Premia Demon Quest

The most asked story of me has always been the Premia Demon Quest which was Knightmare organized and gave the 3 most fabled items, The Thunder Hammer, Enchanted Plate Armor, Golden Legs.

On June 16th, 2002 Premia had been recently introduced and cipsoft had released the update which featured the new island of Darashia. Me and several friends where exploring and clearing the Mino Tower when we recive a red broadcast (GMs had white BC, Cipsoft had red) . It informed us that an evil Demon has spawned on Premia, somewhere on Darashia and that he was practiciting deadly spells. To save our world we would have to defeat him (or steal his magical items).

The plot was a bit dry but never the less we assembled at the market on Darashia. Doombringer was the highest level at the time with 50ish, but he wanted no part of dieing and so refused to go. Nomak was the second highest and a good friend of mine but he was busy working and never logged in. If someone has a list of names of who went please let me know so I can make a list here. Those I do remember: Akitra, Sinner, Ishy kubaba, Ugraal, Xyldrael, Rauko Gurth, Mega Phobia, Vicotnic, Domsan, Gragner, Dalith, Sinth Ka'agar, Kusutoko Yomuro, Dizzy IV, Galarian, Hihual, Vawaz, and others.

At first we went to the hidden parts of Dwarfia, and found the light house. Thinking the demon might be there we ascended the tower with great difficulty as we where very low levelled and had only two mages with us with the unbelievable level of 30ish with magic around 40-50. Upon discovery that this was the wrong place we searched under the surface and took the south path where the necros are now.

Domsan setting up the rules.

We made it to the vampires, but found no Demon, no artefacts, and nothing except the death of Gragner I believe. Many had become discouraged at this point and left our party. It was only a handful that finally went up that north path and into the pentagon room. We found the rope up and sure enough a nice demon was waiting for us along with every undead worshiper in the entire continent.

As we had only two mages we knew we had to protect them at all costs and use their benefits to the fullest. I put my entire treasury to this quest, re-supplying the fallen and refilling the mages. Victonic, who had been my enemy for the entire time on Premia, set down his feud with me and others and took his possession as key mage. Akitra assumed the role of second key mage and together formed a tactic to destroy the undead legions.

One mage would go up with mana shield with the second would go up and UE right after. Both mages would then go down and refill. It took several UE in order to clear the room but it gave us the space we needed to give Mr. Demon a shot.

As you can probably tell from this screenshot with all the bodies and items littered about, our first attack was horribly unsuccessful. The demon quite literally blew us into pieces, and our total damage was whatever our SDs did which was 500 total at best. Each wave dropped its target, each summon crippled the blockers, and through it all the damn undead monsters we had previously killed where re-spawning. After most of us had failed that assault we planed for more. We tried several times without success and nothing but appalling death.

This whole place was fast spawning hell, even when cleared with UEs.

One of the many deaths and returns we took while on the quest.

The demon was causing too much pain for us and our team was getting smaller, with people giving up saying it could not be done. The GMs who where sent to oversee the quest for Cipsoft (Lawbringer AKA Knightmare) kept teasing us with funny broadcasts. Sadly all bribery and threatening did not help us get any closer to solving this very difficult quest.

We where finally down to the last hour that remained. We had one option left to us since the demon was beyond our server’s ability to kill. We would all go up and "distract" the demon while everyone else would go for the coffin containing the coveted artefacts. We needed every possible blocker we could find so Victonic offered to pay 1k per person who came to die in the service of this quest (which was a lie). Some did show, and it was Domsan who Victonic convinced to be the meat shield for one of the final UE bombardments. He made the mistake to force him into this possession by promising him a rare item.

We feel quicker then we planed and as I finally died to the demonic force, I saw in the corner of my screen one person. Victonic running towards the coffin. As I’m told Mega Phobia was the last to fall.

It was tense. I waited in Darashia temple for either Vicotnic to appear beside me or to hear his pm. Finally I received the happiest news in my Tibian life "I got it." I was a councillor at the time and I had the ability to BC. I BC'ed something about finally beating the quest. GM Lawbringer made a funny reply of his own about the demon being mad that his items where stolen and leaving in a huff.

Save was closing in and we got Vic to the depot and logged out.

In a surprise turn of events Vicotnic did not screw us all over like we had thought. He played fair and handed over the two items to me, keeping the Eplate for himself as was our deal. It was up to me to distribute the final Golden Legs rare as I had planed from the start to keep the Hammer. After much consideration, arguing, I decided that the legs belonged only to one person, the second mage who had made this quest possible. Akitra received these legs and Domsan was pissed. He felt betrayed because he had been promised a rare by Vic.

Domsan was spaming me hoping that it would change my mind.

I also was having a nice conversation with the good GM Lawbringer.

Domsan was a great friend of mine so after long arguments into the morning I finally gave him the hammer. After pretending to toss it away he gave it back. A risky manoeuvre but one worth it.

This next screenshot is the one I put on WoT to announce the victory of the quest. Back then it was the most powerful weapon in all of Tibia, the most powerful club in Tibia, the most powerful single handed weapon in all of Tibia.

I had made grand promises after that quest, promises I could not keep. I had looked up to players like Sir Balthar who sold their Ferumbras gaining and spread the wealth around to others who had fought against that monster. That is how I wanted it to be, to give everyone a taste of victory.

Unfortunately many players made it impossible. Every day people had the ignorance to PM me asking, demanding, or threatening for a peace of the Thunder Hammer. They weren’t interested in waiting, they wanted immediate payment. What nerve to demand from me something I was not obligated to do; only something I wanted to do!

After a week or two of this nonsense I had enough and I put it up for sale.

I showed the Hammer here to Argos who posted this picture.

This is what I sold the Thunder Hammer for: (prices where a lot higher then so its about 3milish)

Antica: HotS, E-Plate, 2 GS, Steel Boots, 150k, 4 DS, 4 K-arm, 3 K-leg, 3 WH, 1 P-amulet, 1 bh-shield, 1 FS, 26bp's with Hmm's, 2154 Burst's

Premia: 50k, 10bp's with sd's

 

I left Premia and never looked back. A lot of angry people continued to follow me and flame me for years after. No surprise that it was the same people who had threatened and demanded I repay them before. Vicotnic killed the last person who asked him to be paid for the quest and Akitra is reported to have given some small amount of goodies away to some askers. What a shame this quest produced only 3 rares, others deserved at least something for the time and effort they put into this quest.

I regret nothing.
