EDIT: New take on the event thanks to Heim:

Although the idea you have does give me an idea for a possible spin off.
Take gear: to a special NPC (gear can be gotten 1 per day via quest, or purchased from kafra shop)

NPC spam upgrades it until it breaks, where you failed is how many "points" that char gets. If you get high enough you get instant prizes. Points could be spent on some sort of daily prizes (not eden merit badges as those have too much value for a free repeatable giveaway.).

This is quite a good take on the event. It allows you to save up points for the higher tier items! A point system, that is dependent on how many tries you make, will get people to upgrade at +0. Then you could give them 1 point per upgrade attempt and extra at breaking the item on the 5th attempt and higher in a similar fashion:

Refine rate		Points per attempt	Points if upgrade ends here	Cumulative points
+1			1			N/A				1
+2			1			N/A				2
+3			1			N/A				3
+4			1			N/A				4
+5			1			1				6
+6			1			1				8
+7			1  			2				11
+8			1			3				14
+9			1			4				19
+10			1			5				25

As for rewards you can do something like this:

Points	Reward
1 	1 Ygg berry
5	Set of event pet tames or accessory for event pet
10	1 OCA
15	2 random +4~+7 Upgrade Certificates
20	1 random +8~+10 Upgrade Certificate

Original idea and post.

Look at this

http://ro.tahadi.com/en/node/755

I would totally try upgrading a cash shop headgear to +7 so I can trade it for a +6 chain!

Suddenly iRO staff seem like the biggest pros regarding RO knowledge there is right?

If you ever feel like iRO is doin soemthing wrong, just check the newest patch notes on tahadi

aRO's upgrade event is really inspiring! The way they implement it though is less than desirable; however, the idea is great!

iRO should so steal this idea and make it better!

1) make a special event headgear that can be obtained easily by either event monster or repeatable quest. Also sold in kafra shop for those who prefer to spend their money instead of their time.
2) make a special upgrade NPC that uses normal Elunium and 5000z (Make sure the NPC checks if this headgear is equipped or not before attempting to upgrade).
3) since NPC's can detect refinement levels of upgrade and success/failure we can give out prizes accordingly. Something similar to this:

Refine rate		Failed Reward				Success Reward will give failure reward + the following
+5			Gift Box				Old Blue Box
+6			Poring Box				Old Navy Box
+7			Old Violet Box  			Taming Set	
+8			Old Card Album				Jewelry box
+9			Upgrade Certificates (to +5 ~ +7)	Bloody Branchs
+10			Upgrade Certificates (to +8 ~ +10)	Mystical Card Album

4) For those who want to upgrade even more a different or same npc with different option can attemp upgrades +11 to +20 using normal Carnium and 100000z (Make sure the NPC checks if this headgear is equipped or not before attempting to upgrade).

Refine rate		Failed Reward				Success Reward
+11			?					?
+12			?					?
+13			?					?
+14			?					?
+15			?					?
+16			?					?
+17			?					?
+18			?					?
+19			?					?
+20			?					MVP Card Album

This would probably encourage more upgrading going on.

[Tsurugi]

I like this.

[Krispin]

+20
mvp card album

I think you mean a hundred mvp card albums.
Because that's the difficulty of getting to +20.

[Clogon]

This would probably encourage more upgrading going on.

Isn't that the point of an upgrading event? At least this isn't as broken as the previous free GR or Hatii card for everyone that +10 a red wing hat. XD

[CeruleanGamer]

+1!!!! Clogon is always so creative.

[Myzery]

I would rather have some of the failure items over the success items.

[Clogon]

the success gives the failure items too!

[Myzery]

the success gives the failure items too!

That's pretty damn awesome.

[Clogon]

The point of this is for people to attempt more upgrades! They can exchange their event headgear for the any of the "failure" rewards at 100% chance and have a chance of gaining the success reward and a higher tier reward as well. If people want to pay to pre-emptively get a higher tier reward, it's fine because everyone knows how difficult it is to make a +9 or 10 headgear even with the HD Elu's.

[Aeroku]

its a good idea

but just my random thoughts; perhaps replacing some items with supplies like some WSS or something like that would be great too. not sure how that'll work but it can definitely work as different kind of a 'raffle' (gravity gets money, ro economy gets help with supplies)

[Clogon]

Well I am not saying the rewards should be what I posted. I just posted an example of what I deemed appropriate. If you want other things just post it up!. As long as it is not game breaking (let the GM's do that =P), then it should be fine!

[KataiKou]

Interesting stuff, but I don't know if I would upgrade past +4 without Enriched Elunium. I'm not sure a gift box is worth losing a 5 million zeny hat. It would really have to be a hat I don't care about (which is hard with brownie points), or the prize has got to be really good.

Edited by KataiKou, 13 September 2011 - 11:20 AM.

[Clogon]

Again the prize I posted are just examples. I had the intention of the headgear being just useless fodder for the upgrades until the end of the upgrade event. And only after the event will it have an effect.

[Mefistofeles]

mvp card only should be get by killing the mvp

[CeruleanGamer]

Epic bump for mods/GMs to see.

[LordVader]

Threads like this make me wonder if I would go gay for clogon, probably so.

Another great suggestion imo.

[DeltaRay]

apperently I + 1 you already nice idea.

[Intrigue]

Threads like this make me wonder if I would go gay for clogon

LOL. +20 would be impossible, sadly.

[Scott]

The upgrade rewards are too great for Level 1 and 2 weapons. Would need to only work on level 3 and 4 weapons.

[Clogon]

@Scott:
I think you missed the first point:

1) make a special event headgear that can be obtained easily by either event monster or repeatable quest. Also sold in kafra shop for those who prefer to spend their money instead of their time.

[Intrigue]

The upgrade rewards are too great for Level 1 and 2 weapons. Would need to only work on level 3 and 4 weapons.

It would be a headgear.

[Scott]

Oh right. I only looked at what I thought were the important parts. That said, unless the hat was useful, it'd be a mostly meaningless event.

It's just only the beginning. Effort's effectiveness in Alberta Square has beefed up developement, after the celebration of the New Age. Private Corp recently purchased Dock space in Alberta, and is currently reattempting establishment of Shiplines operating, Supply-lines, Factory Line Output, New and Created goods to shops fulfilling inventory, War Idems & Battle Rebuilding Supplies (To Guilds beginning with castles), Blackmarket Outpost, Rare Goods escorted to Bidding Locations, never announced, dued to security reasons that will put the treasure's understanding in a gambling situation.
But here's the bad news...It can be authorized by Private Corp & The Capital Knights, never the less, contructive life-form and organizing tactics may be maintained by Game Traveler's employment, and a steady fee of course.

(All is on standby until the Morroc Dynasty is revive first)
I agree, things are definitely working out differently interesting.
