People that know us would know that a statement like that means something... Also if you think about it one of the main reasons we love this game is the close relationship between the devs and the players. It's one of the main reasons we support and love playing AL!

ALL EXCLUSIVE ITEMS SHOULD BE ANNOUNCED IN OFFICIAL SECTION OF FORUM, i enjoy all the work who made kalizza, but now when u don't have a chance for reward, the prize was annouced.

All i say is, give us a chance to own the vanity, i can run all elites from week1 and week2 10 times if needed, but i want that vanitys and the reply can't be NO U CAN'T.

gosh i prefer thats vanitys than halloween (spend 25m there whit energy) or winter event (spend 15m whit energy) vanitys.

Lol it's funny to see how people are raging. Most who participate at this contest were runnig to help their guild. And i think the prize should as it is to thank all runners for their efforts.
And all those who are raging because they were to lazy to run easy elite maps. Just keep raging but it will not change anything :)

These special vanities are unique in-game and will only be awarded to those that complete all four weekly challenges!
Don't miss your opportunity to wear a piece of AL history!

Too bad week 1 was cut short all of a sudden. I could have had these vanities easily. But I shall continue, to help my guild!

Guys there's really no point in raging - many of us don't do PvP and we will never have vanities coming as PvP tournaments trophys.

This PvE contest is thrown as a tour of arlor, where many maps are legends for hard-core PvEer. There were times when killing Bael took almost one hour (yes!) and when everybody in the guild logged off when somebody in the guild chat asked "I need Skull Cove AP".

Most of us do elites for fun - and we spend tons of plats, too. And we take these vanities as a small "thank you" from STS that we won't make elites die :)

Kali, so u said to avoid screenshots with people stacked on top of each other. So is this SS still valid?

No problem...I can see the players.

I've seen a few with everyone standing on top of eachother, and it was impossible to tell who is who and what class. Fortunately, now that we are in the third week, I've already got most players in the database, so we don't have to figure out who is what class.

Quick question I uploaded my jurn woods mount spyr, and crystal cavern picks at the same time yet I only see points for the cavern, is there anything wrong with my post?

Hey Kalizzaa, check this out:

And I got Grave and Valkin too. :)

Thank you very much for creating this contest. I had such a blast with my guildies. They rock and so do you and your team. Thank you again! :)

So we arrive at the last week of Tour of Arlor. I would like to thank Kalizzaa, Twoxc, Blipz, Candylicks, KingMartin, Raregem, Starkinea and everyone associated with this event. Yes, running elites are hard. But what must be even harder, is maintaining an event of such vast magnitude :) plus you guys even run the maps with fellow players, help them out get the points they need.
All of us at Crisis of Faith enjoyed running the maps. We are a united guild. And with the event coming in we united as a team to complete the maps. And with a helpful team of officers and our master the runs were easier to do :) from all of us at the guild we would like to thank you again. And btw we aren't gonna leave our position at top 3 ;-)

*note* remove planar tomb 2 from week 4. Thing is both sorrax and I can't decide who hates the other one the most :D haha. Kidding. Will run all the maps this week too. And best of luck to everyone running the event. Cheers :)

Week 4 will run from Thursday-Monday! Stay tuned for the word of the week.

I think it's the right time for me to thank Kalizzaa and the rest of the organizing team for giving us this marvelous event. I do not run for aps or prizes and definitely not for a vanity. I run for the enjoyment and satisfaction it brings me.

Plus, it is always nice to help friends and guildmates achieve aps or other personal goals. This event gave a lot of people the opportunity to do that. Something that would have been much harder without it now that no-one runs older elites like Nordr or Shuyal.

Thanks again!

Thank you guys so much for that awesome event your hard work united players making they play together and remembering the strategys for these old maps.Also, made me remember how Shuyal is so much harder than Tindirin!!!

I went to tavern multiple times and found only one player there. :( But...that player is one of the most awesome tanks I've meet in al, i enjoyed playing with him,without that contest i would never meet that player!

Looking forward to meet new people in week 4, the priority is my guild but i will continue going to the Kelys tavern! I loved the contest :)

Curious as to the total size of the guilds involved, but I know that's not information you can stat. Would be interesting to see the % of members participating in each case though.

3.5 hours to go until we start....I'm sure you can find good use for a handful of Ankh once week 4 kicks off ;-)

Week 4 is live!

SECRET PHRASE
Secret Phrase is:

PRO

Good luck runners!

Kali You know the vanity's name?

reserved

I think I know, but I don't want to ruin the big reveal.

If they have the name I think it will, it is fitting and worthy of the effort you are all putting in.

Hmm Ok :)

I have plenty, too many, already 923 ankhs, and i got like 100ankhs kits extra. IDK the no. of participants, but i guess this should count in as a small pay-off package. Maybe another input selection of random names, excluding the Top-Runners?

If you want to contribute to the prize pool, I can find a way to award them to deserving players.

Thank you, Kalizzaa for initiating, constructing and running this month-long elitevaganza. Thanks also to all the supporting data processing team and the sponsors. This is a feat of remarkable proportions. In a guild not specifically focused on elite run like Trinity Knights, it has been a truly challenging but ultimately rewarding event. Apart from the string of achievements earned by newly capped members, cohesion was achieved as guildies got to know and supported each other. The competitive element was a great booster to guild pride and unity. Some new elite enthusiasts were also discovered and assisted to better perform on maps. At times it was hard, even heartbreaking, and other times it was triumphant, a rollercoaster month, and now it's this close to the end, I find myself at a loss as to what to do. I truly will miss this four-week elite bootcamp. Thank you so much for organizing it, from me personally and on behalf of the Trinity Knights.

Thanks Kalizzaa, and your support for made this awesome event!

I second Hanna's comments. Although this was a guild competition, the offers of support from other guilds (Enigmatic, Elite Runners, Phoenix and others) was just amazing. It's difficult to try to coordinate runs with members from different guilds (which probably explains why TK members couldn't take full advantage of the offers of assistance), but it was definitely appreciated!

Congratulations to all the winners and those who completed all 4 weeks. Enjoy your vanities!

Special thanks to everyone involved with sponsoring this event and those that donated prizes. It has truly been an awesome event!

Thank you to the organizers of the contest to all the people who work very hard during 4 weeks. Congratulations to the participants I saw beautiful pictures good time, good loot good luck for the finalAttachment 127616

Ty Kali ! Amazing pve contest ,got people going and was rly fun! We been waiting for so long for a pve contest! Have to appreciate all the work u done, ty !

A big Thank You to Kali and his team on behalf of Dark Masters for all the time and effort they have put into this amazing contest.

Thx for this amazing contest....great work :-)

Thanks for the contest Kali. I wish real life hadn't been intruding, but I did complete it on one character. (wanted to do 4 but just no time to play)

Amazing turnout, pve guilds. We showed that there is more to this game than PvP and drama, and people DO love to run elites. Maybe STS will actually take us seriously now and make some PvE tournies and banners, rather than just PvP all the time.

Wish I knew about this contest before looks and fun and the vanity you can get is 10/10

Thank you so much kali for organizing this, thank you everyone who helped record the runs and particpated in organizing this contest. A huge thank you to all the prize donators for donating huge amounts of gold! Honestly I enjoyed myself alot more than winter event. I made new friends. Guilds ran elites harder than ever and people have improved their skill, abilities, APs, knowledge of pulls and how to run.

Huge thank you!
