(-) paying for bod rewards

Post by Shaft »

Ok no he didnt, only wonderful things Col does for us.

But here is my idea. A player service that allows someone to select the prize they get for BODs. Mind you it would have to be in the same prize pool.
An example you say? Sure here it is...
Bob says "Oh man i want a 5 use poison dip tub really bad." *finds the BODs for this and fills them*
Now two things could happen here, normally he turns in the BOD and MIGHT get what he wants or...
My suggestion...
He calls upon the player service, and it costs some gold, maybe depending on the intensity of the BOD itself, and he gets the prize that he wants.

Discuss...

maybe sacrifice the gold in order to get the item you need.....But only in certain cases. If you need a 110 PS in taming But get Lore or Vet then no you can't choose what you need.

Here is an outside suggestion....Instead of gaining reputation you LOSE a lot to get the choice, aswell as losing the gold of course.
Don't forget you are at the mercy of the vendor when doing that and it may make you look a fool in his eyes when you ask.

Good idea, but i suggest this would be only available for large 6 cout bods, all bod types but it would cost huge amount of gold to change reward type + that would make a good gold sink :)

i think that should depend on bod quality:

6 count bod, normal material: 20k + 5k for except
6 count bod, normal + 1 material: 40k + 15k for except
6 count bod, normal + 2 material: 60k + 30k for except

well there's a gold table - the amount of gold that each type of bod gives you. Maybe we could just take it from there, and multipy... by 5 perhaps.

If the multiplyer is 5, then i think a 6 count 20 taming bod would cost you 1mil to get this. Plus we can add something like 10k tokens for smallbod or 20k tokens for largebod.


Also, i really liked the idea about making pets breed faster. I will make such deed - doubleclick and target whatever you want to come out of breeding faster. It could be like 30-50k for the shortening of 24 hours.

so 150k would pop it out right then and there?
maybe 50k per day cut off and an option to pay 200k to pop it out instantly.

well first i was thinking of a deed, but we could aswell make a stone. You target a mating delayed pet or pet claim ticket, it sets the delay date 24 hours sooner and takes 50k from your bankbox.

well we have thougt it thru, it would be a good gold sink, but the problem is that it would reduce the most potential source of donation money... which is a very critical thing for keeping up this shard, well right now we run on a free server (i pay for the small keepup costs), but once we need a Terahertz gazillionbyte RAM server, we'll need every penny.

So i'm afraid this request cannot be granted.
