Bulls of Seleucus
In July 2013 (1461 in the game), a second major quest began: ‘The Bulls of Seleucos’. This quest required excavations to be made at the arenas of all the villagess of the world. Many objects could be found during these excavations and possession of some of them gave quest knowledge to the lucky characters who had found them. All the information about this knowledge could be consulted and shared on the page ‘Me’ page via the link Quest knowledge. The quest ended in January 1462 (2014).
Special items that can be found during the excavations
Several items from the Seleucid Swordsman Pack and Seleucid Pikeman Pack could be unearthed:
Unique quest items
The Abacus of Seleucus is the ultimate goal of this great quest. To find it, you had to manage to find cart fragments during the excavations and assemble them to discover the location you had to reach for the next part of the quest: Alexandria.
Once you arrived in Alexandria, you had to visit the Great Library, but you had to wear a full Seleucid Swordman Pack to be authorised by the guard to enter and meet the Great Astrologer. The latter offered the possibility of acquiring a Framework of precious wood in exchange for 200 pounds, and informed you that it was used to attach an optical lens - which was also to be found during excavations.
The next step was to discover the existence of the Taurine Sanctuary, located not far from Alexandria on the road linking the city to Turkey. In this sanctuary, you can access a rocky outcrop from which you can throw yourself, but which allowed a company to fix the Framework of precious wood to a small hole and hang the optical lens on it. This device, inspected at the right time ("At the right place, at the right time. According to the rhythm of Hecataeus, the Great Astrologer, you will have to look at 12:00’), indicated the direction to take to reach the treasure of Seleucus: a small cave on an island close to the Taurine Sanctuary.
The first company to reach the Cave dweller's palace was rewarded with 10,000 pounds, to be shared equally between by all its members, and its leader received the Abacus of Seleucus.
