Event Mechanics

  • All events are 100% random, and do not rely on player reflexes, player ping, player stats or skills
  • These events are meant to be fun, random, and whimsical and any player participating has an equal chance of winning as any other player
  • If a player is in the middle of any King’s Faire event and either a server reboot or crash occurs, the player will be fully refunded their current event’s ticket amount when the server reboots

Event Types
Events at the King’s Faire fall into two categories: “Best Score” and “Victory Count”

Best Score Events

  • Best Score events cost 2 Tickets to play
  • Players can play each of these Best Score event up to 5 times per day (per IP address)
  • When a player competes in a Best Score event, at the end of the event they will be given a score
  • If a player’s score beats their own previous best score, it will become their new best score, and will be displayed on the scoreboard
  • Players can click the “Show My Player” button to see where they are currently at on the scoreboard

Victory Count Events

  • Victory Count events cost 1 Ticket to play
  • Players can play each of these individual events up to 10 times per day (per IP address)
  • For most Victory Count events, players will either Win or Lose the event, with wins increasing the player’s cumulative scoreboard value for the event by 1
  • For some events like Dunk Tank, players have the potential to earn multiple “wins” by dunking the target multiple times in a single event
  • Players can click the “Show My Player” button to see where they are currently at on the scoreboard

Rewards

Individual Events

  • When the King’s Faire ends, the Top 3 players (including ties) for each individual event will earn either a Bronze, Silver, or Gold Reward item unique to the event

[EventScore Overall Score

  • Players who participate in the King’s Faire will also have a [EventScore value for themselves that represents their overall performance for the King’s Faire as a whole throughout the week
  • For each event, players earn (1000 x Rank %) points towards their EventScore, where their Rank % is their (current place / total number of players) in the event
  • For instance, a player in 1st place for the Joust will earn 1000 points towards their EventScore from the event, whereas a player in 25th out of 50 total players (50% rank) would earn 500 points towards their Event Score
  • At the end of the week, players will be assigned a final [EventScore based on their performance in all events combined

[EventScore Rewards

  • When the King’s Faire ends, players will earn Bronze, Silver, or Gold Trophies for Overall Score if they meet certain [EventScore rank % thresholds

Shady Fortune Teller

  • Players have the opportunity to visit a Shady Fortune Teller in the Northwest area of the fairgrounds
  • Players can either double-click the NPC or say “Fortune”, “Tell”, or “Fate” to access them

  • Players can only have their fortune told once every 6 hours, but the bonus received will NOT expire if the player dies
  • The vision the player will see will occur once a randomized amount of time has passed since receiving the fortune (30 to 180 minutes) and only while the player is online and alive, and while they are not in the Arena, Strangelands, or participating in a PvP event (the vision will wait until they conclude those events and/or leave the area)
