Get as many eggs as possible!

This event is semi-automated and usually played with novices. All participants are warped into a room where they each get 50 unripe apple (poring tames), they must use those to gather as many Poring Eggs as possible once they are warped to a room full of porings. The time is not limited, so take your time to tame well. The prizes are distributed by a NPC, with usually an extra surprise to the winner.

If a true command is not obeyed or a false command is followed, the player who did so will be brutaly murdered, and he/she will not be resurected until the start of the next round. A round ends when there are a set number of players remaining alive. For example: the round starts with 10 players and will end when only 3 are left standing, those 3 get a good prize while others get a consolation prize.

Run with a monster : the players are warped to an area with monsters (can be morroc racing or elsewhere), they must attack one monster so it gets aggressive on them and follows them and bring the monster to a certain area of the map (usually the other side). Since this variation limits people to the speed of the monster it is not necessary to use novices. This variant can include pvp.

This event is usually played with novices. I will summon many looting monsters in a room (mostly porings, but also drops, santa poring and sometimes, poporings and even Stapo). Then I will proceed to drop items to them, these items usually range from not very useful to average and most of the time chance items are included as well. Once the room is ready the novices are summoned into it and may kill the monsters to their hearts content, thus finding the items dropped into them.

In this event all the players get 1 prize (no more, no less), all of them are warped in a special room. I open a chatroom with the name of an item as the title, the first 2 people who enter the chatroom get to fight for the item, the winner of the fight gets the item. The winner cannot participate again for the rest of the event, but the person who lost the fight may try again until they win. At some point one item will have "last item" in front of it in the title of the chatroom, this means what it says, that is this one is the last item, everyone left with no prize gets a consolation prize (usually obb or gb).

Latest revision as of 03:45, 20 April 2024

Here's a list that will allow any players to get accustomed to most of the common events that they may encounter on our server and their variations. GMs are not limited to this list of course, surprises and new variations are always welcomed.


Some events are played with novice characters, usually called a "Novice Event" in heRO. When this occurs, the GM in charge of the event will ask you to create a new novice with your name followed by 4 numbers (usually the date, in the format of mmdd). For example, GM-Pandora would create Pandora0926 for an event held on the 26th of september.


Prizes: The prizes for each event will vary. Usually, they will often be composed of chance items. Chance items include the following:

  • Old Card Album (OCA): Gives a card at random, can even give mini-boss card, but not MVP
  • Old Purple Box (OPB): Gives a random item from a list that contain a lot of useful equips, but also some useless loots)
  • Old Blue Box (OBB): Gives a random item from a list that contain a few useful items, but a lot of useless loots)
  • Gift Box (GB): Comes in a variety of colors, gives a random item from a list that contains stones, dolls, potions, herbs, gifts, etc.)
  • Wrapped Mask: Gives a random chance to win a Mask equipment)
  • Hatter Voucher: Gives a chance to win one of Hatter's many hats instantly!)
  • Bloody Branch: Summons a random MvP! (note: potential MvP from Bloody Branches are modified from official setting in heRO)
  • Poring Box: Summons a random Poring monster (including custom monsters)


For a list of current ongoing events and events in the past, check out the heRO Events page along with the Event Archive.


Trivia

Test your quickness and your RO knowledge.

The GM will ask a series of question, be the first person to answer it correctly and you will get a prize! Listen well to know how the GM wants the answer (either by PM, in normal talk or by entering the answer as a password to a chatroom).

A periodic Riddle Event is also available in the heRO forums!

Monster Invasions

Fight off the monsters invading a particular town chosen by the GM!

A popular event, the GM will summon monsters and you have to kill them. Sometimes, a storyline will be included in this event.

Other variations

  • Trivia Invasion : Held in a town (usually Izlude), the person who answers the question correctly gets to choose the next monster to be summoned in the Monster Invasion event.
  • Dice Invasion : The GM will make a list of the players present at the event, and each one will get a turn to choose the next monster to be summoned. A dice can be rolled to see if this monster will be MVP (usually 6) or normal monster (usually 1-5).
  • Breaking the Seal: The GM summon endlessly unless the Seal is destroyed by the players. Break the Seal in this Monster Invasion!
  • Merchant Defender: Players must protect a vending, idle merchant against the GM's waves of Monster Invasion!

Hide and Seek

Will you find me?

A simple event, the GM hides and you must find him/her. The GM will inform you at the start of the settings of the event, will he/she be in a town? Inside or outside buildings, hidden or visible, etc.

Other variations

The GM will give you a clue as to which map he/she is in rather than telling you.

GM Says

Can you listen?

This event is similar to the game "Simon Says", in which the GM will give commands and if they are preceded by "GM says..." the command must be obeyed and otherwise must be ignored.

For example: "GM says sit down" -> All participants must sit their character, those who don't are eliminated. "Now stand up!" -> Anyone who stands will be eliminated because the GM did not say "GM says".

If a true command is not obeyed or a false command is followed, the player who did so will be brutally murdered, and he/she will not be resurected until the start of the next round. A round ends when there are a set number of players remaining alive. For example: the round starts with 10 players and will end when only 3 are left standing, those 3 get a good prize while others get a consolation prize.

Note: Replace GM with the actual name of the GM host when applicable.

Poring Smash

Who knows what they might hold!

This event is usually played with novices. The GM will summon many Poring type monsters in a room or a map. Then he or she will proceed to drop items to them, these items usually range from not very useful to average and most of the time chance items are included as well. Once the room is ready the novices are summoned into it and may kill the Porings to their hearts' content, and finding the items dropped into them.

Other Variations

It is sometimes also done free for all to participate regardless of players being Novices or not. The GM may also summon more Poring type monsters to refill the map and there may even be a boss in the end!

Fight for Items

Wait for the right one, but don't wait too long!

In this event all the players get 1 prize (no more, no less), all of them are warped in a special room. The GM opens a chatroom with the name of an item as the title. The first 2 people who enter the chatroom get to fight for the item, with the winner of the fight earning the right to receive the item. The winner cannot participate again for the rest of the event, but the person who lost the fight may try again until they win or the event ends. At some point, one item will have "last item" in front of it in the title of the chatroom, this means that is it is the last item. Everyone left with no prize gets a consolation prize (usually a old blue box or gift box).

This event will sometimes include a level restriction and/or will be restricted to non-trans characters.

This event is often followed by some mass PVP fight, which usually do not give any prize.

Crazy Merchant / Hide and Seek

They offer nice items for ridiculously low prizes!

Where are their shops? No one knows! They can be in a town, field, dungeon, or almost anywhere! And they won't close the shop until all the items are found~! They can be anywhere and look like anything, but their name is always going to be "Crazy Merchant".

The crazy merchant is NOT in the following maps/types of maps:

  • Jail Map
  • Maps that require a party to enter (Thanatos Tower, etc)
  • Maps that require a quest to enter (Ayothaya Dungeon, Kiel Factory, Nameless, etc)
  • Locations that can only be accessed via events (Novice Island, Muspelheim, etc). This does not include locations that are opened temporarily after Chronicle of Heroes events.
  • PVP or GVG Maps (PVP Arena, Battlegrounds, Inside WoE castles)

These rules only apply to every event instance unless otherwise specified in the crazy merchant announcement posts.

Slightly west to the spawn point of Alberta, there is a Crazy Merchant Fan that you can talk to in order to see if a Crazy Merchant has been found yet or not without GM presence.

Other Variation

Shopping : This is played with novices who only have 500 zeny each (received at character creation). A shop is opened with cool items at 500 zeny or less. This event often follows another event.

Item Hunt

Hurry up and gather all!

Like the title says, in this event you will hunt items. GM will give you a list of items to bring back, hurry up and get them all to win! This event is sometimes played in teams, sometimes it's solo hunt.

Other Variation

Trivia Item Hunt : The GM will give you a clue that describes an item, bring it back to win a prize!

DB Party

What will come out? Can you handle it!?

This is a simple event where a GM will crack a lot of DBs (dead branches) which will summon lots of monsters, have fun killing them... but be careful that sometimes a BB (bloody branch) will be broken to call a boss monster to the battle as well! Can you defeat them all?


Kill the GM

If you can..

Ever dreamed of killing a GM? Now here's your chance! He or she might be wearing GM rings, or might not (you'll be informed). Have fun! But be careful, they bite back!

Bone Collector

Are you one?

This event is usually played with novices or with characters of the same level. PVP is enabled, kill players and pick up their skulls. Snatch skulls from the remains of dead players if you have to! Collect the most skulls to win!

Auction

Who will pay the most?

The GM names an item and a starting price, bid for the good until .. going once.. going twice.. sold to the person who offered the most! Sometimes a bid increment will be mentionned, that is the minimum amout you can add.

Other Variation

Sometimes this is also done with novice (usually following a novice event such as Poring Smash or Fabre Tame), who all have 500 zeny from character creation.


Run, Hydro, Run!

Players work together in a long maze infested with monsters and traps to escort a poor little novice to the end! The maze often follows a specific theme or a common element, with a special guardian, usually a powerful miniboss or a boss monster. A GM luring the ultimate Event Hydro, or in the disguise of the Event Hydro, chases closely behind the team. If everyone is killed by the Hydro and the GM, it is all over! Run fast!

As long as one member of the party is not killed by the Hydro, the game keeps going on. Prizes are determined strictly by the percentage of players who survive to the end.

(Recommended Items: Speed Potion)


Crystal Challenge

The Crystal Challenge is, or should be, a test of wit, skill and teamwork. Participants must travel through a specified map or series of maps to find and destroy all crystals. It's usually done with a single team, or 2 if it's a competition. If there's 2 teams they can be divided by allegiance, etc., and are usually done in different days since the event can take a long while.

The event takes place in a single map or several maps connected by warps. There can be GM spawned mobs and bosses, official or custom, or specifically made for the event.

Usually, there are a total of 5 crystals hidden within the event area, and they must be destroyed within a time limit (optional). Map-wide ressurrections can be provided or limited to a certain amount at GMs choice.


The Flower Maze

Flower Maze

One wrong step and it's all over...

Walk through a dangerous maze filled with immovable monsters as a helpless novice try to navigate the maze to find treasures and the end to escape! Beware of traps and don't be greedy!

Some mazes have novices work together to find bonuses that results in a better prize overall, while some mazes asks for individual work to try to find prizes by destroying various plants that symbolize different prizes depending on the name of the plants.

Meteor Dodger

Fire that falls from the sky...

Deadly meteors randomly fall from the sky to crush all in its impact zone. Defy the wrath of the heavens and be the last novice standing!

The Maneaters

Similar to Meteor Dodger game as a novice event, except that the GMs are teleporting in a small area sprouting deadly man eating plants to kill the novices! Run away from the GM if he/she appears near you and may Lady Luck be with you so you can be the last novice standing against a growing population of the maneaters!

Don't Dice Me!

A platform is divided into 5 sections, labeled the number 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. Novices are scattered and can run around the platform. The GMs roll a dice and will destroy everyone on the part of the platform with the label number being the same as a dice roll. (number 6 for a dice roll means that everyone is safe.) Try to be one of the last novices standing in the end!


Werewolf!

This event is based on a card game called Werewolf, which in turn is based on another game called Mafia (all to say it's not an original idea but it is adapted into an event in heRO).

It's an event for people who like roleplaying, and there is no killing involved (no PVP, no PVM). A certain amount of maturity is required, as well as a decent understanding of the English language.

It requires at least 7 people to play, but the more the merrier! It's a game of accusations, lying, bluffing, second-guessing, assassination, and mob hysteria!

This event is quite long to explain, so if you plan on participating please read carefully as we want to avoid having to repeat the rules in game which can take a while meaning less time to actually play.

Some rules may be slightly different depending on who is the host of the game. Ask the game host for specific details on the rules.

The Werewolf rules are so long that they get their own page! See Werewolf rules for more information.

Minority Rules

"Minority Rules" is an RP daily style event in heRO, adapted from a japanese manga. No PvP or PvM is involved for this RP game, thus levels/classes are completely irrelevant. Fluent English speaking abilities will be necessary though.

See here for more information.

Duck Duck Circe Dinner

This event is based on Duck Duck Goose to a variation. The GM hosting will warp players to an area where they are advised to sit or stand in a spot. The GM will pick a starting point and then /dice to see how far they are going to move, the characters on that spot are then Devoured (killed).

The GM hosting has the right to allow or disallow you to be able to move locations, but only when they say so. They also may or may not strike out an entire row, when the numbers become low.

This event was created by GM-Rahice when she first started here, it was named after her mentor and friend, GM-Circe, who no longer is a GM.

Treasure Hunt

A sneaky GM will edit one old post from the sea of threads in our heRO forums to add a Treasure Hunt indicator, and it's your job to find it! Usually comes with a hint.

The first person to find the indicator and link it to the GM wins the promised reward!

Other Variation

Sometimes, the first hint is a hint to reach the second hint and so on, just to add to the challenge of finding the indicator!

Screenshot Game

A screenshot made by a GM is posted onto the forums, and players are required to find the location of where the screenshot took place and attempt to take a similar screenshot, resembling the screenshot that the GM posted as accurately as possible to win prizes.

Camera position, character position and angle, lighting, screen resolution are all taken into account when judging for the most accurate screenshot replica while the character's job and gender do not matter.
