Outbreaks

=Outbreaks=

The land of Montel is a dangerous place filled with many surprising challenges. Black Gold Online features special randomly occurring dynamic events called Outbreaks.

Dynamic Events
Outbreaks are dynamic events, which means that they happen semi-randomly throughout the world. Some are tied to specific locations or will happen at specific times.

Outbreaks will appear on the map as skull and crossbones. A silver Outbreak sigil represents an average Outbreak, whereas a golden sigil represents a powerful World Boss.

When players enter an Outbreak, they will hear a sound effect and their Quest box will automatically change to an Event box, showing the type of Outbreak, time remaining, objectives, and reward for completion.

Outbreaks come in a variety of types, some examples being:


 * World Bosses: usually occurring at regular intervals at a specific location, these Bosses are very powerful and are difficult to defeat on one’s own. Most bosses require the use of Battle Carriers and/or calling in support from fellow players.


 * Invading armies: usually NPCs of the opposing faction, must kill a large number of enemies to complete.


 * Gather resources: for non-violent players, some Outbreaks may require you go around gathering some resources and providing it to an NPC


 * Treasure Hunter: a lone treasure hunter, they will run when you attack them. May drop loot bags as they flee, and when killed may even provide a treasure map.

Objectives and Rewards
Most Outbreaks will have a primary objective as well as 1-3 secondary objectives. The primary objective is usually to kill a main boss, whereas the secondary objective would be to defeat a number of their minions. If the primary objective is completed before the time runs up, the player will get a reward. The secondary objectives will grant a bonus to that reward.

Rewards are usually a treasure chest with gear, experience, and Valor points
