PREVIEW: Pocket Legends Guild Event - "The Mad Mage's Castle!"

[Cinco]

A NEW EVENT is coming: The Mad Mage's Castle - Guild Leaderboard Event!

The "MAD MAGE'S CASTLE" Event is a realm-wide competition for Guilds!

During the multi-day event:
+ Hunt for a portal to the "Mad Mage's Castle" (no purchase necessary - available to Legends of all levels).
+ Enter the portal (solo... it's balanced for solo players) and defeat monsters to score Points for your Guild!
+ Standard monsters give +1 Point, Golden monsters +10, Boss monsters +20, and 'Myxx' gives +30 Points.
+ Chance to loot Elite Amulet crafting components, Mage Cave crafting components and the rare ‘White Lightning’ vanity helm and armor.
+ Check the Guild Event Leaderboard to mark your progress.

At the end of the Event, the Guild with the most Points is declared the Winner!
Members of the Winning Guild gain access to a special vendor for 48 hours.
(Note: you must be a member of the guild during the Event to qualify; late-comers get no access.)
Winning Guild Members can access the Event Prize vendor from the 'Guild Management' Knight in the Guild Hall to purchase:
+ Unique Vanity Helm, Vanity Armor and Pet (ranging 500k to 1.5MM)
+ Level 105 Amulets, Rings and Elite Level 105 Weapons (for 2MM to 8MM gold each)
+ Deep discounts on Pure and Hemi-Stat weapons (still for Platinum)


Bosses and Gold Skeletons have a small chance to drop crafting materials for Level 105 Elite Proc Weapons.
The Vanity items shown above are the "White Lightning" Helm and Armor - extremely rare loot drops from monsters.
The Vanity items shown below are part of the "White Dragon" suite: Helmet, Armor and Pet.


These Vanity items are character-bound but can be crafted into trade-able items for Plat (100 - 300 Plat depending on the item).

This event is currently slated to go live at the end of next week: May 11th - 13th with prizes available May 14th and 15th.

Nice Really like the idea

As promised in the 2014 white drag thread, I will be purchasing however much plat it takes to get that!

While it's nice , it's not white drag. Doesn't have the dragon wings, has cyber jet mods. White drag to me is angelic white body and helm base with 14 karat gold horns, wings,, arms and legs.

The only two guilds that have a chance of winning this are Pocket Community and Reborn based on the number of players they have.

Smaller guilds (like mine) who prefer quality over quantity have zero chance to win this event.

This will also have an impact on tearing apart other guilds who choose to join Pocket Community or Reborn for the event just so they can win.

I dislike the idea because it's not inclusive to all guilds, but rather only a select few who could win based solely on numbers.

Edit: Since some of you think this post was an indirect diss towards Reborn or PC, it wasn't. Each of these guilds have high quality PVE players. Hopefully my second post on the second page clarifies what I mean about my 'quality vs quantity' statement and the numbers game. Oby seems to understand what I mean, but some players in Reborn are misinterpreting it. Hopefully this clears things up a bit.

I actually agree Dolloway. I don't know why, but this one just doesn't appeal to me.

I've gotta agree. I have to think this is gonna play out as a two-horse race. And all the while, everyone in both guilds will be joining the other guild with an alt. So that no matter which guild prevails, they will have access to the reward. Both guilds will be actively recruiting, as always. It won't be at all hard for any player in the game with 2-3 characters to ensure they have access to the reward vendor.

Also, the gold prices for the reward items at the vendor will be one determining factor, as far as how much time and effort people will want to put into this event. Imagine grinding the event dungeon hard and having your guild win, only to discover that the items you wanted to buy cost more gold than you possess. I feel that the item prices from the reward vendor should be announced before the event starts

Assumptions... Show me where Cinco mentioned the word "gold".

Well it used to say this.... but it seems (for verying amounts of gold) was replaced by deep discounts on weapons...

Helps to read the preview. The post was edited since the initial announcement.

I am aware however the edit spoke volumes that cinco has now addressed. Thanks for your concern.

Changed my mind about providing this info. Edited OP.

Agree. Great concept, but unfair to all but a select few guilds.

Everyone can do it if they try hard

I love the concept of the event, but I have to agree with others, a guild event is hard for the smaller guilds.

Perhaps a leaderboard event, where the top 50 or 100 participants get to reap the rewards. So any one who grinds hard gets to achieve the benefits.

Loving the white dragon!

And I appreciate that your making an option for 105 amulets and weapons to be bought with pl gold from a vendor.

Apart from joke, nice idea. Probably first of its kind. Hopefully we will similar guild wars for PvP too and other PvP challenges.
Sure this can be improved with new ideas , it has some cons but overall thrilling to see new ideas.

+1 love this that how this gonna be the hot subject among all everyone is gonna talk about it farm together and make a guild enjoy PvE like never b4.

[Jilsponie]

A vendor selling 105 weapons and amulets sounds awesome... but needing to join another guild to buy them doesn't. It would be nice to see everyone get a chance for these vanities and items.

Seems to me any guild could win, as long as they play and play and play. Regardless of current leaderboard status... It's more of an activity challenge? I can see a guild not even on the top guild board having a chance at it. Is it just me?
