Imperial Goldsmith returns for that type of player who enjoys fine-tuning an item down to the last point. It is not an event to run mindlessly; here precision matters a lot.
In this third edition, the first phase functions as a classification by performance. It is not enough to enter the server: you must prepare the character, understand the technical objective and submit a valid test within the deadline.
Access to the tournament server
The first thing was to enter the special server correctly. It seems silly, but in this type of tournament, a bad step can make you lose time from the beginning.
- Create a new character.
- Enter the option to choose server.
- Open the full list with the world map icon.
- Select the Tournament server.
- Do not change the nickname or colors of the competition character.
Purpose of classification
The challenge of this first week was to work on a specific object and bring it to the best possible result within the rules. The example shown was the Sac Mortuaire, so the evaluation revolved around the actual quality of the smithmagic.
- The score depends on the actual quality of the work on the object.
- Exceeding the theoretical maximum of a characteristic does not add extra points.
- Runes that do not exist by default on the item also do not add additional value.
That's pretty good because it doesn't reward just adding lines for the sake of adding lines. The idea is to get closer to the best possible balance, right where you can tell who really understands the fine logic of smithmagic.
How to validate participation
It was not enough to do the work within the game: then you had to fill out the official form for the result to count. That part is key, because a good object is not of much use if the shipment is poorly done.
- You must complete the form indicated in the news.
- Delivery must be made before the closing of the phase.
- Participation implies accepting the official rules of the contest.
Why this news deserves attention
It's not news to everyone, and that's okay. For those who enjoy the artisanal part of the game, Orfebre Imperial turns a technical and silent discipline into a competition with visibility, prestige and clear rules.
If you like serious smithmagic, you should read this type of publication in its entirety. Not because of the hype, but because every detail of the procedure can directly affect your participation.
