Here's a quick riddle for you guys. I know it's been a while since I've made a riddle and hopefully I'll get another one out soon because next week I will be away for two weeks.
Good luck guardians!
Who/what am I?
"[i]Giver of wealth, though its value is meaningless. I exist outside of an endless war, yet I encourage the struggle. My predecessor is many and one. They are coming, and what you see will mark you forever. I cannot help you now, but if you succeed, then I will envelop you. The eternal war awaits, guardian. Fight. Win. Live...[/i]"
[u]Hint 1:[/u] [i]This eternal war rages on, but is only temporary. It is eternal not because it never ends, but because it always comes back.[/i]
Winner: explodinggeyser
Answer: [spoiler]Goldspiral shader[/spoiler]
Explanation: [spoiler]"Giver of wealth, though its value is meaningless."
The Goldspiral shader covers your character in a mostly gold color, which makes it look like it has a lot of value, though it doesn't actually have any value.
"I exist outside of an endless war, yet I encourage the struggle."
The Goldspiral shader is a reward for reaching rank 5 in Iron Banner, but obviously it isn't directly involved in the fighting. It's only a product of your success. It's a pretty cool looking shader (though this is subjective), so it could entice people to get to rank 5.
"My predecessor is many and one."
The Million Million shader can be obtained before Goldspiral by reaching rank 2 in Iron Banner. It's name "Million Million" is many, yet it's only one shader and there's only one shader like it (not counting Goldspiral lol).
"They are coming, and what you see will mark you forever."
This line reference's Thorn's Mark of the Devourer, which deals damage over time, but you probably already knew that since Iron Banner is overrun with Thorn users.
"I cannot help you now, but if you succeed, then I will envelop you. The eternal war awaits, guardian. Fight. Win. Live..."
The shader can't directly help you in Iron Banner, but if you succeed and reach rank 5, you can purchase and equip the shader, which, in a way, envelops your character in a golden color. The last line is just another reference to Iron Banner, since it always comes back and you need to win to rank up.
Hint 1 explained how Iron Banner only lasts for a week, but since it's pretty much a guarantee that it will come back around, it can be considered an "eternal war."[/spoiler]
