[Shiki]

Whens the update coming

[ChuckNoRis]

well , my time for gaming is limited , i have to work and spend time with my fiance , so i will only have time to play/update the compilation when i don't work and when she's not arround (or sleeping)

i will start by updating those builds that remained almost unchanged (Lion king/ javazon/Madawc/Crystal maiden/sagittarius/traxex+the rest , that require late game gearing updates and minor skillplan adjustments ), then continue with those with minor changes , then i'll have to spend some time playing the builds that changed a lot . after all that is done , i'll add some new ones

i hope this month i'll be able to update half the builds . i also need to play with the forum's mechanics and find out how to insert stuff into that wall of text to make it easy to read .

i'm starting tomorrow evening when i return from work

S37 Seasonal Challenge Event

Welcome to the S37 Seasonal Challenge Event! This edition has been funded by k9999, an active and skilled member of the MXL community, as a push to the playerbase to minmax some specs and think outside the box on others. Compete for TG prizes, bragging rights, and in some special, very difficult cases, a Forum Badge!

SC and HC will have the same challenges available to each, but the rewards will be determined per game version (i.e. SC completed challenges will not block HC players from completing and earning their own rewards).

Questions, suggestions and general feedback are welcome, keep them in this thread instead of PM. We wish you all luck for the new season!

Event rules

Start: 03 May 2024
End: 01 August 2024

• A player may win any challenge in any category with the exception of Raid
• "First to..." challenges are rewarded immediately upon completion.
• "Fastest to..." challenges are rewarded at the end of the contest's time limit.

Prize Pool: 10,594

---

Categories

• First Blood

  
  
  • Be the first player to defeat as many bosses as possible. This part of the contest will use the Discord bot in #game-feed to determine the first kills. You will score points based on the number and difficulty of the bosses you are able to defeat first. The winners will be decided when all bosses are defeated.

• Collector

  
  
  • Find or collect various items throughout the game. Post a screenshot with the item and the /time command visible.

• Raid

  
  
  • Challenge the hardest content MXL has to offer in the highest possible difficulty.
  • You may play solo or as a team (split prize as team decides).
  • Teams may be formed of up to 3 people with 3 different character classes. Teams can compete for any challenge within this group, but can, at most, only win 3 challenges in SC or 2 challenges in HC (rewarded from bottom to top). The lowest prize is awarded for p3 and all other are multiples of it.
  • The ranking is based on several criteria, in the following order:
    
    • higher difficulty (max p8) -> less deaths -> faster kill time.
    • This means any kill with higher difficulty takes preference over lower difficulties, any kill with less deaths on a certain difficulty takes preference over any kill with more deaths, etc.
  • Note: For Raid Challenges, you may not leave the boss arena until the boss is defeated. If you or a teammate dies in the arena, they must stay until the challenge is completed or failed. Additionally, if a challenge is to be done e.g. without stats/skills/charms/avoid, this must be shown on the video after the successful run (to avoid repeating on every attempt).

• Seasonal Specials

  
  
  • A customized, curated list of challenges, sourced from a variety of MXL veterans and memers, designed to make your brain cells stronger or rot away (or both simultaneously?) These challenges will have their details individually listed for each.

Submissions

• Copy the number of the challenge you’re competing for & link the NotArmory for the character that competed.
• Link a video from Youtube of the challenge completion in this thread (screenshots accepted only if specified).
• Complete the challenge on S37 Ladder, solo and in one, newly-created game, unless otherwise specified.
• Use the /time command in the video (or screenshot if challenge requires a screenshot only)
• No challenge-banned items or skills can be used during the submission by any involved player. See the banned item list below:

Thanks again to k9999 for sponsoring the 10,000 for this event! If any other community members want to make donations to a prize pool for a future event or want to fund a specific challenge, please reach out in the comments! Good luck to all the participants and have a good season!

[Belenub]

A wall of text doesn't work. Better do specific an well explained guides of possible builds based on updated content.

[mecheye]

I do SP only for now, and I constantly feel as if I'm doing it wrong so this will help a lot!

Btw, what does "Paladin, 2012 v004" mean?

[ChuckNoRis]

Btw, what does "Paladin, 2012 v004" mean?

that used to be the link to the skillplan (paladin , 2012 , patch version Omega v004 ), but it no longer works . when i moved this information from the old forum i could only copy-paste for the text - the topic was closed so i could not "quote" the post to copy the entire codes , the rest of the addons did not come from the old forum to this new forum because this forum is working different . i will re-post the (updated) skillplans when i update the miniguides

[Gekko64]

I have both omega and 2012 compilations saved on my pc, let me know if you need those to check skillplans and formatting

[ChuckNoRis]

well , i believe i also have those and some older ones on my old pc , i have to check this evening when i return home from work . the skillplans will be updated to the curent version anyway , also i was thinking to put the "picture" of the skillplan instead of the link to it like you could see here : viewtopic.php?f=25&t=244 . i want this compilation to look nice so i will work some time at the formatting . i am also thinking about the gearing section to look like the actual screen you would see in your game : with the helm and amulet on the top row , weapon(s)+quiver/shield on middle row , gloves rings , belt boots on bottom row , using the forum option of inserting pictures (from the docs) . the old formating doesn't help me at all at this moment , this new forum has better ways of ( visual ) customisations
