A real challange - 10 round competition - 1st prize is 350 Astral Shards

[mikarddo]

Have fun on a cool event!

Thanks

You should join in - maybe on the weekly show - Delaras on R1 on a first lifer is quite a thrill.

small edit--forgot that I ran both of mine solo and no hirelings

[Saekee]

Next round will be level 6 quests, yes. I expect it to go up by 1 or 2 levels each round. I will post the next quests either Sunday or Monday.

[mikarddo]

The prizes are set now.

Total points scored (must have done atleast 10 quests out of 20):
1st place: 350 astral shards
2nd place: 500 ddo points

Randomly drawn between everyone else that did atleast 5 quests proportionally to points scored:
1 DDO point card with 500 points.
21 DDO point cards each with 100 points.

Each round based on points scored in that round:
3 DDO points cards each with 100 points.

A total of 350 shards and 6100 DDO points.

The DDO point cards are courtesy of Cordovan, much appreciated. The astral shards are paid by me. As the host I am not eligible to win any prices.
If fewer people have taken part the extra DDO points will go unused.

Excellent, thank you for joining. Next time please include the character sheet in the screenshots as per the rules. We want to be able to see the build used out of curiosity

[Magnus_Arcanis]

If any streamers would want to help promote this little competition it would be greatly appreciated. The more people know about it and either join in or just follow the competition the better for the DDO community

Sounds like fun. I'll be streaming my attempts this Sunday at 4pm EST.

Well done, thank you for posting. I was looking forward to seeing someone do a cleric build for this run as well as some video entries - fun to watch

As per the rules you only get 1 point total for videos even if you post for both quests. If your runs end up being the fastest ones the videos from those runs may earn bonus points though. So for now I am putting you on the list with 34 points, 6:11 (adjusted time) for Delaras and 8:45 for TTT. I have a feeling that you will be posting even faster runs though

[mikarddo]

Round 2
For round two you get to run these two quests:
https://ddowiki.com/page/Ruined_Halls
https://ddowiki.com/page/Quid_Pro_Quo

Max level is 8. Running with level 7s get a bonus point.

Best of luck.

Round 2 ends on November 8th.

Magnus_Arcanis: 50 points (Ruined 22, Quid 22, video 1, speed run 5)
MikarDDO: 46 points (Ruined 18, Quid 22, video 1, speed run 5)
Cardo: 40 points (Ruined 15, Quid 19, video 1, speed run 5)
Draconica: 40 points (Ruined 15, Quid 19, video 1, speed run 5)
Stratimics: 40 points (Ruined 15, Quid 19, video 1, speed run 5)
RoyArne: 32 points (Ruined 16, Quid 16)
Saekee: 26 points (Ruined 13, Quid 13)
DareDelvis: 24 points (Ruined 13, Quid 11)
MIvan: 19 points (Ruined 11, Quid 7, video 1)
Zargarx: 13 points (Ruined 13)

Fastest runs sofar:
Ruined Halls group:
Ruined Halls solo: 0:53 [1:11] by Magnus_Arcanis
Quid Pro Quo group: 2:27 [3:16] by Cardo, Draconica and Stratimics
Quid Pro Quo solo: 3:40 [4:53] by MikarDDO

[mikarddo]

A small addition / clarification, sorry not to have posted this initially:

Fastest group run only scores points if the time is faster than the fastest solo run - and the same player cannot get points for fastest run both solo and grouped. Having hirelings and/or a boxed bard counts as solo for this - most likely using those might even slow speed runs down due to summoning time etc.

Whoopsie. I'll admit my reading comprehension has failed me multiple times with this lol. Entirely on me. Will update my original post for the round.

This is ROUGH to do on a solo rogue. I hate how the devs make reapers just kill stealth. This competition is a painful reminder of the damage they have done to my favorite playstyle . Of course this quest also has a lot of oozes too...and do not swing a chain near breakables lol...Maybe I will try a better run.

Ruined Halls: R4, solo, no hires or hirelings or henchman summons, no deaths, 1 level below, 7min.55 sec. 13 Points.

I do not think I will be able to go over 13 points (r4) in all these quests for the most part since the reapers are just too much, despite my giant bag of Batman tricks.

[Saekee]

I am surprised no one entered a sorc bladeforged first lifer.

[mikarddo]

Round 1.

Delaras, first lifer w/ bard buffer and hirelings on R1. No deaths.

11 Points : 5 (base) + 1 (R1) + 3 (first lifer) + 1 ("solo" with hired help) +1 (no deaths)




TTT
Solo speed run adjusted time 6:31



TTT
14 Points : 5 (base) + 4 (R4) + 3 (first lifer) + 1 ("solo" with hired help) +1 (no deaths)

[mikarddo]

q
Forgotten caverns: R4, solo, no hires or hirelings or henchman summons, no deaths, 1 level below, 7min.55 sec. 13 Points.

Well done, thank you. I believe you mean Ruined Halls though rather than Forgotten Caverns

[mikarddo]

I am surprised no one entered a sorc bladeforged first lifer.

If you want to play as level 6 you need to use a LR1 or you only get 5 levels of sorc and thus no Fireball.
Also, if you want to use the Recon SLA you wont have enough points for the Scorch SLA as well.
So, these might show up at slightly higher levels but its too soon yet for me.
