Chapter 101 . Information released about the item contest and BBS

Hi there,

Back with another chapter.

Nothing to say this time either, enjoy the chapter.

I turned on my PC and the fans started making noise.

Having finished dinner and doing the chores, I was checking the event information in my own room.

Once I reached the page I was looking for, my hand stopped and I stared at the screen.

The desert’s queen Patra・Adenium・Sala has made an announcement to the continent!

「I…I want something that excites me!」(Patra)

Unusual items, equipment, accessories and so on…

The queen wishes for you to present crafted items/equipment that satisfies her curiosity, and you can obtain various rewards!

Furthermore, once the contest ends, it’s possible to auction the items/equipment that have been presented in the contest! (※In the case you don’t wish for your entry to be auctioned, they’ll be returned to you)

This might be your chance to have her take interest in your items and have them sold in the auction!?

Warning: on top of the performance of the item/equipment, the NPC Patra’s tastes will be considered for the review.

In turn, if you are aiming for a high score, you’ll have to aim for something that Queen Patra will like.

Take this in consideration beforehand.

Rewards at the top of each division.

1st place: Noblis Carbuncle (superior gem type material) and 2.000.000 G

2nd~5th place: Carbuncle x5 (gem type material) and 500.000G

6th~10th place: Carbuncle x3 (gem type material) and 300.000G

Oh, the host of this time’s event is our queen.

I see…but, that queen’s preferences,huh…

I more or less know what it’d be, but wouldn’t this be disadvantageous for players in the other regions?

Having thought that, I proceeded to go to the forums.

I wonder if this thread would be good?

【Who is】Thread to talk about the item contest【the judge?】

This is a thread to talk about the item contest that’s planned to be held in TB.

Idle talk is allowed, as long as it’s related to the event, any topic is fine.

Ignore the trolls and be well mannered.

The next thread will be made once we reach >>950 comments.

573：Nameless Mage　ID：DtTd9Rg

It’s been decided that the judge will be the queen, what are we going to do?

574：Nameless Light Warrior　ID：pxwgQWb

I’ve barely crafted at all…

I might not participate in this event.

575：Nameless Archer　ID：QJTHiBQ

I wonder if she’ll get angry if we present a trash item.

576：Nameless Knight　ID：ERsuCAm

@573 What do you mean?

577：Nameless Heavy Warrior　ID：NgJQ4sg

Even if she doesn’t get angry, your likability with the queen would decrease LOL.

578：Nameless Knight　ID：33yFJbZ

Likability with the NPCs is an important part of this game after all.

A number of events change depending on your likability.

579：Nameless Mage　ID：DtTd9Rg

@576 Has the queen’s personality already been established?

As far as I could see from the noble’s seats during the tournament, I could only guess that she had a strong personality.

580：Nameless Archer　ID：QJTHiBQ

That does interest me…like when there’s a mysterious switch in front of me luring me in…LOL

581：Nameless Knight　ID：ERsuCAm

Even if it ends up with you throwing your likability with her out of the window, how about you try giving her a trash item just to see how she reacts?

@579 She’s also a beautiful woman right?

Besides that, when Hero-chan and her partner won the tournament she was incredibly happy.

582：Nameless Martial Artist　ID：m6wMtzz

@569 She’s also someone that wears flashy outfits? That amount of exposure…whoa ー( ゜∀゜)=3

On the topic of her personality, it would be nice if players from the desert told us ー|ω・`）チラ (wink wink)

583：Nameless Shinto Priest　ID：6BpTdxi

Blatantly asking for information LOL.

584：Nameless Light Warrior　ID：Kpumg3p

He doesn’t plan to investigate by himself at all LOL.

It feels fair for me to share information here…it looks quite unfair for players outside Sala.

Someone will eventually tell them, so I don’t mind being the one that does it.

I’ll tell them something simple without giving away any private information.

590：Nameless Shinto Priest　ID：FiyAgWT

Regarding Patra-sama’s personality, in simple terms.

・Her nature is the very image of an arrogant queen.

・She has collected all sorts of gems, regarding other metals, it seems like she prefers gold to silver.

・Narcissist.

・Likes beautiful things （↑ as it’s been said in the previous statement, that includes herself）.

・Takes pride in her appraisal, so it’s possible that she can see the quality of an item at a glance.

Something like this, this is just a rough estimate, if you have any doubts, feel free to go to other NPC threads and look at information given by other players and then verify the information and reach your own conclusions.

591：Nameless Heavy Warrior　ID：JQcaswh

Even if you felt motivated to go there, the fields in TB are really wide…Sala is really far.

592：Nameless Mage　ID：72uS5XQ

It’s also a pain to secure a means of transportation.

Though it would be another matter if you had a high grade horse.

593：Nameless Martial Artist　ID：m6wMtzz

@590 Ooooh! Thanks for the information!

I never expected someone would really give information…it was worth asking.

594：Nameless Knight　ID：EFjjPpm

@590 As far as I can see…she does really give the feeling of her being a 「Queen」.

595：Nameless Light Warrior　ID：dVHsGfS

Ah, I see, it would be fine if we just took a look at the NPC threads.

596：Nameless Shinto Priest　ID：BNt9Khj

No, information about the queen is vastly smaller in quantity compared to the other rulers. Frankly, I really appreciate 590 for giving us that much information.

597：Nameless Archer　ID：FfesVaj

Gathering information from the NPC related threads and organizing it would also be quite time consuming.

There’s one of those fetish threads for the queen so I guess it’s just a matter of time.

598：Nameless Knight　ID：HRTJHxJ

Those fetish threads don’t have any valuable information LOL.

The people that post over there probably haven’t even gotten to the Royal Capital yet? LMAO.

599：Nameless Mage　ID：cDNuTi3

Those guys just look at screenshots and say that she’s erotic and the like!

600：Nameless Light Warrior　ID：nx8PZsZ

@590 Question. What’s the queen’s age?

601：Nameless Shinto Priest　ID：FiyAgWT

@600 I’m scared to ask about that kind of thing.

If I were to ask her, my likability would drop at mach speed.

602：Nameless Light Warrior　ID：nx8PZsZ

Yeah, you are right LOL.

My bad LOL.

603：Nameless Knight　ID：ERsuCAm

Her three sizes…no, forget it.

604：Nameless Shinto Priest　ID：FiyAgWT

You are all asking stupid questions…

605：Nameless Martial Artist　ID：m6wMtzz

No, no, we really appreciate it LOL.

@590 The information in this comment is more than enough.

606：Nameless Archer　ID：uFCSTWP

So it’s fine as long as they are items/equipment that are beautiful and luxurious?

OK, OK, I know what to do!

607：Nameless Mage　ID：t4P7AWJ

The interior (Inherent quality?) seems to also be important according to the event information.

I guess it won’t be good if they only look good on the outside?

608：Nameless Shinto Priest　ID：6MTaY5j

But that part in @590 where it says that she likes beautiful things (including herself) is amazing LOL.

What about giving her an item that acts as cosmetic?

609：Nameless Heavy Warrior　ID：E2pFuSE

That’s a good idea!

610：Nameless Archer　ID：ZnHsY7P

Ah, I see.

I wonder if something like that would suit her tastes.

611：Nameless Light Warrior　ID：V7nL4Hp

It’s just that, if you were to focus too much on the queen’s preferences, those items wouldn’t sell in the auction.

612：Nameless Knight　ID：3YVhWT5

I can see that happening.

If it was something like foundation, there would be no point in making your avatar’s skin all glossy LOL.

Would it be something that could be sold to female players…yeah, kinda doubtful LOL.

613：Nameless Mage　ID：QgFGPzb

To satisfy both sides…I guess accessories would be a safe bet?

614：Nameless Shinto Priest　ID：zaKdRyi

Maybe.

615：Nameless Archer　ID：8MrwpDE

Wouldn’t it be fine to go for a weapon or armor type?

It’s not like the queen will choose something to wear herself right?

616：Nameless Heavy Warrior　ID：45L8chM

It’s probably the case since they are going to return the items we present them.

It’ll only be judged based on what the queen likes and dislikes on top of the quality of the item?

617：Nameless Martial Artist　ID：8T7knLY

In that case, someone will definitely make a golden and shiny armor LOL.

Only coating them in gold would be no good so…it’d be made of pure gold!

618：Nameless Knight　ID：ERsuCAm

Not sure? Even if we say that she likes gold, would that mean she likes things to have ornaments made of gold, or would it mean the she likes them to be all made of gold? Depending on how much she likes it, it would change her evaluation, right?

619：Nameless Heavy Warrior　ID：45L8chM

I mean, TB’s NPCs’ AI are quite complex after all…

What do you think about what he said? @590

620：Nameless Shinto Priest　ID：FiyAgWT

I wouldn’t know such detailed information.

I can tell you about her tendencies, but more than that, you’ll have to investigate on your own.

621：Nameless Heavy Warrior　ID：45L8chM

Well, you have a point.

Since the item performance is important, guess we can leave the appearance for later.

In that case, we have to think about the materials first.

622：Nameless Martial Artist　ID：jX9Jfh4

That would be fine for equipment types, but it wouldn’t really be feasible for items.

623：Nameless Mage　ID：QgFGPzb

Since she said that she wants excitement, would something unusual that surprises her work…?

624：Nameless Shinto Priest　ID：FiyAgWT

Even if I said that she likes beautiful things, she did mention that she has grown tired of normal things.

The direction 623 is taking might prove to be effective. That doesn’t apply to items but to gear too.

625：Nameless Light Warrior　ID：hwWwL3h

Uwah such a pain!

This queen is so hard to please! LOL

626：Nameless Shinto Priest　ID：FiyAgWT

@625 I can agree with that from the bottom of my heart. I’m not good with this type of person.

627：Nameless Heavy Warrior　ID：PmSVNbn

In the end, this is a contest of ideas…? I can’t imagine how it’ll go…

628：Nameless Shinto Priest　ID：A3mTr4A

If that’s the case, I can’t come up with anything for healing items…

The topic of the conversation has changed so…I guess this is enough.

In that case, guess I’ll log into TB…by taking the fact that the queen is the judge, we should think of ideas.
