Tucked away in seclusion near the Locksmehr River is place known as Bloodriven Village. Notorious to bandits, outlaws, and ruffians to congregate and do business. Located underground from the village, the infamous Duskruin Arena is a place of blood sports among the brave. Earn special scrip to buy a wealth of prizes. Duskruin Arena is a free event to spectators, with options to buy what you like, instead of a full-blown ticketed event.&lt;br /&gt;

There are still a lot of details about Duskruin we haven&amp;#039;t announced. But I can explain a little bit here, since it seems so long since the event was announced.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Duskruin Arena will be a free spectator event, where you&amp;#039;re welcome to watch and wander about at your leisure. If you have no interest in anything, you&amp;#039;re not stuck with an event ticket you&amp;#039;re unhappy with. Instead, you can buy into the event as much as you&amp;#039;d like. Things will not be for sale via silvers, but for bloodscrip. If you tried Troubled Waters, you&amp;#039;ll be familiar a little more with their blackscrip. Items will be for sale using this alternative currency. To earn bloodscrip, you&amp;#039;ll need to compete in the arena or wander into the catacombs under the village of Bloodriven.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&amp;#039;ll have more details soon, and by soon, I mean &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Real Soon Now!&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;

There will not be merchants and the like at the arena. Some shops may offer things that merchants will work on (ie, unlocking) at another time in the main game, though.&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
Duskruin has piqued a lot of interest since it was first mentioned at SimuCon 2014. It was originally slated for the spring time last year, but we decided to change up the venue on the event and try something new. So let me explain what this event is.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The event is free to be a spectator. You can come and go as much as you please. There are some sights and places to rest should you just like a place to roleplay. About 99.9% of all things for sale are priced with bloodscrip. To earn bloodscrip you can compete in the arena or search for loot in the sewers. To enter either of these, you will need a dueling slip or gold rat token. Both of these items will be in the SimuCoin store for 100 SimuCoins.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can go as much as you&amp;#039;d like, but will need a new dueling slip or gold rat token for each trip in. We have a large number of newly created items for sale. Brand new scripts and some really interesting things. Currently, we don&amp;#039;t have any ways to upgrade gear or unlock anything, but it will likely be something down the road that we do. So you can either spend your bloodscrip or save it for a later use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The arena is a PvE combat sequence with 5 levels of combat. You start off fighting beasts until you make it to the last round where you fight a champion. You have 5 minutes per round to defeat each level. As the timer ticks away, you will run into more environmental hazards in the arena, such as being slammed into a spiked wall or having arrows shot at you. Defeating the beast in a timely fashion will earn you bonus bloodscrip to your prize cache. Should you defeat the champion, you&amp;#039;ll also earn a temporary title of Champion until you log out. If you&amp;#039;re defeated, you&amp;#039;ll lose half the bloodscrip you earned. If you merely run out of time, you&amp;#039;ll just earn the bloodscrip that you were credited for until then. You can WATCH combatants as a spectator much like you could at Droughtman&amp;#039;s Maze Challenge. You can WATCH LIST to see a list of people in the arena at any time, and even CHEER them on. You can also YELL to those fighting!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The sewers are like a large-scaled Deserted Cottage from Ebon Gate. You go inside and just have to search around. You get 10 to 12 searches before you&amp;#039;ll be washed out. You have a time limit of one hour to do this. You mostly find bloodscrip, but can find random loot, or if you&amp;#039;re lucky enough, a rat. You can only catch one rat per time Duskruin Arena is around, which currently is a weekend at a time. The rats are amazing little pets created by GM Keios. The catch is, the rat is in a random location inside the sewers, and there are about 100 rooms. To add to the hunt, the sewers are constantly shifting, so it will be difficult to find it running around aimlessly. There are clues to know which way to go or if you&amp;#039;re in the correct spot. That&amp;#039;s up to you to figure out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bloodscrip will be a physical item you can REDEEM. But if you are defeated in the arena, the bloodscrip are added to your total, much like Troubled Waters. You can trade the physical bloodscrip you find, but you cannot trade after they are redeemed or applied to you. You will need to REDEEM them to be able to make purchased at the shops, they do not work like a promissory note.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The original design concept was created by GM Scrimge and arena/sewer mechanics were by GM Wyrom. GMs Haliste, Keios, Liia, Luneth, Scrimge, Reidyn, Valyrka, and Wyrom all created shops. GMs Haliste, Liia, Mazreth, Scrimge, and Wyrom all had a hand in painting the area. GMs Aulis, Haliste, Kaikala, Krellis, Sherlise, Spalt, and Vanah were huge helps with QC and testing, as well as various last minute needs to help get this out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We will likely be beta testing this event in Platinum, with free dueling slips and gold rat tokens, next week. More details will be posted in Platinum in the coming days. Feel free to post your questions, concerns, or excitement in this topic.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;I hope there will be a node or something to encourage some downtime RP here, I can see this being a great place for the less straight and narrow folk.&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is a tavern with a node, as well as a really awesome entertainer that comes in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;Quick question: Wounds we gain in the arena. Do they auto heal at the end, or do we need to put a healer on duty outside the arena?&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is a healer that works a little like Surtey from the Landing, but free.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;hooray more microtransactions for in game reward in a game we&amp;#039;re already paying too much for!&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Duskruin Arena was first conceived, the event was originally intended to be a $30 to $40 pay event. Based heavily on a survey that we offered awhile ago, we decided to change the venue to go with the poll&amp;#039;s highest results. Events that were free to enter, but you made microtrans purchases to buy what you wanted. This is a pay event, but it&amp;#039;s pay what you want to get out of it. If you just like to hang out, you can, for free. If you want some of the new scripted swag, then you can earn what you want. If you want to sell bloodscrip, we&amp;#039;re allowing that too here. Try not to look at it too negatively. We&amp;#039;re trying something new.&lt;br /&gt;

We&amp;#039;ll do it a handful of times a year. For now, we&amp;#039;ll keep it to weekend events. This is an unmanned event, so no GMs will be running anything like merchants. But unmanned doesn&amp;#039;t mean some poor dude (me) won&amp;#039;t be on all day watching over it.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;This sounds incredible. I know I want my little &amp;#039;bad guy&amp;#039; to engage in it, but it&amp;#039;s still somewhat unclear what is to be gained for the risk. Killing things, though, is no problem. I&amp;#039;m anxious to see the feedback from the Plat folks, to put some of the mystery into perspective.&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You earn bloodscrip, which can be used to buy items in the shops. Once Platinum tests it, they can provide logs which may help.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;Just to be clear, to participate in the arena (to engage in an activity with the opportunity to earn &amp;quot;bloodscrip&amp;quot;), costs SimuCoins?&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes. You buy SimuCoins, and then head into the SimuCoin store to buy either a gold rat token or a dueling slip (which ever you prefer to participate in). Each will cost 100 SimuCoins.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;So, I buy some SimuCoins, then I go and watch when the event is active, and when I&amp;#039;m feeling froggy, I tell the NPC I want to enter, and SimuCoins are deducted from my account? Then I get in line behind whomever else is feeling froggy and then I kill or be killed in the arena?&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yeah, the items won&amp;#039;t be limited, and we have about 200 arena rooms. So there shouldn&amp;#039;t be a line. If we have a line, I&amp;#039;ll pat myself on the back, because that means we have a lot of people loving the event.&lt;br /&gt;

Transport will be available in most towns. Solhaven, Cysaegir, and Mist Harbor do not have transport options. When the Arena is accepting challengers, look for a coachman or boatswain and catch a wagon or schooner to Bloodriven Village!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You will be able to catch a ride to Bloodriven Village at these locations:&lt;br /&gt;

If you&amp;#039;re a Platinum player, in case you haven&amp;#039;t checked over there... We&amp;#039;re doing a beta testing round this weekend. Huge thanks to everyone who jumped into it tonight.&lt;br /&gt;

Just noting here, beta testing was very successful in Platinum. I was able to round up a lot of players to help out. We even managed to get some stress testing of the system by maxing out the arena rooms (which is only 25 right now, it will be 200 after this weekend).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This means we will likely see Duskruin coming next weekend! I&amp;#039;ll have more news for everyone sometime in the middle of the week!&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;Couple questions, will tokens to the ratacombs or arena be dropped into the treasure system? I think that doing so would make regular treasure hunting more exciting and provide a tease what is reported to be an addictive game, drawing traffic to the Simustore as well.&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I don&amp;#039;t want to spoil it. But remember RtCF? Yeeeeah!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;Also, are runs of this game unlimited on the weekend?&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Right now, I need to focus it on my schedule to keep an eye on things. So weekends will be when it initial runs. We can keep it open longer once we&amp;#039;ve determined things are stable for Prime&amp;#039;s player base.&lt;br /&gt;

Tucked away in seclusion near the Locksmehr River is place known as Bloodriven Village. Notorious to bandits, outlaws, and ruffians to congregate and do business. Located underground from the village, the infamous Duskruin Arena is a place of blood sports among the brave. Earn special scrip to buy a wealth of prizes. Many new items will be debuted at Bloodriven Village, such as scarring razors, pet rats, whisper cloaks, garrote knives, nerve staves, and much more! Be sure to stop out and view the interesting locales and people of Bloodriven Village!&lt;br /&gt;

Rumor has it, some couriers who smuggled goods and combatants into the village were ransacked. They were carrying coin pouches with bloodscrip and dueling slips, as well as simple handbills, to deliver to known fences around Elanthia. Be on the look out to find them in treasure chests while you hunt!&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;Doh, me and Jaired took a trip on the trail to eleven nations looking for the red X.&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I was watching. Jaired was attacked! There actually might be some merit to looking around though. Just not yet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;FYI, the coin pouches can not be opened by F2P accounts. Just in case, you know, you happen to find one with your F2P character, and you get all excited...&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, this is a carry over from RtCF and trials. I will likely allow F2P users to be able to open them soon. But only new ones found.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;Has anyone received anything but handbills from these pouches? I have yet to hear from a single person who got a real prize out of them.&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Right now you can find bloodscrip and dueling slips. The bloodscrip are more plentiful, but are a low value. The dueling slips are more rare. To give some ideas on the system, your chances are much higher than pulling an RtCF voucher, if you were around for that treasure promotion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&amp;#039;ve been recovering still, so I was out of commission yesterday. But I&amp;#039;ll take a look at the rate and adjust where needed.&lt;br /&gt;

Any tied leather coin pouches found as of 11am ET today (3.16.15) can be opened by F2P users. Good luck!&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;Will we be able to sell duel slips? are you able to give away the ones you buy at simustore?&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;

You can sell them or give them away to other players. Nothing is attuned. Quite a few dueling slips have gone out already!&lt;br /&gt;

Just want to keep you all in the loop. Right now, you have to buy items from the store one at a time. Sometime soon, we&amp;#039;ll add ways to buy multiple amounts. Like a booklet of dueling slips or a jar of rat tokens. Sorry this wasn&amp;#039;t ready as we go live. There won&amp;#039;t be any discounts for buying in bulk, so don&amp;#039;t feel you have to wait. This is a convenience item only.&lt;br /&gt;

Two updates just went live.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can now buy tokens and slips in jars and booklets. You can buy bronze, silver, or gold jars or booklets which are 10, 25, and 50 in quantity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can now BUNDLE bloodscrip. There is no turning back after you combine them, so use sparingly.&lt;br /&gt;

Since nothing seems to be needing a reboot at this time, we will keep Bloodriven Village (Duskruin Arena) open until next Sunday (March 29th) at 9pm ET. We won&amp;#039;t be opening it up again until sometime after the Spitfire. So get your shopping done and make sure to use your dueling slips and rat tokens before we close up. If you do get left with anything, everything will be good the next time we open up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a general heads up, inventory MAY change between runs.&lt;br /&gt;

The Confluence is growing stronger as it quickly approaches Elanthia. Some of the extreme elemental disturbances that have been happening as of late may be felt even in the Duskruin Arena and many other outlying locations. Adventurers would do well to stay alert and be mindful of their surroundings as the Confluence draws closer to our world.&lt;br /&gt;

-- a dark mahogany kit with diamond-patterned pressed metal filigree: Tier 2 with special games&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
-- a cylindrical jet and pearl cloisonne case: Tier 2 with special games and holds 5k coins weightless.&lt;br /&gt;
