I was in a party for 3/4 of the race, but still managed to get to lvl 21.4, without even using novas.

It seems like being in a party really gimps the exp. What are the highest levels people got while in a party?
Testikel seemed to say he was in a party of 3 but I find that hard to believe.


It's not just the xp that gets gimped when you're in a party.

Per Person Values
Party of 2: 75% Item Drops, 87.5% Experience & Flask Recovery

Party of 3: 66.(6)% Item Drops, 83.(3)% Experience & Flask Recovery

Party of 4: 62.5% Item Drops, 81.25% Experience & Flask Recovery

Of course, the way enemy stats scale, they're also much easier as you get larger parties, but the actual quantity of enemies remains the same, so you're eventually going to run a deficit on experience and items.

27, #4 Place here. I was in a party with 2 pals.
There were only 140 players in the league ? I thought there were more in the other races.

Congratulations guys, you did well :-)

Hm, so, wouldn't the best possible way to reach Ruthless take a team?

I don't see how a team can win XP competitions now (lawl the irony), but a team could probably reach Ruthless far more efficiently with good sharing of gems and stacking everything on one player.

Due to some lag issues with Europe (our ISP is talking to another ISP about it to resolve it), a lot of Europeans decided not to play today's event.

We were pretty close.

Prizes have now been awarded - the characters have been transfered onto the winners' accounts. Note that they are hardcore, so if you want the items in the default league, you'll need to kill them.

Because I started them off in the Twilight strand without a default weapon, that shouldn't be too hard :P

That would be correct, minus the part about gimping the other party members to make one person stronger. As long as you maintain a good balance within the party such that no one is competing for specific (non-currency) item drops, you'll actually have an advantage in everything except experience.

2 Players: 150% Enemy Life, 110% Enemy Damage
3 Players: 200% Enemy Life, 120% Enemy Damage
4 Players: 250% Enemy Life, 130% Enemy Damage
...and so on
Grats to all who won prizes!
A fun run.
Went with a Bow Duelist (36th lv 18)
Didnt get any drops and made the misstake to run "too fast"
=had to go back and gain lvs in lower areas(close to the prize in Fetid though , but when 8 monsters left "Noooooope"
He he ,Grats ImDisappoint!
Cheers ,
