Reward links

So, a new kind of “friendly support” system is adapted from facebook. Now people can post the so-called reward links in their shoutbox, and anyone who click the links will get rewarded, and of course, there is a limit on each link. For now I don’t quite know all about the limitation, so I’d just write down what I’ve found out about these stuffs.

Firstly you should remember that you can only click on a certain reward link and receive the price once, and as it opens up a new window/tab, please close your previous (old) window/tab of King’s Bounty.

1. Material links: when you are in short of a certain “Regular” item in the Item Crafting Workshop, you can click on a “horn” button to post a shout in your profile’s shout box that contains a link. When a player click this link, you’ll receive that item, and the helper receive 300g. There is a 4hours limit to click the shout again on a certain item. There is also a limit on the number of people that can send help by clicking the link, currently the limit is 5. I confirmed that the helper lose NO item, both simply benefit without lost.
2. Stamina links: when you are out of stamina(<5), and having NO potion in your inventory, you will have a button “Ask Friends” in a notification (or click on the + button beside the stamina bar on the upper right) to post a link on your shoutbox (small button in the bottom of the notification). The link will reward any person who click it with 300g, and you’ll receive a dew of life (gives 5 stamine if u use). I dont know the limit for this yet.
3. Unit links: when you receive a new unit, a notification should appear, u can post a reward link in your shout box, and any one click this link will receive 1 unit of the same race, in a lower tier. There seems to be a number limit for this, but I havent found out yet.
Check my spreadsheet (5th sheet) to know what link give what units, and who shared them (temporary).

4. Quest complete links: after certain quests there are notifications and you can click on a button to post a link on your shoutbox, anyone click on the link will receive 250g. There seems to be a number limit for this, but I havent found out yet, again :| .

I’d also want to say that please refrain from reposting your link in the chatbox, just say that u need help, please visit your shoutbox, and people will come to your profile to click the link.
And always remember that the link is in your SHOUT BOX, check your PROFILE page on Kong.

I’ve heard people complaining that links dont work. I’ve experienced the same problem, but I retried later, and could still get the reward, so it is due to server lag, or conflicts between the new open window/tab and the old one, so to make sure there is no conflict, right click on a link, copy the link, then close the current game tab, and post the link in url bar to reopen the game.

Please provide additional information if you find out anything new. Posting links here is ok :P but please delete it after sometimes, as it’ll probably expire after reaching its limit.

Thanks for this post gunda, it was very informative. :)

Very helpful post. If I learn anything new that’s not covered here, I’ll report it. My way of opening these links is just opening them in a new tab and watching my main window. After I see I’ve gotten the reward on the original window, I close the new tab. That way I never have to reload the game, though on occasion doing this will crash my main game. Still better than reloading every time.

edit: For all sorts of requests/offers/units, check out my profile http://www.kongregate.com/accounts/Hotshot2k4/messages. I might keep this post updated on which links are still relevant.

4/21: Assassin+Paladin on profile. Still need more runes, the most recent posts should be active.

Very good post. I still can’t find the materials link, though.

Nice work!

I must say, i do belive i transfered to the target player one of my runes, text also said so.

i made 3 requests (clicking the green trumpet) and obviously no link appears in m shoutbox http://www.kongregate.com/accounts/Furbaa

@ ROAero I tested, nothing in my inventory was deducted. If you have ever played a facebook game, it always says the same thing ;).
@ Furbaa Maybe you didnt check the box where it says allow the game to post anything on your shout box. I cant think of any other reason.

This just killed a great game, at least for me. Yall keep link clicking openingat new tabs instead of playing. It reminds me of those cheap text based mobster games this…. such a shame.

I dont really like to abuse this (except for the stamina one :P), it’s just a new content for kong that is not clearly stated in the patch note. Helping each other to find materials is actually a great addition. For the unit links, people will get tired of it soon, as the refreshing wastes tons of time and certainly boring (except some really really hot links :)) ).

totally agree, it’s not playing and lower the quality of game.

I guess developer use links to increase their advertisement income from kongregate or facebook.

but it’s not work if players installed ad-block plus.

they need better ways to encourage players buying gems.

someone help me out of my misery

I urge people to not support this mechanism by NOT USING IT. Personally I am boycotting this game untill this has been improved or plain out removed. Game was tedious enough by having to spend more time ressurecting than anything else, but this just overflows the barrel, by an entire barrel. Boo @ the links of Doom!

i have gagoy shaman…reward: gagoy hunter
