**This thread is intended to explain and help prepare for my Treasure hunting/Hide and seek event. All interested players are invited to attend! If not interested please kindly disregard this post. Thank you and have fun! :) **


Hello and welcome to my Treasure hunting event. In this event you will participate in a world-wide search for hidden treasure! Each hosted event will last about 2 hours (depending on the number of participants), with a good amount of rewards to be earned! (The total amount will be declared by individual event post prior to each event)


The general rules/concepts for all events will be as follows:
The trail for treasure consists of one demo/intro, using the free to play areas only. Then up to five members area trails, for a total of 6 trails including demo. For each trail there will be two hider (myself + chosen assistant), and we will be doing two different levels of difficulties independently. Including demo there will be up to 12 different locations (and rewards).
Each trail (except demo) will follow the following general concept:
Every trails consists of three clues:
The 1st clue will be a general clue open to many areas
The 2nd clue will greatly lower your possible search area (by 50% or more)
The 3rd clue (if you know the game well) will directly pinpoint to our specific location
Your knowledge of the game, including but not limited to: history, lore's, quests, storylines, or reference to real-life locations/events, etc, will be tested by these trails.
A new hint will be provided every 5-8 mins depending on numbers of participants.
The following areas are not used/closed for this event:
Wilderness, GWD, The Heart, Senntisten, any instanced or area that will prompt a screen for instance (boss lairs), and lastly any area that require more than one player to reach (Castle wars, Soul wars, etc).
A L L other areas, skill/quest areas, dungeons, etc, are open.

Wishing everyone best of luck and have fun! :D

I will be doing the easy-med level of trails, and reward for finding me is 25m per trail. My kind assistant (Yrs) will be doing the hard-elite level of trails, and reward for finding her is 35m per trail.
The hosting friend chat (NOT my own) will be declared on site prior to the event, so please be on time! :)

Thank you all participants for a fun event last time! According to feedback/suggestions/comments, the following changes/clarification are being made to the next event, please see below.


Winning > A single player can only win a max of 3 rewards per event, out of the 10 total rewards available.
Risk > Please note that this event is NOT designed for beginners/low level players, as certain risks are present for some areas. Although no boss or high-end combat are involved, general monsters in the area or environmental dangers may still pose a risk to players. Low level combat may even be required to reach certain areas. A set of tier 70+ equipment and some food are recommended.
Areas > Other than the listed areas not allowed on the first post (please see thread head), ALL other areas, including quest related areas, may be possible hiding locations. Also note that certain item(s) may be required to gain access to an area is also a possibility, so all participants are recommended to have most of the general areas unlocked. To ensure fairness, we CANNOT make any exceptions should one player cannot gain access to a location due to quest limitations.
Q & A > Other than confirming an area's availability (if its instanced or not), we CANNOT provide any additional information during the event. It is up to the player to find out if certain location(s) have any quest requirements and/or if certain item(s) are needed to gain access.
Hiding method > Any types of alterations are permitted in the event, including but not limited to: transformation, camo potions, transfiguration, animations, or any other type of 'hiding boost' that is not the result of a bug. Please search carefully! :)
Win a reward > You must trade the hider (or stand on same square as the hider and call out if trade cannot be done) to qualify. Any other format (e.g. standing across a river and shouting 'I see you') does not count for a win.

Wishing everyone best of luck! :)
