A new month, a new competition. The name of the game this time is big game hunting. Now, big game in this competition will be relative to your level. The goal is to have the largest (positive) gap in levels between you and your strongest foe.

How levels will be measured: Creatures will be measured using their listing on the wiki. Grizzled/Ancient creatures will be giving +5 levels to their base. While these numbers may not always be accurate, it will prove consistent enough for the purposes of this competition.

Exempt creatures: Bandits, invasion creatures, and Grimswarm will not be included in this competition. As these creature's base levels cannot be objectively known, they are not suitable for the competition.

Prizes Pt 1: The winning entry will receive 4 million silver and a permanent spot on the HARDCORE leaderboards. The Runner up will receive 1 million silver and also be mentioned on the leaderboards.

Prizes Pt 2: In addition to the first and second place prizes, I will be adding the following tiered prizes and Leaderboards updates.

Prizes Pt. 3 F2P Competitors will be given their own bracket if 2 more contests place in the competition.

Notable kills are creatures 10+ levels above you. This tier will award 500k.

Distinguished kills are creatures 15+ levels above you. This tier will award 1 million silver.

Exceptional kills are creatures 20+ levels above you. This tier will award 1.5 million silver.

Exemplary kills are creatures 25+ levels above you. This tier will award 2 million silver.

Phenomenal kills are creatures 30+ levels above you. This tier will award 2.5 million silver.

Heroic kills are creatures 35+ levels above you. This tier will award 3 million silver.

Legendary kills are creatures 40+ levels above you. This tier will award 3.5 million silver.

Fantastical kills are creatures 45+ levels above you. This tier will award 4 million silver.

Wondrous kills are creatures 50+ levels above you. This tier will award 5 million silver.

Miraculous kills are creatures 55+ levels above you. This tier will award 6 million silver.

NOTE: Only *1* kill per contestant will be counted for this competition.
NOTE: A minimum of a Notable kill is required in order to place in the competition.

Method of Entry: Valid entries can be submitted to this thread, to Evarin via discord, or to Sulikfor via Lnet (make sure I respond that I have acknowledged you or your submission may get lost). I will also be checking people's profiles to independently enter competitors and verify information when possible. However, I will use the level I observe in your profile using this method, so if you want the most accurate information you should submit a copy of your profile at the time of your kill.

Deadline: All entries will be collected or submitted no later than February 28th at 11:59 PM EST.

Disclaimer: As always I reserve the right to modify any and all rules regarding the competition, disqualify any entry, or outright cancel the event if needed. I highly doubt these steps will be necessary, however.

Good luck and good hunting!

So you mean to tell me, you made it to level 27 without any outside spells, any help, and items solely gotten by the character without. dying.once. AND now you killed something 19 levels over you again without any help and shitty gear??!

Your hands glow with power as you invoke the phrase for Major Fire...
Your spell is ready.
You gesture at a massive troll king.
You hurl a roaring ball of fire at a massive troll king!
AS: +279 vs DS: +168 with AvD: +44 + d100 roll: +24 = +179
... and hit for 26 points of damage!
Minor burns to back. Looks uncomfortable.
The troll king falls to the ground dead.
The roaring ball of fire strikes a massive troll king, blossoming into a much larger sphere of flame upon impact.
Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.

Hah. I'd have to go up to +40 and I'm running out of adjectives.

I'd imagine anyone with access to fire spells could clean house in Icemule.

Level 3 wizards should be flocking to fire guardians. That should be worth up to 18 levels difference for an easy kill.

Are people checking their fame after the kill so they'll know the exact level? Or just going off of its base level?

Hah. I'd have to go up to +40 and I'm running out of adjectives.

A massive troll king suddenly screams in rage and begins frothing at the mouth!


A massive troll king claws at you!
AS: +512 vs DS: +371 with AvD: +37 + d100 roll: +32 = +210
... and hits for 24 points of damage!
Awkward slash to your stomach!
Everyone needs another belly button.

I think that is where I stop. But you should make the SUPER DUPER L33T Level just for me at 35+ levels.

I have updated the rules of the competition to allow for a F2P bracket. Make sure to observe the minimum notable kill if you mean to try to place in the competition.

Sure. If anyone in HARDCORE manages to kill Rone they'll be the automatic winner.
