Hello! This is heavily inspired by a very popular trend in Old School RuneScape where players self-restrict their character to certain regions / rules to make their game-play more interesting and challenging. OSMStory follows this concept by restricting the game-play to content only available in GMS up until 2007. So what is "Group SSF 2007 Ruleset"? Here is the GMS timeline that shows when content was released: -We start from scratch. New character! -We can only play in content released up until 2007 -This is everything from class, gear, map, consumables, scroll, etc. So this means: No 4th job No eye and face accessories, necklaces, rings, belts, and medals Certain scrolls that were not available in 2007 e.g. 60% Helmet for Dex Scrolls, Chaos Scrolls, White Scrolls, and more that I would need help identifying Max level weapon is Level 90 (I believe these were the highest level weapons in 2007) Items that did not exist in 2007 such as Facestompers -MapleRoyals has a system called "Godly" items where an item has a chance to add an additional +0 to +5 stat on a clean item (they usually glow blue on the item spirte when clean). We can't use/scroll these Godly items, and can only use/scroll items that are within the original range of stats that an item can roll. There are databases to figure these out: https://bc.hidden-street.net/ -Group Solo Self Found -Initially, the idea was to make this challenge Solo Self Found (SSF or Ironman), however, for the challenge to be more time friendly, I decided to make it Group Solo Self Found (Group SSF or Group Ironman). What this means: We cannot trade things outside of the guild. Buying from the free market is prohibited (there are special rules and exceptions for certain items, listed below) We have to farm all gear and scrolls by ourselves and can pool the resources and share the drops that we get e.g. clean gear and scrolls. to help each other out Hopefully, this will give enough challenge, but not too insane of a grind. This would also give more meaning to drops -Special Rules and Exceptions (The idea is to get rid of [arguably] boring grinds and add Meso sink): -You can buy/trade the following items from other players or free market: AP Resets Boss Summons (Papulatus: Piece of Cracked Dimension, Zakum: Eye of Fire) Onyx Apples Caveat to Onyx Apples: Only usable in bosses (so you can't blast through the FUN parts of training ) No Maple Weapons (Invalidates secondary stats, as a result, invalidates a lot of gear) You get something valuable from drops or Gachapon like White Scrolls or Chaos Scrolls etc.? You are free to trade those items to your main/alt account if you have one. Most important thing is to follow the rule set for your Group SSF 2007 character Lastly, I'm not going to investigate or police people for following the rule set. However, if you decide to join, please follow the ruleset so we can pretend it's 2007 again . After all, following the rule set is what should make this challenge fun! The goal is to hopefully recruit enough people and kill Zakum!
