Theladin Report post Posted July 8, 2008 (edited) The Big Bag Race was such a huge success that I'm doing it again. This next one will be even bigger, with more prizes and much better chance for new players to win some goodies. All locations posted in the next race will be rated with 1 to 5 stars. This will give the racers an idea of the value and possible prizes in those bags. This way the uber players can avoid chasing after the bags that they don't care for and allow the new users a chance to get these items without a swarm of veteran players beating them to the prizes. Below I've listed the ratings with the kinds of prizes found with each one. This list will change and grow over time as we get close to race day but it gives you a bit of an idea how things will work. A limit on the number of prizes that a participant can find may also be placed on the race. So, if someone find 5 or maybe 10 bags then they have to drop out and give others a chance to win. I am also going to try to see if this can be done in one long race over a 24 hour period! I don't expect to hold this race for at least 2 months and hope that during that time we will receive a lot of donations in order to make this happen. Anyone who wants to donate to the race can contact me online. Gold is preferrable since it can be used to purchase the needed items or to use as a prize itself. If you're going to donate an item, try to make it something that is in the list below (many many more things will be added so check back often). If it's not in the list, that's ok, contact me and I'll see if it's something that should be added. * - 1 STAR Combat Starter Kit - Leather Helm - Augumented Leather Armor - Augumented Leather Pants - Leather Boots - Wooden Shield - Iron Sword Iron Chain Mail Fur Outfit - Fur Hat - Fur Torso - Fur Cloak - Fur Pants - Fur Boots - Fur Gloves 1,000 gc 2,000 gc Excavator Cape Bag of Medallions - 5 Unicorn Medallions - 5 Moon Medallions - 5 Star Medallions - 5 Sun Medallions Brown Tricorn Hat Black Tricorn Hat Blue Tricorn Hat Black Scarf Red Scarf Skull & Crossbones Scarf Bag of Scarves - Black Scarf - Red Scarf - Skull & Crossbones Scarf 10 Unicorn Medallions 10 Moon Medallions 10 Star Medallions 10 Sun Medallions Monster Magnetism Cloak Bag of Tools - 1 Ring Mold - 1 Medallion Mold - 1 Mortar & Pestle - 10 Pick Axes - 10 Leather Gloves 40 Potions of Minor Healing 20 Potions of Mana Bag of Potions - 30 Potions of Minor Healing - 10 Potions of Mana 100 Fire Essences 50 Health Essences 20 Rings of Isla Prima 20 Rings of VOTD 20 Rings of Desert Pines 20 Rings of White Stone Bag of Rings - 10 Rings of Isla Prima - 10 Rings of VOTD - 10 Rings of Desert Pines - 10 Rings of White Stone Range Bag - Short Bow - 50 Training Arrows ** - 2 STARS Basic Combat Kit - Iron Helm - Iron Chain Mail - Augumented Leather Pants - Leather Boots - Iron Shield - Steel Long Sword Steel Chain Main Iron Greaves Iron Cuisses Bag Of Hats - Brown Tricorn Hat - Black Tricorn Hat - Blue Tricorn Hat Brown Buccaneer Hat Black Bucaneer Hat Conjurer Cloak Fast Regeneration Cape Powersaving Cloak Cape of the Unbreakable Bag of Rings - 10 Rings of Isla Prima - 10 Rings of VOTD - 10 Rings of Desert Pines - 10 Rings of White Stone - 10 Rings of Naralik - 10 Rings of Portland 5,000 Gold Coins Bag of Medallions - 10 Unicorn Medallions - 10 Moon Medallions - 10 Star Medallions - 10 Sun Medallions Vial Mold Enriched Fire Essence Enriched Magic Essence Enriched Life Essence Bag of Tools - 1 Ring Mold - 1 Medallion Mold - 1 Mortar & Pestle - 10 Pick Axes - 10 Leather Gloves - 1 Gemstone Hammer & Chisel - 1 Hammer - Scissor Range Bag - Long Bow - 100 Training Arrows *** - 3 STARS Intermediate Combat Kit - Steel Helm - Sheel Chain Mail - Iron Greaves - Iron Cuisses - Steel Shield - Titanium Long Sword Steel Greaves Steel Cuisses Steel Plate Mail Titanium Chain Mail Mirror Cloak Body Piercing Cape Bag of Enriched Essences - Enriched Fire Essence - Enriched Life Essence - Enriched Magic Essence - Enriched Water Essence - Enriched Death Essence Titanium Serpent Sword Black Baggy Pants Brown Baggy Pants Black & Blue Striped Pants Black & Red Striped Pants Black & Purple Striped Pants Red Robe Shirt Black Robe Shirt White Robe Shirt Purple Robe Shirt Red Robe Skirt Black Robe Skirt White Robe Skirt Purple Robe Skirt 10,000 Gold Coins 15,000 Gold Coins Binding Stone Enrichment Stone Bag Of Stones - Binding Stone - Enrichment Stone - Serpent Stone Range Bag - Crossbow - 100 Training Bolts **** - 4 STARS Advanced Combat Kit - Titanium Helm - Titanium Chain Mail - Steel Greaves - Steel Cuisses - Titanium Shield - Titanium Serpent Sword Titanium Greaves Titanium Cuisses Titanium Plate Mail Emerald Claymore 20,000 Gold Coins 50,000 Gold Coins Rostogol Stone Bag Of Stones - Binding Stone - Enrichment Stone - Serpent Stone - Rostogol Stone Range Bag - Recurve Bow - 200 Training Arrows 50 Pking Arrows Full Red Robe Full Black Robe Full White Robe Full Purple Robe Clothes Bag - Black Tunic - Black Baggy Pants - Black Cavalier Peacock Hat ***** - 5 STARS Full Black Dragon Set Full Red Dragon Set No More Tears Cloak 100,000 Gold Coins Uber Combat Kit - Titanium Helm - Titanium Plate Mail - Titanium Greaves - Titanium Cuisses - Titanium Shield - Cutlass Wardrobe Bag - Black Robe Shirt - Black Robe Skirt - Black Cavalier Peacock Hat - Black Baggy Pants - Black Tunic - Black Buccaneer Hat - Black Tricorn Hat Edited July 8, 2008 by Theladin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cruella Report post Posted July 8, 2008 I think it would be great if you announce 5 locations simultaneously - ideally one of each star rating (if only enough high level items for 3-5 star bags are available). Next group of 5 should be announced when all 5 bags are claimed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Theladin Report post Posted July 8, 2008 There will be more instances of multiple bags announced at once. How many and how frequently will depend on the number of bags dropped for the contest. My goal is currently 1000 bags with a value of 10mil gc. If that happens then you'll see a lot of multi bag posts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigshock28 Report post Posted July 8, 2008 (edited) I think due to their current value that Monster Magnetism and body piercing should have their star ratings switched. I can see a few high levels beating the lower levels out trying to get the bag(s) with the MM cloak in them. Of course if the market changes in the 2 months, then it will be fine, but it's something to think about.

Evolution Report post Posted July 9, 2008 Great, i'd better stock up on the essences, and get some rings this time.. Also a Crown of mana, like levinmage But now, i like the idea but i doubt there's any chance at all of me getting a big prize.. Why not put a couple good prizes randomely in the lower * sections, that way newer players win big like the higher level players, not just leather pants lol. Sounds great though, can't wait.

Theladin Report post Posted July 9, 2008 BigShock, I'm still undecided about where to put the MM cloak. I put it in the 1 star section since new players are the ones who need it most and are most likely not to have one but I don't know yet. It could still be moved. Evolution, high level prizes will still be hidden in newbie friendly places. You could still find a 4 star prize on Isla Prima so your chance of getting it is just as good as anyone else. If I have high level prizes in with the low level ratings then high level players may try to go after those 1 star items in the hopes of getting a better prize so the rating really needs to reflect the prize in the bag.

Elveron Report post Posted July 9, 2008 And of course, the Black Rose could be in any category, yes? I'm looking forward to it, and hope that I've got the time off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Theladin Report post Posted September 16, 2008 It really was a great event and I'm glad so many people turned out. I will be posting the list of prize winners soon but it may be a couple days. I need a short break from everything to do with this race. 3 weeks to set it up drained me. In addition, I have friends visiting so my PC time is a bit limited but it will get done soon.
