Announce Post #3005: The King is Drunk, Long Live the Party!

edited March 2020 in Announce Posts
Once more, the anniversary of the death of Old Cashel Connlaodh, King of the Leprechauns has arrived!

The leprechaun population have held their traditional gathering to celebrate his reign. However, as the green ale flowed, old arguments rose about who should lead the leprechauns. This finally resulted in overthrowing of King Gilligan Connlaodh, calling for a new contest to see which of Old Cashel's children should rule the leprechauns.

Thus, Seamus Connlaodh and Eileen Connlaodh have returned to try to wrest the crown from their brother Gilligan.

You can help the leprechauns to choose their new leaders by helping either Eileen, Seamus or Gilligan, who each have a rainbow on the path of nature on Avechna's Peak, where you can visit them. By helping the leprechauns, they'll give you a shamrock of their faction.

This is a DAILY QUEST which can be completed by influencing 6 leprechauns loyal to one of the leprechaun royalty. Shamrocks can be combined into groups for easy carrying. You can then take the shamrocks to either Gilligan, Eileen or Seamus and SHAMROCK TRADE FOR COIN will give you a free Czigany coin! Or, if you're feeling peckish, you can eat the shamrocks for a vitals buff - but beware, for your shamrocks will not be returned to you if you eat them by mistake.

Oh, by the way, there's a little known fact about leprechaun magic: they gain the power of invisibility when they're drunk! How one can overcome that, we'll leave it for you to discover.

  • Clarification this announce is missing:

    You are only allowed to pick up six shamrocks a weave, apparently, and there appears to be no way to convert shamrocks.

    If there is you can kindly correct me.

    You can only INFLUENCE six per weave.  Useless restriction but whatever.
    Just kill a couple of the ones you don't like and give them to your preferred candidate, because they have an infinite supply of their own voting tickets.  That will fix you up if you influenced the wrong type by accident.
    Also, you can trade shamrocks to others, so if you absolutely MUST stick to influencing have a friend go for five of the type you nabbed by accident, and one of the type you need (for example).  Swap the offending outliers.

  • We want to overhaul this quest as it has a few finicky and strange things like this, but unfortunately it isn't something we had the resources to do this year. Sadly it's one of those things where to fix it, the best thing for us to do is rebuild it entirely - much simpler than trying to fix its issues as it stands, but also much more time consuming.

    Do keep listing any issues you have with it on this thread and we'll come back to them for when we go through it!

  • Ah, okay. Will do that. Also thank you @Xenthos - wouldn't have figured that out otherwise.
