The Rules

You must qualify as a questor by being one of the first 20 people to have completed the Qualification Race.

You must be available for the 3 days over which the quest will take place.

You must not switch characters during the entire duration of the event.

You may not tamper with the clues as they will also be needed for the other questors.

You must have access to the following facets: Trammel, Ilshenar and Felucca.

You must respect the TOS at all times as well as act in accordance with the rulesets of each facet.

You must perform the quest with your team and wear the robe of your team throughout the entire event.

You are allowed to ask for external assistance from other players at any point in time, whether crafters, merchants, hunters or PvPers.

You are free to hire anyone at any point in time to help you advance in the quest. You are also free to buy from other players any item that you may be required to provide in the course of the quest rather than obtain it by your own means. In all cases, any spending you may incur will have to be at your own expense.

If you are unable to stay until the end of the quest, should your team be the first to complete the tasks at hand, the reward will be equally divided among those present at the completion of the quest. If you leave early, you automatically forfeit your share.

All clues will be provided in game. Any tasks you may be asked to perform, any riddle or puzzle will have its solution within game or be related to a known notion of the game.

To qualify as a questors, you must first and foremost be one of the 20 first people to have completed the Qualification Race held one week before the actual quest. There are no registration fee (or otherwise) for neither the scavenger hunt nor the quest.

The questors will be divided in teams of 5. Each team will be given a robe of a very specific color that must be worn throughout the quest so you can easily be identified (sorry for those who wear vet robes, but I'm sure you will survive a 3 phys resist loss). The character you choose to play the quest with will have to remain the same throughout the entire event. You may not switch chars at any time during the quest. Any one person caught switching chars will be automatically disqualified. There are no specific skill requirements to participate in the quest, but the character you use should be able to PvM and PvP. Once you have qualified as a questor and been assigned to a team, it is strongly suggested that you discuss with your other 5 teammates which template they will use so your team may try to encompass as many skills as possible that could come in handy during the event. The character you use for the quest may be different from the one you used for the scavenger hunt.

While you may not switch chars and must perform the quest as a team, you are free on call friends for assistance or any other person whose path you may cross during the course of the quest. Should you be asked to perform certain tasks for which none of your teammates have the required skill, you may "hire" a third party to help you with this task. This includes any tradesman, hunter or PvPer to protect you during your travels in Felucca. Please note that the term "hire" is used freely in this context as these helpers may offer their services freely. Should they require payment for their assistance, it will be for the team to cover those fees with your own money.

You are free to use any means necessary to accomplish the task at hand, as long as you respect the rules of the TOS provided by OSI as well as the ruleset applying to each facet. For example, if you wish to slow down a rival team, you may lure monsters onto them in Felucca, but performing a similar action in Trammel or Ilshenar is a bannable offense. So please act accordingly. If you are requested to provide a certain item, you can either acquire it on your own or buy it from someone else.

As the quest will take place in 3 facets (Trammel, Ilshenar and Felucca), all questors must have the LBR or AoS client. Because of the locations of some of the tasks, the character you will use must be blue.

The quest will take place over a 3-day period: Friday evening, Saturday afternoon and Sunday afternoon. So you must be available for all 3 days in order not to cripple your team. At the end of each day, the last character of the quest you will meet will inform you the night draws near and you should raise you camp for the night. This means even if you have received the clue as to the next task you should perform, there is no point going there until the next day because you will not find the character you must speak to nor the items you are to retrieve there, if any. The time for the quest to resume on the next day will be specified to you prior the beginning of the quest itself.
