Well for starters:

tubs - 2 tour ticks
war bear (lol) - 1 tick maybe, even at one thats 80k for a mount just basing the value on gold alone. But I'd prolly get one for novelty at 1 tick.
r/r clothing - 4 ticks
r/r jewelery - 4 ticks
r/r lantern or other items rp/pvpers might like - 5-6 ticks
No r/r weap on stone at all.

The thing is, say for a 40 person tour you talked about giving out a tour tick for that. Well on INX 40 is freaking massive, the biggest so far was 33 and the reward was a recolored bracelet (whoopty doo). 80% of server or whatever is never going to happen, so you kinda need to re-evalute what amount of participants in a tour justifies what reward.

Shouldnt a 30 person tour be worth a r/r weap for winner and r/r cloth for runner up considering the playerbase? A r/r weap should never be buyable on the stone. Why? Because a non pvper could just buy up tickets and cash them in for a r/r weap. That item needs to signify people who have earned it by being the best at pvp. But it has to also be achievable.

Look at like, gang or pedro's or a few other peoples tour record, and then ask why didnt they ever win a r/r weap? No ones ever won one on inx, there were a few imported from xuo, but none ever given out here. Just something to consider when thinking about pvp rewards in general. While there are rewards on stone, for big tours it seems like it would make more sense to be giving out stuff not getable by the stone. Because those big tours are really the best of the best for pvpers, anyone can get tickets, but only those really skilled at this pvp style can win big tours. Like you were saying, non supplied tour is also a great thing, makes people contribute to economy in buying scrolls, pots, tour quality armor sets and weapons. So you could announce like, non supplied tour event on a saturday every week thats worth good prizes rather then just ticks. I think you'd start to see really good turnouts like 20+ even with our current playerbase. I said this in some other post before but if you could get a weekly regular going (from tiesto's poll it seems everyone likes saturday) and give out a few things, a statue in pits saying this weeks champion, maybe a newbied r/r weap that only lasts till the next tourny. So for 1 week that pvp champ has a unique item, but he doesnt get to keep it, its passed on to the next winner. I'm just trying to think of ways to spice up pvp and make the rewards more visable, appealing, and something people will strive for, like they see the current champ running about with his/her trophy weap and want to get better at pvp to try and win it one day. (btw, having a newbied bardy or baxe isnt a huge benefit, it looks flashy and you cant lose it, but its not like you gank with melee weapons, its all spells, so its only useful for tournies but its something nice for that champion to have for a little while)

I agree about the RP latern/item and that the weap be taken off the stone. Also, war bear? Haha, laughable and useless :/.

I'll read the rest later, someone remind me.
