Fire up those kilns and ready your hammers! The Spring 2017 Crafter’s Competition has begun! This first event will be a Gear Design Contest with other events, possibly quarterly, kicking off throughout the year.
In the last contest segment we had you capture a fight with a boss monster in the game. To survive such an intensive fight, a great deal of armor and powerful weaponry must be wielded! In this follow-up contest, we want you to design the most powerful weapons and armor you can muster.
As we receive submissions, they will be announced on Twitter and Facebook with eventually a gallery of all submissions on Facebook. If we get enough of them, we may make this a regular quarterly crafting event!
GEAR SET MUST INCLUDE…
- Crafted Weapon
- Crafted Offhand Equippable if 1-Handed weapon chosen above (ex. Shield, another 1-handed weapon, etc.)
- Crafted Complete Armor Set (Helmet, Gloves, Chest, Legs, Boots)
- Cloaks and accessories optional
SHOW YOUR WORK!
To confirm your crafty crafting skills, we require a submission with the following screenshots:
- Close-up of each item showing detailed stats and the maker’s mark (you can cut/paste each of the item shots into a collage that fits within a properly sized complete image, or if you don’t know how to do this, submit them individually as a list group for easy reference)
- Distance shot of the item/itemset with UI and you shouting in chat “Spring is in the air!”
- Distance shot of the item/itemset with NO UI in a combat/action setting (make it look good with you front and center of any action and backdrop!)
SCREENSHOT QUALITY
- Resolution: Minimum of 1920×1080, and always in 16:9 aspect ratio (you can trim if necessary).
- Quality: Use in-game settings to their maximum, no post-screenshot alterations allowed.
WINNERS & PRIZES
All screenshots must be placed in a single response posted here. Deadline to submit is 11:59pm CT end of the day on Tuesday, March 7th. Only one submission per individual or group!
Include in your submission the following items:
- All screenshots with the requirements above
- A 200 words or less introduction of you and your crafting experience
Prizes will be awarded on a tier basis. 1st place will be awarded $100 in store credit, $50 for 2nd place, and $25 for two runner-ups. Winners will be announced at the start of the Spring Telethon on March 9th around 12:30pm CT.
Have fun crafting!
