I anticipated people will hate the system and that's fine, because those who hate the system aren't the intended audience.

However, if you wish to push for quests to be added as actual leveling options, you can submit your ideas to the Gramps and Adventurer's Guild feedback thread: https://forums.warpp...eedback-thread/

The Bounty Boards Project is done. If you want to usurp the project from me, that's up to the iRO team if they want to do that to me again. You'll have to come up with a compelling reason to take an idea from the person who put the work into getting it approved and deny their right to it after waiting for 5 long years to see it completed.


Slightly taken aback by the response. I read back through the thread, the comment that resonates the most is level ranges.

ZeroTigress, I respect the work you’ve done, I mentioned it before. I don’t think anyone “hates” the system. People were just accustomed to the previous one because they enjoyed it. If anything people took it as a leveling option and anyone could have seen it as such. Even people who did not play iRO enjoyed the bounty board system and also enjoyed it as I progressed through them and talked joyfully about them. Wish you had at least seen the streams before you thought anyone would hate your system.

The only reason I ask if this was the final product was because people keep asking about the level ranges, they like the system, it is clear they do, they just wanted to ask if adjustment to the already made system was possible because it worked for them as well.

And no, I do not want to usurp the project from you (that would be extremely rude, disrespectful and spiteful). No one wants to do that. The project has been great so far, the only true thing I seen people talk about is the level ranges, even here people mentioned it. As for compelling reasons, what kind of person would do that? If it’s your project we respect it, all we wanted was to be able to provide feedback and be heard since you’re the creator of this project. That was really all we wanted for the most part.

But if this is what it will be, then I think I have the answers I needed. Thanks for taking the time to reply though ZeroTigress

Welp. Now i just feel guilty for commenting on this thread cos it looks like people are attacking him, I guess there was no point of discussing it in the first place and asking if there can be tweaks about it cos it just sounded like we here to destroy his project. Oh well.

I'm sorry people feel the way they do about this project. You are not the first people to suggest level ranges for the sake of mimicking Gramps, nor will you be the last. https://forums.warpp...-test-feedback/ And there have been plenty of people that have tried to wrest the whole thing from me and kick me to the curb in the early years of the project, despite me doing all the dirty work to even get it approved. Many players that have tried to get custom content like the Bounty Boards implemented on iRO ended up giving up because of iRO staff and the community. I became one of the rare exceptions that managed to stick around long enough to see such a project through, and so I've accumulated hatred in the community because of it. There have even been attacks on the Ragnarok Wiki over this, so I can't afford to be nice to those demanding changes to a system that wasn't meant for them. There's no room for thin skin when it comes to getting something like this implemented.

The system not being meant for us (read "us" as veteran players/speed levelers) does not mean we can't make use of it.

Real question tho, is there even a relevant amount of new players in a game which the population seems to be decreasing each day? I think it's fairly unreasonable of you to say "oh I don't care for your opinion because this was not meant for you".

(sidenote I'm very much worried that the game might not make a comeback after the big update, since it will be closed down for two months, and our population will be even smaller)

 

I don't think anyone complained, for example, of the EXP bounty or Zeny reward. This system is still very much usable, specially because level grinding is such a pain in the butt. If I may say, one of the reasons I have stick to iRO is because I really feel like I can level so much faster and clear other contents (like instances) much sooner.

 

The major complaint is for the inconsistency of some bounty board level ranges *cough* scaraba and bio3/4 *cough*. So why not take this in consideration?

After 5 long years of beta testing, the Bounty Boards Project is now complete and officially launched. Many thanks to everyone who participated in the unnecessarily extensive beta testing of this ambitious project. This system has since been imitated on other official servers, but never duplicated.

Story

Tool Dealers from Prontera, Geffen, and Alberta gathered in Prontera's tavern to lament their recent hardships.

"I've been running low on monster materials to offer locals since the adventurers haven't been selling much to me," cries the Prontera Tool Dealer.

"Yeah, and there's so many more monsters roaming about since Satan Morocc broke free," adds the Geffen Tool Dealer.

"Why don't you guys offer bounties for those monsters and loots?" wonders the Alberta Tool Dealer.

"Bounties?" repeats the Prontera Tool Dealer.

"Yeah, we've been doing it for years," continues the Alberta Tool Dealer. "Why, just the other day, we had a Rune Knight and Soul Linker come in with a massive Faceworm tooth. And they took care of the Faceworm Queen, too. Haven't had a problem traveling through Payon Forest since."

"That's ingenious," exclaims the Geffen Tool Dealer. "I'd love to be able to travel between here and Geffen with less monsters to deal with."

"I've got quite a few monsters in mind for my bounty ads," says the Prontera Tool Dealer thoughtfully.

The Alberta Tool Dealer helps the Prontera and Geffen Tool Dealers compile their bounty boards, selecting monsters that have been most problematic in each area and deciding on a Zeny rate to reward the adventurers. Once word got out about their project, other Tool Dealers in towns across Midgard hop onto the idea and open their own bounty boards. (Rumor has it that Lighthalzen's Tool Dealer may have some connection to a mysterious organization, hence their odd bounty requests.) Soon every Tool Dealer in Midgard, Jotunheim, and even Alfheim had regional bounty boards to entice adventurers from all over.

How it Works

  • Bounty Boards will usually be found near a town's tool shop. However, there are some Tool Dealers that have decided to set up their boards elsewhere in their respective towns and cities. Consider the lore of a town to figure out where the Tool Dealer's Bounty Boards will be.
  • Boards are separated in tiers of 20ish levels to fit with the 15-level restriction for EXP earnings in a party.
  • You can only accept quests from Bounty Boards that you are within the level range of. However, if you level past the level range after hunting your chosen monsters, you will still be able to turn your kills in to the board you accepted it from.
  • You will be paid 100 Zeny x Monster Level for each monster you turn in. The economy hasn't been going so well for Tool Dealers.
  • Eden Merit Badges (EMBs) will be rewarded upon every 4th turn in, regardless of the monster chosen. So if you choose to hunt the same monster 4 times in a row, you will get an EMB.
Happy hunting, and may Ullr and Skadi smile upon you!
