Hey folks! Refreshing cache should prevent these issues for the time being.

On the first day we're already over 10%.

Side note: I'm gonna be donating 1000 Z tokens in 25 token increments every day until the contest ends. Since there's much less cooldown than the gold contest I should be able to get away with this.

side note 2: Some idea I wanted to try was trying to find a "true" rank gold. I'll have to do some research before I think about this though. I will say immediately at least, that it still won't be reliable because I'll only be able to access the top 200 ranks. Anyone outside of the top 200 will still be hidden and I won't be able to get an accurate picture of anyone outside of the top 200.

A war, nice. Gonna start farming some war waves. Will there be titles released for this war? If so, what's the amount to achieve that?

I managed to deliver on the last post after some finagling with some http requests and aq API. The result? I have a "truer" ranking of the gold contest. However the data is far too large to post here, so you can see it in the paste. However, some cursory statistics that I think will interest a few people:

1. This still won't really account for anyone outside of the top 200. There may be some people out there waiting to jump...
2. I neglected apparently, to also count chests in the player's inventory, nor their current gold. As well as getting rid of potential duplicated alt characters. I will figure out how to do all of this later, although even this I doubt changes this outlook by much.
3. The biggest gainer in terms of ranks is Valent who jumps from 182nd to 10th place. The biggest loser on the other hand, is biggest loser is yup who would drop from 24th to 52nd place.
4. To be at the "real" 50th place, you need 13.5b gold. Right now the current reflected amount is 8 billion. So the real 50th place person is Katsuichi Shikyuujuuni! the ShadowWalker who currently sits at 23rd place.
5. The biggest gainer in terms of gold is Scrooge McDuck who is holding an astronomical 143b gold right now.
6. Someone remarked earlier that we'll hit 2 trillion. There's definitely enough gold that hasn't been donated yet to hit that. By my estimation there's 1,099,000,000,000 gold (+1 trillion) still waiting to be donated in addition to the 1.8t already donated as of this post. 3 trillion is definitely within the cards assuming we keep farming for the rest of the contest duration. But is 4 trillion possible? Who knows? Maybe the staff ought to give us something extra special if we do...

PS: AQ Staff, if you saw enormous data spikes on checking out character pages, that was me testing out my script. Sorry in advance.

PS2: If someone wants the source code to my script, I'll hand that out soon enough once I get those minute details out. But I really think AQ should give us access to API's because I don't have a real good way that doesn't involve massive page GREPS except for the ranking payload which sits in a convenient JSON endpoint..

PS3: If someone out there is more adept with AQ's API's and stuff, please give me a pm. Especially in regards to how I can find players outside the top 200.

PS4: Other suggestions are helpful too to improve this.

PS5: I want this for Christmas :(




Anyways, this war is advancing quite quickly compared to past Frostval delivery wars! The extra characters and estates probably have to do something with it but this is a nice change (although bad for the people who need warring for gold as highlighted above since they'll have less time to cash out). People really don't like slow wars so hopefully going forward delivery wars won't have to take forever. On the other hand wars being too fast may pose problems for the staff due to the new calculus of new warring tactics and estates so maybe in the future, the staff should consider adding waves to wars to account for both factors...

I suppose the town is bugged in the sense that isn't it too early for the snow to be melting now?

Meeting the vorpal zard counts as 4 waves during waring for some reason. Not that I am complaining its rathher funny to deliver gifts after just one enemy.

Unfortunately, look's like Lore also has a global warming problem :(
Aww, looks like the Regindragon art update hasn't been rolled into the armors yet.

Also, is there an escape button for the war? I'm currently trapped in an endless gift delivery with no way out.

Are we intended to fight 4 monsters without heals? Sorry, haven't done a war in a while and don't remember these changes.

Looks like the Tempest armor is great for this war. Lots of high energy resistances!

The BURP Slayer could be helpful too for all these BURPs. Too bad it doesn't greater element seek :(

Okay, I have a new dataset. This time:

1. I incorporated everyone who also participated in last year's contest AND who has been active since Dec 1 2021 which while still not complete, added another 39 players to the data set, some of which whom have joined the top 50 ranks.

2. I now have a more comprehensive check that now factors in the player's current gold, and the storage in their inventory along with the previously used metrics of how much storage they have in their vault.

3. It's still imperfect as there still might be people who were not active in last year's contest and have not donated in this contest enough to show in the top 200 who might still be missing from the data set. You'll see a lot of rank 201 players as a result.

4. Note that even if you see these numbers, it still doesn't account well enough for people who can farm multiple characters a day.

5. For alt characters, I still have them on the list. However I subtracted their vault gold from their totals (so it's only their gold donated so far, their current gold, and what they have in their inventory). Even though they're alts because they're still on the list they should be included for a more honest total. I actually have no idea how to actually handle this. I feel like they should be there because you have to pass them to get ahead, but they're just taking up space now.

6. Keep in mind these are still face-value numbers, it's only where people are right now, not where people will end up. This doesn't account for players who can farm a lot faster because of things like X-boost, Spirit Miscs and having extra characters. Just because your rank is lower now doesn't mean you don't have time to catch up. Incorporating that is going to be way beyond my pay grade for now.

@PD: So is the rank on your data what it would be if we sold everything in our vault and donated the gold correct?
AQ  Post #: 37

Yes, it's an aggregate number if you sold and donated everything based on:

The gold you have on your character currently
Any storage chests you have in your normal inventory
Any storage chests you have in your player vault

I might at a later point try to include in the calculation other items that are commonly stored and sold like Mutant King Club, War's Legacy, War-Torn Heirloom, etc. However this is still going to be off by however much because there's an infinite number of items which can serve these purposes so the number will never *truly* be as accurate as it should be. Nonetheless I think it's accurate enough to know who your general competition is and where you should *generally* be if your goal is to place at a certain rank. And even then it wouldn't account for other strategies and tactics like buying GGB hidden scrolls, storing sellables on alts, and more. However, there are probably but a handful that actually do those kinds of things so I think a general calculation would still be correct enough of where people are right now.

Man, I can't be the only one that has issues with the war. At some point, completely random, the next monster encounter just straight up goes into an infinite loading screen and I'm forced to exit the launcher (killing momentum in the process). Latest version of it. Somebody please tell me one of the encounters is messed up.

I keep seeing comments about the infinite loading bug during the war. I can only assume there is a buggy mob that doesn't load properly.

That being said, I personally haven't encountered this bug yet. But I'm also not doing Endless. I have no idea if this has anything to do with it, just throwing it out there.

Thanks to everyone who has given away Z-tokens and Gold.

I don't really need the gold,
but the Z-tokens have bought a couple of Storage Buildings for my new characters.
Malvegil
Borin
Duskwater
Favara and
Finiranon.

War was at 50% earlier today.

So I may be able to sell a few houses next week and Donate the Profits to a few other people?
