Jungle Ruins Rewards

edited March 2011 in General Discussion
After doing Jungle Ruins every week along with 3 others and analyzing rewards I think I figured out how it works. However this may not be 100% accurate so don't blame me if it isn't, I'm just speaking what I have in my mind about how it works.

There are 3 types of rewards, all independent of each other:

1) Main quest. You get it from the starting NPC that also allows you to exit to archo. The quest has a 2 hour time limit and it's a race to the end, because the longer you take, the less the reward.

If you finish below 10 min you get 1st prize which is 1.4 mil exp. 2nd prize is 1 mil exp and it goes lower the longer you take to finish.

2) Quests around the place. There are 5 NPCs in total scattered throughout the zone, each gives you a quest to do except first one which is an auto-complete quest. You get 1 Shattered Jungle Crest per quest which can be turned in at some starting NPC for 1 event gold (each). I thought you'd get something better if you turn in all 5 at the same time but to my disappointment it's just 5 event gold still >.>

3) Lucky draw. You choose a ring type (Heaven or Devil) from one of the starting NPCs, then later on in the magical stairways you choose a jade from many choices. When you get to the end you get a reward based on your choice (with luck too) from a harbringer of blessings.

Every week there is a random ring type selected as winner, and a random jade. If you have the correct ring for that week but not jade, you get 3rd prize. If you get the correct jade but not ring, you get 2nd prize. If you get both correct you get 1st. And none correct means no prize, it sucks yes D:

1st prize is the belt, 2nd is 99 celestial insignia and 3rd is 100 mirages and 100 socket stones.


As an example let's say the winning ring is devil this week and jade is flame.

Person A chooses heaven + flame, wins 99 insignia
Person B chooses devil + ash, wins 100 mirages 100 socket stones
Person C chooses heaven + karma, gets nothing
Person D chooses devil + flame and gets the belt


Hope someone finds this useful.

    I heard that you have to be first to finish to have a chance at the belt, but I'm not sure if that's true. There is though a message after 30 mins that says its too late to get the top prize.

    You also get event gold for each Jade you turn into the crest forger.

    The amount of charms and pots you burn in this fail event makes it not worth it in any way whatsoever. Who cares what the prize is?

    To get 1st place u have to do 2 things, finish in 10 mins, and pick the correct ring and jade, do one or either of those and you do NOT get 1st place.

    I'm pretty sure that is a translation error with some wrong text-database and meant that you cannot "enter" Jungle Ruins anymore, since it's only open for 30 min.

    First time took me way longer to finish and I still got 100 mirages 100 socket stones... not sure about belt but I don't think it's different.

    @Lanyiara: before you master it you burn a lot yes but then when you get good at it, even 100 mirages is more than what you use, at least for me. The only time it sucks is when I get no reward.

    Here's a tip into making the event more enjoyable. Don't wear a charm or use pots, you wont burn them if you dont wear them. You dont need a charm to get through the event, well I never have, and managed to get all the way to the end pretty much effortlessly, just gotta pay attention.

    Why the hell would you wear a charm when your going to jungle ruins?
    And pots, you mean for the burning bugs? Your a CLERIC, your heals are more than enough for them. (and don't even start about mp, mp food is almost free)

    @Haden: Charm in there is actually completly useles, since all the mobs that hit you 1 shot you. Exept the bugs, which you can easely pot against

    Most of the info Ash came up was speculation on my part and a translation from a chinese source using a guildie's chinese skills. He said that the "lucky draw" is indeed random... so the combination of ring+jade for a certain week has no basis off previous weeks or anything remotely close to a sign.

    So it's a completely blind guess, unless you wait for others to finish 1st, then let them world chat what they got, so you know what to pick and what not to pick. :P


    Also, burning bugs take off a percentage off your HP. Unequip your gear before you go in and you'll need crab meat to go through the zig-zag hallway after Magical Stairways... too many burning bugs there and you need to rush through. I can see BM/barbs having problems with burning bugs considering their huge HP and pots giving a fixed amount instead of % based.

    Oh and it does suck when you get no reward, but then again getting 99 insignias which you sell for ~160k each is awesome. b:dirty

    I read her post fine. The only thing she mentioned of a time limit was on the XP reward. The announce suggested a timelimit on the belt reward.

    Has anyone gotten the belt who didnt finish first?

    Use your brain,
    unequip your gears so your HP is down to 2-3k, et voila you only have 1,5k charm tick each death.

    Everything that deals damage inside, is pretty much based on your max HP.

    Perhaps because some people use charms, for various reasons, and once they are equipped they stay equipped for months?

    If by 1st place you mean Expedition 1st or w/e, just have to finish in under 12 mins or so for that exp/spirit reward. But if you mean the belt you can get the key to make it by being first to finish within just the 30 minutes, when I made the key I definitely took longer than 10 minutes but was first to finish and under 30 minutes.

    Still not too sure if you have to be first with the correct combination to make the key but most likely. Also not sure if you can get the 99 insignias without being first too so still needs some testing. The only person I know that got insignias as a reward was Linnkotsu.

    As to why people would wear a charm, it helps if you're doing the quest in Scorching Cloister, sometimes hp food isn't enough with Burning Bugs and Flaming Specters on you.

    I usually make more than I spend on the event but if I get no rewards I don't mind since it's still fun and I take the time to teach people how to do it after I'm finished and stuff. A lot of people don't like it but I love it heh.

    I've been 2nd person while Ash was first -- twice -- same combination both times. Around same completion time (10-15min). I did it on purpose (same combo) with Ash to test it out and see if it's indeed a lucky draw. :P

    First time I got 99 insignias, second time I got nothing. It is based on your jungle jade, because it says "1 Jungle Jade disappeared" from the inventory if you get the insignias reward. The ring (heaven/hell) also disappears if you get the mirages.

    I would assume both disappear if you get the key to make the belt... but as I have never got it, I can't confirm.

    Unfortunately Iliyria finished first I believe on 2nd week and got the belt... so the question if you need to be first AND have the correct combination is still open :(

    (also we (the group that tries to demystify it :P) got first numerous times, got all possible rewards except belt, including 100 mirages/socket stones, 99 insignias, and nothing at all! lol)

    UPDATE:

    So today I chose Heaven for Ring and Flame for Jade... and I got 99 insignias. This made me realize the correct combination for the ring was Devil + Flame... so I told a friend of mine to choose that. (well I actually world chatted to the whole server, heh :/ but not many finish it)

    Only problem is he finished in 33 minutes, after the "the time for rewards has passed" message. He apparently had to choose between either the Ring reward (100 mirages + 100 socket stones) or the Jade reward (99 insignia), but could not get the belt. He chose the insignias... and apparently couldn't get the other one.

    I am still not sure if you have to be the FIRST to get the belt... but I kinda doubt it. I think you just need < 30 min and the correct combination. And btw you don't need < 30 min for anything else. I taught a friend of mine how to run Jungle Ruins today and she got 100 mirages and 100 socket stones after... maybe 50min... so that time limit is only for the belt!

    And thank you Maiya for updating it. b:thanks

    I will update this thread with new info if I find anything of note.

    On sanctuary I saw this message 1 hour and 45 minutes after the event started.

    http://i.imgur.com/HDfLN.png

    I heard though he wasn't able to turn in the key to get the belt. This does confirm though you don't have to be first or finish very quickly to get the key but you may still need to finish in 30 mins to turn it in for the belt.

    Unfortunately I didn't get anything today, was a total fail combination. I had chosen Heaven & Pain but no one else who I knew finished it to supply me with the info of what they got except for Iliyria but she didn't get anything either... so I have no further info this week about the belt/prizes.

    *sigh* well I guess gotta wait another week. b:faint

    uhm, i shouldve made a screenshot from that time xD
    Borsuc is talking about me, i finished in 33 minutes after he told me correct combination.
    It said to receive best reward i gotta finish below 30minutes(red text that advised me to not choose the first grade reward option or i might get nothing)
    thou the text was rather confusing so i just went for the 99 Insignias.
    I only know one person on Raging Tide that has the belt and i think the time she got it she finished first but that doesnt mean u have to be first. So the only mystery left in jungle ruins for us is this :=) atleast something to find out for the next weeks. Sadly i missed this week due to real life :P

    A sin on our server knows the correct combination, he listed it in guild chat... next time he's on I'll ask him which combination is which. You can choose the combination for the belt, for the insignias or the mirages and socket stones. You just need to know which ring/jade to pick.
    I post in forums. This one and others. That's why I post.

    I think it is random every week because I tried same combination multiple times and got different results. But please do ask what he used -- I will use it next week and see what happens.

    Did Jungle Ruins today and came in first and made the key and turned in for the belt. Humm so told people the combination and a couple others made it to end with the correct combination w/i the half hour and did not have the choice to obtain the key just insignias or mirages/sockets. So it seems only one key can be made per week and still don't know if you have to be first to make it. Also it decomposes into 1 Stone of the Jungle and costs 100k to decompose (didn't do it though lol).

    Also had a problem trying to equip it for awhile after I made the belt; Inventory locked-down so dunno what that was about, but later on while still in the ruins I was able to equip the belt.

    I can confirm everything the OP has said about rewards is true, been doing ruins since the start. Also got the belt myself a couple months ago, been too busy to do it since tho :(

    http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r465/callum12341/2011-03-2401-42-17.jpg

    Seems the belts can be decomped, and the decomped material (Stone of the Jungle) can be combined into better grade belts if you have enough of them.

    Ruins seems to be mostly empty these days tho...most people whine about it being too hard and give up before they really get any practice in :\
    Would be far easier to get the belts if more people made it to the finish line to communicate about what jades/rings are good, as far as I know theres only 2 belts on my server, gotten within one week of each other funnily enough.
