hello im trying to put together a scavenger hunt for my guild and need some ideas of items they can go and find to bring back to me .. If i'm successful with this hunt i'm gonna try to do something for a server hunt also later on .. some ideas on items to bring back and rewards for the winners would be appreciated .. also some rules.. 1. the Hunt can only be up to RoS expansion (so everyone can participate) so no TBL, TOV, or CoV 2. preferably no mob dropped items at least nothing from a lvl 50+ mob so newbies or low lvl toons can participate. 3. preferably nothing on the collect list that can be purchased in bazaar .. a list of avail prizes would be nice also .. so far I have krono, plat , collections , ornaments , illusions(potions) , xp pots , invulerable pots, health/mana pots, nimbus's , familiars, ... so if you can think of anything else that would be kewl for a prize let me know also it cant cost a fortune .. I expect about 20 peeps to actually participate in the hunt could be as high as 30 though ..
Cool idea, what server? You could use ground spawns like evergreen leafs - although that might be hard since they are timed spawns and maybe not enough to go around fast enough. Ldon has some specific drops you could ask for - only takes 3 players and one can be a merc to do those Not sure about only stuff you cannot buy in baz cause most everything you can buy there, except no trade There are quite a few scavenger hunts for EQ anniversary, you could look those up and get some more ideas.
I'm on bertox . its gonna be a hunt for even low lvl toons around so if lvl 30's wanted to join in they could so would need for all the items to be relatively easy , however it shouldn't be overly easy .. for example a lvl 30 thru 50ish toon should be able to get an invis and run around looking for a ground spawn in a lvl 100 zone .. there invis doesnt drop when picking up ground spawns , however the thrill of running around a 100 zone and there invis dropping by randomness will give them an excitement (i hope) I know everything is usually for sale in baz .. but there are things that are tradeable that are not always in baz . and even collects most are not in baz unless its from a current expansion or one that is mostly traveled too .. such as shards landing imo is a greatly traveled zone but maybe EW from RoF is not or TBM expansion .. EoK FM is widely used and so ground spawns are numerous in baz , although scorched woods maybe not .. are the anniv scavenger hunts items avail all year ? i know the quests aren't but are the items still populated on some of them ? is there an item from the Erollisi day celebration quests that they can run through and get me an extra item from that quest OR you think it would be ok if I made that a part of the scavenger hunt actually had them complete the /ach .. I know they did it cause it says all /ach'e in guild and even if i didnt see everyones at least the would have fun doing it ? I purchased some items in game like nimbuses , familiars some xp packs and protective packs and ornaments also some potion illusions from the overseer merchant and the casino .. and of course pp and krono for prizes .. krono for the 1st place winner thank you for your input , i was starting to get worried no one will reply to my post .. ive hit a wall if this is successful i'd like to do it on a monthly basis and or extend it to a serverwide scavenger hunt ..
Actually the collects are a good idea. But keep in mind that there are hundreds of places the collect can spawn. But I think you could do Tainted West Karana. Lots of collects and lots of fast collect respawns. And they are mostly around the two NPC areas. Or running to the Dead Hills portals. EW is an extremely hard zone to get your collects due to how big the zone is, slow collect spawn rate and there are see invis so not sure enough would spawn fast enough for the hunt. You don't want to make the collects too hard. Only time the anniversary stuff drops is during anniversary but I meant it could give you some ideas of how they work. Like the fishing one has players fishing in many zones and although its for an anniversary only fish you could make yours for the common fish and send players out to 5 zones or something for a fish from each zone. Or an item specific to that zone - like anaconda meat from Jaggedpine. Something that benefits the guild, like Vallorian Discus and Nightmare Cichlid from the planes. Then all of the fish would be donated to the guild and someone in the guild can make the fish bones from them so everyone can get Fisherman's Companion But you said its for lower levels so not sure they can get there to fish but maybe some other zone. Our server has most all the collects for sale in the baz. If you filter the prices you can find stuff from every zone that is only a few plat. Ldon items are far less likely to be for sale in baz. like Goblin Bones from Rujarkian Hills Have a full quest as part of it - something easy for lower levels like A Dark Heart and they might need that weapon. Or complete the kill 5 daily from teek and get the armor from completing it as a find. Sounds fun
