General Etiquette
I'm sure you guys should already know this, but I'd like to restate it all in here. This applies for Events and Hunts, so listen up!
Proper spelling and grammar is a MUST. Although it something you must always comply with, for the sake of our sanity please when you write, make sure anyone can read it. Since you don't get a response until we fully understand what on Evelon you are going on about.
Also. Another big one, Godmodding. This rule is not applicable for hunts however, in Events, it's an entirely different matter. My characters are mine, just as much as your characters are yours. That said, in Events please regard the environment as my character too, and do not try to manipulate it to your own will. It makes my job that much harder to run the actual event.
That said, I am allowed to godmod your character to some degree. I won't do anything drastic or take over your character, rather tell you if your character has, or hasn't accomplished something or perhaps move them from one spot to another, with the help with one of my own characters.
Pets Available
All pets available that have been found, will be released on the main website, along with the location they are found in. Standard wild pets such as Mekkayena, Akail and Mr. Wilson can be found all year round.
The pets found are also affected by season. Some pets are only found in Summer and so on. A comprehensive list can be found here.
From time to time, documents belonging to an unknown adventurer will be found, and it's up to users to determine what the contents mean in order to discover the pets for themselves.
How to Start a Hunt
So I bet you've seen all those cool pets on the Wild Creatures and you're wondering how on Evelon you can get them. The process is quite simple. Here's how it goes!
Step 1.
Roleplay! This is as simple as it gets. Just pick any old place, with any old pets (hey, you can even bring a friend). Some pets only appear after a minimum requirement, so make sure you reach that goal.
Step 2.
Once a week, you're able to turn in your hunt to this thread and potentially win a prize! You can also buy items on the spot to increase the success of your hunt or lure in pets.
Step 3.
Random Event (that is, me!) will reply and tell you how you went.
Step 4.
After you've posted, you're done for the week. You can still roleplay as normal but you cannot submit any more hunts until the week is up.
What's this 'Difficulty' thing?
Difficulty explains how much work is needed to find a specific pet. Easy pets require the least amount of work, with Hard requiring the most work.
Pets fall into one of three categories, Easy, Medium or Hard.
• Between 10 & 19 posts for solo | Between 15 & 24 for co-op
70% chance for Easy, 30% chance for Medium
• Between 20 & 29 posts for solo | Between 25 & 34 for co-op
15% for Easy, 70% for Medium, 15% for Hard
• Over 30 posts for solo | Over 34 posts for co-op
30% chance for Medium, 70% for hard
Items
Items exist to help control the random nature of a hunt. Items will be revamped down the line, once more species get released, but right now, you can spend a small amount of keystones to either force a specific species or rarer pets to appear. These items will be consumed as soon as you use them, regardless of outcome. If you're rping with someone, it will apply to both of your rolls.
These Pets Seem Too Hard to Get
I'm sorry you feel that way! This system is a work in progress and it's going to be constantly be getting tweaks until I find the perfect balance. Also the more hunts there are, the more pets will be found, and the faster new things can be released! If there's more pets in the system, I'll be more comfortable in tweaking things to make them easier to find/catch.
Still, if you're struggling, have an idea I could use or want to suggest items, this thread is the place to go! I'm always open to new ideas and I love hearing from you.
