Huh? What failed me?

Quick fingers? I could have transmuted that :/

[cunning pagoda]

It'd be really cool if it listed exactly what failed you, like which cards or whatever.

[fossil ice]

I wish it integrated into the game

[analog summit]

Yeah not allowed monster cards 😦

[zenith iris]

Disappointing for sure, but it was a nice run.

4x surge is lovely

[frank minnow]

How do people get so many upgraded rings of power?

[wild pivot]

Duplicity talent plus optionally craftsman for the upgrades. Many transmuted potions/items via weapon power/NPC and some occasional mirror shrines or forgety talent for the amount of rings.

[tawdry linden]

What they said.

Didn't even realise Quick Fingers was a Monster card.

But yeah, nice run. Basically poison until I could transition into RoP.

I only just discovered the challenge runs, and it totally made my week.

[analog summit]

So you make use of your hero power and start in the graveyard

You can get powerful cards from the graves that you can transmute into rings of power

With duplicity each ring you add increases its power

The 40gp potions from the alchemist also transmute into rings of power

[zenith iris]

A dirty part of the recipe is savescumming.
I don’t savescum in regular play, but score-chasing is a particular art, and when you’re 99% sure the top scores involve scumming, it’s no-holds-barred.

You can terminate the app if Auric Weapon doesn’t give the transmute you wanted.

[fossil ice]

I reserve save scumming for misclicks

[fervent idol]

yeah i imagine save scumming would be required to get that many rings? could be wrong, if anyone whos done it says so 🤷‍♂️

[analog summit]

Yes I save scum for rings

I didn't savescum fights though

[zenith iris]

Yeah, you only get rings 25% of the time.
Would be a better experience if auric was deterministic, like other transmutes.

[boreal oriole]

Savescumming fights is usually a bad decision IMO as it just delays the inevitable. If your build is bad enough to go down once, it will likely get shot down again

[fervent idol]

i appreciate that!

i think it would make sense for the power to be a delve 3 as well

having it be so random means i never use it; and the fact that everyone is scumming for the rings means that even if the intent is to make a very random game MORE random, its not working

[analog summit]

Yeah I agree

But I did get a new appreciation for how powerful anyform rings can be 😄

[random peak]

Same.

[zenith iris]

Yeah, it’s a fun deck.
On one of my runs, I lucked into supernova on the philosopher’s stone. Spine died next turn. 😙

[analog summit]

That happened to my disqualified run, babbling book ruined it for me

[random peak]

This time I got so many rings by using the illusionist. Kept me cash light but 5 more rings made it worthwhile.

[zenith iris]

That’s rough

[fervent idol]

gotta watch those randoms

[analog summit]

Its why I needed to recruit succubus, because in ambermines babbling book gave me creativity

[fervent idol]

one of my runs i accidentally took the imbue from the imp

[analog summit]

Had to unimbue aura of zeal

[fervent idol]

obv disqualified but im so used to getting it!

[analog summit]

Excited to find out this weeks challenge

[cunning pagoda]

Maybe I'm a curmudgeon, but I feel like save scumming to manipulate the RNG in your favor is basically cheating. Probably in the minority there though. 😆

[zenith iris]

Valid

[errant acorn]

GG @zenith iris, you just advanced to level 19!

[dense ingot]

Save-scumming is not in the spirit of the competition. If I could enforce a "no save-scumming" rule, I would. But I can't so I have to go by the honor-system, and it disappoints me that people still do it 😞

[zenith iris]

My first submission wasn’t scummed. But when I saw the leaders had scummed, well, when in Rome…
That said, I think the community here is solid enough that if expectations were explicitly set, it wouldn’t be a problem.

[random peak]

Pretty much 90% of my scumming is to counteract fat fingers or not properly reading dialogue options.

[fossil ice]

I just manually type out my run submissions to get the high score

Ring of Power x60

[cunning pagoda]

lol

I won't lie, after my run where I fat fingered going into Lord of Despair without using a campfire to drop my banner of unity, I considered removing it manually and resubmitting. 😉 But I fought the urge.

[dense ingot]

I'm ok with save-scumming because of misclicks and things like that. But I agree that it is pretty much cheating to save-scum for specific transmute results. But as @zenith iris said, when in Rome... So I think its kind of accepted that you have to save-scum to compete for high scores
Also, yeah, there is nothing I can do to stop someone from just manually typing out a run snippet without even actually playing 😅

But I will continue to say that Save-Scumming is discouraged anyway

[zenith iris]

Auric is uniquely scummable, so it’s less of an issue generally in challenge formats.

I doubt Ganon would take the step of DQing players with highly improbable decks, but if he did, I wouldn’t complain.

[paper harness]

Agreed. I have used save-scumming for misclicks, but not to change random results. There were definitely cards that I had to transmute multiple times because they turned into other legendaries the first time. But I just did it after the next battle (Contract Killing did a lot of work for me)

[analog summit]

Well I at least admit I did it 😄

I will admit I was save scumming originally for Time is Money, after 10 attempts I realised it was a metamorphosis card

[zenith iris]

Haaa

[split sequoia]

Definitely admit to having scummed on Auric transmutes. Transmutes on tap are so tempting, especially with the pool of available transmutes being so small... (33% chance for ring since no Time is Money). I recuse my entry 😬.

[analog summit]

There is no way that people didn't savescum

Especially when you see the top scores

[split sequoia]

I think there's really no way to truly combat it unless there were a specific in-game weekly challenge button that, like, flips everything to being controlled by the seed, including card draw, transmutes, and what not, like in StS

I'll recuse in the future if a run is a legitimate contender for a high score and it's corrupted with scummery :).

[fervent idol]

its an interesting issue; specifically when concerned about high scores. I will scum to get something in regular play that i really want for a particular build tbh, but i dont do it in the challenges, simply because that was the spirit of the challenge. I don't have anything against it and also that seemed like far too much exit and restart for me lmao. So i just avoided the ring build

[dense ingot]

I'm not going to disqualify anyone (unless it is like incredibly, blatantly obvious) because the game just isn't setup to prevent it. It would require the devs spending time to make Transmutes (and other things) seeded. I assume at this point, since they haven't, that they have already deemed it not worth their time. No need to recuse yourself. These challenges are just meant to be for fun anyway 🙂

[zenith iris]

All the same, I’ll embrace the straight and narrow in future runs.
A decision made easier by finally having secured a damned trophy. 😝

[dense ingot]

I know that Rey did test out having Combats seeded, but he didn't like it (said it felt weird that everytime he restarted the fight he drew the same cards). So I know for sure that those won't be seeded.

I assume that Transmutes presented some technical difficulty and that's why they never got seeded

[fervent idol]

i believe i asked something similar one time, and he replied that there was a technical issue with the "delve 3" action outside of combat iirc

[zenith iris]

I believe transmutes that aren’t auric are seeded now.

[dense ingot]

Hey! Nice to see that you have reclaimed that top spot (and saved me the trouble of having to decide how to deal with Deeeef having the top spot in 2 difficulties)

[fossil ice]

Wait

I always assumed blightbane checked the run vs the website

I didn't think manually typing runs was actually possible LMFAO

[split sequoia]

I don't think I've spotted anyone doing so, but yeah, theoretically it's possible. I've used it to change my character name before if I forgot to after restarting a run (or if I wanted to name my Scion in Sunforge), but that's it. That would be super frowned upon 😬

[fossil ice]

Watch me drop a 30 mil point run

[zenith iris]

I mean, if Dawncaster ever exceeds the user threshold where it needs bloody SHA-256 signatures to avoid degeneracy of its side-competitions, I expect Reyality’s income would be a fine consolation for having to deal with the obnoxious boilerplate coding.

[fossil ice]

I've been sending rey 1k a week on PayPal to get rid of save scumming, but I keep seeing him Venmo prostitutes every Wednesday....

[wild pivot]

Chiming in on the save scumming topic: ofc in my run(s) there was save scuming involved with Auric weapon. I think theres no legit way to get beyond say 6-8 rings with the given percentages.
I love going for min-maxed decks and finding out what level is possible to achieve with a certain set of parameters.
Seeing the discussion around the topic, I will refrain from submitting these kinds of runs to challenges from now on. Also feel free to exclude my submissions to the ongoing challenge.

Btw so excited for the upcoming challenge

[zenith iris]

I nominate Thraeg for, at a minimum, an honorable mention of Hard no-scum.
I think my 339 was no-scum, but I couldn’t swear to it.

[analog summit]

I was the same as you, tbh I was actually really excited that a ring gold build is actually viable

I literally had no idea what Auric Weapon would be used for before this run

@dense ingot petition to have quicksilver weapon as the next challenge so I can see people figure out how to break it 😄

Most corruptions, no rares, hunter/seeker/knight 😛

New challenge is up and all, but I will say I'm definitely in the no scum camp (as you can see from my results! ;P) but totally get why folks have been doing so. Congrats to all this weeks winners 🙂
