Mini Games

Beginner

Thursday, March 1st 2012, 2:44pm

I'm looking for some information about the different mini games and the prizes. I've tried a couple though the only one I've managed to get anywhere with is the survival game. I managed to dig up every tile but was about 5 seconds shy of opening the final chest. Is there a larger prize for doing that or is the overall prize whatever you manage to get from the chests?

And what about the other games? Are they worth doing, what are the prizes? I did the course of terror once and got nowhere. I know there's one in Sascilla Steps but haven't tried it and I've heard about the Goblin Games but haven't tried it either.

So at what level should I try these games and are the prizes worth it?

Minigames are run for shells. Shells are used to purchase endgame gear & stats. All the other "prizes" are circumstantial and can range anywhere from temporary mount summon tickets to craftable furniture recipies. The most well known of these would probably be goblin mines, as it is a group minigame in Aslan Valley.

And you need to be lvl 50+ to get the shells as awards.

yes... until then I would suggest saving up your tokens to use for making purchases you might need for upgrades like PFS & Neutrality Tickets (if you're PvP)

Actualy dont need to be 50 to get the shells unless my druid is glitched. She just hit lvl 34 and I have been doing the tiles since she hit lvl 30. Been attempting the Treasure room but dont get far befopre aggro kills her. So far I ahve 300 shells just from doing the tiles. You cannot use the shells until you hit lvl 65, or is it 67, cannnot remember my mage has the max number of shells and not spending them until my druid gets at least lvl 60.

That is weird. Shells should be obtainable only by character higher then L50.

I usually daily run Survival Game, Curse of Terror and GG. (130 shells - glorious stat every 2 days)

In survival you have to open all tiles and boxes before timer runs out (10 min). 30 shells on completion. My current record is to complete it and have 3:15 on timer.

Curse of Terror - CoT - you have 4 stages, with 1, 2, 3 and 4 keys on each. On completion of each stage you get 10 and last stage 20 shells, for total of 50.

GG is group run and give 50 shells as well.

Anotherr important resources that makes GG worth doing is AT charges.

By completing those 3 mini games I usually get between 5 and 8 charges. 5 charges for 90 shells, and vendor/CS price is 30 shells per charge - so games are well worth it, even without a shells. And best part is that in Survival and CoT you can even get shells, so it is not rare to exit with more PS tokens then before the game.

There are good youtube videos on mini games. Watch them to get betterr idea how to run/complete.

I've never gotten any shells with an under level 50 character either, but MegaMouse is specifically talking about one mini game...perhaps we want to try that one and that's the exception, if so...that's great news to some of my alts that are in the mid 30s currently.

I'll be sure to try that one tonight with one of my lower level characters...I'll waste the 30 coins to test it out.

Like I said my Druid may be glitched and is getting the shells from tiles when she shouldn't. But until she hits lvl 67 they are pretty much useless to her and I am banking them to keep from using up valuable bag space. And once again I managed to fail the treasure room mini. Stupid mutts see me through invisibility and eat me up.

you can spend the shells before 67, just can't "wear" the gear until 67/70... doesn't mean you can't get stats from em...

Treasure Hunter minigame be runnable on a lvl 17 toon, me usered ta do it all the time afore they started sellin runes in the CS. Way easier at lvl 50, an lvl 63 an higher be the easier-beyond-belief point. GG giveth 3 AT charges, CoT giveth 2-3, Survivor giveth 1 charge. TH giveth a temp mount (once yer getteth all pieces), an many guild mats. Also, all the Crimson an Glorious stats be purchasable by ANYONE who hast the shells, no matter what lvl, an those stats be usable by anyone who hast a puri.

Thank you all for the replies. I think I'll just wait until I'm bit higher level before worrying too much about the mini games though I will check out the YouTube videos for strats as suggested.

What are you talking about. You can use the shells as soon as you have 200 of them. Hardly anyone uses the gear you get from the shells. You get the gear for the stats and use them to stat your gear you get from drops in the instances. There are a couple of peices that are OK to use but most will only use that armor for the stats.

For example I started a Mage a few weeks ago, and ran the mini's with my R/S and then with my Mage once it hit 50. And I now have all my gear and almost everything stat'ed for when it hits lvl 60. I have bought a ton of stats from the Shell NPC from lvl 50 to 58 with no issues.

Only OD pieces with crit are worth wearing from those sets. I have 3 pieces ready to state (all shell gear).

what a way to make the OP confused lol xD... it's 5 charges for 90 Phirius Tokens not 90 (Phirius) Shells & the CS $ is 30 Phirius Tokens per charge... and its not rare to exit games with more Phirius Tokens lol...

Along with Youtube, Xfire has some grat vids too.

O_o Hmmm the Shells gear is crap unless ur lucky enough to get OD gear from it, that's the only time that it would be worthwhile. Shell gear is only obtained to get stats from using a puri. You should be wearing Druid specific gear instead of Shell gear imo.
