🏟️ Colosseum and adventures

The Colosseum, Arena and Adventurers’ Guild run automated adventures in The Vault Discord. You enter a game, follow the bot's story and receive any rewards when it finishes. The games use the credits, XP and items explained in Economy.

Choose an adventure

The Colosseum and Arena have daily signup windows. Guild quests start through a shared queue when you use a Quest Scroll (Figure 19.3).

Figure 19.3: Three ways to join an adventure

The entry requirements are:

The bot runs the battles and quests automatically. You do not need to choose combat moves. Colosseum and Arena entries are separate, with a separate fee for each.

Enter a daily battle

Use the current signup post in the activity's channel to enter.

The daily schedule uses UTC:

The next day's signups normally open after the Colosseum finishes. Check the current signup post for the event date and status. If an event is cancelled because it does not have enough participants, its entry fees are refunded.

Colosseum games and rewards

The Colosseum rotates through four modes. Every real participant in a completed event receives one raffle ticket, including those who lose or are eliminated. Credit and XP prizes are awarded separately.

The weekly schedule is:

Credit payouts are the amounts added after paying the 1,000-credit entry fee. A 2,000-credit payout therefore means a net gain of 1,000 credits. Receiving no credits means the entry fee remains spent.

How the event pot grows

The pot starts with a 10,000-credit contribution. Each signup adds the entrant's 1,000-credit fee and a matching 1,000-credit contribution, increasing the pot by 2,000 credits. The pot is used for Obstacle Course and King of the Hill prizes; Carnage and Boss Battle use the fixed rewards listed above (Figure 19.4).

Figure 19.4: Building the Colosseum prize pot

For example, 10 entrants create a 30,000-credit pot: 10,000 plus 10 times 2,000. Check the current event post for its actual total.

Carnage

The bot assigns you to the red or blue team at signup and keeps the teams balanced. You follow the narrated battle as players are eliminated. If your team wins, you receive 2,000 credits even if you fell earlier in the battle. Members of the losing team receive no credits. Everyone still receives the participation ticket.

Carnage needs at least two entrants. It rewards the team result, so surviving to the end is not required to receive the winning team's payout.

Obstacle Course

The bot narrates the course and eliminates entrants as it progresses. The podium receives the event pot in a 50%, 35%, 15% split (Figure 19.5).

Figure 19.5: Obstacle Course podium prizes

With the example 30,000-credit pot, first place receives 15,000 credits, second receives 10,500 and third receives 4,500. These are gross payouts; subtract the entry fee to calculate net winnings. Other entrants receive no credits. If fewer than three finishers are available, only the occupied podium places are paid at their stated percentages; unused shares are not redistributed. Every participant receives one ticket.

Boss Battle

Everyone fights the same boss. If the group wins, every participant receives 2,000 credits and 1,000 XP, including anyone eliminated during the fight. If the boss wins, every participant receives 500 XP and no credits. Everyone receives one ticket in either outcome (Figure 19.6).

King of the Hill

The bot runs an elimination contest until one entrant remains at the summit. That winner receives the entire pot. A 30,000-credit pot pays 30,000 credits to the winner, a net gain of 29,000 after the entry fee. Other entrants receive no credits, and every participant receives one ticket.

Arena duels

The Arena runs daily, separately from the rotating Colosseum event. Entrants are paired for one-on-one automated battles. An unpaired entrant faces a bot opponent. Each real participant in a completed duel receives one ticket (Figure 19.7).

The credit outcomes are:

Adventurers’ Guild quests

Quest Scrolls come from approved artwork, role rewards and other community activities. Each scroll buys one quest. Quest tiers range from E to S, and the bot randomly determines the adventure and its outcome.

Completed quests award XP. Credits and raffle tickets depend on the quest's tier and outcome, so every quest does not award every reward type. The level 50 requirement for crystals does not apply to spending Quest Scrolls.

Quest tiers and prizes

Each quest randomly receives a tier and an outcome. The current tier chances are E 35%, D 25%, C 20%, B 10%, A 7% and S 3%. Outcomes are success 60%, neutral 25% and failure 15%. XP and credit amounts are rolled within the ranges below.

A reward type omitted from a cell is not awarded for that outcome. Even a failed quest awards the listed XP. Quest rewards are separate from the guaranteed participation ticket for completed Colosseum and Arena battles.

The Guild also hosts the crystal system, where members at level 50 or above can exchange surplus XP for crystals and sell them for credits. See Crystals and XP for the conversion rules.
