You said 500 Words, which is fine. But I think there may be a slight problem here.

Posts only allow for 1,000 Characters. So people are going to run into a problem when it comes to submitting posts.

Character name: Devifoxx Artzente
World name: Hyperion
In-game Item: Bluebird Earrings
Component name: Hull of the Heavens' Ward

What's the use in traveling fast if you don't have enough range to cover multiple destinations? I believe I've come up with the best possible Hull any Airship could possibly hope to be outfitted with.

Allow me to introduce to you the Hull of the Heavens' Ward!

For me, facing King Thordan and his Knights Twelve was no joke. He was able to cut through the thick skies of Azys Lla, after all. However, in the long run, the victory I claimed was all the worthwhile. He fell by my Axe, and I claimed his Sword for my experimentation in flight dynamics back at my Free Company's workshop.

(Have to break up my entry due to 1,000 character limit, despite the contest having a 500 word limit)

Of course, only the finest metals would work with a project like this. And the vast expanse of Thanalan's wilderness has all sorts of metals in great abundance. I needed to gather plenty of Bomb Ash in the Sagolii Desert to help bind the metal plates together. Then I traveled to Northern Thanalan for Cobalt Ore to help reinforce the Hull further.

Concentration was critical during the Hull's construction. I made it a point to craft the key materials on the roof of my Free Company's house. No one was able to disturb me up there. And what's more, I could feel the movement of the winds as I crafted, and gain inspiration from the open air. Thus, I could shape the pieces of the Hull accordingly.

With a Hull like this, no destination in the Sea of Clouds will be unreachable for you!

Perhaps off-topic, but when are the Winners of the Cartographers and Seekers contest and the 100 Randomly selected Voting Prizes for the Hairstyle Design Contest going to be announced?

The results would effect which in-game item I would ask for as a prize.

Heya DeviFoxx ^^

Since I saw your 38th postings, I can assume you are new to the forums. Welcome aboard! ^^

*Once you are done typing more than 10 characters, submit your post, then click on the EDIT button. Then you can overcome the PS3 Limitations err.. the 1000 Character limitations ;)

Usually can't edit posts in Contest threads. I guess they turn it off so ppl can't go back and change their submissions over and over.

This is an awesome idea just like all the other contest out there but for people who already have these rewards is there anyway we can get the Dev team to drop in some new rewards? I would imagine y'all would see more of these quality post if you put up something a little different for a reward. Hope this doesn't come off in the wrong way because I love these contest but the fact that your still recycling the same rewards makes it kinda of "meh" at this point. And yes i understand the "do it for the fun not reward" aspect but new rewards would up the interest.

where is the edit button? i can't seem to find it on my post

Seems Rowde got it; that we can't edit when putting something into a contest so we cannot make any adjustments once it's sent. >.<

but for the rest, it should be there at the bottom right besides reply and reply with quote ;)
