Welcome to the S29 contest! You’ll dive into various challenges (including Hardcore) to prove your dedication, abilities and knowledge of the game. A key aspect is letting a larger amount of people win something. I wish you happy hunting!

Start: 10.12.2021 20:00 UTC
End: End of Season

Total prize pool: 13000 :tg:

Event rules

Groups & challenges
  • There are 5 groups of challenges: Limited Time, Speedrun, Hardcore, Survivor, Endgame
  • One player can win at most two challenges in each group
  • “First to…” challenges are won by the first one who posts a valid run and they receive the reward immediately
  • For “Fastest…” challenges you need to have the fastest time when the contest ends
  • Note: if a player has the best records for several "Fastest..." challenges in the same group, they will only win the challenges with the highest prizes (up to 2 total challenges in that group) and their other records in that group are not considered anymore. Example: player X has won 1 "First to..." challenge and has best records for 3 "Fastest..." challenges in one group -> they win only 1 "Fastest..." challenge with the highest prize.

Submissions
  • Valid submissions fulfill all following requirements
    • copy the number of the challenge you're competing for & link your notarmory
    • link video from YouTube of completing the challenge in this thread (screenshot only accepted if specifically written)
    • challenge must be completed on S29 ladder, in a single and newly created game, with no other people in game
    • buff icons must be active, banned items cannot be used
    • /time command is used in the video (or shown on the screenshot if screenshots are accepted)
    • /time command is used appropriately for challenges with spawnpoints
  • Spawnpoints: in case a challenge specifies a spawnpoint location, you're allowed to move only after you've written /time at the spawnpoint (prebuffing before that is allowed). The spawnpoint is located at the entrance inside a given area. When you complete the challenge, you must write /time again. The difference between the two timestamps will be used for comparison.

Created a complete character guide
first of all ty for putting out some challenges.
I really like the idea of including HC players.

You are stating that one main aspect was to enable a larger amount of players to win stuff.
Maybe I am naive or outdated but I think even today a video submission is still a pretty high barrier for many players. I'd really like to see more stuff that can be handled without videos.

You are explicitly excluding
Relic (Tainted Blood)
from the items that may be used. Is pre buffing with
Testament of the Apes
Testament of the Apes
(Ape Set)

Apefoot
Apehand
Apeshoot
Apeskin
Apeskull

Set Bonus with 2 or more set items:
250% Bonus to Attack Rating
+50 to Strength

Set Bonus with 3 or more set items:
Weapon Physical Damage +120%
+75 to Strength

Set Bonus with complete set:
5% Chance to cast level 3 Thunder Slam on Kill
10% Chance to cast level 18 Tainted Blood when Struck by a Missile
+18 to Deathstrike
+10 to Silver Dart
25% Chance of Crushing Blow
50% to All Attributes
Physical Resist 20%

allowed?

Happy Hunting to all contenders!

Thanks for the feedback. There are already several challenges that only require screenshots. I agree that video submission might be a high barrier, but in general the idea is to show others how you've completed an uber, not that you've completed it. This makes a lot more sense for the harder ubers than it does for the easier ones, so I've changed some of the challenges to require only screenshots and will consider changing some more as well.

Good, I hope you know that you're limited to 2 challenges, so it makes sense to push for the higher ubers, if you think you can.

Also, please stick to the rules: copy the number of the challenge you're competing for & write down your in-game account and character name.
