THIS THREAD IS NO LONGER RELEVENT AND ALL BETS ARE OFF AS THESE THINGS WERE MADE TO DROP.

------------------------------------------------

Yep, right there.

Anyone else want to add to the pot?
Maybe 10K cr isn't enough? It should be because this is free money for all of those barrier finding players out there.
(EDIT: scratch that, we've got over 100,000 crowns. But you guys can keep adding to it.)

For clarification-
The gear drop must have occurred after the introduction of the forge, and all of that nonsense, when people stopped reporting them. And yes, it must come from a treasure box, and not a rare mob. No true love lockets. Or divine pipes.

EDIT: Feon found a gear drop. But there was evidence provided later on that her gear drop was simply the result of developers patching gear drops back into the game, which changes the rules, as is bolded below. Read the comments (starting midway on page 2) for more information.

The barrier picture must be of your knight in game with a dropped ultra poison barrier. Hover your mouse over it so that we can all see that it did in fact come from T3 and not wherever else.

The turret kit must be of the consumable type that was "added" into the game, and not the kind you find out in the wild and pay CE to use. That's different.

This thread/offer is valid until any changes occur to the drops. Feel free to mail me in game at Fehzor if you have any pictures/concerns and are not on the forums. If you try to cheese this (e.g. Look, I told Hyperion that I had a turret drop and he gave me one hurr durr), then you aren't going to get anything. If you present a real picture to solve the issue of whether these things exist, you'll get paid.

List of crowns you will receive, unless they gave it to Feon already
10,000 - Fehzor
10,000 - Glacies
10,000 - Sir-Greenlink
10,000 - Mushta-Forum
10,000 - VtMoon
10,000 - Blazzberry
10,000 - Valorai (9,999, but pff)
10,000 - Dibsville
10,000 - Draycos
10,000 - Sweet-Hope
10,000 - Hexzyle
20,000 - Kitten-Princess (For the turret/poison barrier only)
10,000 - Sir Keegan
10,000 - Jabbzz
10,000 - Brother-Zeke
10,000 - Skyguarder (10,001, because individualism)
10,000 - Wehasband
15,000 - Rich-Tbiscuit
16,384 - Kremurgh (Turret pickup only)
150,000 - Incognito-Clown (Turret Pickup Only)

DO NOT MAIL ME CROWNS IF YOU ARE CONTRIBUTING TO THE POT
If someone finds it, mail the crowns to them. If you sent them to me that is fine, I'll just hold onto them until we find the person. But if we don't, I don't wanna have to go through and mail everyone 10,000 crowns, like I just did. Further mails sent to me will be kept, so don't do it. I presume that you read the OP before sending me money, and that you agree to this.

If you sent me crowns before they have been mailed back along with a message- "If someone wants to collect the crowns, they will have to contact you. Don't mail me them back or I'm keeping them."

IF YOU DO FIND THE ITEMS
Either post a screenshot here or mail me in game with your screenshot as a link.

Friend request/mail everyone on the list above if they don't mail it to you within a few days, and ask them for their contribution. It is up to them to give it to you, and not me.

I would expect many of them to keep tabs on this thread, because it would be quite something if you did find one of the pickups mentioned.

Haha I'm tempted to throw some money at this too.

But I'm not sure...maybe? Okay I probably will. But I need to make sure I have that many crowns! (I know I'm a noob. I don't always have 10k on me all the time! xD)

So...no. Don't count me in yet. I'll be back.

Anyway, good luck to all of you hunters out there! Where do you guys think they'll probably show up?

Fehzor i will send you 10k cr from my main account when i log on, however you must be find a way to be pretty sure that the one who come here and post the real ultra barrier drop because you know there people "smart enought" to fake a screen they practically can take any ultra barrier, recolor to green and there ya go.

there should be a way to not fake it, like a video or something. Anyway i will send you the cr in some minutes.

Sweet-Hope has a point.

Although it isn't the easiest thing to recolor a barrier, with time and effort, I could probably do it. Not that I will do it, but I'm just warning you. If you want, I could try it and see if it's at all possible to alter the results of another barrier. If it's passable, I'll warn you.

Not the easiest thing? Couldn't you use color matching and recolor the universal Ultra barrier icon in the game files the same way the game does?

Well when i did the Dracula X stage 1 recreation for Castlevania Online, i decided to not rip again the fire background (green) from the boss area of the Dracula X game (snes) since the first background the fire from the town was like around 32 frames. so ripping again 32 frames was going to be a pain again. so the thing i did it just to take the "palette" from the red fire and just take 1 screen from the green fire to have the palette of such fire, then just swap palettes and... TA DA! i got the green fire without ripping it again.

So pretty much anyone who know about that can just take the color palette from the T2 venom barrier and swap it to the ultra fire barrier of T3. also they arent detailed sprites... but i would like to see yours Autofire :3

If that's the case of people creating hoaxes, here is a suggestion on this part:

  • There must be at least two-three screenshots, one of the pickup and one of the pickup in action.
  • For the Poison Barrier, the screenshot must have three, one of it being shown as a pickup, one as an action, and one poisoning the enemy (without the support of Poison Vials)

my 2 cents

Back when I was a noob (post-pets), I once found another heavy hatchet in my arsenal for no reason. I believe I still has it, but I'm pretty sure I sold it. Besides, that's no real evidence since someone could easily craft/buy one. But just sayen. :P
Btw, Ill put in 2 cents. (I'm a dirt-poor cheapskate :P)

This is starting to escalate

http://blog.bahraniapps.com/?page_id=21 (gifcam)

The relevant wiki page has more than enough needed to make a realistic fake with both of the free image editing softwares I have. With two in-game screenshots and I could make a deployed fake too. Just what kind of evidence do we really need? Should we decrease the reward size?

IMO, indisputable evidence would be a recording of it with Gifcam in "256 colors" mode.

Am I over thinking this? I mean, if it's in the game we shouldn't have an honest person jump through all these hoops...

Someone could easily change

Someone could easily change the game files so the sprite for ultra poison barrier replaces all other barriers. Then it's just a matter of finding any barrier in tier 3 and bam 110k.

This is why they mouse over the barrier in their inventory.

Plus they can't change them without recoding bits of the client if that- the game recolours the barrier pickups from a default grayscale model.

@Kitten-Princess

Where/when did you find it?

Getting a feeling the turret is non existant at this point due to how no one mentions it but those who caught a glimpse of the two only say they've used the T3 PB.

Waiting anxiously to see what this item looks like/hope to use it in action. :x
