We haven't had a Tournament in a while and really the participants haven't been too many. The activity is greater now so I hope this might contribute to a change of playing style and maybe even to some comebacks!

The Tournament: Farmathon

Farm up to 10 eligable items from any level 85 area with or without a boss to get a score - highest score wins!

May the most effective (and luckiest!) farmer win!

Here's what you need to compete:

1. A Hardcore character
2. A Walkthrough posted on d2jsp or atleast some kind of summary of it

This means that the highest possible score is 482 (10x Tyrael's Might) and the lowest possible score is 10 (10x Immortal King's Stone Crusher).

ONLY these items at these locations count. If you run Diablo or Baal you are free to kill Diablo and Baal aswell as count their drops to your score. Sparkly Chest drops in these areas are also allowed. The earliest level 85 area is Mausoleum, which means you should have progressed atleast thus far to compete in this Tournament.

Runes, runewords, rares, magics or other items does not count. Consider them a bonus to your effort!

Rules:

* Your character must be made in Hardcore
* /players 8 must be on at all times DURING the tournament
* Only manual play
* Untwinked (no muling)
* Ladder runewords allowed
* PlugY allowed but only with patch 1.13c or 1.13d (Annihilus and Torch allowed)
* If you die you're out

* When you find an item take a screenshot of it dropping (on the ground, untouched). Take a screenshot of it identified in your inventory with manually written dates (year/month/day). Both these screenshots are required for a score! When this is done you can do whatever you want with the item (use it, sell it, stash it, whatever!)

* ONLY items found within the Tournaments time frame gives you score. Items found before or after does not.

* I will give myself the freedom of disqualifying anyone who I think is cheating. Be honest and enjoy it!

* You are free to run more than, or all, areas!

Kick-off:

Starts: Monday the 25:th of November
Ends: Sunday the 17:th of December

This should give everyone enough time to get a character ready if they are starting from scratch. It also means you don't have to play too much to get a good score since you have a month of time to improve it. Maybe you are lucky?

Prizes

1:st place: XXX forum gold
2:nd place: XXX forum gold
3:rd place: XX forum gold

Exactly how much I'm not sure of yet. It should be a good chunk!

It's free to join the Tournament! Donations for the prize pool is welcome though!

Read this!

I stole the idea from the incgamers forum. The Scoring System aswell. I don't think anyone would mind as I've also changed it up a bit. It's only for the fun of it anyway! A good idea is worth using!

Anyone can join, and if you're thinking of starting a WT but haven't gotten to it yet. Now would be a good time!

This Tournament is for some extra motivation. Since we are all about untwinked chracters here this will add some extra spice into finding items we don't need aswell!

If I, let's say, come in on third place the forum gold will go to the one who finnished fourth! I do reserve myself the bragging rights of coming third place though

ill join but not sure on which char just yet, might even lvl another for this

It's not a must, just for fun bro



I asked to have it locked and then unlocked

Yeah, think about it! No hurry!

might be into this depending on if i even have a character able to farm by then, when ladder reset is, and how into it i get

is there any restrictions on how many items you find in a specific area? ie. found 3 coas in xxx, so only 1/3 of the coas count ?

Maybe Ill try to be into it...but I post my Wt when they are nearly finished so...

Believe me my next build cant farm these areas haha

No time to to play more than 3-4 hours a week so

Good luck to everyone!

Might try this but right now my Druid is stuck in Act 5 NM. Can't kill Baal.

so they dont need to be fresh characters or?

I hope to see you there! No restrictions. Every item counts!



Haha, I know you wouldn't do a build that easy so I didn't expect you to join



You'll get there!



Any character as long as it has some kind of documentation ^^
