    With the release of the Indians, comes new quests. As a celebration of this new civilization, I seek players that can master four quests and establish new records.

    And this is where you come in. Complete Pillage the Village, The Gold-Bound Tusk Blades, A Shield Made of Gold, and An Attire Fit For Kings as fast as possible while still achieving the optional. Think as ingeniously as you can, and you may win a high roll Walls of Vishwakarma.

    Competition ends on December 3.

    Rules:
    Runs must be recorded, and completed in Online mode.
    Solo ONLY. Co-op is not allowed.
    Quests must be done in Elite if available, with all optionals.
    Advisors must be visible during the run.
    NO consumables are allowed.
    All gear and civilizations is allowed.
    My initial runs of each quest qualify for a spot on the leaderboard, but I cannot submit any new runs.
    Players only qualify for a reward, including the participation reward, if they submit a time for all four quests.
    1st, 2nd, and 3rd place in a given quest awards 3, 2, and 1 points, respectively. Earn more points for a higher ranking in the overall leaderboard. Tiebreakers will be determined by the sum of all times submitted by a player.
    Prizes are only awarded for the overall leaderboard.

    Leaderboards:

    Overall:

    Donar: 12 pts, 20:33
    DesArch: 8 pts, 33:30

    Pillage the Village:

    Donar: 3:21
    DesArch: 4:17

    Tusk Blades:

    Donar: 4:08
    DesArch: 6:42

    A Shield Made of Gold:

    Donar: 6:51
    DesArch: 11:42

    An Attire Fit For Kings:
    Donar: 6:13
    DesArch: 10:49

    Prizes for the Overall leaderboard:

    1st place: 1 10.3 Walls of Vishwakarma

    2nd place: 1 Set's Sash of the Solstice + 1 Arrows of the Piercing Frost
    View attachment 3222 View attachment 3223
    3rd place: 1 12.8 Walls of the Piercing Frost
    PiercingFrostWalls.png
    Participation reward: 50,000 Coins

    Useful information:
    Tivala, like Vemundr and Beorix, is considered a scout, so Lucky Scout Leucon will boost his stats.
    Tivala is strong enough that he can at bare minimum, harass many of the villagers in the enemy bases in these quests.
    In A Shield Made of Gold, the player starts with three cavalry units despite the optional not letting the player train cavalry.
    In all four quests, there are villages that are not sealed off by any walls.
    Club and Fire Monkeys can heal out of combat.

    Final notes:

    Submit your runs down below!

    Can we change civs for each quest or does it have to be mono civ?

    You can do each quest with a different civ if you believe that is the best route. Just keep in mind that I'm pretty sure Indians would be best for Pillage the Village, since it uses Fire and Club Monkeys.

    Yea, hopefully. I thought about certain ways but it is not optimized. Under 20 min should be possible

    With the Halloween event now active, now is a great time for achieving high times in my contest! Items that are potentially the best for the fastest times, like literally any Zahhak weapon, or the Marduk Fire Pot for Monkeys, can be farmed!

    This contest is ending on December 3! If you want a Vishwakarma wall for free, this is your last chance at going for it, so take advantage of the extra day given for this Halloween Event!

    The contest requires doing all four quests, AND recording them, for eligibility of rewards. So looks like your window of opportunity is over.

    Congratulations @Donar for winning the contest! The wall has been mailed, enjoy your wall!

    The contest is officially over. No more entries are allowed. I highly doubt I will do any more contests because no one except Donar apparently likes going out of their comfort zone for prizes.

    I kinda knew that :)
    I looked at the time left and the fact the chests are useless if you are at Lvl 40 ... so I passed.
    I don't think I would have made 1st or 2nd Lolz ? Anyway the contest was very entertaining, thanks for setting it up.

    Yes a real pity that.
    I would have had a go, if it was another area. For me it was simple, if I didn't win I got nothing.

    50k were for sure. 3. place was also almost 100% sure if noone else participates. And 2. place was manageable. I don't say 1. place was impossible to beat either

    You would have made third and gotten the participation coin as well if you participated and did all four quests with the rules in mind.
