This is really exciting. It was such a fun contest to run last time regardless of the prizes. Thank you for making another contest that is all about running maps and having fun with your guild.

Can we do these runs solo?
Can I participate with more than 1 character and class? (If so do they all need to be in the same guild?)

THE TOUR OF ARLOR RETURNS
A few weeks ago, I asked the community what kind of contests they'd love to see in the forums, and there was one answer that lead the pack by far: Kalizzaa's Tour of Arlor. For those that aren't familiar, the Tour of Arlor was a player-run contest back in 2015 that stoked the spirit of community, cooperation, and helping out fellow Legends. Well--it's back! And we're looking forward to keeping the spirit of Kalizzaa's contest alive in this new edition.
EVENT KICKOFF
This event will begin on Monday, July 27th, 12:00am CST and will run for 6 weeks, ending on Sunday, Sept 6th at 11:59pm CST.
HOW IT WORKS
The Tour of Arlor is all about helping your guild members gather any missing APs, running with friends, making new friends, having fun, and perhaps earning some loot and prize money along the way.
Every week will focus on completing 2 seasons of Elite Maps, with points earned for yourself and your guild for the completion of each map, and extra bonus points for completing every map for the week.
Prizes (below) will be awarded to top guilds and top players weekly, and at the end of the contest.
CONTEST TIMELINE
WEEK 1: Brackenridge and Ydra Forest
WEEK 2: Dead City and Kraken Isles
WEEK 3: Nordr and Shuyal
WEEK 4: Tindirin and Planar Tombs
WEEK 5: Glintstone and Underhul
WEEK 6: Festerfang and Vardan Valley
POINTS
- Each Rogue and Sorcerer will score 1 (one) point for the successful completion of a map, and Warriors will receive 2 (two) points.
- A one-time bonus of 100 points will be awarded to each and every character that completes every map for the week. For example, players that run all the Brackenridge and Ydra Forest maps in Week 1 will score an additional 100 bonus points for their guild.
RULES & TRACKING
- A weekly contest thread will be posted on Sunday evening of each week. Entries will start being accepted at 12:00am CST on Monday and will be accepted until 11:59pm CST the following Sunday. Entries posted before or after these times will be removed and will not count toward your point total.
- Once screenshot per run. Make sure your party agrees on who will post the screenshot before you leave the run. Duplicated entries will be discarded, but this will also delay tracking and results, so please do your best to only post one!
- In this contest, there is zero tolerance for cheating or any other ToS violations. Players who break the rules will be disqualified from the contest and points will be removed from personal and guild totals. So let's keep it on the up-and-up, eh?
General Guidelines
- To receive points, you must post a screenshot with all players on screen
- The boss must be dead on screen and/or loot visible on screen or chatbox. If I can't find the dead boss, nor the loot in chat or on the ground, no points will be awarded.
- Your guild tag must be visible. If I cannot see your guild tag, I will not award points to you since this is a guild based challenge!
- Each week, I will have a catch-phrase that must be spoken and visible in the chat box. No catch-phrase, no points for anyone! Only one person needs to say the catch-phrase.
- No duplicate posts. Only one screenshot per run, per party.
Additional rules will be posted with each weekly contest, so please review the weekly thread (found in the Announcements section).
Tracking
Results and points totals can be tracked in a public spreadsheet (coming soon) and will be added to each weekly post as it ends (this may take a day or two as the work is rather manual).
PRIZES
TOP GUILD (Weekly): 1,000,000 gold*
TOP GUILD (Final, after 4 weeks)
1st Guild: 3,000,000 gold*
2nd Guild: 2,000,000 gold*
3rd Guild: 1,000,000 gold*
*Gold will be awarded to the guild leader to spend or distribute as they see fit. But, in the spirit of Kalizzaa's original contest, we encourage guild leaders to put this toward something for the whole guild, since it was a team effort.
TOP SCORING PLAYER (Weekly):
1st: 500k gold + Arcane Egg*
2nd: 250k gold + Mythic Egg*
3rd: 100k gold + Legendary Egg*
4th - 25th: 50k gold
*Players may choose any pet of the appropriate rarity that comes in egg form.
TOP SCORING PLAYERS (Final):
1st: 1m gold
2nd: 500k gold
3rd - 25th: 100k gold
COMPLETION PRIZE (Final):
For players that complete all maps for all 6 weeks of the contest, you'll receive this exclusive contest vanity (helm and armor). 1 (one) vanity will be granted per class with which you participated. So, if you entered with your rogue and sorcerer, you'll receive a rogue and sorcerer vanity. These can not be sold or traded.

RANDOM PLAYER PRIZES (Final):
At the conclusion of this event, we will choose 5 random players of each class (15 players total) to receive 500,000 gold.
CONSOLATION PRIZES (Final):
For players that do not win a prize in any of the other categories (including the vanity), 50 players will be selected at random to win 500 platinum.
CAVEAT: Tindirin
Same as last time, there are no timers in Tindirin, so please keep your team and party honest. We'll be reviewing chat-log loot to ensure that you did indeed complete the elite run. If cheating is suspected, the players involved will be disqualified from the contest, and any points earned will be forfeited. This means all points, both personal and for your guild.
See you Monday!
I'm so excited to go on this adventure with you, Legends! The contest begins on Monday July 27, so feel free to ask any questions here. If you have a guild that's accepting new members, or you're a player who is looking for a guild for the contest, you can use this thread to coordinate that too!
Do you have to be in a guild to participate if youre only aiming for the vanity set? And do the screenshots have to consist of the same team every entry?
I think the rewards should be reviewed , just looks imbalanced , like 500 plat looks like its actually better than the other rewards ^^)

Leave color as is, its a bit nostalgic color. But it would be very cool and complementary if STS used the same vanity layout as the journeyman vs a blue jester BC that style of vanity is more fitting for this event .Could you guys make the Jester Vanity set a bit tad darker?

Tho I don't mind this jester set either, looks cool also.

Makes sense since we are running ELITE maps. Would love to see a blue/black version of the infamous Elite Journey.Can we have Blue Elite journey vanity? 0.0 that would be great
+1 for this!

Dam its so exiting, and it's so funny that event will start on the 5th Letal sharks guild bday! What a nice start to celebrate it
The only problem are the rewards:
-I was hoping for a version of elite journey, not jester...
-The prizes with eggs should scale starting with heroic and ending with mythic, not legendary
heroic egg prices range from 300k to 60m+Dam its so exiting, and it's so funny that event will start on the 5th Letal sharks guild bday! What a nice start to celebrate it

so? also arcanes can go from 500k to 25m
Remi said we may choose any egg from this rarity, and looking for the most expensive among its own pet rarity, heroic wins so it wold fit as higher tier pet prize.
Ooooouch, I thought it was Elite Journey Heraldic Vanity...
But thanks for the contest anyway!!! Will be fun

i have read from page 1 until the last comment, and i have several questions :
1. What if in our party theres 2 different guild, or maybe all players is different guild?
2. For the completion rewards or the vanity rewards, is it just completing all week? or is it count with points as leaderboard?
thank you, sorry for my silly questions

1. It doesn’t matter what guild you are running. This is like marathon run. You meet different players and make friends with them and have fun. If you want to run with different guild, discuss before you run. We don’t wanna get many screenshot as it will discarded. However, I suggest you to run with your guild mate since this is guild based challenge. You know what I mean - TOP GUILD(Weekly) 1st Guild something like that.
2. If you manage to get 100 points all six weeks then you are eligible with the prize (vanity). For example, players that run all the brakenridge and Ydra Forest maps in Week 1 will score an additional 100 bonus points for their guild. If you do not complete any one week, you will not be eligible to receive the prize.
Please keep in mind that screenshot has a time countdown so post appropriate.
Ps. Just a reminder that rules and regulations may not be officially yet as last Tour of Arlor was not hosted by STS. Remiem may change up the rules as said. Perhaps prizes too
