Our first TreeCrafters challenge is over, and now it's time for #2. This time, we'd like to see what you can do in-game. Your task is to build a watchtower that will sit along our Southern Wall (separating our world from the Corruption). Currently, the wall looks like this:

The wall is 12 blocks wide with a walking path made of stone slabs.

The winner's Watchtower will serve as a home for those defending against the Corruption in the future, and will act as landmarks for players who are travelling through the area. It will be copied multiple times and pasted throughout the wall as needed, though it will not be so often as to dampen the effect of having found a watch tower (they will also serve as landmarks noted in our server lore).

The Prize:
There will only be one winner for this challenge, but the prize is still pretty outstanding.

- Free Market Shop for 1 month to buy/sell/trade items
- Your work prominently displayed near key locations around the world
- Listed as a Challenge Winner on our winner's wall both in the game and in the forums
- $250 in-game cash
- Large chest of tools and building materials

Where can I build?

Since you will still need to follow the main Challenge Rules while working on this mini-challenge, you may find it difficult to find a spot to build your tower concept for us to see. Whatever you decide, you may build your tower either near your own tree, or extend a root far out into the wilderness (away from other player's trees) to build your tower there. You will also need to use your own supplies, so keep that in mind while you travel.

If you do decide to build your tower away from your tree, let an admin know so that we can give you zone protection there. We don't want anyone to get any nasty ideas about destroying your hard work.

How will they be judged?

You will have 1 week (until Monday , December 19th) to get your towers ready for review. Leave a comment here with coordinates to your tower and a screenshot so that an admin can swing by to check it out. At the end of the week, we'll look at all of the entries and pick the best ones!

Good luck!

This is my tower, copied/pasted onto a wall section.

So... it's possible that I may have went completely OCD with my tower. I know I'm WAY beyond the deadline, but here it is nonetheless.

I remind this tower. Unfortunately i couldnt enter it for some dark reasons and was able to only stare at it from below/far, but it was my first OMG O_O on this server.
Really nice work, worth the delay :p

however : what is the purpose of this flat square of stone on your tower's side ?

by **Rysiion** Wed Mar 07, 2012 6:13 am

The flat square stone part is a copy/pasted section of the corruption wall.

Yeah, the tower was originally built to be incorporated into the giant wall, but I believe that wall has since been removed from the world.
