Contests, Quests and Adventures

Inside the Loreroot library, a new book has appeared! But to get to it, you need to complete a quest first. To start the quest, simply "search" the stone in the lower left part of Gazebo of Equilibrium scene. Have fun!

The current problem which we face : So, how to break the spell? After the new year began, an entity known as "Elf of Confused Santa" has appeared. (the whole interaction with him is mentioned by Chew in this post https://forum.magicduel.com/topic/23872-the-hunt-for-red-presents-2023/#comment-199124 ) Now, the elf is dead (killed). It is not clear if the elf, even when they were alive, really had the power to open the presents. Maybe the elf could not do it, or they could but needed some time / our assistance. So, reviving the elf may or may not help. Other than the reviving, we may contact the (not) Confused Santa. There are pro…

A stash of presents has been found There is a muttering around MagicDuel that the tiny elves were a little confused this Christmas, Led by their most definitely not confused leader, Confused Santa, they appear to have selected entirely the wrong presents for the tree this year! Seek out where the true presents were kept and see if you can reclaim what is rightly yours! CODENAME: CHRISTMAS2023

Anyone that names a way to be teleported (move scene without moving in any way) while under the effect of the Ironboots potion will earn 1 gold coin. This applies to you yourself moving, or someone moving you while you are under the spell. First person to post it here detailing it gets the prize. Each way is worth one gold coin and you can claim multiple. Ways I am already aware which won't earn a coin: Alliance teleporting Chase spell bringin The shopkeeper is freely available to give out sips for those testing. It is important to patch these holes for some future quests so I am keen to see what we can find to abuse it

Fyrd Argentus reluctantly admits to a misadventure in his youth, in which an entire bookshelf of storybooks was magically frozen. They are finally, years later, starting to thaw out. You are invited to join the recovery effort and see what treasures may unfold - Fyrd is too embarrassed to be seen by any Archivist there. Just go to the MDA Log Room and check out the Frozen Storybook Shelf. ~~~~~ As an added incentive, first one to get to the end of book 1 also gets a colored creature. (Save a screen shot.)

Please take a moment to help me help you better.

See announcement: If you are around at the weekend and are interested in testing this please let me know! It will probably reward some prizes for helping out Thanks Chew

Lashtal asked me to post the following: "After 10 years of good sleep, the recurrent nightmare returns! Thanks to awesome coders (Fyrd Argentus and Valoryn) "A recurrent nightmare" is now available to experience yourself. It will bring you deep inside Necrovion and face to face with your subconscious. You will experience the same nightmare I had, its variations and its absurdity. You can start it at the Howling Gates, where a new floating orb appeared. The quest is not a race, so take your time and... sleep on it! Those who end it will be rewarded with a WP... plus something special." If you have concerns about the content, contact Lashtal. If you have concerns…

The Overseer for the Lighthouse reconstruction has arrived! You may find him near the lighthouse. The renovation is split into multiple Phases. The current Phase is 0. You may also learn the current Phase from the Overseer. In this Phase, we are looking for Auditors! Their role will be to take a look at the Lighthouse, check the faulty parts, make a list of resources and items which will be needed to be gathered and crafted for the reconstruction. (the Auditors are expected to cooperate and communicate between each other. I will create a forum group for this, or if someone has problems with using the forum, an alternative solution can be found.) We are lo…

My friend makes these little knit critters (more likely crochet). Make one of an MD creature, of similar quality and style, and earn a wishpoint! (No spherical creatures allowed, must have features). NOTICE: If you make a drach, you can't win both this and the permaquest about making a drach with the same style thing. (Let's show Seigheart how it's done!)

*sounds of falling rubble* The Golemus lighthouse is long overdue a reconstruction. This will be a difficult task, and every helping hand is needed. Currently, the details of the reconstruction are unknown. The reconstruction will be going for a longer period of time. This is a sort of public event/quest where you can help with the reconstruction. Gathering some resources will be likely involved. The reconstructed lighthouse might also help with a potential sea travel. More info coming soon!

This is a contest to encourage people to build up their character's depth (to mix my metaphors). Below are sets of Role Play Items each of which go together in a theme. Your job is to write an essay explaining why the items in a particular theme fit your own character. (Alts okay, but specify which you are writing about). One point for each valid point in your argument, and one point for each complementary RP Item you already have, and for each corresponding element in your Avy. The number of prizes awarded for each theme will be square root of the number of serious submissions (FRD). Top prize is - you get the collection of RP Items. Contest ends …

I would like to see how the sweets you are having for the upcoming holidays look like! Your taks is: Send a photo (single or multiple, that is up to you) of a cake/pie/some desert you are planning to eat during the upcoming holiday! Important, don't forget to put a paper with your ingame name on it in the photo so I can see that you are the author of the photo. Reward: I will buy 3 cakes (the ones from the Muffin Man at Heresy Lane) to every participant!:) edit: Deadline is 31 december 2022.

I have noted of recent of the implementation of the newfound ability to customise one's interface; that which may alter how one shall perceive of the realm. For those for whom this is unfamiliar, the announcement were henceforth: https://magicduel.com/page/Announcement/view/5828 I have spent some time to ponder upon this, and although it may take some time to move the elements to one's liking, I am quite in favour of this newfound ability to do so (many thanks to @Muratus del Mur for this change). A simple quest, then, but one which I hope will encourage of further improvements: 1. Change the layout, using the aforementioned feature, to that wh…

Hi all! I will be posting out Christmas/Holiday cards this year to everyone who would like one. If you would like one from me then please send me your address (formatted however your country needs it formatted!) and I will post one off! Normally I include some kind of artwork or something secret, so I shall have a dig around the archives. Don't tell Mur! If you wish to send or receive cards feel free to post here to let people know (But don't post your address here!). As a reminder, you should only share your address with people you trust, there are some strange people on the internet! If you ask to send a card to someone and they decline don't be…

Task: Find all of the new Halloween decorations around the realm, and then write (as a reply to this post) the number you have found. After the event ends, the top three people will be required to send me screenshots of all the decorations they found:P The decorations in hidden scenes which are not open to public do NOT count. Example of a halloween decoration would be the web at GoE. Please, if you are not sure if something counts as the decoration, send me a screenshot of it, and I will judge if it counts as one or not. If two or more people send the same number of discovered decorations, the one who sent the number first has a higher rank…

Hi everyone. I have a peculiar challenge for you. All "really good" entries will be properly rewarded, and by "really good" i mean the entry that wins, plus all other entries that i find similarly good but are not selected as the main winner. The reward will consist in wishpoints, rare creatures, and maybe also some of the new things like the enchanted items. Because the challenge is really difficult, i don't want to promise exact rewards, because i don't know yet if the outcome will be at the level i expect, but in any case rewards will be given for your effort, and if someone nails it down and finds impressive ideas for this, legendary rewards will be given (plus …

Anyone wishing to "dress up" should choose a world-famous figure (fiction or non-) and PM me the name for approval. Ideally, some of your RP items should be clues - that is, your costume. Also, anybody "dressing up" will be given one common RP item from my inventory to complement their character, my choice but you can make suggestions. Post in this thread the fact that you are dressing up, what RP items constitute your costume, and anything else you'd like to add. You may give clues (must be true but can be misleading) to other players in chat but not in PM's (on your honor). If you don't give good enough clues, nobody will guess. Your post here is an invita…

So I dragged a dusty old plush chair out of storage and put it by the grandfather clock. Bad move. It appears to be saturated with the anxiety of MDA students from times past. Every time you sit in it you get a fragment of an image of the things that troubled them, back in the day. Can you help me put these spirits to rest, and restore calm to the MDA? It's worth a wish point. This is going to take some scholarly insight - every time I try to read the material that is revealed, my head just buzzes and I go to sleep...

The heads contest will start today. As said before it will be a simple/basic game as before. Major change is the final round scoring location, Deathmorrow. Heads and scoring is periodical while online. Once we reach 4,000 in the HC round 2 will start. Round 2 will last 40 to 48 hours. I believe Chew may have slightly given away the grand prize( poor Ledah), but second and third place will also win a prize.

The manager of the Three Coin Hotel in the tribunal (Lands of the East) has been called away and wants YOU to cover for him. There is no salary, but you can get various rewards as tips from the hotel guests (mostly skills) and a even a wish point if you stick with it long enough. Besides - what could be more fun?! If interested, read the message left by the manager on the wall at the Three Coin Hotel.

All that wish to participate please sign up here, I'll be working out a few details based on how many people sign up. Once sign up's are over I will release the details. It will be rather basic at first, but all feed back will be took into consideration for future HC's. This is currently for MP5 only for the time being. July 30th will be the dead line for sign up's, thank you all for your participation!

Announcing that in about 24 hours, Ungod and I will be releasing the first "episode" in a series of Mystery Quests. These are story-focused clicky-based quests that are not hard but should provide several hours of amusement. Probably NOT for new MP3's - for you, work on the Lost Path/Shadow Army quests first. Each "episode" will be a stand-alone quest with prizes and rewards, using the same cast of characters and places. A WP for first winner, a colored creature for bonus extras. Also a spicy pickle for every typo and a silver coin for any inconsistency in the dialog (excepting deliberate lies, of course). I will post the announcement Saturday 7/6 shortly af…

Heads contest time! Sign up here if you wish to be enrolled to compete in this round. I aim to have at least 10 contestants. As most are familiar with this contest it will play out as it always has in the past, the scoring system is the same. Round one is a free roam battle for heads and gaining in score. no points gained while off line. More heads bigger scores gained. I expect round one to last a total of 5 days from the start. At the end the scores will be reviewed and prizes for the top three will be awarded. We will take a one to two day pause to allow the players to prepare for round two. Round two will be at a set location. Scoring only co…

The idea is to get hold of at least one item that starts with each letter of the alphabet. This is a spin-off of the memory game "I packed in my Grandmother's trunk...." and each challenger recites the growing list then adds an item with the next letter of the alphabet, only here you must assemble the list with inventory items. Caveat: I do not know for sure that every letter of the alphabet is represented! Present yourself with your inventory for inspection (loans are okay) to Fyrd Argentus to win a prize. Maybe a pickle, an odd item, or even a colored critter while supplies last. Have fun!
