Chase the Challenger



Do you ever feel like punching Chase in the face but missed out grabbing him as a challenger from Item Hunt? Well, today is your lucky day! Chase has graciously decided that anyone that’s finished level 100 can now pay to unlock him as a challenger.

If you’re still working on completing Item Hunt, you still have a chance to get him if you fail or quit after level 75. The sP option is just for those who weren’t able to unlock him before maxing out Item Hunt!

Wait, so... Chase is telling you to pay him... so you can pound him? Chase sure has come a long way.

I'm not a battler, but 50 mill seems insane.

Good think I used a tome to reset item hunt, and unlock him.

50mil is a ridiculous penalty for doing nothing wrong.

Give him to the winners for free.

Up until today I was on lv96. Was it worth quitting at that point, maybe? It does seem to be a better investment than paying, now I just need to level up to the point where I can beat him.

Lol all the people whining that 50 mil is too expensive. I've already unlocked Chase, actually fairly recently, and I can tell you I had to spend a pretty penny as well. I had to quit at level 91 since he asked for something around 50 mil, and considering the Swash was worth maybe a little over 60 mil at the time, I figured it was better to try again later. If I took that quest and THEN quit (like if he asked for an unbuyable) I would've spent way over 50 mil to unlock him. Let's focus on the positives instead! This is a GREAT sP sink to get rid of all that extra sP laying around, right? :D

hmm 50 million is reasonable i think - i payed ALOT more tryine time after time to get to level 75 again :):) it sure was a hugggee challenge !!

pitty we cannot do his quests anymore

i think, once you have beaten the game at level 101 - you must be able to do his quests again"but only from level 0 to level 76 "that way you cannot win/earn another swashbuckle anymore but you still can get some nice sp rewards AND you have the chance to unlock him at level 75

maybe a better idea then to let people pay 50 million to unlock him - wich is way to cheap or easy in my opinion

50 mil is unreasonable. 10 mil, I might pay. I've maxed out already. I had no idea you had to quit after level 75 in order to get him as a challenger. :S I appreciate the attempt to make him accessible, but I would never pay 50 mil. That's way too much.

There's no way I would even want my pets to face this pompous jerk in a battle. There's no weapon he drops that they need or want, and there's no way I'm every going to ever participate in Item Hunt again. Some things on Subeta are hard, some things are impossible and some things are strictly vain pursuits that are not worth the abuse and hate perpetrated upon one's self by attempting to appease this insufferable megalomaniacal rabbit. If Chase were ever to explode into pink mist, I would shed no tears. ( who will take the job? ) What a deplorable waste of fur. Shere Kahn without the charm. Bloefeld without a cat. Hitler with ears.

I gave up on Item Hunt years ago. Every time I got over level 75 he asked for an unbuyable item, not an expensive one but one that was literally never for sale or trade. Too frustrating. Good luck to the rest though.

......... Whelp. This is happening.

I find this to be a rather rude insult to add to the injury that one of my better sources of income was permanently barred after reaching level 100. Even if one wants to argue that the challenger wasn't a free unlock, the price would be nowhere near comparable to 50 million. Maybe ten million at absolute worst but not 50. I'd reached level 74 still turning a (slimmer and slimmer) profit once before so, no, 50 million is supremely unreasonable to me. This is just another great reason to add to the "If I'd have known I'd never have reached the final level" rant.

I remember this announcement, actually. It just tells us, we cannot start at level 50 with the Tome. I also remember that sounded kind of weird, but since I had no plans of using the Tome, I didn't care. Nobody ever told us, we cannot play Item Hunt at all any longer after finishing it now. I guess the posting implies, that we all know, that we cannot start over again once having reached level 100. Obviously until then it was possible to play again using the Tome - ? -

I just saw the addendum on the post -- it looks like you can still get it from Item Hunt, if you haven't already finished level 100.

Why do I feel you guys are PUNISHING me for finishing item hunt? I don't have his income anymore. Swashbuckles are pretty worthless nowadays considering the effort/sP spent to get there, and it's also tier 11 so I can't use it. Now this? At least with this I have a choice. And I say 'no thanks'.

I was able to unlock Chase as a challenger by quitting and I doubt I've spent 50 mil total on the game in the first place. Seems super high to me as well.

There never was any announcement concerning Item Hunt being over for good now all of a sudden after beating the game. We all thought it was another bug? I only found out by chance this was going on.

I also feel, that 50 mil is too much, esp. considering, that these people have lost that kind of income.

So... I forgot after getting way past level 75 when I decided to just finish it and get it over with, didn't want to restart, thought "I could just send a ticket in to a kind staff person because I'm a twit."...... Yeah, I can make 50 mil from a few commissions but I don't know if the price is worth it. 20 mil I would hand out but not sure on 50.

The tome is 52m in the MC (and I'm not totally sure off-hand but I'm pretty sure its SS price was closer to that than it is now, back when it was more useful)

Will you ever be adding more levels to item hunt for those of us who have finished with the current ones?

50mil. Seriously? Why can't we just have the option to use the tome again? Or all those times I gave up past 75 and didn't get him. This site is showing it's greed.

You have defeated Chase 9 times!

Chase drops:

Item Hunters Shield

Item Hunter Quill

Fire Mage Amulet

You earned 3348 sP for beating Chase!

Pisa earned 3399 EXP Points!

I just read the announcement and felt like kicking his fluffy bottom :x

He wasn't free -- you had to quit after one of the higher levels of Item Hunt (I think 75+). So yeah, if you did that and then had to repeat those levels all over again to finish Item Hunt, you ended up spending quite a bit.

Yeah, but after you beat level 100, you're done. You can't use the tomes anymore. This was a change we did a while back, and now we're getting chase out there for those who can't just use a tome to try to get him as a challenger
