Solo MvP Ladder Instance (Beta)

[Administrator]

🏆 MVP Ladder – Daily Solo Challenge

A brand-new competitive feature is here: MVP Ladder — a solo, instance-based daily contest where skill, preparation, and speed decide the winners. Enter as many times as you want, climb the rankings, and claim a share of a growing zeny pot.

NPC Location: @go Prontera
THIS INSTANCE IS UNDER BETA TESTING. PLEASE REPORT ANY BUGS AND/OR SUGGESTIONS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

---

📌 How It Works

• Entry Fee: 500M Zeny per run

• Daily Pot: Starts at 25b every day

• Pot Growth: Every entry adds +500M Zeny to that day’s pot

• Solo Instance: 1 player per run — no parties, no help

• Unlimited Entries: Try as many times as you want (pay per attempt)

---

⚔️ The Challenge

• Each day at 00:00 server time, 10 MVPs are RANDOMLY selected. This means a new pool/order of MvP every day.

• Everyone fights the SAME 10 MVPs in the SAME order for that entire day.

• You must defeat all 10, one at a time.

• After each MVP is killed, the next one spawns 10 seconds later.

• If you die at any point: the run ends immediately, the instance is destroyed, and you must pay again to retry.

---

🧭 Preparation Matters

The Entrance NPC displays:

• Today’s 10 MVPs in order

• Current Pot Total

• Top 50 Fastest Times (Today)

• All-Time “Most Days Won” Leaderboard

• Prize Claim Option (for winners)

You can check the lineup before entering so you can gear and plan accordingly.

---

⏱️ Scoring & Rankings

• Your completion time is recorded when you defeat the 10th MVP.

• Fastest times rank higher.

• A Top 50 leaderboard is maintained for the current day.

• A historical leaderboard tracks characters with the most 1st-place finishes.

Whenever a player sets a new fastest time for the day, it is broadcast server-wide.

---

💰 Prizes & Payouts

Winners are determined daily at 00:00 server time (when the next day’s MVP list is generated).

Top 3 Fastest Times of the Previous Day Split the Pot:

• 🥇 1st Place – 50%

• 🥈 2nd Place – 30%

• 🥉 3rd Place – 20%

Important Notes:

• If the same character holds multiple top spots, they receive all corresponding shares.

• Prizes are claimed the following day via the NPC.

• Unlimited attempts mean more chances to improve your time — but every entry increases the pot for everyone.

---

🔁 Daily Reset

At 00:00 server time:

• A new set of 10 MVPs is chosen for the day.

• The previous day’s winners are finalized.

• The pot resets to 25b and begins growing again with new entries.

---

🧠 Tips

• Study the daily MVP order before entering.

• Optimize gear and consumables for speed.

• Practice routes and kill efficiency.

• Remember: one death = run over.

---

The MVP Ladder is all about consistency, preparation, and execution under pressure.
Climb the ranks, grow the pot, and prove you’re the fastest MVP slayer of the day.

  .. as an add little suggestion.
  doesn't it better if player could use 500m bag? instead of base on the zenny. 
  
  Thanks

Hey papa!

I like the idea overall but I've got a few questions to make it more clear for me so I can give you later a full feedback 😆

1. Is it possible (maybe in the future) to implement the party option as well? Group farming/hunting/instances are really great contents (ive got an idea for it but that's for the future suggestion)

2. Im wondering if 500m per entry is not too cheap(?) Right now there is a big circulation of zenies around the server and I personally feel like even 1b bag per entrance wouldn't hurt. My friend who's super fresh to the server already collected quite a sum, it's possible he'll surpass me soon and I still only have 200b in my storage so..I think you can consider enters in billions. (Note: people may disagree with this, I can't really tell what's the gameplay pace of a regular player, my assumption is made based on the observation of the current economy + feedback of a new player with around 3 weeks old account). Considering you mentioned the proper gear and preparation I assume it's not a content for new players anyway(?) So I think 1b per entrance is more reasonable.

3. Do the mvps also drop their regular drop? Do bubblegum/items with bubblegum effects work there? Also, the mvps from the order - are they regular mvps from bloody branches only or are the custom mvps also available? Confirmed they don't

4. Is dual clienting/character switch possible to obtain all 1st 2nd and 3rd place? I think it shouldn't be limited to one person who might monopolize the content, we had cases like these before..

Feedback from the same 2 weeks old account of my friend. He participated and gave me an honest review. It is the first time he experiences braveRO extensive customization. 

"Technically speaking yes, I could do repeats for a better time ;however, with my current gear all I can acomplish is a time save of maybe 5 seconds and that will be a peak of what I can do. Considering that it is all zeny as a reward, it is also incredibly lackluster. It will be an event when rich get richer and that's it. The concept of it is fine, it's just that only top players get rewarded and those who are on the top of the server most likely wont care with how little the reward is. What this event is essentially doing is making poor people put in money that then all get funneled to the guy with the top 3 runs. I'm sorry to say that the more I look into this particular event the worse it gets. Bubblegum works except mvps dont have drop"

My suggestion

- share the even prize between all participants,

- Increase zeny entry from 500m bags to 1b bags (for the sake of zeny sink). Additionally you may think about allowing players to "donate for the main prize"

- Consider job mvp board as well so people could participate it with other classes like novice, ranger, soul linker etc - it gives place of creativity as well and people can compare their best scores, they can minmax with different classes etc.

I will log in game and check it but this is all I can suggest based on my friend's review on this particular event and the npc itself. Sorry J, but rule #5 agree to disagree. Love you man ❤️

Edit: The current leaderboard looks like this:

I was wondering about the time formula in the leaderboard -> 10mvps x 10 seconds respawn -> 1 minute 40 seconds for the respawn of the mvp only. That means the current leader takes 0.4sec/mvp (4 seconds in total to kill all mvps). I also spoke to him in game and he confirmed it.
This is kinda broken (?) - I'm curious if the current leader will be able to reach 1.41 since 1.40 is impossible. I can only wish good luck 😛Also current prize is at 31b, that's not much comparing to the bags circulations.

TL'DR - the idea is good, but it needs some working around it

If this turns out good in the near future (since it's currently under observation), remove / replace this one:

Thanks for your feedback.

The goal is for PvM players to have something to compete in against other players and something to strive for. The 500M is minimal so it allows anyone to "try" without feeling duped out of money.. but the pot grows with each entry.. 25b may not be a lot, but with enough entries it is reaching 40-50b per day.. which is not too bad for a few minutes of effort.

 

This is obviously not a newbie friendly feature.. it's a competitive PvM Ladder. As what you said, they cannot compete vs fully equipped players.. but it does give something for them to strive for.. its not just about the Zeny reward, is about recognition and bragging rights, which is quite important for many who are already at the peak. 

Sure, some people will be too lazy to try and compete, I'm hoping that the few that choose to work hard at it will find joy is winning a day or having the most won days listed on the NPC (and soon enough, the website and event manager npc in Caspen)
