[CONTEST] Design the Next TOS Weapon!

Greetings, Saviors!

We’ve previously introduced accessories, toys, and even Companions based on players’ ideas, and now are giving you the chance to design your own appearance weapons for TOS! Is there a unique weapon concept you’d like to have in the game? Submit your idea and you could see it become a real in-game item!
 

Event Period

Submissions:

FROM October 24, 2018 (EDT)
TO November 27, 2018 (EDT)

- Winners announced on December 4, 2018 (EDT).
- 1st rewards (titles and cubes) sent during the scheduled maintenance of December 4, 2018.
- Selected weapons sent to corresponding designers after the items are added to the game (release schedule to be announced at a later date).
 

How to Participate

STEP 1. Design your appearance weapon idea. It can be as quirky or extravagant as your imagination allows, but keep in mind that it needs to be feasible enough to work as an actual weapon in-game.

- You can design the following types of weapons: Bow, Cannon, Crossbow, Dagger, Mace (one- or two-handed), Musket, Pistol, Rapier, Rod, Shield, Spear (one- or two-handed), Staff, and Sword (one- or two-handed).

- You can submit more than one design, but only one design for each type of weapon (you can’t submit two Pistol designs, for example, but one Pistol and one Dagger is fine). One-handed weapons count as a separate type from two-handed weapons (so, for example, you can submit one 1H Mace design and one 2H Mace design at the same time).

- We recommend you submit your image in PSD format and at least 800 x 600 in size, or a size large enough to show all of your design’s details clearly.

- You could provide the PSD format files by link - (google drive, etcs) as well So the format will look like, the picture of your design, and the PSD files link under

- You are free to add gimmick suggestions to your weapon, like visual or sound effects.

- If you want, you can also suggest content for your weapon’s tooltip (e.g. “This item was designed by [team] from [server].”)


STEP 2. Submit your design(s) to the Fan Art category in the forums until November 27, 2018 (EDT).

- If you have multiple designs to submit, please add them all in the same thread.

- In your post, make sure to include your team name, server, concept image(s), item description and gimmick/tooltip ideas.

- Title your post in the following format: [Weapon Costume] Team Name // Server

- If you’re unsure of how to submit your design(s), click here to see Staff_Bob’s example post (don’t worry, we won’t pick his design, as lovely as it is).


STEP 3. A total of 10 players will be nominated by our TOS development and design teams. We will select one or more designs from each player’s submission according to quality and feasibility, in order to adapt and release them as in-game appearance weapons.

- The list of nominated players and selected weapon designs will be released on December 4, 2018 (EDT).


STEP 4. All 10 nominated players will receive a special in-game title (‘TOS Weapon Designer’), a set of Goddess’ Blessed Cubes (10+1) and any appearance weapon(s) created based on their design(s).

- Titles and Goddess’ Blessed Cubes will be delivered via in-game Message Box during the scheduled maintenance of December 4, 2018.

- Appearance weapons created based on winning designs will be delivered to the corresponding creators after the items are ready to be introduced in the game (release schedule to be announced at a later date). Note that nominated players will only receive the weapon(s) created based on their own winning design(s), not those of other players.
