    This came up in /u and it seems "rocks" are anything whose internal name prefaced with "rock", which in human terms is Clay, "clay fragments" (presumably Balls of Clay?), Granite, and Quartz. Of these four it's Granite and Quartz that drop in Spectral Mines.

    Hopefully Winston can pop in and confirm/correct this.

    New information and approach for R102 Treasure Hunt (Gathering Hunt)
    • Pay close attention to what is to be gathered as listed in the categories below!
    • You need to kill certain things in the scenes to get what is needed.
    • The looted items will be automagically counted by my new pet "Data is Boaring" boar. He's pretty helpful, when he's not sleeping.
    • If you have any questions, fire away! (at the boar of course).

    CLARIFICATION ON R102 LOOT TO BE GATHERED.

    I want to clarify SPECIFICALLY what is counted in the two Treasure Hunt contests. Some players asked and I answered to them. So here are the details.

    Reference: https://sotawiki.net/sota/User:Winston/Treasure_Hunt_Status_R102 - Status Board.

    PVE Scene - Sequanna Colossus -
    • Gather: Corpion Tail, Wolf Head, Long Bow
    • The actual Display Names of the items need to be: "Corpion Tail", "Wolf Head", "Long Bow"
      • "Shoddy Long Bow" does not qualify. It is a completely different item, in the data-realm.
    PVP Scene - Dysborg Ruins -
    • Gather: Staff, Wand, Sword, Longbow, Essence, Pollen
    • The actual Display Names of the items needed are: "Lesser Staff", "Lesser Wand", "Kobold Essence", "Kobold Slag Sword", "Shoddy Longbow", "Chaos Plant Pollen"
      • Here, in this scene you do want to get "Shoddy Long Bow". I count items in each scene separately in the data-realm.
    It is up to you players to figure out what monsters to kill for these loot items as quickly as possible, and which monsters to avoid that will slow you down. Such is the increasing intrigue and challenge of the contests.

    If you have any questions, let me know. Please pass the word to your fellow competitors... or not. Hah! Keep your competitors in the dark if you want to slow them down. Up to you! FUN!

    As Winston noted, he is discontinuing this contest effort, we have outlined procedures for players to obtain trophies for player run contests here.

    Ad hoc Dev run contests and events will still be run (watch for announcements on the forums, in Discord or during Official Twitch Streams ), where prizes, Trophies and/or Titles can be awarded.
