March's spading bounty
This one's worth a big prize (provided by an exiting player), so I'm going to make the puzzle itself challenging. Here ya go:
Five there are that are not known,
one of six is all that's shown.
Other games might have one more,
but here that's when rest's in store.
Benefits each across the field,
name all five to win a shield.

Re: March's spading bounty
How about hidden stats: Offense, Defense, To-hit, Dodge and hmm... initiative. Or Offense, Defense, To-hit, Dodge and Damage absorption. I'm not sure how they fit the riddle but they are hidden.
Re: March's spading bounty
Count 'em, Bob, that's 6 answers. If you're right, you'd have to remove one, the day it is. So I suppose that means Ryme'd take the answer depending on what day it currently is. It's Winsday, btw :p

Re: March's spading bounty
I'm pretty sure I've figured it out. Sort of. Anyway, are mods allow to enter?
Re: March's spading bounty
One of six is all that's shown
-Weapon Damage is the only one that shows up
Benefits each across the field
-The mechanics for combat benefit each other
Name all five to win a shield
-Offense, To Hit, Dodge, Defense, and Initiative

Re: March's spading bounty
it's a spading bounty, so either we have to figure out what each one actually does, or there's a recipe to be spaded. it's not gonna be something we already know. it's a riddle, but still a bounty nontheless
=D
Re: March's spading bounty
My point wasn't that he's wrong (or right), but I do see the places where it matches up. I was saying he had 6 answers instead of 5, which means we were missing another part. It could be Frayday's length, I suppose. I had figured it for being the day it is, as that's 'shown'.Valera wrote:Actually, I'll back up Bob on that. It's what I originally guessed an hour after the bounty went up [not in thread, as I"m not looking to win]. Reread the riddle again: There's 6, one is known, 5 are not.

Re: March's spading bounty
Actually, selling one of each ultra rare at current prices would leave you very, very short of being able to buy an Aegis. Those things are super expensive.

Re: March's spading bounty
All ultra-rares have the same drop rate: 100%.
Perhaps you mean the rate of occurrence, which is unknown for all ultra-rares.

Correction: 200%. Wouldn't want anyone getting screwed over by a penalty.Muhandes wrote:All ultra-rares have the same drop rate: 100%.
Re: March's spading bounty
Psh. I'd write an overwrite code for UR's. You know some bastard's gonna wait till -100% is possible, then get a guaranteed no-drop and complain. We only need 90% more!
Re: March's spading bounty
That number is wrong. We already have another unspaded -items, Red Eyes. Only 90-X% more!Satan wrote:Psh. I'd write an overwrite code for UR's. You know some bastard's gonna wait till -100% is possible, then get a guaranteed no-drop and complain. We only need 90% more!
Edit: Ooops, another mistake. As item drop% is multiplicative you only need -50%, so only 40-X % more!
Re: March's spading bounty
Ah, right, forgot about that :/ But I thought -50% means droprate*.5, and if droprate is 200, that'd only get it to 100. Which is obviously guaranteed. We could risk a 75, but -100% would be the only way to get a 0. In fact -100% gets a 0 on everything unless I'm mistaken about how it's working.

Re: March's spading bounty
Heh, Ryme got mad that people kept figuring them out so quickly he made one that guaranteed a long time to spade.

Re: March's spading bounty
Hardly. This riddle has been in the game since before beta. Probably two full years, even. I just decided nobody was ever going to figure it out if I didn't force them to.TheK3vin wrote:Heh, Ryme got mad that people kept figuring them out so quickly he made one that guaranteed a long time to spade.
Re: March's spading bounty
That's very creative, near m, but sorry. I'm looking for as-yet-undiscovered information about, or qualities of, Twilight Heroes.

Meh, what I meant was that the people who haven't noticed it until now (I'd imagine just about everyone) can't be done in one day.Ryme wrote:Hardly.

Re: March's spading bounty
Been pretty quiet, so I'll drop a hint:
Two of the five benefits can only be discerned from patrolling.
Three of the five may be identified in numerous ways; at least one way involves patrolling, and at least one way can be done from your inventory.
One of the five may not be discernible for all classes.

Re: March's spading bounty
Close, but not quite right.
Edited to add: I'm mostly concerned about numbers. If the wording is a bit off, I won't be too picky.
