Random Events!
Tht's right,you read correctly, we're officially starting up our random events here on Shifting Tales. Now, some of you may be asking yourselves some questions, such as: 'What are the chances of getting a random event?' or 'What can I get from a random event?'. Well, it's your lucky day, because I'm here to tell you. =)
Q&A
Q: What is a random event?
A: A random event is something decided by random number generators/dice rolls which can either help or hinder your character.
Q: Can a random event happen anywhere on Shifting Tales?
A: Unfortunately, no. Random events can only occur in places outside of the Wall (i.e. Ocean of Tears, Gorgon Forest, ect)
Q: How often does a random event occur?
A: Each post you make outside the wall earns you a 10% chance of getting a random event.
Q: That seems a little low. Is there any way to up the percentage?
A: Yes, there are items in the shop (Lucky Horseshoe and Four Leaf Clover) which will increase the percentage of getting random events for a set amount of posts of your choosing.
Q: If I'm in a thread with someone and a random event happens do we both get rewards?
A: No, seeing as each individual post is rolled singularily, only the person who wrote said post will get the random event.
Q: Is a random event a IC or OOC thing?
A: Random events will always take place ICly.
Q: Who runs the random events?
A: Random events will be rolled and given out by the Random Event account, though IRL it will be handled by Jonsie, Kyria and Cooper who are all assigned two to three of the beyond the Wall boards.
Q: Can staff get random events.
A: Yes, all except Jonsie.
Q: Wait, wait, so if Cooper is in a thread in his beyond the wall board, he could just lie and say he gets random events all the time! That's not fair!
A: Any staff who RP in their moderated board will have their posts rolled by another staff member and can not do so themselves.
Q: What can I get from random events?
A: You can get runes, DNA, monies, items, weapons/items you can sell to the shop and one incredibly lucky person can win one secret item a month which will be publicly released once it has been won.
Q: What if I don't have the monies to unlock the runes or DNA?
A: You can technically sell runes and DNA to other players OOC or ICly for in game currency (monies). You can also sell items that you have found via a random event to the shop.
*Merchants will get a higher price for their wares
Q: How will I know if my post has been rolled?
A: You will find a ✔ at the bottom of your post.
