My thoughts on new event
First of all this one is a great event. It helps a lot to gather stones and jades.
But if we are goin to refer on the link below..
http://www.worldofkungfu.com/index.cfm?action=12Shengxiao
It is not stones that we need so much.. but jades.
But on this event we will be getting hundreds and even thousands of stones (w/c WE DON'T NEED). And the most jades we can get is 8 (if u did it in Forbidden Palace and u composed a sentence w/ more than 10 words). Sure we can do the event again and again... but how much should we spend? According to the rule, a letter must have ATLEAST 5 decorations. I tried making sentence with simple and short words (tried to make more than 10). The sentence I made is composed of 16 words.
Lets try using roses (10pcs for 5gold in mall).
My 16 word sentence has 48 letters.
(48x5{least no. of decoration per letter}=240 roses all in all)
(240/10{coz u can buy roses in stack of 10}=24 stack of roses)
(24x5{cost of roses per stack}=120gold).
So now moving to the formula of the Event:
1. [10 Sheng Xiao Stone + 1 Sheng Xiao Jade] for one complete sentence.
2. [10 Sheng Xiao Stone] for each word in this sentence.
3. Your rewards will x2 if your sentence has more than 10 (including 10) words.
4. If you manage to combine the decorations into a sentence out of the town, your rewards will xN :
In Stone Forest: N = 2
In Shi Fang Maze: N = 2
In Xi Tang Rainforest: N = 2
In Ancient Xia Tomb: N = 3
In Chaozhi Sewer: N = 3
In Liuli Pool: N = 3
In Hot Spring: N = 3
In Forbidden Palace: N = 4
In Red Forest: N = 4
In other places: N = 1
Scenario 1:
Lets do the event in Forbidden Palace: (N=4)
Given:
Word = 16 words
More than 10 words = Yes/True
Formula
{(10+16x10)4=680 stones & 1x4=4 jades}2
Answer
We will get 1,360 stones & 8 jades.
NOTE:
If we want a permanent pet (refer to the table above) how many times should we do the event to get 265 jades?
265/8=34 (we need to repeat it 34 times to get enough jades)
34x120 (gold needed per sentence in my Scenario) = 4,080 gold
Scenario 2:
Lets do the event in Forbidden Palace: (N=4)
Given:
Word = 3 words
More than 10 words = No/False
Formula
(10+3x10)4=160 stones & 1x4=4 jades
Answer
We will get 160 stones & 4 jades.
NOTE:
The word is I love you. It has 8 letters.
{8x5(least decoration needed per letter)=40 decoration}
40/10=4 stacks of 10
4x5=20 gold.
To get 265 jades using this scenario we need to do event 67 times.
20gold x 67 times = 1,340 gold
Doing the pet quest ingame (once per day sucks...)
How many years will it take to get 265 jades? 2,3,4,5 years?
Will the game still be alive at that point in time?
To whomever GM is reading the post... i would like to sugest to interchnage the qty of the stones and jades.
e.g.
10 Shengxiao Stones + 265 Shengxiao Jades + 480 Gold to ensure a permanent pet
why not make it:
10 Shengxiao Jades + 265 Shengxiao Stones + 480 Gold to ensure a permanent pet
or~~ (if the idea of interchanging qty needed for stones and jades cannot be done) change the formula of teh reward.
1. [10 Sheng Xiao Stone + 1 Sheng Xiao Jade] for one complete sentence.
2. [2 Sheng Xiao JADE] for each word in this sentence.
3. Your rewards will x2 if your sentence has more than 10 (including 10) words.
4. If you manage to combine the decorations into a sentence out of the town, your rewards will xN
