Hi everyone!
So, due to the lifting of the item level cap, I'd like to help out roleplayers with their equipment. Usually I offer things for free, but I know that some people are too shy to ask or prefer to work for and earn what they get, so here's something that might get people involved. I've been writing some stories that Caerbannog "heard" from landers, and they are the back-stories for the items that she creates for herself. To follow are the links and the questions for them. Basically, you answer the questions about the story, send them in and you get "tokens" in return. Those tokens can then be used to "purchase" something from this thread.
Restrictions:
- One character per RPer: Only one character may send answers and receive the tokens. If I find out that you're cheating, I will be very sad QnQ
- Tokens are non-transferable: The character that sends the answers in will be the one to receive and use the tokens.
- Metal Items Only: I will speedcraft these items using my blacksmith crafting class. Thus, I can only make metal items. Items are exchanged "per piece", thus a "dual-blade" with two individual blades will be exchanged for x2 tokens. Multiple items such as bolts or throwing needles count as one item only.
Sending your answers (via Private Message only!):
You can send in the answers to any tale in any combination.
I will reply with the TOTAL number of tokens that you will receive, but I will not state if the answers are correct/incorrect.
