-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- RECYCLE RACE -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-



  [General]



    The event is simple, bring equipment you don't want to the robot in SC.  Feed

    it to the robot, and be rewarded with zinium!. The zinium you accumulate can

    be used to craft special Rixx-Tec gear that you get to keep forever. When the

    event is over, a special lottery will be held, where your accumulated zinium

    total grants you shares in the lotto. The event begins on the boot of January

    6th and ends at boot on April 15th.



  [Recycling]



    You can recycle gear to get zinium.  The zinium value of an item is calculated

    from the positive bonuses on the piece of equipment. The item is permanently

    destroyed when recycled, so proceed with care.



    * The Rixx recycling robot is at SC (south cross)

    * In general each stat on a piece of equipment is valued at approximately (1) zinium.

    * You can only recycle same item (30) times during the whole event.

    * Zinium value of any item is soft capped to (20).

    * Recycling an alchemist made ring that is not made by you has its zinium

      value greatly reduced.

    * Recycling an alchemist made ring that is made by you has its value only s

      lightly reduced.

    * The recycling cap of same item does not apply to alchemist made rings made by you.

    * You can participate with your secondary too if you wish

    * 'tell rixx recycle status' to check how much zinium you/others have generated.





  [Rixx-Tec item]



    As you accumulate zinium, you are eligible to receive zinium runes as a reward.

    The runes are awarded by telling Rixx 'recycle award'.  These runes can be used

    to build (2) custom Rixx-Tec armors, and some of the more high end runes can be

    used to enhance any piece of equipment, not just Rixx-Tec gear, but will forever

    bind the equipment to you and nobody else.



    * Once you receive the award to generate Rixx-Tec, you can do so at the robot at SC.

    * If you made mistake when choosing the Rixx-Tec item, you can return it to

      the robot to get chance to create another one. You can not return item that has

      runes infused into it.

    * You can only use runes that you personally have been awarded.

    * You can check at the robot what armor types and material are available

    * A Rixx-Tec item can only hold up to (9) zinium.

           +1 stat (int,wis,str,dex,con,cha) is worth 1 zinium.

           +1 skill/spell is worth 1 zinium.

           +1 bonus (hpr/spr/hit/dam/avoid) are worth 2 zinium.

           Examples of maximum Rixx-Tec gear:

              +9 int cloak,

              +9 parry helmet,

              +2 spr +5 wis bracers,

              +2 int +2 wis +1 con +1% golden arrow +1% quick chant +1 spr boots

    * No resists or prots are available as bonuses.

    * A Rixx-Tec item is only usable by the character who made, not a secondary.

    * Secondaries can make their own Rixx-Tec items but items are not shared

      between charcters.

    * Each Rixx-Tec item will show how many more zinium bonuses can be infused into it.

    * Each rune will say how many zinium points it will consume.

    * Special runes (meta, xp rate, HW, invul, weight) do not count towards the zinium total.

    * The rune will indicate if it is a special one that can be applied to non Rixx-Tec gear.

    * Runes that can be applied to any gear also make that gear bound to you. Nobody else

      can use it thereafter!

    * If a rune soulbinds the equipment, it is stated on the rune.

    * A given character has the possiblity of creating up to two Rixx-Tec items.

    * You will accumulate a lot more zinium runes that you can use on two items.

    * 'tell rixx recycle runes' to see what runes you can receive with accumulated zinium.

    * 'tell rixx recycle award' to receive any runes you have achieved.

    * Special 'rixx' channel is created for duration of the event. You can put

      your questions there.

    When the event ends, the recycling robot will no longer be at SC. You will

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= THE rXP RACE -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-



  What's more fun that making equipment to sacrifice to a ravenous semi-sentient

  magical cyborg robot?  Making equipment together with friends!  For the duration

  of the recycling drive, players receive bonus rXP for larger party sizes and

  helping newbies!



  Rixx is testing out various theories to determine how to best make what he is

  calling Rixxperience points (rXP).  So far in his attempts to create compressed

  experience magic, he has determined the following rules.



    * The more people in a party, the more rXP is generated.

    * The lower the sum of the levels of the people in the party, the more rXP is generated.

    * Pure experience gain is not sufficient to generate the most rXP

    * Experience generated through items or spells does not contribute towards rXP

    * rXP generated is not lost upon death.

    * Reincarnation regains do not generate rXP.



  Telling Rixx 'race status' will show your current ranking for rXP generation.

  Telling Rixx 'race award' will upgrade your magical race ring to a new tier

  when you achieve the next tier.



  Rixx is inclined to reward those who help him in his investigations.  As such, the

  more rXP you generate, the more shares you will get in a special lottery where Rixx

  will give away some gadgets he had lying around in his garage.  The lotto will be held

  at the end of the event.  There will be multiple winners of the lottery.



  The magical ring will be yours to keep even after the event is done.  The ring has

  special bonuses that will unlock as you achieve each tier of the race.  The bonuses

  stay unlocked permanently once they are achieved.  Each day, as you make experience,

  your ring will charge up.  The charges on the ring act as a multiplier to the

  effectiveness of each bonus.



    Example:

     You have made no experience this boot.

     You have unlocked xp rate and 'heal on killing blow'

     Result: Your ring is +1% xp rate and 1hp/sp/ep on killing blow.



     You have made enough experience that your ring has 3/10 charges this boot.

     You have unlocked xp rate and 'heal on killing blow'

     Result: Your ring is +3% xp rate and 3hp/sp/ep on killing blow.



  Each day your rings daily rXP is reset, but the unlocks are permanent.
