Welcome to the 2018 Night of the Nocturne Coliseum Challenge! As it was last year, we have two wonderful weeks to collect ALL THE THINGS! Since Shadowbinder is technically the mother to these lovely mimics, we'll honor her by enjoying all the tricks these troublemakers play on us!
As always, the goal is to get several [u]Strange Chest[/u] Drops, or an [u]Unhatched Egg[/u] while challenging each venue! This month, you can also finish a venue by collecting x25 mimic powder, or a Vista! From the Training Fields to the Golem Workshop, you'll take on each venue until you reach the requirements to move onto the next. If you've stayed two hours in a venue, and still have not met the requirements, you are free to move on to the next. There are several different modes for this challenge, and you are free to do any mode you choose. Each mode has their own rules, so pick carefully!
[b]Blitz Mode[/b]
[indent]- Spend only 30 minutes in a venue unless you meet the item requirements for Normal Mode to move on. Perfect for those short on time![/indent]
[b]Normal Mode[/b]
[indent]- Nab a chest, find 3 familiars, or find an egg![/indent]
[b]Hard Mode:[/b]
[indent]- Grind each venue until you get 10 chest drops. Not for the faint of heart, this mode ignores how much time you've spent in a venue.[/indent]
[b]Extreme Mode:[/b]
[indent]- Grind each venue until you get 15 chest drops, AND x100 NotN foods.[/indent]
[u][b]When you start, please ping me to let me know you're starting the challenge. When you finish the challenge, feel free to ping me again if you'd like to be pinged for next month's challenge. While going through each venue, you'll post any notable loot you pick up. This includes currency, familiars, battle items, containers, apparel, and chests! The easiest way to do this is to make a post as follows:
[b]Training Fields[/b]
[indent]- Time spent:
- Chest drop:
[item=strange chest]
[code][item=strange chest][/code]
- Notable loot:
[item=leafy pack]
[code][item=leafy pack][/code][/indent]
[code][b]Training Fields[/b]
[indent]- Time spent:
- Chest drop:
[item=]
- Notable loot:
[item=][/indent][/code]
[u]Please keep three or less venue lists to each post[/u]. I'd prefer it be one per post, but I understand it's easier for people to keep track of them with less posts.
Good luck, and have fun!
