The month of August begins with a brand new Seasonal challenge from Twixxi, which will take over as a guest spot in the Kenorland rotation. Plus, regular updates to guilds and horsemen quests!
Seasonal: A quest for Funky Dance Moves!
Take it away, Twixxi!
The (lesser known) Explorer's Guild invites you to take part in a special treasure hunt this month!
A new, naturally generated 1.19 world is now available on the Seasonal server. The fifteen different Music Discs have been removed from where you'd usually find them and scattered across the Overworld, Nether and End. You'll need to decipher the clues provided and then go look for them. They might be found in certain structures, be held by certain mobs, or even require you to complete a certain action!
What you need to know!
- Head to Central's TransHub, right next to the train station and TARDIS in Central, to access the Seasonal server.
- When you first log into the Seasonal server you will be given a Guidebook containing all of the clues. You can always get another copy either from spawn or by using the command
/trigger guide
. You can also view the clues in the Advancements menu. - You will earn one point for each different disc that you pick up, with a maximum of 15 points for finding all the discs. If you find the same disc more than once, you'll only get a point the first time.
- Whenever you pick up a music disc it will immediately vanish. This means you won't be able to collect a disc for another player.
- Players may cooperate on the survival aspects of the challenge (sharing resources, fighting together, etc), however if you choose to explore structures together, remember that you may not find enough discs for both of you!
- Subtle clues are okay, but giving people outright solutions to the locations of music discs is strongly discouraged.
- A Dynmap of the Seasonal server is available here. You might find this useful when trying to find certain biomes. Remember however that loot chests do not regenerate their contents, so if you go to a structure that's already been looted you might not find any discs.
- You have until the end of Events Night on Sunday 21st August to find as many discs as possible! After that you will not be able to earn any more points. Inventories will then be synched until the end of August to allow you to transfer any materials you have gathered over to the main survival worlds.
Prizes!
Prizes will be awarded based on how many Music Discs you find. A preview of all prizes can be viewed at the Spawn building on the Seasonal server. There is no first place, second place, etc in this event - everyone has the chance to earn the top prize!
Prizes will be awarded as follows:
- 15 Discs Found: 100x Explorer's Guild Token, Master Explorer Insignia, 3x Explorer's Potion IV (Speed IV, Night Vision IV, Conduit Power IV, 40 mins), 20 Merit Points
