'''Duskruin Arena''' premiered in 2015 as the first "unattended" pay quest, meaning no GM intervention was required to start the quest. Players purchased entry from the [[SimuCoin]] Store for 100 SimuCoins (as little as $0.74 cents). The event was free to watch.

During the quest players accumulate "[[Bloodscrip]]" (similar to [[Blackscrip]]) to redeem from a list of prizes.

'''Duskruin Arena''' serves as the namesake of the bi-annual [[:Category:Duskruin|Duskruin]] event and is one of the activities available which allows characters the opportunity to gain [[bloodscrip]].
==Release Announcement==

Tucked away in seclusion near the [[Locksmehr River]] is place known as Bloodriven Village. Notorious to bandits, outlaws, and ruffians to congregate and do business. Located underground from the village, the infamous Duskruin Arena is a place of blood sports among the brave. Earn special scrip to buy a wealth of prizes. Many new items will be debuted at Bloodriven Village, such as scarring razors, pet rats, whisper cloaks, garrote knives, nerve staves, and much more! Be sure to stop out and view the interesting locales and people of Bloodriven Village!

Rumor has it, some couriers who smuggled goods and combatants into the village were ransacked. They were carrying coin pouches with bloodscrip and dueling slips, as well as simple handbills, to deliver to known fences around Elanthia. Be on the look out to find them in treasure chests while you hunt!

<div {{prettydiv}}>
Duskruin has piqued a lot of questions since it was first mentioned at [[SimuCon]] 2014. It was originally slated for the spring time last year, but we decided to change up the venue on the event and try something new. So let me explain what this event is.

The event is free to be a spectator. You can come and go as much as you please. There are some sights and places to rest should you just like a place to roleplay. About 99.9% of all things for sale are priced with bloodscrip. To earn bloodscrip you can compete in the arena or search for loot in the sewers. To enter either of these, you will need a dueling slip or gold rat token. Both of these items will be in the SimuCoin store for 100 SimuCoins.

You can go as much as you'd like, but will need a new dueling slip or gold rat token for each trip in. We have a large number of newly created items for sale. Brand new scripts and some really interesting things. Currently, we don't have any ways to upgrade gear or unlock anything, but it will likely be something down the road that we do. So you can either spend your bloodscrip or save it for a later use.

The arena is a PvE combat sequence with 5 levels of combat. You start off fighting beasts until you make it to the last round where you fight a champion. You have 5 minutes per round to defeat each level. As the timer ticks away, you will run into more environmental hazards in the arena, such as being slammed into a spiked wall or having arrows shot at you. Defeating the beast in a timely fashion will earn you bonus bloodscrip to your prize cache. Should you defeat the champion, you'll also earn a temporary title of Champion until you log out. If you're defeated, you'll lose half the bloodscrip you earned. If you merely run out of time, you'll just earn the bloodscrip that you were credited for until then. You can WATCH combatants as a spectator much like you could at [[Droughtman's Challenge|Droughtman's Maze Challenge]]. You can WATCH LIST to see a list of people in the arena at any time, and even CHEER them on. You can also YELL to those fighting!

The sewers are like a large-scaled Deserted Cottage from [[Ebon Gate]]. You go inside and just have to search around. You get 10 to 12 searches before you'll be washed out. You have a time limit of one hour to do this. You mostly find bloodscrip, but can find random loot, or if you're lucky enough, a rat. You can only catch one rat per time Duskruin Arena is around, which currently is a weekend at a time. The rats are amazing little pets created by GM Keios. The catch is, the rat is in a random location inside the sewers, and there are about 100 rooms. To add to the hunt, the sewers are constantly shifting, so it will be difficult to find it running around aimlessly. There are clues to know which way to go or if you're in the correct spot. That's up to you to figure out.

Bloodscrip will be a physical item you can REDEEM. But if you are defeated in the arena, the bloodscrip are added to your total, much like Troubled Waters. You can trade the physical bloodscrip you find, but you cannot trade after they are redeemed or applied to you. You will need to REDEEM them to be able to make purchased at the shops, they do not work like a promissory note.

The original design concept was created by GM Scrimge and arena/sewer mechanics were by GM Wyrom. GMs Haliste, Keios, Liia, Luneth, Scrimge, Reidyn, Valyrka, and Wyrom all created shops. GMs Haliste, Liia, Mazreth, Scrimge, and Wyrom all had a hand in painting the area. GMs Aulis, Haliste, Kaikala, Krellis, Sherlise, Spalt, and Vanah were huge helps with [[QC]] and testing, as well as various last minute needs to help get this out.

We will likely be beta testing this event in Platinum, with free dueling slips and gold rat tokens, next week. More details will be posted in Platinum in the coming days. Feel free to post your questions, concerns, or excitement in this topic.

'''[The Cover Up, Women's Room]'''


==General Information==
Adventurers can opt to fight in solo matches, or join with up to four peers and fight team matches against an equal number of opponents. Each [[SimuCoin|parchment stamped voucher]], by itself or from a '''stamped voucher booklet''', offers entry into the arena for up to 25 rounds. Additionally, those who run the solo arena can choose to battle in an [[Duskruin Arena#Endless|endless]] match. {{boldmono|[[PRAY]]}} for [[stamina]] and [[mana]] recovery, but there are dangers if used more than 3 times (solo).


===Location===
The arena is located on the eastern side of [[Bloodriven Village]], in the middle of Faida Lane (room 12 on the [[Media:Fest-duskruin-updated-2021.png|map]]).


===Matches===
''On the petite female mannequin:''
* '''Solo''' - Participants entering the arena for a solo standard match will face a total of 25 combatants, with every fifth round featuring either a champion or an automaton.
{| {{prettytable}}
** '''Endless''' - Available only to solo combatants, Endless arena matches begin after the final champion is beaten in during the standard match. No additional bloodscrip is awarded for these matches. Can be activated with {{boldmono|DUSKRUIN ENDLESS}}.
!bgcolor=#DDDDDD|Item
* '''Team''' - Groups of up to 5 can run team battles in the Arena, and will be faced with an equal number of opponents to those entering. Team matches no longer offer bonus bloodscrip.

* '''[[Metal]] ores''' - Should a (metal) automaton appear in place of a standard champion during a match, an ore of that same type will be available in addition to the arena winnings.
* '''[[Experience]]''' - Experience is gained from both killing each opponent, and successful completion of all 25 rounds.
* '''[[Experience orb]]s''' - These can be rubbed to gain an additional boost to to experience earned, either as a flat amount, or as a multiplying modifier.
* '''[[WPS smithy]] invite''' - Weight/Pad/Sight your weapons or armor at the WPS smithy in [[Bloodriven Village]]. You will not receive an invite if you already have one. Using the {{boldmono|EVENT STATS DUSKRUIN}} command will show your invite status.

Introduced in February 2022, there is an option to change your preferred standard reward. This only applies to the [[Items]] heading listed above, as you will still receive your normal bloodscrip and any of the other possible random rewards listed above.

==Areas of Interest==
===The Celestial Temple===
Introduced during the April 2016 run of [[:Category:Duskruin|Duskruin]], the '''Celestial Temple''' offered additional background information for [[Bloodriven Village]] and [[Duskruin Arena]] and is tied to the collectible system for [[MoonShard pendant]]s. It continues to serve as the place to join completed moons to a pendant and is also where the '''dwarven archaeologist''' can be found to trade [[bloodrune|flat etched stones]] for bloodscrip.


The Temple holds many secrets within its walls and offers a way to get a [[Bloodrune Holder]] if one can figure out its puzzle.

Duskruin Arena serves as the namesake of the bi-annual Duskruin event and is one of the activities available which allows characters the opportunity to gain bloodscrip.

General Information

Adventurers can opt to fight in solo matches, or join with up to four peers and fight team matches against an equal number of opponents. Each parchment stamped voucher, by itself or from a stamped voucher booklet, offers entry into the arena for up to 25 rounds. Additionally, those who run the solo arena can choose to battle in an endless match. PRAY for stamina and mana recovery, but there are dangers if used more than 3 times (solo).

Location

The arena is located on the eastern side of Bloodriven Village, in the middle of Faida Lane (room 12 on the map).

Matches

  • Solo - Participants entering the arena for a solo standard match will face a total of 25 combatants, with every fifth round featuring either a champion or an automaton.
    • Endless - Available only to solo combatants, Endless arena matches begin after the final champion is beaten in during the standard match. No additional bloodscrip is awarded for these matches. Can be activated with DUSKRUIN ENDLESS.
  • Team - Groups of up to 5 can run team battles in the Arena, and will be faced with an equal number of opponents to those entering. Team matches no longer offer bonus bloodscrip.

Prizes

When your arena match ends, you will automatically receive the bloodscrip you earned, possibly a WPS smithy invite, and a loot package.

  • Bloodscrip - Maximum achievable amount for solo runs is 300. There is no longer a bonus for completing a team match. The formula for bloodscrip earned is: [10 * Rounds Completed] with an additional 50 bonus for completing all 25 rounds.
  • Items - One weapon, armor, shield, or enhancive jewelry item will also be found in your package, unless you change your preferred loot using the DUSKRUIN REWARD command (see below).
  • Metal ores - Should a (metal) automaton appear in place of a standard champion during a match, an ore of that same type will be available in addition to the arena winnings.
  • Experience - Experience is gained from both killing each opponent, and successful completion of all 25 rounds.
  • Experience orbs - These can be rubbed to gain an additional boost to to experience earned, either as a flat amount, or as a multiplying modifier.
  • WPS smithy invite - Weight/Pad/Sight your weapons or armor at the WPS smithy in Bloodriven Village. You will not receive an invite if you already have one. Using the EVENT STATS DUSKRUIN command will show your invite status.
  • Titles - Different titles are earned based on certain thresholds met in the arena.

Introduced in February 2022, there is an option to change your preferred standard reward. This only applies to the Items heading listed above, as you will still receive your normal bloodscrip and any of the other possible random rewards listed above.

Use the DUSKRUIN REWARD command to toggle between them:

  • DUSKRUIN REWARD LOOT: Receive loot rewards. (Default Setting)
  • DUSKRUIN REWARD EXP: Receive instant exp rewards. (15 Experience, instantly absorbed)
  • DUSKRUIN REWARD SCRIP: Receive extra bloodscrip rewards. (10 extra bloodscrip)

Areas of Interest

The Celestial Temple

Introduced during the April 2016 run of Duskruin, the Celestial Temple offered additional background information for Bloodriven Village and Duskruin Arena and is tied to the collectible system for MoonShard pendants. It continues to serve as the place to join completed moons to a pendant and is also where the dwarven archaeologist can be found to trade flat etched stones for bloodscrip.

The Temple holds many secrets within its walls and offers a way to get a Bloodrune Holder if one can figure out its puzzle.

Additionally, the WPS smithy, forging slab smelter, and Bloodforge can be found within the Temple. The Duskruin Dig (discontinued) was located here during its runs.

Bank

The bank can be found in the upper most level of the Arena and allows adventurers the ability to deposit or withdraw based on the bank of the town travelled from to reach Duskruin.

Spectator Seats

Duskruin Arena offers areas to WATCH the various bouts and cheer or jeer for any contestant. 2021 saw the addition of more seating in the Cheap Seats, which also offer some food and drinks.
