World Treasure Scroll

TREASURE SCROLL

(or treasure map)

(or treasure compass)​

I got this idea from another server, altered it, and decided it to post it on the forums :)


USE: basically an item that when right-clicked, will “point” in a cardinal direction and saying how far it is (Super Close, Very Close, Close, Near, Far, Very Far, Super Far). A message will pop up in chat, something like: The scroll points North, distance Very Far. The player should have a cooldown of a couple of seconds, so the player doesn’t spam the treasure scroll. When the player reaches the coordinates the scroll was pointing to, a new scroll will be dug up, and the whole process repeats for a number of stages. Finally when the last stage is reached, a treasure chest will be dug up with rewards.


DETAILS: A treasure scroll can have a number of stages and a level associated with it. A treasure scroll with a higher number of stages and a higher level should have better final loot, and vice versa.

Examples: A Lv. 10 2 stage scroll would be focused around Detlas and the surrounding area

A Lv. 30 5 stage scroll would be focused around the whole Almuj desert and Rymek mesa.

A Lv. 90 (?) 9 stage scroll would be focused around the whole Corkus province, and probably parts of Gavel, too

OBTAIN: mob drops, quest reward, etc.

THINGS TO NOT MAKE IT SUPER BORING: Maybe we could have some "dangers" along the way, like a parkour course suddenly appears and you have to do it, or some mob steals the scroll and you have to hunt down the mob... so it doesn't become a boring fetch quest as @A Human said.

please comment if you think something would make it better or if you need clarification.

 

This sounds like a decent idea, however I think there should be more interesting designs to it than simply running around and finding scrolls, this way it’s basically a fetch quest. It could have some more fun elements to it to make it more, well, fun.

 

Quite true...
