I just shelled out well over 100 million (I try not to think about how much it was...it was a painful amount) because I thought to myself, I'm just going to do it!

Silly me, the quest ends at 100, and we can't restart?? I love doing the quests! If I'd have known this, I would never had tried to beat the quest.

Is there anyway we can make the quests reset every time we hit 100? Not sure how many people are, you spend SO much money to do so, it's not worth it. But leading up to it, I liked the rewards.

Wish this would happen; u; Support :)

They had an item you could buy from the Millionaire shop that would reset Item Hunt. They got rid of it because people were doing it too often and it was making the final prize Swashbuckle, a very good weapon, sell for dirt cheap. You can still buy Swashbuckle from user shops for less than it cost to beat Item Hunt and for way less than weapons of comparable use sell for.

I absolutely agree with this! Ideally, the initial grand prize would only be rewarded the first time you complete all 100 levels. After that you can continue to play through but will not be rewarded with this item ever again.

If that's not the case, then I would really like for there to be a larger disclaimer somewhere on the page that says that once you complete level 100 the game will not be accessible. I've been around for 17 years and didn't know until recently! I'm so glad I never completed it.

yep, didn't know i couldn't reset after i finished it and i wish i never completed it. too bad the reward is a weapon which makes everything complicated. i didn't even care about the stupid thing and just sold it immediately. i wanted to finish it for the sake of it.

seems a pretty obvious fix (with lots of precedent) to just tie the weapon to an achievement for completing it.

I was surprised that these quests were over once I had finished it. But there was nothing to do except accept it. If I had known before, I would have probably failed the last quest and started over again. Such is life.

This seems like an easy fix, though. Make the weapon only given as the prize the very first time. After that, no prize is needed, or make it something else like a sticker. I feel like this is WAY down on the list of things to improve, though. Probably not enough people care about Item Hunt to make this change.

An idea to make it more desirable to do the item quest and to prevent this problem: simply rotate the prize. Create new prizes every year or so (maybe less, I don't usually do item hunt), and retire or vault the old one and then bring it back out in a couple years or something. Or randomize the loot (obviously things of similar value).

It would be great if Swashbuckle became an achievement prize for level 100. That way if anyone has already completed Item Hunt they can't get another one and they could do the levels all over again.

I wasn't advocating for or against reset. Just giving a bit of history for Item Hunt for people who may not have known how it use to work. The achievement prize for Swashbuckle sounds like a good fix though.

One can only dream 😔

I'm glad I didn't have completed it before, because one time I was really near by, I dodged a bullet. Being OUT of that game it seems to much. I agree with the other comments, if the problem with resetting it is devaluating the final prize, put the final prize as an achievement prize, you get only one and also you get to repeat the quests.

this is the main reason why I have never completed it

Yes please! I reached level 100 many years ago without knowing that'd be the end of my Item Hunt days, and was SO frustrated when I found out. It's a fun game and I'd love to be able to continue playing.

Fully support the idea of having Swashbuckle be an achievement for level 100.

Nah.

It's kinda like becoming a billionaire. Like... congrats, you won at the economy, here's your award. Now let someone else have the chance.

While it could be beneficial for driving down some of the prices, others would no doubt go up and remain so because of rarity induced by the item hunt. I know Subeta always wants an sP/item sink and while I get that, no. I don't think this is the place for that, especially if you have to reach a certain level to "sink/dump" the item.

i'd personally like to see new runs allowed as well. i beat item hunt when i was like 13 or 14 years old and now its 14 years later. i was also dumb (seeing as i was a literal child) and sold my swashbuckler bc i didn't care about battling back then. didn't know i wouldn't be able to restart.

i like the ideas others in this thread have mentioned of either having the swashbuckler as an achievement prize or having like a small pool of similarly-important items that the lvl 100 prize can be cycled through. or even just give the swashbuckler the first time only. like i wanna keep playing the game regardless of if i get the prizes again or not.

it could even be something similar to the crypt -- like giving points that you can use at a shop? i dunno, just bouncing ideas

I wouldnt mind the swashbuckle being tied to a one and done achievement and then perhaps different tiers of items for more than once etc but doubtful itll change

I liked the levels before completing level 100, too. I agree, there could be a way to limit the Swashbuckle reward to once. :3

I totally agree with the idea that Item Hunt should be reset after you reach 100. I achieved this a long while ago, but am now restricted from part of the site. Ok, maybe have a short period before the reset happens, but please allow us to restart the process & have extra control of our use of the site. I want item hunt back ! I would appreciate staff response to this, what do you think ?

I had no idea you get locked out at lvl 100. It seem very counterintuitive. Support for this, even with nerfs/adjusts after every cycle.
