So I have a great starter kit for a shaman I want to give away. Full totemic(yes helm too), CGS and Sharkbone Warhammer. Not bad for a starting kit huh?!

I want to give it to a shaman 10-30. But I dont want the traditional. Random win. I want to make them work for it. Toss me some ideas. I was just gonna leave a corpse randomly in the world and make them go find it and give me the /loc. I still may do this, but if someone comes up with a better suggestion, I might use it instead!

I may do a scavenger hunt type thing as well, and have a certain time I will post the items needed and clue to the location I am at and the first to bring me all items win.

Design a quest, perhaps?

Have them bring you hand-picked berries and the sweetest creme they can find.

Then they'll throw it away, synth those same flavors, stuff it in silly putty, wrap it in toxic wax paper, and you'll dance around for it like Little Lord Fauntleroy.

Yes? No?

Bullet doesn't understand what eq is about!? Impossible....


Hold a shaman Botb!

have a few brackets of 10-15 16-20 21-25 or whatever

give out an item or 2 per winner of each bracket.

Could have a naked shaman race across some dangerous territories.

I would totally do this with my level 10 Shammy!! Love it.
But wait a minute... if I died on the way and lost level 10 - would I get instantly disqualified since I wouldn't be between 10 and 30!? Hahah! :p

I'd participate. For fun though I think it should be something that guarantees death for most, as opposed to a scavenger hunt. Cast SoW, wait until there is one minute left, and see how many specters and SG's you can pull in oasis?

Find somewhere that you can stand on with levitate, but when it wears off you slip off the cliff area and fall to your death below. Two people get levitate cast on them simultaneously and then they walk to the death area. First one to come back to safety loses

Yea thats why I wouldnt post the items or quest or what ever untill the time of the event, so there really wasnt a way of prepaing ahead of time. And ill be making an alt character to put the prizes on so people cant just find the zone im in and track me.

The corpse idea is awesome. Norrath is big enough to do this.

Hold a 15 question trivia, highest points = winner

Or have a riddle race

Spires freefall contest, go to north karana (will need a mage to summon lev rings), all contestants are to jump off the spires at the same time, and click lev ring before they hit the ground, the person that is closest to the ground without actually being on the ground, wins

gdi, was already posted a few posts ago, my bad =/

I would create a scavenger quest...

Something like they need 10 snake eggs, 5 this, 5 that.
A few items that require player interaction like weird crafted items.
A spyglass, or a widget that is an ingredient for crafting made by crafting.

A list of easy to get but off the wall items with some that require travel and player interaction.
First person to turn in items wins

You could create a poll with the contestants.

Let the server vote for who gets it.

Who ever rallies the most votes from EC zone within say 3 hours wins.

Kinda like a Vote for Pedro event where the server decides who wins and the contestants need to promote themselves.


Also guilded shamans or alts would have an advantage.

You could create a lore trivia quiz with lore about shamans and their gods.

Which ever player can research and answer the most questions correct within the deadline wins

highest score wins. If a tie it goes by turn in time. They can PM you the answers

Me personally.. I would have them send in nudes of their GF's
Who ever had the hottest GF would win.

If the player was woman she would submit pics of herself.

Silly: Link contest. Person with the best combinations of item links (i.e.: PotSmoker) wins

High Level: Person with the most fizzles before successfully casting a spell is the winner (one contestant at a time helps, this benefits those with high level spells with low skills)

Probably won't work: Give a specific item to a mob (tell them what or let them figure it out), and let the contestants to get the item themselves. You can't restrict who participates, and it could be killed by a guard depending on where you go, but something like toxxulia or dragnor's cauldron would likley be out-of-the-way enough.

Drunk races: Dispel each contestant and require they consume a specific # of alcoholic beverages (in-game obviously). Racing across kelethin could be entertaining, but has faction issues.

Not a contest: Charm a mob, give it a proccing weapon, buff it with haste, damage shield, and regen, then zone and see if you get petitioned.

Trivia is fail.
