Halloween decoration explorer

[jakubhi]

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 ranking.

The event ends 6.11

Rewards for top 3 (each person may choose one, winner chooses first):

- 15th Anniversary Barren Soul (colored) (current age: 928)

- Mirrorritual stone

- 10 silver

[Fyrd Argentus]

I will add prizes to this list so that everyone who has at least 10% of the best score gets SOMETHING.

First up would be a Loreroot Marksman (colored).

This post is for clarification and current ranking, I will be updating it from time to time:)

 

Clarifications:

(added 31.10):

- The decorations inside Necro WON'T count. If the decoration has something to do with Necro but it is not INSIDE the Necro, the decoration counts (*cough* before the gate *cough*)

- Each individual pumpkin (no matter if it has a smile or not) counts as a decoration. Say no to pumpkin discrimination! 

 

Current ranking (2.11):

1) Invie - 97

2) Ivorak - 95

3) death ray - 53

 

PLEASE, if you edit your count, dont delete the old count but just cross it like ---this---

For example, if you previously posted 45, and now want to write 50, the post would be:

 

---45---

50

 

Thank you

Just a reminder, some decorations may disappear on 6.11. The last day of Halloween decorations explorer quest is mostly for you to sort out your findings and ask any last minute questions !:)

After the 6.11, I will take a few days to go through your screenshots (and weed out any non-halloween decorations:P ) and announce the final results and winners.

PLEASE, do not forget to somehow point out the decorations you found inside the screenshots, this can be done with some red circles/arrows or just a simple text notes under the screenshot. 

PS: I will give everyone feedback on their screenshots

Oops.. I was taking screenshots of the decorations per the initial instructions, but this makes me think I should have been taking screenshots of the entire scene and annotating them?

You do not have to take screenshots of the entire scene if you don't want to, a screenshot of a decoration itself is good too:) Just don't zoom in too much so I can tell the difference between the decorations.

Sorry for the confusion, both ways are good !

[death ray]

due to storage reasons i took the pictures on my phone...

[jakubhi]

@. deathray

You can still edit the photos on the phone to draw the circles OR if the picture is too small, just add a text note with the photo saying which decorations are in the scene. 

Or, is the problem something else? 

[Fyrd Argentus]

If you only have 3 participants, if each found ANY they are winners.  No need to worry about verification of the count.

Could be 97-102, not 100% sure about them.

PD: It would have been more fun counting decorations in NC with no personal items payment allowed.

Halloween decoration explorer quest is now closed! 

Please send me your screenshots in forum pms. 

After a few days, I will announce the final results.

Thank you for joining the quest!

 

[Fyrd Argentus]

Seems I owe somebody a Marksman... please advise.

[jakubhi]

3 people have their final score so far, waiting for the last one to send notes for their screenshots, should be soon:)

The results will be announced here. 

[jakubhi]

The results:

1th place - Invie - 99 points, Congratulations !

2th place - Else - 98 points, a very close second place, the difference was with a very well hidden web near LR backdoor !

3th place - Ivorak - 96 points, very close too !

4th place - death ray - 87 points, a respectable score! 

 

Yet again, thank you for participating. 

Please, choose your rewards (as a reply to this post) in the order : Invie, Else, Ivorak.

And if I understood Fyrd correctly, it seems like death ray is getting probably the most prized reward. I honestly feel that I should add something to the top three rewards:D

 

[Fyrd Argentus]

You said pick in order.  The marksman is an option to be chosen alongside all the others.
