Scheduled for Saturday,  July 4th (the date is not my fault, lol) starting at approximately 13:00 ST:

 

SPOILER TO AVOID MY LONG DIATRIBE:

 

1. Read “WHAT?” to get the basic idea.

 

2. Summary on “HOW TO PARTICIPATE”: You provide the “ingredients” (could be the recipe itself, items or components) and that should be via ST.

 

3. “WHY?” and “WHAT DO I NEED?” can be skipped entirely.

 

4. “PVP REWARDS” is simply a list of things (with links) that you can make with the tokens I’m offering for free. Keep in mind that there are other ingredients that you will have to provide in order to take advantage.

 

5. At the very end is a list of recipes (which may be incomplete) that I currently have so you don’t have to buy them.

 

6. ARENA TOKENS: Actually this is post #3 in this thread. It's a list of recipes that include items bought with them. Thanks out to Woopydoo for offering some of his. 

 

All that said… to the point:

 

WHAT?

 

I will be using an Omacaz pot (kindly donated to the FS community cause for “free” by cajunb4) that includes Inventor I and II at level 500 and, as many of you may know, saves a lot of the “ingredients” when inventing.

 

This is my second run and I’m hoping to help the FS Community more on this round. Like my first shot, and unlike some others who merely offered to invent with the intention of profiting from the ingredients saved thanks to the Inventor II portion of the potion, I offer all of FS to reap the profits.

 

In simple terms, these means that I’m offering up the benefits of the potion to each and every person that wants to invent ITEMS using it. You send the ingredients and I invent the item and then either A) send you the item back plus what was saved thanks to the Inventor II or B) I continue to invent until ingredients run out.

 

PLEASE NOTE: This event is directed towards those who wish to invent ITEMS. I will consider making potions as well, but they will be the lowest priority.

 

WHAT DO I OFFER?

 

On my side, I’m simply offering my time to do the inventing and this time around cajunb4 was kind enough to offer the potion to get the job done.

 

Beyond that, I’m also offering all of my PvP Ladder tokens free of charge (more productive info on that later).

 

And finally, any recipe I already have for making items is obviously on the house.

 

HOW TO PARTICIPATE:

 

Again, this is focused on the creation of ITEMS (pots are extremely low priority for me. I’m not at all opposed, but they will be the absolute last thing I deal with if demand for items allows me the time). A list of the recipes I currently have to create items will follow. If I do not have the recipe, it will have to be sent to me.

 

In that light, I can’t emphasize enough the importance of the community spirit in this sense. Post in this thread what you are looking to make. Work together. If four of you want to make the same thing, then the recipe cost could be split. Collude and conquer.

 

In any case, do NOT blindly buy the recipe and send. This is inefficient.

 

You are responsible for providing the recipe if I don't have it and ALL of the ingredients necessary in the recipe to make whatever it is that you want (PvP ladder tokens that I’m donating aside).

 

Again, I will continue to create as many as you request and then send back the things saved or until your ingredients run out and then send back any leftovers.

 

Due to bp space and demand, you should only ST me those ingredients (for one gold, obviously). As the event gets closer, I will be able to organize better.

 

The last time I did this, the major issue was those ingredients that were resources (speaking of which, a special thank you out to JayLee on that first run for donating to up my component spots).

 

KEEP IN MIND: for those items requiring resources, that you definitely want to “overprovide”. I cannot control either extraction success or what gets extracted. Again… talk here or with people in FS to organize for your own benefit.

 

In my first run, players took advantage in some cases and farmed components as I invented in order to fill in the gaps. I make no promises whatsoever on being able to deal with that. I’ll make what I have for everyone requesting and then move on that possibility.

 

WHY?

 

For me, it’s fun. It adds excitement to the game and proves that the FS Community is willing to do things that are “good” for everybody. It’s a way to bind together and lower costs for all those who wish to invent things.

 

When I did this the first time, I bought the Omacaz pot myself and was focused personally on making Dragon Draped Sabatons and some Angel sets. It took several months to get the armor necessary for the Sabatons and during that time, I realized that, while very worthwhile for me and my guildies, I might as well share that Omacaz pot with others.

 

I had lots of fun helping others in this regard. It just made sense to me. Now this time, I’m not so well prepared. I’m hoping to have at least one Elemental Shield Blank by the time this goes down. But I saw cajun’s FSBox offering a free pot and approached him. He was “convinced” (well, at least enough to give the pot to me free of charge) and so it became even less about me than it was about fostering a tiny bit of that FS Community spirit.

 

What I would hope is simply that this is useful, in whatever way, to “someone” and that, in turn, they would also help someone. And, it may well be, that few of you find this offer useful in and of itself. But perhaps… perhaps… someone will find the intention of all of this to be “noble” and will be inspired to create their own game within the game to offer “something” to the FS community. It’s in your hands.

 

WHAT DO I NEED?

 

#1 and absolutely most important: I need people to read carefully. Feel free to pm me in game with any questions, though it would be more productive if you simply asked your question in this thread… hint, hint, lol.

 

#2: Spread the word. Tell your Guildies and allies. Work together to make this the best it can be for you and yours. Advertise in your bio if you have the space. Boxes cost FSP and I’ll do that on occasion… feel free, but don’t feel obligated.

 

#3: As far as I’m concerned, nothing. Again, I can’t thank cajunb4 enough for the disinterested donation of the inventing pot that makes it all possible.

 

While writing this up, I realized that I don’t have any extraction pots. I don’t actually need them for myself, but since others may want things that require resources… well, “might be handy”. Please do NOT send over though. Post here in the thread or pm me in game. I’ll try and give you credit here. I just don’t want to have 50 million pots I don’t need, lol.

 

IF demand is high, I might try to go a second day or extend the party. For that, I’d need a second Omacaz pot, but let’s not jump the gun. It lasts 60 minutes and I plan on using a Brewers Art (hmmm, come to think of it, I’d take one of those if somebody is generous, lmao). I did do the calc on Brew Master 175 and that means 113 minutes. Never done the calcs with the Brew M 300 (and I’ll probably Zombie Brew that) and don’t remember from the first time. Assuming three hours?

Beyond that, I really don’t want to degrade this with the “me, me”.

 

“PVP REWARDS” AND WHAT THEY CAN BE USED FOR:

 

UPDATED: These are the tokens that a player can get from participating in the PvP ladder. These tokens are non-transferrable and currently buy things (that are bound and need to be extracted) that are then used to make certain items. According to HCS commentary in the FS Forum, the PvP Ladder will cease to exist whenever HCS implements the new PvP system. Furthermore, after the new PvP begins, HCS has indicated they "can still be used on the old stuff for a period of time before they're removed". Thanks out to Pardoux for providing the last bit of extra info.

 

At this point, you absolutely 100% need them for use in the following recipes:

 

Recipe of Angel Relief Shield:  I have this recipe.

Recipe of Angel Wings Helm:  I have this recipe.

Recipe of Glacial Ice Gauntlets:                      

Recipe of Glacial Ice Hammer

Recipe of Helhearts Crystallized Rune: I have this recipe.

Recipe of Helhearts Rictus Helm:  I have this recipe.

Recipe of Crystal Pyramid Rune: I have this recipe.

Recipe of Elaborate Crystal Breastplate: I have this recipe.

Recipe of Agiads Breastplate:                                   

Recipe of Agiads Crested Helm:                     

Recipe of Augilts Boots

Recipe of Augilts Ring:                       

Recipe of Carcharodon Cuirass:                       

Recipe of Carcharodon Helm:                                              

Recipe of Deep Sea Snake Loop:            

Recipe of Deep Sea Nautilus Rune:           

Recipe of Golden Gladiator Helm:            

Recipe of Golden Gladiator Rune

Recipe of Nuryns Gemmed Amulet:                        

Recipe of Nuryns Gemmed Gloves:                        

Recipe of Sekhs Armor

Recipe of Sekhs Shield:                      

Recipe of Xiphos Amulet:  I have this recipe. Thanks out to whozk.                 

Recipe of Xiphos Blade: I have this recipe. Thanks out to whozk. 

Flail of the Colossus Recipe

Recipe of Corvis Helm: I have this recipe.

Recipe of Corvis Plate: I have this recipe.

Recipe of Dragon Draped Sabatons: I have this recipe.                                 

Recipe of Odhars Gloves:           

Recipe of Odhars Rune:                                                            

Recipe of Sir Gwans Ring:                       

Recipe of Sir Gwans Shield:                         

 

OTHER RECIPES CURRENTLY AVAILABLE:

 

Keep in mind that this is just what I have at the moment. Post what you want to make here in the thread and collude to reduce costs; do NOT send me recipes like crazy. No sense in spending gold mindlessly… well, it is good for the game, but still, lol.

 

Above all, AFTER CHECKING THIS LIST and before purchasing the recipe, please pm me in game with the recipe name. There “could” be something I missed.

 

I do not “think” that I will run around picking up recipes either. That’s on you.

 

Unlike the PvP tokens list above, I’m not providing links to the recipes I have below. The reason I did it with the tokens is because I’m well aware that people don’t necessarily know how those sets are made.

 

To the contrary , here, I suspect that people are looking to make something specific and are simply referencing to see if I have the recipe already or not.

 

I will “attempt” to update this list depending on what happens. In any case, it’s not much, but here goes:

 

Elemental Blazing Shield.

Elemental Terra Shield.

Dragon Draped Sabatons.

Tribal set.

Ormarrs set.

Helheart set.

Crystal (elaborate breastplate and pyramid rune) set.

Angel Regalia set.

Corvis set.

Horror Horse set.

Voodoo Demon set.

Wyvern set.

Bothild Battle Boots.

Soul (mask/robe) set.

Vexus set.

Minos Hammer.

Deathspinner set.

Bulltoise set.

Ivar set.

Gideon set.

Noland set.

Xiphos set. 

Averills set.

 

EDIT: Added #6 in the Spoiler section to point out "arena token recipes" in post #3 of this thread.

EDIT II: Added in some sets available thanks to recipes popped over.

EDIT III: Added in some info on what HCS has suggested will happen to PvP Ladder tokens when the Ladder is removed from FS. Thanks out to Pardoux for the info.

EDIT IV(?): On July 3. List of owned recipes fully updated.

Egami,

 

This is an awesome event to see - Thanks to both you and cajun for making it happen. I've though of doing the same thing, but don't have nearly the BP spaces or component spaces needed for something like this. I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors for this event, and hope it's a success!

 

Regards,

While I have been editing this post for quite some time and have been having tons of pms on the whole thing, I'm kind of (not really) surprised that there hasn't been a bit more collusion. 

 

Of course, I'm on the "organization" side... and well, I guess I'd like to see more people talking here... making suggestions. Saying what they're interested in. 

 

I understand that it's a "high order". But like the post if you like the idea. Even post that fact. My "edits" do nothing to push this up on the "list". 

 

When someone says they're interested in "X"... I believe it's better if everyone gets together on ingredients. That of course is all up to you.

 

I will float some "ideas" during the double XP. Plan was always to advertise even more while that's on in the hopes that it could result in maximum participation. 

 

In the meantime, I'd like to thank everybody that has sent me info or offered tokens and pots. Feedback has been really positive. I understand that people don't like to post in the forum. But the fact is that I don't feel I deserve all the credit for this. 

 

If it goes to my game log... it's kind of "lost". 

 

In any case, thank you to absolutely everyone that is sending verbal support via my game log. 

 

Work together to make this a bigger advantage for you. And prosperous smacking to everybody that participates in the double XP!

I just don't want to turn the comp camera on, lmao.

 

Seriously, I understand gilby. It's a trust issue and I get it. How are people going to know that I am an honorable person and am sending them everything I invent and/or leftover items? 

 

I was hoping Y0DA would drop in here and give testament to last year. Or anybody else that participated, but RL is such an evil obstacle, lol.

 

My only "solution" to that is for people to check my Ally list and maybe they can find somebody there that they trust that can give a character reference. 

 

In your case, for example, I'd suggest you talk to chslayer. We've been allies forever. Woopy and I still don't know each other very well. I requested him as my ally due to his generosity on the tokens (and other things I'd seen) and he seems like a good guy to me. He simply supports the effort, but might not "yet" be able to testify to my honorability. 

 

If anybody has trust issues... it seems natural to me. Pm me in game if you have doubts and I'll see if we can find somebody you trust to give a character reference.

 

Along the same lines, part of the reason (besides bp space) I'm asking for STs on that is to keep strict track of results. For example, I have a player that will be making Dragon Draped Sabatons. I will take the ST on the armor and go according to their instructions and then send back. Then I would take the next person's ST and do the same. That makes a clear separation so there is no confusion. Does that make sense?

PRIDE:

 

There’s been a couple questions on this, so figured, I better throw it in here. On Pride, we don't have a high enough level composer to make it, unfortunately.  Thanks out to IKhaos for being the first to suggest it and do the math.

If somebody who can, wants to pop over to make one… that’d be great. I don’t plan on paying for it myself… but I’ll think about it.

 

RESOURCES:

 

On the resources (non token ones): Yes you need to provide those. Most people are coming to me directly with what they're making which seems a little unfortunate to me as I was hoping more people would use the thread and perhaps ban together.

 

It's hard for me to say "how many" to provide. My assumption is that everyone wants to go for at least two sets, so double the amount is my "minimum suggestion". I will be using the high level Extraction 1 and I plan on getting the Extraction II buff (don't think there is a cheap pot for this) so I don't think much getting destroyed will happen.

 

Resources do also get saved, but it's something I can't calc (I actually have some stuff left over from when I did this last year and am happy to use). So depends a bit on what you're making. The biggest “issue” I see are those resources that extract into different things. You need to have enough extract into the particular ingredient you need for your particular recipe. The other stuff might be “useless”.

 

And that’s what I mean by hoping that people would talk a bit more in the thread. For example, if one resource extracts into two separate ingredients used in two separate items, then it’s a win-win if two players making those separate items come together.

 

Beyond that, last year a couple players actually farmed resources and kept popping over until their “items” eventually ran out.

Ok, quoting myself... how ridiculous is that?

 

For general knowledge: From last year I have around 5 deer hides and venison. If you're wanting to invent something that includes this, please pm me. 

 

Beyond that, I wanted to send some thanks out to PrinceKash who has offered to try and farm resources during the event itself. 

 

LET ME BE PERFECTLY CLEAR (and yes, this is my input and not theirs): You need to be responsible for your own resources. If you do not provide for them, I won't feel any necessity whatsoever to ask PK to run around due to your negligence. 

 

PK has made an extremely generous offer (as have many) and I will concentrate on making requests from PK that benefit the community as a whole.

Hey there :D i figured id post here rather then send a pm, both because i plan on trying to work with others to get a few items together and its not as easily lost in a sea of PMs lol.

 

my main thing is that id like to offer a second oimacraz pot for you :D im sitting on a golden chest that i actually intended to use for omacraz anyway, however i dont have the funds to put it to good use nore the BP space to be able to host an event similar to this here.

 

ill be working 1800-300 server time on the fourth, so ill send the cest in a ST sometime before then or the day before if you decide you do need it.

 

i had planned on selling it sometime soon simply to get that extra slot in my BP, but i think this may be better simply because it does help the comunity as well if things go well :D

 

~~ gools


Gold / Kill peaks at about Level 310 or so - and then drops again twice - once at 1601 (from average 300g / kill with no doubler/mer/th to 250g / kill) and then again at at 1626 (down another 50g / kill to an average of 200g / kill)

I don't think this is very efficient. Screenshot and save for each? Waste of Omacaz time in my book.

 

And more to the point: Anyone could manipulate that by providing those screen shots where items aren't saved.

 

So apart from my rep checking suggestion... maybe I'll ask those that benefit to drop a line in this thread post-event.

Thanks tons gools... that's an excellent offer in the spirit of the event itself. 

 

That said, I don't "think" it will be necessary based on requests that have come in so far. From my experience last year, things can get crazy on the day of, but hopefully my organizational skills will keep it under control.

 

Basically, I'll be going through all the requests that have come in so far. They have priority.

 

Once those are "done", I'll advertise in the boxes for "late-comers", hehe.  

 

If IKhaos' calc is correct, I figure the 163.5 minutes should be enough. But many thanks. 

 

GENERAL COMMENT:

 

I haven't been contacted by people on the possibility of a Pride potion to extend the time on the pots. So that's still out there. I also have NOT contacted any of the travelling composers I've heard of, simply because I don't want to impose.

 

At this point, tons of people have offered help in many and varied ways... Extractor I pots, Brew M pots, Arena token items, etc. I'm sure I've missed thanking people in this thread and will try and do something about that at the end of it all.

 

So my apologies and many thanks... it is all extremely appreciated. It's really nice to see people making such a great effort (o0

Hey there,

Nice event, Egami!

I'm dropping by to add the Jade Dragon set to the 'items of interest list'. So, if anyone is looking for it too, let me know.

Cheers
