|||
Drathrok's Duskruin will begin THIS Friday, January 22nd around 9PM Eastern! Join your fellow adventurers in constructing the arenas, and then jump into the games! Act fast, because Duskruin won't be here long! |
|||
==Duskruin Arena== |
|||
The arena is an individual event where a player fights against various creatures and traps in the hopes of earning prizes and [[bloodscrip]]. There are multiple arena rooms, allowing up to 50 players to be competing in the arena at once. |
|||
Spectators can use {{tt|YELL}} and {{tt|CHEER}} to encourage those in the arena, or taunt their failings. The {{tt|WATCH LIST}} command will show who is currently competing, while {{tt|WATCH}}ing any player, such as {{tt|WATCH BOB}} will allow you to track their progress. |
|||
To enter, players can {{tt|GO PORTCULLIS}} while holding a dueling slip and will be escorted to an arena and the announcer will explain the rules. Players will face 25 challengers, and every 5th one will be a 'boss', or more difficult opponent. Only one creature or opponent will face a player at a time. Players can use the {{tt|WATCH}} command to assess the situation and react accordingly to try and avoid these traps. Your time in the arena is limited, so make good use of it. If your time expires, you will be moved out to collect your winnings. |
|||
If at any point you've had enough, you can {{tt|SURRENDER}} and quit early. However, if you surrender your coin and bloodscrip earnings for that session will be cut in half. Should you fail and die in the arena, you cannot {{tt|DEPART}} but will be automatically dragged out, and healed to full health. The arena's healing services include returning you back to life, but any normal death penalties (lost field experience, scrolls, etc) will still apply normally. |
|||
If a player does everything perfectly in a single session, the most they can earn is 250 bloodscrip. |
|||
==Duskruin Labyrinth== |
|||
Located on the eastern side of the arena, the labyrinth does not have any combat. Players enter by paying with Golden Rat Tokens, and are lead inside. True to its name, the labyrinth is a maze that occasionally r-organizes itself, so any attempt at mapping it is futile. Players can attempt to chase and capture the rat running around inside via the {{tt|SEARCH}} command. Each session, a player may do 10 searches and obtain various treasures hidden within labyrinth. |
|||
Only one rat may be obtained per character, per opening of Duskruin. However, there are many different treasures hidden in the labyrinth, so even if a player already has a rat there are things to search for. |
|||
==Bloodscrip== |
|||
Bloodscrip is a currency similar to the [[Grey Raven Commissary]] scrip. While Grey Raven scrip is automatically accumulated in your character's total listed under the {{com|TICKETS}}, ''some'' bloodscrip starts off as an actual item when found and can be bought, sold, or otherwise traded to other characters. Once {{tt|REDEEM}}ed on a character, bloodscrip cannot be turned back into an item and traded. Bloodscrip can be obtained in the Duskruin Arena and Duskruin Labyrinth and redeemed at various locations within Duskruin and appears as {{ilink|i|Duskruin bloodscrip}}. |
|||
:Note: Because bloodscrip can be a actual item in game, it is highly recommended you treat it with the caution you would any item you would not want to lose. |
|||
==Pet Rats== |
|||
Players can explore the Duskruin Labyrinth and try to and find their very own rat companion. Rats bond to their owner and can be worn or stored in the sack they come with. Note that you should only stow your rat in the sack it came with when it is not worn, as doing otherwise can risk losing the rat. {{ilink|i|Rat}}s come in many different appearances, and can be altered. |
|||
Rats can be worn on the shoulder (in a general slot, but looks like the shoulder). Players can put them in their sack, or {{tt|DROP}} them on the ground. Players can {{tt|FEED}} them various types of food. Only the owner can {{tt|GET}} the rat from the ground. The rats have several other interaction such as {{tt|KICK}} (not that you would!), {{tt|POKE}}, {{tt|RUB}}, {{tt|TICKLE}}, {{tt|THUMP}}, {{tt|TOUCH}} and {{tt|PET}}. |
|||
Rats put on the ground via the {{tt|DROP}} command and will follow their owner, without risk of losing the rat. While on the ground, rats can do battle with the rats owned by other players. Rats may become wounded by battle, but they will not permanently die. Badly wounded rats will run away temporarily and return a real life day later once healed. |
|||
Currently only one rat may be obtained per character, per opening of Duskruin. |
|||

==Auction== |

The first {{ilink|i|Duskruin bloodscrip}} [[Duskruin Auction 419|auction]] will be held on Sunday, January 31, 2016, for the [[Prime]] instance, and Monday, February 1, 2016, for the [[Platinum]] instance. The portable auction caravans will be on the Duskruin grounds. |

Overview
An overview of the history of the event, along with summaries of the various games and attractions available, can be found on the Drathrok's Duskruin page.
Pet Rats
Players can explore the Duskruin Labyrinth and try to and find their very own rat companion. Rats bond to their owner and can be worn or stored in the sack they come with. Note that you should only stow your rat in the sack it came with when it is not worn, as doing otherwise can risk losing the rat. Rats come in many different appearances, and can be altered.
Rats can be worn on the shoulder (in a general slot, but looks like the shoulder). Players can put them in their sack, or DROP them on the ground. Players can FEED them various types of food. Only the owner can GET the rat from the ground. The rats have several other interaction such as KICK (not that you would!), POKE, RUB, TICKLE, THUMP, TOUCH and PET.
Rats put on the ground via the DROP command will follow their owner, without risk of losing the rat. While on the ground, rats can do battle with the rats owned by other players. Rats may become wounded by battle, but they will not permanently die. Badly wounded rats will run away temporarily and return a real life day later once healed.
Currently only one rat may be obtained per character, per opening of Duskruin.
