Mighty Pirate Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 (edited) [size="5"]The Lost Treasure of Mad Mans Island[/size] Last year I signed up on an accursed pirate ship. During a bloody mutiny I saved my life by jumping into the ocean and swimming to an island. Fortunately, no other pirate noticed me. I had to stay there for a full month until I was rescued by a merchant vessel. The island appeared to be an old pirate hideout. I found an old treasure chest. However I am unable to open it since it is locked and I don't have the key. All I found was an inscription saying that the key is 'a magic fight'-key and has to be created from 10 parts. I also found a scroll next to the chest. It seems to describe 10 MagicDual locations, perhaps it has some connection to the key? 1. According to an old paper document, this is a place with a usefull device. 2. The place where the Talking Worm can be found in the Astral Plane. 3. 3_-3x-4_1 4. 'Every moment spent serving you gives him the power he needs to defy the Gods.' 5. An Alley with a bench. 6. The place where someone walks although he's dead. 7. The room with the dozen shelf rows. 8. 'association of friendly signposts of MD'. 9. The place of Full Glow. 10. Nel caso tu non abbia realmete sentito ... If you can help me to get the right key, the reward will be great. I suggest that you first solve the riddles. From the answers you should create the key. I don't know exactly how to do it but perhaps you have an idea? Once you created the key send me a screenshot with the proof. Including your Active Day counter if you want to apply for the special price, see below. Find me at the place where you should 'remember that nothing is random'. [size="4"]Some Remarks:[/size] - Requirements: MP4, MP5, MP6 - MP3 can try the riddles. I'll give away something for the first MP3 to solve the 10 riddles. - Good knowledge of MD world will give an advantage - Good riddlers will have an advantage - Good fighters will have an advantage - Good role players will have an advantage - No Alts at all - no exception! - Please feel invited to tell me your opinion. This is my first quest, I like to hear whether you liked it or not. [size="4"]Hints:[/size] - Yes, I will give hints - Hints cost nothing. Hints will only be given by PM. I will answer quest related PMs once a day. So hints just cost time. - You can send me the 10 locations, I will tell you which are correct. The same for the key: You can send the key, I will tell you how well it fits the chest. - You don't have to find all locations, you can 'guess' the missing parts of the key. But, you could guess wrong - You can try to send me different keys as often as you want. (I might change this rule later if I get too many PMs). Yrthilian will kindly sponsor two Wish Points for the winners. First winner will be the one who solves the quest first Second winner will be the quest solver with the lowest number of active days. This is meant as a motivation for new players to start solving quests Quest is open for one week or until I get 10 correct solutions. Special thanks again to *Burns* for testing!

dst Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 How important is the timing? Cause for me 7 pm server time is the worst time ever . And if timing is important...can you postpone it to 8 pm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] The treasure has been hidden for centuries, it will not run away Timing is not very important - I expect the quest to run at least 2 days, 6 hours and 10 minutes before I receive a solution (just a guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mighty Pirate Posted April 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 An update after day 1: Until now, I did not receive a working key for the chest. I received 3 answers with all locations correct. I received some more answers with many/most locations correct. Some more hints: - There is one location which almost everybody gets wrong first time. Don't let your memory fool you - Don't forget to look at compass descriptions. - The text for riddle 10 is MD-original, its not a code. I assume its Italian. As for the key: - Remember, its a magic fight key. - Remember, you have to send me a screen shot, not text or code. - Remember, good fighters have an advantage. - Remember, good role players have an advantage. - Hints are free, once a day.

Mighty Pirate Posted April 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 (edited) Update after day 2: I received several fight keys. One fits! (One Wish Point gone). The winner will be revealed after quest close (next Monday). MP3 winners are Yoshi and Pazur Special price for MP3 (a Tormented Soul) goes to Pazur. Some of you made it to the final task. If you find out how to create a magic fight key, let me know by PM. You will get detailed hints about how to create the correct magic fight key once you figured this out. Last hint: - Use your free hints! Just PM me if you need hints! Have fun Mighty Pirate Edited April 28, 2010 by Mighty Pirate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoshi Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 (edited) This was an interesting/fun quest ^^ Kinda sucks that MP3's were unable to win Edited May 3, 2010 by Yoshi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dst Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Yes, it was a really fun and quite quest. I personally figured out the key by mistake which made it more fun From my point of view it is one of the best quests I have done recently. Good job!
