Exactly what the title says. This is more for those newer players who lack funding and materials to make their own gear. This won't exactly be daily, so check back whenever :3.

Wait, how can you tell if we meet your criteria?

Easy. I'm going to step into the clockworks at an appropriate depth (Moorcroft / Emberlight) and then invite you in. Depending on where you spawn, I can see if you have subsequent tier clearance or not. I will of course, reimburse your 10 energy for coming in if you are an eligible winner.

ELIGIBILITY IS STATED UNDER THE HEADING "What Can I win?". PLEASE ENSURE YOU ARE AN ELIGIBLE PARTICIPANT.

How do I win?

It's simple, really. All you have to do is keep watching the first post of this thread! I'll post details on how to win here-- it might be a riddle (the first FORUM POST with the correct answer will win), or something like a scavenger hunt (I ask for a very small amount of 0 or 1* materials, let's say). Whatever I want, cause I'm bored.

If it's a riddle, can't someone just spam one post with like, fifty gajillion guesses and win?

Nope! Because I only look at the first given answer-- so any subsequent guesses are ignored, even if the right one is given away.

What can I win?

Eligibility: Open to EVERYONE!

1x Heater Shield

What is the current contest?

Scavenger Hunt! (Okay this one's a little selfish, but I'm desperate)

Scavenger Hunt Rules:

Decipher what item I need.
Contact me in-game, and we'll open up a trade.
Show me the item I'm looking for, and you win!

It's said that the schematics helped Knights become stronger,
And thus I seek such a thing.
Of armor said to be made of drakes
Armor fit for a king.

@ Giga: It could be a riddle about anything.

Please note: As I stated, This is more for those newer players who lack funding and materials to make their own gear.. If you show up with 4* gear and you've answered the riddle, you won't get anything :|

This is a great thing you are doing. I'll chip in some stuff if you need some 2* stuff to give out. Getting to 2* was pretty annoying at first.

That might take up a lot of space, Niko. XP But I'll leave a list of answers used-- not the actual riddles.

I'll keep a text file on my actual hard drive of the riddles though-- and at any time if you want them you can ask me.

I'm going to bed for the night. Riddle's still unsolved. Remember: YOU MUST SUBMIT ANSWERS VIA A POST ON THIS THREAD. In game mail will not count as answers.

:3 I intend for my contests that are open to higher tiers are harder than regular 2* gear giveaways-- I mostly just want to get rid of those :P

Also, no answers yet are correct-- but the guesses aren't bad either!

I read over the riddle-- not worded improperly from my point of view. If it's meant to be cryptic and not easy to follow, it is.

Keep up the great work Zerrif!

Although I am not a new recruit, I do enjoy your riddles. I won't post my guess as I don't qualify although I am pretty sure I have the answer. I'm willing to donate prizes if you begin running out of items to give away.

Oooh, this time it's open to Tier 2 players? I'd venture my guess but someone already guessed it.

Still, this whole thing you're doing is pretty cool.

...Hmm.

Well, okay, I've got a less serious guess that I may as well throw in. Even if it doesn't win, it amused me enough to say it anyway.

My answer is: "The Matrix."

Well, we DO have red pills and blue pills (Life and Remedy Capsules)! And enemies that dodge bullets (Gremlin, Wolver)! And other enemies that don't need to (Mecha Knight)! And slow motion camera angles (better known as "lag")! The problem is, though, the riddle is now asking me "What is the Matrix?" And nobody can be -told- what the Matrix is...

Argh, now I'm going to mutter "I need an exit!" every time we make it to the elevator. SEE WHAT YOUR GENEROSITY HAS WROUGHT.

I believe that the answer is

I believe that the answer is most definitely nothing
"This can do it all"
=
"Nothing can do it all"

"If everything amounted to nothing, then this would rule it all"
=
In a world of nothing, of course nothing rules all.

"So enjoy the world of something, when it is really nothing,
Though in that world, this is everything."
=
In a world of nothing, the only thig here is is nothing, therefore, nothing=everyone in that world

It's a shame it's already been guessed.

Edit:nvm, was almost sure that was the answer. Imagination still makes sense though

@ sl-- nothing was actually my first intended answer as I thought up the riddle-- but when I used it 3 times in the riddle itself I figured that was too easy, and I needed to use my imagination.

And then it hit me.

In the face.

Honestly

I thought this riddle was bad in comparison to the others you wrote. That's just my opinion. On a side note, what you are doing is great, and writing riddles is really tough, so I am not complaining.

Imagination was my second thought, but I chose to say dreams because they are as vivid as imagination gets.
