-- The NGoR Mansion --
home of our holiday drop parties!
----------------:NGoRlogo:----------------


 For those who have missed everything JAGeX once did, but later ended up 'selling out' on the players of the world who love free, but hate to pay.. your time has once again arrived! The NGoR stands to build back that excitement you've come to love about the holiday season. I'm talking about a multiple Drop Party (DP) day!

And we won't plan these on those hard-to-attend days, when you know your parents will be yelling at you for being on (worst case being if there was a holiday drop scheduled on Christmas Eve.. obviously that would be impossible to attend, when your parents want you in bed the night before Christmas). We will either schedule a day for multiple DPs prior to, or after, the actual day in which the holiday occurs.

So, make sure to keep your homepage with us when any holiday is nearing, to make sure you don't miss one! Guaranteed minimal drop of 7 Runite items per DP, 28 Runite items per day!*** No 'junk/useless' items will be dropped.** Guaranteed minimal 30 minute, average 1 hour, constant DP length.* (***Subject to increase at any time; and with donations from various players/clans/organizations.) (**All items are a minimal value of 200+ gold coins. Anything dropped of lesser usability/value is from individual/outside players.) (*Events will not begin late, but are subject to 5 - 10 minutes early beginning possibility.)

Tell your friends, all are welcome to join in the fun, and help you/themselves to get rich easy!

Holiday Drop Party


Basic Facts:
- 4 (or more) party times
- 1 party between 12 PM and 5 PM for every timezone (nice if possible)
- 7 (or more) "rare" items per party
- 28 (or more) "rare" items per holiday
- 750 (or more) "low" items per party
- 3000 (or more) "low" items per holiday

Rune Chainmail = 64 500 (64k and 500)
64 500 x 8 = 1 806 000 (1m and 806k)

3,000 "low" items (at 150 per) = 450 000 (450k)
1m 806k + 450k = 2 206 000 (2m and 206k)

- Average expenses for each holiday drop: 2 206 000 (2m 206k)


Party schedule:
__________ #1 ____ #2 ___ #3 ___ #4
GMT -10 ___ 7 AM __ 10 AM __ 1 PM _ 4 PM
GMT -5 ____ 12 PM _ 3 PM __ 5 PM __ 9 PM
GMT ______ 5 PM __ 8 PM __ 11 PM _ 2 AM
GMT +10 __ 3 AM __ 6 AM _ 9 AM __ 12 PM


Time Ratio:
holiday = 4 drop parties
1 drop party = 1 hour

1 hour = 60 minutes = 3,600 seconds
1 item every 5 seconds = 750+ drops per party
3 000+ items per holiday


Why the mass recruitment?
If each member (at 200) donates only 13 (any combination of "low" items listed below), it will cover the main holiday drops (lacking only the "rare" drops).

At 500 members, each player will only need to contribute 6 (any combination of "low" items listed below).

- "low" items:
Adamante Bar
Adamante (gear)
Adamante Ore
Amulet (diamond/emerald/ruby/saphire)
Attack Potion
Black (gear)
Coal Ore
Diamond (cut/uncut)
Emerald (cut/uncut)
Iron Bar
Iron Ore
Lobster (cooked/raw)
Mithril Bar
Mithril (gear)
Mithril Ore
Ruby (cut/uncut)
Saphire (cut/uncut)
Steel Bar
Steel (gear)
Strength Potion
Swordfish (cooked/raw)

- "rare" items:
Runite Bar
Runite (gear)
Runite Ore

*If you have suggestions for drops, let us know. We accept those listed above, may refuse items not listed, at NGoR's decression.

What does each hour of drops look like?
Posted Image



Holiday "Droppers" and the layout of drops:

___item____________party__________holiday
Runite_______________7_______________28
Adamante Ore________50______________200
Mithril Ore___________50______________200
Iron Ore___________125______________500
Swordfish (cooked)___125______________500
Coal Ore___________200______________800
Lobster (cooked)____200______________800

Total "low" drops:____750_____________3000
Total "high" drops:_____7_______________28



Hired "droppers":

We are also seeking a total of 5 (trusted) members of the NGoR to drop donated items during each DP.

"Drop items" will be provided by the NGoR. Pay is 250 lobsters per hour of dropping items (may be shorter, based on time needed to drop items provided).

If you are willing to be hired, post a reply to the current holiday drop discussion for the next DP to be scheduled. After the primary 5 are chosen, all other names shall be submitted as substitutes, if one of the primary "droppers" are not present at time of a DP.

*(Added expenses of 1250 lobsters per party, 5000 lobsters per holiday.)

___item____________party__________dropper
Adamante Ore________50______________10
Mithril Ore____________50______________10
Iron Ore____________125______________25
Swordfish (cooked)____125______________25
Coal Ore____________200______________40
Lobster (cooked)______200______________40

Total "low" drops:_____750_____________150

Drop Format:

  • Unnoted items to be dropped.
  • Runes are dropped in stacks 25 - 100.
  • Gold coins are dropped in stacks of 1 000 (1k) - 10 000 (10k).
  • No item is dropped under value of 100 - 150 gp each.

Lack of item "droppers":
If you are the only person to help the DP, you will get half of the items, and I will do the other half. (The more "droppers" who show, the less items you will be responsible for.)

Pay will be per hour, and also based on how many other "droppers" didn't show, for which you are covering. (The more "droppers" who show, the less pay you will receive per hour.)


item "droppers" ________ "drop" items ________ pay/hour

5 ________________________ 150 _______________ 250
4 ________________________ 187 _______________ 312
3 ________________________ 250 _______________ 416
2 ________________________ 375 _______________ 625
1 ________________________ 375 ______________ 1250

Even if you don't have items or time to buy items to donate, you can donate gold coins. It will either go to fund the prize for recruitment contests, or else to buy some more, or rarer items for one of the DPs for each holiday season.

Well, yeah. So if we can all agree, I will first gather the items on my own, and those players donate, and we will begin to advertise this for a day, and start to give exact times for that 1 day of drops. But it's best before the holiday, rather than after it.

Yeah, I much rather everything the NGoR stands for be devoted to bringing back at least some of the holiday drops that once were. It makes much mroe cause of interest, rather then just offering free this or that. It now becomes a chance for this or that item. ;)
