Official Announcement

4.gif Zombie Yeomen!
31 Jul 2012

It is a dark day. On this day, many years ago, the beloved Royal Family of Albiton were brought low by the insidious attack of a nameless Necromancer. The Albiton Family had potent Alchemists, who worked wonders with their potions. The Necromancer, fearful of this power, poisoned the Yeoman Guard of the Royal Household and raised their dead bodies. Thus the Royal House of Albiton fell. Trapped in their own towers with their own undead Guards preying upon them.

Now, the Yeomen have risen again across the land. The Warrior of the Realms must destroy them. If you aid in this task, you can earn the potions of the fallen House.

The latest Global Event in Fallen Sword is now underway! In the Event, the Community must work together to destroy the Zombie Yeomen infesting the Realms.

Each player must earn a personal target for increasingly powerful potion rewards (mouse over the event info on the World page for more details) while also helping the Community to attain the best total kills possible, unlocking the rewards for all.

To this end, we have also introduced the Global Booster buff, available in potion form from the Loyalty Page. This acts similarily to the Doubler skill, but multiplies your contribution per kills instead of the xp / gold.

Additionally, for the Top Three Contributors to the Community Total, they will receive an exclusive custom Avatar for the game drawn by our artist Forn!

The Event shall be live until 17:00 (Server Time) on Saturday the 4th of August.

Comments

Changes were made to this global quest which affected the rewards available to each player.

As the community reached each successive tier, they unlocked a different reward chest. Thus, when the bronze tier was reached, the Battered Peasant Chest was unlocked, while reaching the silver tier unlocked the Plain Commoners Chest.

However, the actual chests received by each individual depended on their actual participation in the event. Instead of the single qualifying number of kills in past events, there were a series of personal tiers that needed to be met to reach each level:


Tier Kills Reward(s)
  • Bronze Tier
  • Silver Tier
  • Gold Tier
  • Crystal Tier
  • Ruby Tier
  • 500
  • 1,000
  • 2,000
  • 3,000
  • 4,000
  • 1 x Battered Peasant Chest
  • 1 x Plain Commonors Chest
  • 1 x Studded Merchants Chest
  • 2 x Padded Nobles Chest
  • 4 x Emblazoned Royal Chest

The reward for unlocking the ruby tier was initially stated to be "3 x Emblazoned Royal Chest". This was increased to "4 x Emblazoned Royal Chest" later, when the threshold for Ruby tier was also increased from 12.5 million to 15 million kills.


In order to receive a given reward, two conditions needed to be met:

  1. The chest in question needed to have been unlocked by the Fallen Sword Community reaching the specified tier.
  2. The individual must have personally reached the specified tier.


Thus, if the community reached the ruby tier, unlocking the Emblazoned Royal Chest, but the player only killed 3,000 of the quest creatures (Crystal tier), they would qualify for the crystal reward, not the ruby reward. And if the community only reached the crystal tier, no players could receive the ruby tier reward, regardless of how many quest creatures they had personally killed.

Rewards were not cumulative. A participating player could receive 3 Emblazoned Royal Chests or 2 Padded Nobles Chests or 1 Studded Merchants Chest, but not all of them.

A further change to this Global Quest was the addition of "Global Booster" potions, available for gold or loyalty points through the Loyalty Rewards Page. These acted like the Doubler buff in that thet caused the player to expend more stamina per attack, but instead of returning extra gold and xp, they caused the individual's kill count to be multiplied:
