==== beggar/pauper ====

NPC in a city (Deniran, Ados) who sits or stands at some place players often walk by – near a bank or a NPC who gives a repeatable quest. The NPC has a hat lying in front of him/her waiting for someone to put a coin or more in it. The NPC could be a disabled person or war-disabled, maybe without legs [https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BYjdkN2VhOWEtOGFkYy00ZGI5LWJkMjYtYjdmMTVhNGMxYmViXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyOTc5MDI5NjE@._V1_SX1777_CR0,0,1777,992_AL_.jpg (Eddie Murphy at the beginning of »Trading Places«).]

If players put money in the hat they receive 1 karma once a day or every 16h. The player could see a message like:"After doing a good deed you feel a little more fortunate." The money should not vanish after 10 minutes as usual but accumulate in the hat up to a certain amount (50 coins). And players should be able to see the money and take it out of the hat. But this would lead to a great loss of karma – 100 karma or so. The player could see a message like:"After stealing from the poor you can feel your luck running out." Other items should behave as usual (no karma, no penalty for taking, vanishing after 10 minutes) or it will be impossible to put them there.

The pink areas that block movement but allow placement of items could be good for the hat. (zones/*.xml)

==== Fighting ====

===== Hard winter / Onset of winter =====

===== Raid of pirates /vikings =====

===== Raid of albino elves =====

===== Dark elves try to overtake Nalwor City =====

===== Flora fights back =====

==== Gathering/Fetching ====

Besides those events with the main emphasis on fighting there can be some with gathering/fetching.

With changes done between 2020-09-19 and 2020-09-26 for the Mine Town Revival Weeks foundation for this kind of quests is done.

===== New ferry to Athor =====

*laurel wreath or something in profile for most helpful players (major donator(?) for new ferry) or a sign/commemorative plaque/monument at the pier that lists them.

===== New Tavern for Semos =====

Tavern needs to be disabled for some time. Instead smouldering and burning rests or building site. NPCs there either disabled too or can be found elsewhere with new dialogs, talking about what happened etc. Harold disabled as as additional motivation to help. He lies in a bed in the Semos hostel or temple were Carmen or Ilisa takes care of him. He got badly burned while heroically dragging out players' items out of the burning tavern. He saved everything, but trading is not possible until recovery (same time as finish rebuilding).

* in Tavern: Ricardo (disabeled), Margaret (selling outside), Xin Blanca (selling outside), McPegleg (selling outside), Ouchit (selling outside), Harold (disabled) times for offered items need to be frozen or simply reset.

* laurel wreath or something in profile for most helpful players (major donator(?) for new tavern) or a sign/commemorative plaque that lists them inside or next to the tavern.

===== Access to Sikhw =====

Opening new areas to the players could be combined with a unique Event.

When opening the Sikhw region there could be a great need of supplies for the soldiers. Imagine a wide gorge that is the only passage between Deniran an Sikhw. It is blocked by a (an improvised wooden) fortification with a (great) gate guarded by soldiers, mainly archers. They fight back the Blordrough. Fortunately it was quiet the past days after the last great attempt of the Blordrough to take the gate. During that attempt most of the arrows were used up and new supplies are ordered but have not arrived yet. The commander fears that letting the players go past the gate would attract the Blordrough and make them attack again. The players need to restock the defenders' supplies. This could be a good way to drain players' money pouches. High level players could need to fetch high amounts of power arrows, newbies low amounts of wooden arrows (for archers' or new recruits' training). Also newly arrived recruits could be in need of all kind of leather armor (assume archers wear leather).

===== Access to the north =====

When adding areas north of Semos region it could be necessary to remove a landslide first (remember the sign at 0_semos_mountain_n_w2 39 23!?). An area maybe 4 squares times 5. Every square has 100 or maybe 1000 units. Use a pickaxe to loosen the material then use a shovel to put the material into a wheelbarrow. Move the wheelbarrow with a maximum of x units (depending on distance) to the dumping zone and use it to empty it.

Important is, that pickaxe and shovel need to be hold in the hand with the other hand empty and the wheelbarrow needs two empty hands and one square can not hold more than two units of loose material. That way it would be to annoying to do it alone. And moving with full shovel is somehow prohibited so wheelbarrow is needed. Picking and shoveling should need some seconds for execution and pushing the wheelbarrow should slow down movement. The idea is that three or four players work at one square – one with pickaxe, one with shovel and one or two pushing wheelbarrows.

*pickaxe

*shovel

*pushable wheelbarrow to fill material in and to move it to a dumping zone (precipice or chasm)

* or to add more to it let players build railway tracks from wood and iron and use mine carts

One could think of even more. The working players need to take of all their armor, because it's to heavy and warm for working. This makes them vulnerable. But creatures targeting the workers spawn all the time so there need to be some guards who protect the workers. Questionable if that kind of division of labour would work. Risk for workers to loose XP/ATK/DEF if guards fail to do their job seems to be too big.
