Event Brief

Da Drakey code is a race on the high sea, but to get your next destination you will need to decipher a riddle and sail there as fast as you can. There are five riddles to solve the first to reach the last island wins.

Registration

  • Register on the Hunters Events Forum with the name of the sloop, and the 2 mateys with you.
  • You need to have your sloop at Quetzal within 30 mins of Event Launch

  • Your captain Must be jobbed into the crew for ease of crew chat
  • Jobbing closes 5 minutes before event start
  • You must also have at least one representative at Quetzal Palace (TBC), to receive the first clue

What you do

  • The riddle will be broken down to tell you the island, location, and name of the alt you are hunting
  • Find the answer with your team, and sail to seas to get there as fast as you can
  • Port your ship at the dock and then hit the island and search for the alt
  • Send a trade request to activate the alt
  • Then the alt will send you a tell saying "Avast! You found me"
  • You reply "Yarrr, on me ship <ship name>
  • Verification of the ship at port takes place
  • You will then be given, via tell, the next riddle
  • The riddle will be mentioned Once and only to the person in your team who activated the alt
  • The alt disappears after the last team has found it
  • You then crack the next clue and sail to the next alt
  • Crack all 5 clues and get to the finish line to find the treasure
  • Once 1 hour is over - the event is over and the code and treasures are lost to Davy Jones
