Revision as of 16:15, 4 May 2018

A free event held May 2018. Details and teasers are not announced. Below is the information gathered so far from official forums, email announcements, and various other official communication channels.

  • Event Date will be tentatively May 11-13, 2018
  • Most expensive silvers based event for past 10 years
  • Will not have any Simucoin requirement to participate
  • Entry only to paid accounts (prime, premium, platinum)
  • No Grand Auction due to time restraints

Pricing & Surcharges

You will be able to win multiple MAJOR services with a very steep silver surcharge. That surcharge grows VERY rapidly. There are no restrictions on item and/or silver passing. The surcharge costs for Major win selection is below. Surcharge is tracked for both the account and for the item separately and are added together for total cost of the surcharge.

Cost Major Service Surcharge
NONE 1st Service
5m 2nd Service
25m 3rd Service
125m 4th Service
625m 5th Service

Example Pricing
Example One: If you are receiving your first service and the item has no prior CCF work done, the surcharge will be ZERO.
Example Two: If you are receiving your second service but the item has already had three services, your surcharge will be 5mil + 125mil = 130mil.
Example Three: If you are receiving your first service but the item has already had one service, your surcharge will be ZERO + 5m = 5m

Selection methods will be up to the merchant, but will likely be something quick like a spinner, list, or raffle. Any fees associated with the selection process do not count toward the fees of the service. The cost of services will be determined by the service you are receiving and the item properties you already have, if applicable. Item restrictions may apply on some scripted items.

Schedule

This is the tentative schedule. There are a few things that aren't on this list that need some final notes before they can be added. I don't see them not being added, but it is a possibility. Those things will be added to Friday after midnight (EDT).

FAQ

Q) Are there any costs to enter CCF?
A) No, but you must have a paid subscription. If you're F2P or on a promo, you won't be able to enter.

Q) What if my item needs to have a property removed to apply the service?
A) As long as the property is not an inherited item property (ex. white ora being holy), overwriting the property should be possible.

Q) How is this CreatureBane different than others offered?
A) This one isn't a group of creatures like Ithzir, Extraplanar, or Undead. This one specifically targets one creature archetype. Bandits and Grimswarm are considered one creature archetype in this example. But outside that you'll be picking things like war griffins (not all griffins) or Ithzir champions (not all Ithzir). Flares can be any of the common or uncommon flare choices.

Q) What spells are available for [service]?
A) I'll publish a list by Friday this week. (5/4/2018)

Q) What resistances are there?
A) Slash, crush, puncture, heat, cold, electric, plasma, disrupt, impact, balance, grapple, vacuum, acid, steam, disintegration, and nature.

Q) What does premade item mean?
A) For the weapons, you pick a weapon profile and the item is created. For the X/day items, you can pick a worn location (or not worn at all).

Q) Can I add the weight reduction script if I don't already have it?
A) Yes. You can also add the 5% to an existing one to make it even better.

Q) Can you give any prices yet?
A) Pricing is going to be difficult to share because combat effectiveness is going to play a role in how much something costs. If you have 9x wondrously crit weighted RotFlare returning axe and want to enchant that to 10x, be prepared to pay probably some of the highest silver costs you've ever witnessed. We're going to try to stabilize the cost differences between weapon profiles and armor profiles, but it won't be a flat cost. The selection process for a service will not be included in the cost of the service except for services that are auctioned. I can tell you right now, the Glamour Tattoo will be auctioned. For things with more of a flat fee, I'll try to get those out there soon.

Q) Can we get some clarity for the surcharges?
A) Okay, after thinking about all this, we're going to standardize how the surcharge works, and I'll disclose the upper tier numbers.  The surcharge is going to follow the item, not the account.  Services that are not item based will follow the character (like spell preps and tattoos).  The surcharge for multiple services to a single item/character service will be 5mil, 25m, 125m, and 625m.  After this point, if you think you can afford another one, we'll have to figure out how to proceed because banks can't hold that much silver without breaking the game.  Again, you might think the surcharge is silly, but it's a middle ground over 1 win and nothing more.

Q) Will there be any sort of item limits per account?
A) Due to the surcharge change, this is still TBD.
