The actual Best of the Best event for Druids will go down Saturday November 30th , at 2pm EST, in the arena. The cutoff date for signing up will be November 28th Midnight.

============================================

Spectator and General Rulings:
Level Restrictions - You MUST be 54+ to compete in the event. (If you are below the level limit, but think you will attain level 54+ before the matches you can sign up for the event. In the chance you don't make the level limit, your entrance will be thrown out, and you won't be able to compete.)

I will respond back to each request. If you don't get a response by the day before the deadline petition in game or get a hold of Ambrotos.

Anyone found attacking a GM, a Guide, or fellow Spectators, may be banished from the Arena, and or death touched.

The Arena is off limits to unauthorized PvP 15 minutes before and 15 minutes after the event. This is to ensure that the contestants and spectators are safe.

Any spell casting shall be considered aimed at a participant, and either harmful or helpful to someone in the match. This time period includes 15 mins before the event starting, and untill it is announced PVP is active in the area after the event. This includes bard songs. De-mem all spells/songs if you wish to be in the arena to watch.


Spectators shall not use /shout for any reason, but use /ooc instead. This is so that those involved in the match can use /shout, and the /ooc channel can be turned off to reduce distraction to the contestants involved. Use of /shout by Spectators at anytime can result in death.



The Project1999 staff may limit the amount of people in the zone to control conditions of lag or frame rate for the participants. The event shall start open seating, but may close off at any time. The Event Staff may use any sort of decision on who stays and who leaves to ensure the event is a success. This should not be implemented until a minimum of 150 players in the zone has been reached.

General Combatant Rules:
Combatants must stay on the Arena platform. The top of the throne, in the throne, or behind the throne is off limits to the combatants during the matches. The four firepots are also off limits to the combatants. Use of these areas in match combat will lead to contestants being disqualified.

Starting positions are allowed anywhere that is legal (meaning not on the throne or in firepots) that is on your half of the tiles.

All participants will be debuffed before the match.

Weapons with the following spell effects attached to them will not be allowed in Best of the Best Series; Knockback, or fear.

The use of "Right Click" items is not permitted, unless specifically stated otherwise in the Class Specific Rules. Potions also are not allowed.

The following spell types may not be used in any of the Best of the Best Series: Any form of Fear or Charm unless directed at a pet. Any type of Blind spells or spells with a blind component. Gravity Flux or Invert Gravity. Any type of gate or translocation spell (Example: shadow step).

The following item types will not be allowed in the Best of the Best Series: Any type of Artifact items. Any type of regeneration effect items (Example Fungi Tunic).

In the event that the combat should exceed 15 minutes of real time, then the Event Staff reserves the right cast an AoE Snare spell on the contestants, and the contestants are to remain snared till end of match. (if a match if almost clearly over, then it should be allowed to finish naturally).

Any use of exploits or bugs will result in immediate disqualification from the event.

Class Specific Rules/Rewards
There is no entry fee for this event, and the only prizes will be titles awarded to the winners. The grand champion shall have his level 60th title given to him. Title for the 2nd place will be be the level 56 title and 3rd place will get the level 51 title.

A 30-second buffing period will be given before direct combat in the match.

All Armors and Weapons available to the contestant's class will be allowed. Unless it has an effect stated in General Combat rules as unusable.

All spells are allowed during this event. Unless stated to be Disallowed in General Combat rules or Special Class Rules.

===============================================
Special Class Rules:

Druids are allowed to use their right click off the epic. Elder Spiritist's Vambraces will also be allowed.***Subject to change***

Minor knockback spells are allowed.

[Clever]

There should be a separate title for the best Andain short story submission.

[Tasslehofp99]

I noticed at the bottom it says Minor Knockback spells allowed, does this mean the druid wind line of nukes is allowed then?

[Itap]

sweet, looking forward to this

[contemptor]

Are all ES armor clicks allowed or just arms?

Just vambraces.

Allowing the Clicky DoT items is pretty lame.

Edit: Apparently I need to explain myself. The difference between having and not having the clicky dot items is day and night. If a druid has a sword and sleeves, that is going to be their #1 crutch. If they don't have the sword and sleeves to use, that's where ingenuity comes in.

ES Vams are like 2k in tunnel. Epic click, at least on live, was a waste of 9 seconds of your life.

Both were allowed in the live druid botb (they also had velious out at that time for Velious wrist drones of doom), which is the reason they are in the rules here.
