Community Event The Explorer's Scavenger Giveaway - Over

THE EVENT HAS ENDED

Hello there!

I'm in a generous mood this week, and I'm willing to give away some of my cash. The maximum prize you can win is 32LE, enough to buy... I'm not even sure what. But I'm not really that generous, and you're going to have to work for this $$$. In order to win the money, you must win at a scavenger hunt! With the map being revamped soon, I feel like this would be appropriate.

Okay, I don't really think this qualifies as a giveaway.

Don't worry, this won't involve sixty players crowded into the same server.

How this works:
In 12 Hours, I will post five pictures of slightly obscure wynncraft locations (such as a cave with a loot chest). You will have to identify them to earn points. 2 or so days later, I will post 5 new pictures and it continues from there. There will be 6 rounds total, and whoever has the most points at the end of the event wins.

Post answers here or PM me them.

Describe the location by replying (In less than 5 words), and you will earn 1 point.
Post a detailed reply about where the screenshot is (In 5 or more words) and you will earn 2 points.
Post a screenshot of you at the location, and you will earn 3 points. (Do not include coordinates unless you want other people to leech off your findings!)

If you post a screenshot and a short description, you will earn 3 points, NOT 4.

Spoiler: Example in case anybody needs one

I post a picture of the Deltas Hourglass (A location I would use in the event would not be as obvious)

Player1 says "This is Detlas" and earns 1 point.
Player2 posts https://map.wynncraft.com/#/488/64/-1605/max/0/0 and earns 2 points.
Player 3 replies with "This the Deltas Hourglass building where the identifier is" and earns 3 points.
Player4 posts a screenshot of himself at the hourglass and earns 4 points.

As the giveaway progresses, you can earn more points and the locations will be harder to find.

What are the prizes?:
1st place: 32LE + An Excellent Third Eye
2nd place: 30LE
3rd place: 16LE + A Mediocre Memento and Gemini
4th place: 16LE
5th place: 8LE
6th place: 1 Tier 5 Powder of each type + A minor sense of a accomplishment
All lower places: The journey is the reward!

Hints:
- None of the locations will be from Corkus, since it is brand new and freshly explored.
- There will be some locations from Quests (All quests will be below level 70)
- There may or may not be some "offmap" locations (See above)

Questions:
- Feel free to ask any questions in the comments!

News:
8/15 - Changed some stuff with the points around, removed the coordinates option.
8/23 - Increased the second place prize (24LE -> 30LE)


Results:
1st - Putrid > 64 (Collected Prize)
2nd - CookedPelvis > 50 (Collected Prize)
3rd - bloww > 48 (Collected Prize)
4th* - AdrianOkanata > 48
5th - CRE2525 > 47 (Collected Prize)
6th - RaveTail > 26

 

It's Detlas* just btw awesome event though!

 

Make it so that you can only get 1 of the point rewards

 

Edited! Yeah, that was my intent, but I guess it wasn't too clear.

 

Sounds fun :)

Also, should we pm you our answers so others can't cheat by looking at previous identifications?

 

Either, you can post them here or PM me them if you want. I won't reveal if an answer is correct until the round is over.

 

But what happens if someone writes "That's Detlas' Hourglass"
Is he the "Winner" of the picture in the round x ?
Or could I get another 4 points if I post a screenshot of mine in front of it?

 

Multiple people can earn points in a round.

If player1 wrote "That's Deltas' Hourglass", he would earn 1 point
If you posted a screenshot, you would earn 4 points, putting you above him on the point leaderboard. Assuming no one else participated, you would get 1st place and player1 would get 2nd place.

 

Okay

I hope this doesn't mean that initially someone has to find the location, describe it, and everybody after that can just write "Thats [same thing as written above]" ?

 

Possibly. I'm assuming some people will just suggest a few locations and maybe a false bandwagon will become a thing, but its unlikely.

Come to think of it, its probably best if I remove the coordinate option to begin with, it will probably become problematic, and some locations are off the map anyway.

 

ROUND 1 HAS STARTED

You have 24 36 hours to identify these locations.

I also changed the point system a bit earlier today, you can no longer post coords now, and I encourage you not to include them in your screenshots.

Describe the location by replying (In less than 5 words), and you will earn 1 point.
Post a detailed reply about where the screenshot is (In 5 or more words) and you will earn 2 points.
Post a screenshot of you at the location, and you will earn 3 points. (Do not include coordinates unless you want other people to leech off your findings!)

 

1. Savannah area, entrance to a small underground catacombs. Below a stone structure.

3. Nesaak cliffs, to the right of the big statues that guard The Great Bridge.

I think it is on the lower quadrant of the mesa area

(This is a small side note, do you think that you can post small hints?(what province a few of them are in, riddles, enemy's you might find there)if not, that's ok. Had fun searching for these the old fashioned way anyway)

I'm extending the end of Round 1 by another 13.5 hours, since I feel like 24 hours might not be enough for each round.

 

Warning: these images have coordinates, don't look if you want to find these places yourself. I can remove them if it is against the rules, not sure if you care or not.

Is it ok to edit your post after you've sent it? Or would that be against the rules?

 

Yes, you can edit it.
