| subject = Welcome to The Settlement of Reim! (Mechanical Overview and mild spoilers within)
}}Hello everyone!

Coming soon to an instance near you! I’ll be unveiling a new quest/hunting ground hybrid I’ve been working on known as the Settlement of Reim.

The quest itself is roughly 200 rooms split into four quadrants of dungeon crawling fun. You have two hours to complete the quest or hunt within the area. This is a scaling and instanced quest entirely made up of [[undead]].

The level instance groups are as follows:
:Group 1: 1-30
:Group 2: 31-60
:Group 3: 61-90
:Group 4: 91-100

But Retser, I have FRANDZ that are level 61 and I am 60!!1! Never fear, for you can flag yourself to enter a higher level instance, but be warned, you will find that your creatures are much harder.

Entry: To access this quest you will need to make your way to Icemule Trace and travel down to Thurfel’s Island. Once there, you will find a watery vortex just off of a pier. Venture into the vortex and through the cavernous approach to begin your journey. At the end of the cavern you will find your point of entry. This is not available yet so don’t go looking!

[[Premium]]/[[Platinum]] subscribers will be able to access this quest on a daily cooldown of 22 hours. Non-prem/plat subscribers will need to purchase a token which will be available in the Simucoin shop. There will be transport options from other realms to the quest as you unlock a higher reputation level. This will cost energy that you earn by killing creatures within Reim.

Progression and Rare spawns: As you progress through the quest you will encounter “Rarely Spawned” creatures. These are beefed up and have different names. You will need to hunt these down in order to flag yourself for progression through the quest.
If you are blocked when trying to go through a gate/door, this is most likely it.

Shop details have been removed pending potential changes.

Death: There is no need to fear. If you die, you will be swept up by gentle, groping, ethereal hands. This will take you on a unique adventure to come back to life. (It will cost you energy and reputation) You will be dumped out in a safe room back at the entrance or where you entered the quest from with Transport. To avoid being pulled away you can life keep yourself at any time or have a friend do so. You are limited to one death per quest run. You are also able to turn off the resurrection mechanics and just have it dump your body out.

Periodic Invasions: Automated within the quest environment itself you will find that if you adventure with 4 or more players you may be chosen to win a free invasion! This consists of 2-4 creatures for each player throughout the area of the quest you are in. Prepare to die, clowns. This has a cooldown and will not happen all the time.

Quest Reputation: We have a new reputation system that players earn reputation by killing within the quest. Reputation will allow access to new features and gain more quest energy. Your attack and defense boosts will also be scaled up based on your reputation!

Quest Energy: Quest energy is earned by killing creatures within Reim. This energy can be used for a few BOOSTS, SHOP access, and TRANSPORT into the quest.

Reim Traps: Randomized throughout the quest area are traps. Some will require you to react and respond. Example, if a bow is pointed at your head...DUCK! You will have 5 seconds to respond after prompted to react. If you respond wrong you will still have a randomized chance to avoid the trap... or suffer. There are some traps you cannot avoid.

Reim Treasures: Randomly generated throughout the quest are treasure chests that you can search. These have a chance for creatures, quest energy/rep, and clumps of dirt that have potential for nice prizes!

Reim Achievements: There are 3 achievements available and each will unlock a post-name title for your character that you achieved it with.

Reach 100,000 kills within the Settlement of Reim.
:Progress: 0/100000

Reach maximum reputation within the Settlement of Reim.
:Progress: 1000/10000

Slay all the rare creatures within Reim.

More details to come...

This takes the group leader, or you if you are a loner, and drops you into a pitfall trap with another creature. You can try to escape but the creature has a chance to block you.

| subject = Reim FAQ and Pro Tips (Spoilers)
}}What is the cost?
:During the Sneak Peek Week it is free on a 22 hour cooldown for plat/prem.
:Everyone else can purchase entry for 250k and/or reset their entry mechanics for 250k.
:There is no limit on the number of runs purchased with silver.

Where do I find the entrance?
:[[Thurfel's Island]] beneath [[Icemule Trace]], look for the vortex!

I don't like Icemule, my RP forbids me to be in an awesome place. How else can I get in?
:After a couple of runs you can reach the first level of rep, 1000. From there you can spend 500 energy with REIM transport from almost any town room!
:This will open up your transport for the remainder of your quest on a small cooldown. Just make sure you refill that energy each time. ;)

I'm only level X and I walked in and got SPLATTED by a creature over my level in my instance! What gives?
:There are checks in place to prevent a creature from attacking you (mostly) unless you attack it.
:If you are running through Reim and see a creature that you didn't spawn, be cautious!

Where do I go once inside?
:This is a dungeon crawl. Fight your way to the end! In each area you will find GATES or DOORS that will block progression. To get beyond it you must kill a rare spawn.

What are the level ranges for the four instances?
"1-30
:31-60
:61-90
:91-100

Can I hunt in a higher group?
:Yes, use REIM LEVEL and check it out.

I'm negative in rep and energy, what gives?
:If you die and come back to life with the REIM DEATH system, you have to pay your toll!

I died and my body isn't getting picked up! What do I do?
:[[UNLINK]] your [[lifekeep]]. You can read more about the REIM DEATH system by using the verb.

Why are spawns so slow/fast?
:Everything is randomly generated so it varies. To some it will be too fast and to others it will be too slow. I suggest grouping for added fun and difficulty if you find it too slow or too fast!

Why is it taking so long to get a rare spawn?
:You have a base chance to get a rare. This increases with every spawn, every ambush creature spawned on you, and every chest you search. This is evaluated per person.
:This chance resets when you pass BACK through a progression door. Example, if you move into the courtyard and hunt for 10 minutes then go back through the previous progression door your incremented rare chance resets.

I got some weird messaging and a lot of creatures came in, I DIED! What gives?
:Once in a while in each level instance you will see something like this.
<pre{{log2}}>
The ground shudders as howls of the denizens of the settlement reverberate through your mind. Wisps of ethereal energy flow from earth below, as a mass of energy strikes __________</pre>
:This is an automated invasion system that will flood those within that area, of that level instance, with creatures.

I got overwhelmed, this is too hard, what do I do?
:This is a combat quest and will hopefully be a fun challenge.
:The vortex rooms are safe rooms. There is one in each quadrant (Village, Road, Courtyard, Castle), seek them out for a safe place to rest and herb.

Is there spellburst?
:No!

Is there disarm mechanics?
:No!

Will I die?
:Yes, I hope! Hopefully you will have fun doing it too! I hope you raise your fist up into the sky and say CURSE YOU RETSER!

I died, now what?
:Take a ride on the river of life OR set your death flag to ON and it will punt you out to where you entered from.

How do I check my quest time left or until next entry?
:REIM TIME

How do I check my energy, reputation, total kills?
:REIM INFO

How do I check my achievement progress?
:REIM ACHIEVEMENT

How do I check what boosts are available?
:REIM BOOST

How do I check how far I've been flagged for? (Progression)
:REIM FLAG

There are a few buildings in the first area I can't enter, HOW CAN I?
:They aren't open and won't be open anytime soon. Ignore those!

This is hard, I keep getting hurt, what do I do?
:Buy herbs, buy friends, buy more entries!

* Decreased the level range of creatures that spawn for people level 99 and lower to make it slightly easier.
* Increased the chance for a creature to spawn when no other creatures are present.
* Increased the chance to gain more of a chance to spawn a rare per creature spawned. This should help those running solo a little bit.

A few people have contacted me about not getting anymore rares after clearing the quest.

You are unable to spawn additional rares after you kill one in that area.

There is one rare per area below.

:Village
:Road
:Courtyard
:Castle Servant Wing
:Castle Visitor Wing
:Castle Royal Chambers

Then the Emperor/Empress

* Fogging and Symbol of Return will now take you and your group back to the starting mist/vortex room.
* Fixed some instancing with the boss rooms.
* Fixed a couple of typos in the REIM verb.
* I added in a Looking for Group tool, it is rather rudimentary and in for basic testing.

When you enter Reim with your LFG flag on, it will list players who are also LFG and within +/- 10 levels.
<pre{{log3}}>
REIM GROUP

Using this command flags your character to be looking for group.
You are currently set to not looking for a group.
To change this setting you can use REIM GROUP CONFIRM.
You can also clear this setting by using REIM GROUP CLEAR.
You can also list those who are looking for group with REIM GROUP LIST.

NOTE: The Reim GROUP system will allow you to list yourself
as looking for group so you may seek out other adventurers.
You still need to meet up with each other.
Normal Reim restrictions still apply.

* Your Premium cooldown and paid cooldown are no longer tied together.
<pre{{log3}}>
When entering, you will try to use your PREMIUM cooldown before your paid entry.
If your PREMIUM entry is on cooldown then it will prompt you that it will be using a paid to enter.
With this change you should effectively have your premium time restarted for your next entry to start as your "Cooldown time"
</pre>
I hope that made sense, I'm tired.
