The Vanilla Man Presearing Challenge!
So this was an idea that I had based off of the ever so popular Iron Man Challenge. Its meant to be done for entertainment and a challenge. Its also meant to simulate those Old School Presearing Vibes where everything wasnt so easy. Below there will be 3 sets of rules for this challenge (Leveling Rules, Item/Gear Rules, and Character Rules) that must be followed for the full experience!
Leveling Rules
~Grouping is allowed, But only with other people on The Vanilla Man Challenge. You may not group with anyone else for any reason, Not even rez sig you butt cheeks.
~ No Vanguard Quests at any point. You cannot use the Vanguard Armor Buff at anytime, You cannot kill any Vanguard Mobs for XP, and You cannot turn in the Vanguard Quests for XP. These didnt exist back in the day so we pretend they dont exist now.
~Levels 1 - 16 Must be obtained only through quest XP + Charr XP, Again anything but Vanguard Quests.
~Levels 16-20 Must be obtained only through any saved quests XP(Some people like to save quests for 16-17) and You do have the option to Death Level like the old days to gain XP, Again no Vanguard Quests. (BTW If you get LDoA while doing this challenge you will get the title Legendary Death Leveler of Ascalon for forums)
Item/Gear Rules
~You may only equip items that drop for you on your Vanilla man. Some people will know this as Self-Found. So this means No trading of any kind even with other Vanilla Man players. No drop trading, No leaving game for the other player to loot, If the item does not drop from a mob FOR YOU that item is not yours to use or equip.
~No Charr Kits! Yes there was a time when charr kits never dropped. So this means No Runes and No Weapon Mod Salvaging. The reason for having No Runes is because it will make things just a little bit more challenging and difficult for us. The reason for having No Weapon Mod Salvaging is because it will make every item exciting to ID, even lower items could be upgrades depending on the mods. It will bring back having mutiple item sets for different situations instead of always having best in slot weapon mods.
~Yes you can use Charr Bags because who doesnt need bag space.
~No crafted weapons from town. Sorry cant have rinblade <3 But yes you can customize any weapons that drop for you get that juicy damage!
~No Bonus Weapons / No Imp Summoning Stone
~No consumables allowed. Only alc/sweet/party points that can be used in town No Combat Buffs.
~You can get collector Armor, But no Yakkington. This means No Collector helmet and No Equipment Pack just like old school.
~Last but not least, Yes you can keep any items you want or deem valuable and trade them to an alt. So if you drop a 18% Charr bow mod yes you can trade it off and sell it on your main character. ONCE YOU TRADE AN ITEM OFF YOUR VANILLA MAN, YOU CANNOT TAKE THE ITEM BACK. This is a 1 way trade.
Character Rules
~No skill trainer. So yes you can have a secondary, but you can only use the skills you obtain through that classes quests you may not use the skill trainer to learn anything. So this will bring back the Class Specific spells, Things like only monks have Healing Breeze, Only Warriors have Frenzy, and etc. Brings back that old school class feel.
~Your Characters name must have either Vanilla or Vm at the end of its name to show others you are a Vanilla Man!
So basically this is the challenge that im gonna be doing, Id love for others to try it out if your bored or want something different to do in pre. If you have any comments/questions/concerns/feedback feel free to post it here. Also if you do decide to join the challenge please post some of your accomplishments or some of the items that dropped for you !
And so it begins...
