more than the less wealthy people. Please try and make these changes for the next event that would be great Thanks though Love the game!!!!
     
  10. Do you have an ebook of this? It 's so interesting
     
  11. The story isn't even finished yet, lol
     
  12. Next Event Devs stop being greedy and make another awards bracket top 500. The award brackets now to spread out just my opinion.
     
  13. Personally I think this was one of their better reward set ups.
    Oh and note: it only took 1 item to make an egg.
     
  14. I want get new banner give me please..
     
  15. If you do separate rewards for top 10 you reslly should include a better reward for #1 overall. Like double top 10 make it worth going for it.
     
  16. Devs should work on drops again as it still seems unfair to me. There is a big gap between att builds and hansels, no matter actions. Please fix this for future promo and set reg achievements acording to possible activity, not just to money spent. I can understand that to be top 100 and up u need to spend money, but for example 5.000 goal should be possible to achieve just been very active, and it doesnt seem possible even with the PvP "blitz". Please fix that. Not only direct money players make this game big ;)
     

  17. I support!!
     
  18.  
  19. The only reason i actually care about this event is for the story, so post more.
