It wasn’t an easy task to determine the winners of the Create-a-set contest - we’ve received numerous unique and wonderful artworks, but a choice had to be made. The judges, Sephy, Zidrune and myself, have come to a consensus.

The sets were judged on creativity, originality, humour and coherence with the Wakfu universe. We’ve chosen the top 3, and have two special mention categories, one for arsenal, and the other for the Jury’s individual favorites!

We know you’ve waited a long time for this, so here are the results!

Top 3 Winners

3rd place – Tied: Amaknian Hero Set

Who doesn’t love Easter eggs? ApplePear’s simple and funny Zelda inspired set easily made its way to the judge’s hearts!

“The Master’s Hammer - It is said that only a true hero may pull the sacred sword from the stone. When you attempted to take it, it remained steadfast in the stone. The stone, however, did not remain steadfast on the ground. "

Judges: We loved the funny descriptions, the cape-shield idea, and the leafy twist on a real classic! Well done.

3rd place –Tied: Shokanto Set

Inspired by ancestral Chinese militia armaments, Labija’s set owes its name to the martial art of Shotokan, a style of karate. One thing’s for sure - this set has quite a kick to it!

“Armor Back Story - The armor had been lost for over a millennium, few know where it might have been, and only few remember the armor’s past. Those who have seen it, say that sometimes, its former owner comes back to the land of the living to contemplate its beauty.”

Judges: We loved the strong feel of the armor and the idea behind it, also how you’ve taken existing elements of the game and transformed them to create a great end-result! Way to go!

2nd place: Fish Knight Set

Second place goes to GoldfishGod’s hilarious depiction of a goldfish set! What better way to go fishing undercover than as a giant fish?

“Armor Back Story - The Fish Knights were a group of knights who looked to the Eastern martial arts to develop their skills. Seeing that many of the martial arts were based on animal forms, they decided to develop their own style based on that of their local wildlife. As a fishing community, the animal they chose was the fish.”

Judges: We loved that it was fun, easily adaptable and that it reminded us of Japanese mascots. We’re looking forward to seeing little fishies walking around! Good job!

1st place: Panflutae Set

First place goes to Everspace’s flute set! These wooden charms charmed all of the judges who voted for it unanimously!

“Armor Back Story - This set of wooden equipment was created by a mad musician, and resident lumberjack, who happened to go a little axe crazy. It didn't manage to keep the wood's original shape, but what it has captured is the music that flows through the pipes, and the whisper of the trees that they once came from."

Judges: We loved the style, the originality, and how well adapted it is to the game. Sephy can’t wait to make it! Congratulations!

And that’s what brings our top 3 to a close! Congratulations to all of our winners!

And now for the special mentions…

Arsenal Special Mention

Arsenal winner: The Fish Shovel

Two different fish sets were submitted and we had to choose between them - we opted for the other but still loved Oamoka’s Suspicious Set (especially her funny weapon)! We loved it so much we decided to make a special prize category just for it!

“If life gives you lemons, cook them with fish. Everything goes better with lemon!”

The Judge’s Favorites

Here are the judge’s individual favorites – apart from the top 3.

Sephy’s Favorite

The Distorted Set made by GoldfishGold was Sephy’s favorite.

“Someone, somewhere, got lost... very very lost. But found something as well. And it broke his mind. He's still lost, but the fruits of his new mind have made their way back to civilisation. The objects are generally a mixture of bizarre, alien shapes and unnatural surfaces and materials.”

Sephy: I really like it… it’s so conceptual! Love the idea behind it… It inspires me to do something completely different yet similar in spirit. We’ll see what comes of it!

Kaoly’s Favorite

The Scientist Set made by Sargnagel was Kaoly’s favorite!

“Scientist Manteau - The usual and well known clothing piece of every Scientist. Keeps your clothes clean while blowing stuff up in the lab.”

Kaoly: Love the scientist look! I think you did a good job and would’ve loved to see it ingame, but unfortunately that’s not technically possible. Hopefully sometime in the future it might be. ?

Zidrune’s Favorite

The Alien Set made by MushroomFiend was Zidrune’s favorite!

"These shoulderpads aren't compensating for anything I can assure you. Imagine being crash tackled by one of these suckers... yea thats what I though. These pads have a bit of wear and tear but their hard exoskeleton will keep them in good nick for many millenia to come."

Zidrune: I had to congratulate you for this set! The conception and realization are very well done! The only thing I find regretful is that it doesn’t fit the Wakfu universe.

And with that, the contest results have come to a close, congratulations to all of you!

The top 3 will see their sets added ingame and will receive a copy of their own set. Also, as a bonus reward for all 7 winners, you will get to choose between a few ‘create-a-set’ avatars on the forums, or have one made out of your own set! =)

Many thanks to all those who participated! You’ve all done wonderful work, we’re just sorry we couldn’t have all of you win.
Congratulations once again and see you in the next contest!
