Conditional Adventures

[ Return to Game Mechanics ]

In addition to the general taxonomy of encounters, many encounters will only appear when a certain condition is met. Lucky Adventures are a well-known example of this type of game mechanic. In some cases there might be multiple versions of an encounter. As an example, consider Arboreal Respite -- it can be found as a regular noncombat or a superlikely adventure. Each version has a separate condition:

• The regular noncombat will not appear until 5 turns have been started in the zone.
• The superlikely is possible when 7 or 8 turns have passed since Arboreal Respite has been encountered. In a certain sense it will then occur 100% of the time, but encounters that have a higher priority (see the page for encounter) will still trump it.

This page will attempt to explain the various conditional mechanisms used in the game.

Delayed Adventures

• Some encounters cannot appear until a certain number of adventures have been spent in the zone.
• Everything but free non-combat encounters count as adventures spent in a zone, regardless of whether or not an adventure is actually spent on the encounter. This means all Free fights (free kills, free runaways, and fights vs. certain types of monsters that never cost an adventure to fight) that are spent in the zone count toward counting down the delay in that zone.
