My first contest......Rune Hunter contest....

[Re-Wired]

Ok. I've had this in mind for quite sometime now just never put it to ink. Now please keep in mind that this is my first attempt at a contest, so to speek.
I came up with the idea as I was playin and noticed that runes seem to drop pretty regulally ,but I had a hard time reciving a Thul(#10), Hence the contest.

Rulez:
1.)You must play a HC char.
2.)Any build is permitted
3.) Char restarts permitted. Altho No one should Die, unless you just get careless.
4.)You must collect the Runes, IN ORDER, from El - Thul.
Sounds easy huh??
5.)You many only craft 1 rune type once. ie: 3 el's to produce an Eld. You may no longer use El's to run up the Rune ladder. 3 x eld = Tir , No more eld's can be used. You get the Idea.
6.) No re-runnin area's. ie: No countess runes.


Now this is a pretty simple tounrey. It was designed to be so. All of the threads that I've read, ppl seem to be upset with the diffulty of not being able to achieve the goal.
Keeping in mind that you must find them IN ORDER and you cant craft a set of runes but 1 time, I think this will prove more diffecult than most ppl think If it doesnt, O'well, still fun Hope some ouf you Runers out there care to par-take in this.

Now for the Prize.
I have, in my possession, a brand new, freashly pulled from the cows arse, Gul Rune. Now this seems like a pretty hefty prize, and it is I think. But since I have 2 of them I would be willing to let 1 go for this. Seems like a noble cause.

Since I'm kinda sweet on Sin's . That's what I'll be playin.
So SynTaxx is born.
lvl 1 No runes , as of yet.

Good luck Hunters, and good fortune.
ON WITH THE SLAUGHTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:edit: I thought this goes w/o sayin but jsut to be sure. This is a un-twinked contest. Mulein off allowed , but no mulein on.
:re-edit: As I thought about it, If you find a rune out of sequence, it must be sold or used.

I'd reccommend adding a fixed starting time. If people start staggered, then the it's a serious advantage to those who read the forums 24/7 .

Not a bad idea.... shall we say Wensday then.... sure Wensday it is. I'm glad I agreed with myself. 3 days should be enough time for ppl to decide if they want to join or not.

Any tournament with a Gul Rune as a prize is a tournament that you can bet that I'll be in. :xgrin: I'll play a bowazon named Lucky.

i'd recommend making the act 5 rescue-the-prisoners quest reward not count towards the contest goal, cause that eats up tal, ral, and ort in one quick and easy motion (unless you were going for that amount of quick/easy, that is)

[Bull(R)]

As runes cannot be part of giveaways or runs people do to mf for others (another form of giveaway) I do not think that the Gul rune would be an acceptable prize. I'll let AE field this one, but just a heads up that I believe you'll have to change the prize.

There is not a standerized rule set for contest or give-aways. I'm not MF'in for anyone. I jsut wanted a contest that is going to fun for everyone to play, plus have a reward for doing so. What is the differance of me giving 1 of my Gul's as a prize , vs you giveing a +28 mara's as a prize? Point being : all items/runes found are from one form or another of MF'in.

As it is my contest, I am pretty sure it is I who gets to decide what the prize should be.

Good observation. I agree. Act 5 Q2 is out. The main thread will be updated soon after this .

Thx Ishade

This sounds pretty cool.
Just a clarification...runes must be found in order?
So if I find a few runes(EL, ELD, TIR) and then Countess drops me an ITH, it doesn't count?

Just wondering...

no seriously bull(r) is right, you cannot give away or trade runes, its just how it is now, just a while ago AE made someone keep hold of an ist rune that dropped while the guy was doing runs for someone.
