Explore the realms at random

Revision as of 05:59, 26 August 2012 by PABot (talk | contribs) (NvR -> NV, replaced: NvR → NV)
Edit

From certain locations in Sryth, you can choose to Explore the Realms at random. This may result in random combat, a random encounter, or nothing at all. This was almost the first replayable content of the game, and the first that allowed grinding to be practical.

After an exploration, you can choose to continue exploring or go back to town. There is no limit to the amount of explorations you may make, but there are some anti-scripting measures in place that will reduce your probability of an encounter and increase the probability of a "non-encounter" message, to the point that after a while it's simply not practical to continue. Also, take care of saving your game from time to time.

Combat encounters, whether within a random hostile encounter or otherwise, can range from easy to extremely difficult, especially for starting adventurers. With as little as 49 MR, some combats are still 3+, while even with over 100 MR, some combats are still 18+ The infamous griffon, the hardest encounter to have, is still 9+ at MR 164

You can start exploring from these locations:

Temporarily available encounters

During the quest The Hunt for the Phantom Assassin you need to Explore the realms until you find "Something Quite Unexpected", which then adds a temporary special location you can return to advance the quest.

Historical note

The option to "Explore the realms at random" was introduced in January 9, 2006. It was then greatly expanded on September 2006, with the addition of new enemies, Spider Caves, Shadow Paths, the Tears of Igranolt, and Ezerok. About this time, it was reported that Exploring the realms at random was only accessible to AG characters (At some point this limitation was removed. This was first reported on September 18, 2011)

No longer available
  • Ezerok. Disabled since November 2006
  • Milestone combat contest. Ended on January 2007
  • The Hunt of the Tears of Igranolt
    • This was a limited-time event, starting on September 2006. On September 5, 2006 the encounter of "A glowing red gem" (one of the Tears of Igranolt) was added, and the hunt for them was announced on Game Updates. It supposedly lasted just for a day, and when you found one, you also found a special, rare, and very powerful item. The list of items is the same you can find in A Haunting in Durnsig. If currently they're still powerful, back them almost all of them were the most powerful item on their category available in the game.
    • Then, when the original, limited-time The Hunt for the Phantom Assassin was released, the Tears of Igranolt were available again, and with them the special items. It is implied that this second time the list of items was expanded. There is no information about how long was this scenario available, but A Haunting in Durnsig was released on November 11, 2006 (allowing guaranteed access to 1 of the items), while the final form of the Hunt for the Phantom Assassin (permanent quest and without the special items) was released on February 2007.
    • Several players managed to get two, or even three of the items, besides the one they got from A Haunting in Durnsig, while this scenario was available.


Random Texts

Nearly every encounter starts with a sentence that consists of three parts: time, place and location. For example: On a frosty autumn morning, in a forest glade west of the city of Charna

"On a frosty autumn morning" is the time, "in a forest glade" is the place, and "west of the city of Charna" is the location. There are a number of different texts for each part, and each part is randomly selected every time, allowing thousands of different combinations.

Some examples
  • On a rainy summer morning, on the outskirts of a small woodland village in southern Tysa...
  • On a frosty autumn morning, on a forested slope north of the city of Trithik...
  • Just before dusk, on a patch of firm ground in the midst of a treacherous swamp south of the Moonshore Crossroads...
  • On a rainy summer morning, near the ruins of an ancient castle north of the Moonshore Crossroads...
  • On a bright spring morning, on the edge of a small lake north of Thanevale...
  • On a rainy spring afternoon, in a forest of ancient hardwoods south of the village of Tarnsey...
  • On a rainy autumn afternoon, in a grassy field north of the town of Stormfield...
  • Just before dusk, near the ruins of a wizard's tower on Tysa's northern coast...
  • On a rainy autumn afternoon, in an overgrown graveyard in the forest on Tysa's northern coast
  • On a snowy winter morning, on a boulder-strewn slope south of Thanevale
  • On a foggy autumn morning, at the site of a ruined tower in the forest south of the city of Syr
  • On a rainy autumn morning, on a bleak moor north of Thanevale
  • On a foggy autumn morning, on the outskirts of a small village on Tysa's northern coast
  • On a rainy autumn morning, on the outskirts of a desolate moor west of the village of Hawklor
  • On a blustery day in late spring, near a standing stone in the forest on Tysa's northern coast
  • On a blustery day in late autumn, in a small forest clearing west of the city of Port Hallik
  • On a rainy autumn morning, on the edge of a small lake east of the village of Hawklor
  • Just before dusk, near a stone bridge spanning a swift stream on Tysa's northern coast
  • On a frigid winter morning, near an empty cave in the forest south of the town of Stormfield
  • On a frosty winter morning, on a road winding through a bleak moor south of the town of Mirgspil
  • On a rainy autumn afternoon, on a narrow road winding around a thick swamp south of the city of Talinus
  • On a frosty winter morning, on the edge of a small lake south of the village of Tarnsey
  • On a frosty winter morning, on a craggy moor west of the city of Tryndmoor
  • On a blustery autumn afternoon, on the outskirts of a dense forest in western Tysa
  • On a bright spring morning, on a broad grassy expanse south of the town of Mirgspil
  • On a rainy summer afternoon, on the outskirts of a dense forest south of the city of Charna
  • On a blustery day in late autumn, on a broad grassy expanse east of the village of Hawklor
  • On a blustery autumn afternoon, on the edge of a broad lake in northern Tysa
  • On a bright autumn afternoon, on the edge of a large forest lake west of the town of Mirgspil
  • On a rainy autumn afternoon, on the outskirts of a thick wood in western Tysa
  • On a rainy spring afternoon, on the outskirts of a desolate moor in northern Tysa
  • On a rainy summer morning, in a small forest clearing in eastern Tysa
  • On a frigid winter morning, on a broad grassy expanse in northern Tysa

And so on.

No Encounter Message

Your travels throughout the realms, while colourful, and at times arduous, ultimately prove uneventful. Despite the lack of adventure, after many long days your road-weary soul is eager to see in the inside of a tavern, and the bottom of an empty tankard...

...you are startled when you spot a lone figure standing a good distance off, intently watching your every move. A wide-brimmed leather hat adorns the head of the tall, lanky figure, and only moments after you first sighted him, he turns and quickly slips away. Puzzled by the strange encounter, you spend the next few minutes intently searching the area for any sign of the mysterious stranger. At last, without having found even a shred of evidence that he was ever there at all, you once again set off on your way.

Hostile Encounters

In these encounters, the creature(s) automatically attempt to engage you (most of the time you have the option to BEGIN COMBAT, or FLEE IMMEDIATELY).

Special encounters

A Haunted Tower

  • Divination will tell you that is really haunted, but it will earn you no experience

  • There are several different ghosts you can encounter in the tower, varying in strength:
    • Greater Spirit (9+ at MR 50-51 Approx, ?? SP)

Examples of crypts

Most of the enemies you will encounter are undead, but some are not. Also, most enemies are not much of a threat, but there are some exceptions. You can flee after the first round of combat.
