thank you for your patience Iolanthe. I normally go halves with my comrade in arms on both the fighting & the rewards. It makes no sense to be greedy for XP, as the troops you save in sharing the adventure will fight a different adventure increase the loss/rewards ratio & get XP wherever they fight albeit at different ratios on different advs.

the reason it is usually done line that is because it is hard to find a "right" division of experience when clearing a map together and much easier to both clear same adventure and swap the lootspots with each other and each kill the same camp/attack same camp on the others map - that way both get the same xp and the same lootchances - same system applies for a 3 way split ofc

That's it exactly. Each invited player need only make one kill on a successfully completed Adventure to gain a *full* set of loot. This loot only appears when a second, and on some Advs third, player makes at least one kill. If that doesn't happen that loot doesn't exist so is basically wasted.

There are a number of reasons one might do the vast majority of an Adventure; the one Qualan mentioned, wanting to level, a desire to experiment, wanting to potter quietly away in your own time, etc. If one is doing the whole thing anyway it seems almost a shame *not* to put that potential extra loot to some use so people will offer the lootspot to a friend or sell it in global-3 to make some extra GC.


And no worries, I just hope I have actually got it this time. :)

Didn't I explain all that in my first post on this thread?

This is recommended if you and a friend each do a DP and swap the lootspot,
and especially if you have only 2 generals and need them both for the attack on camp 15.
OR
A lootspot buyer can bring 1C to be sent either onto camp 14 (from G2) or onto camp 15."

it might be clearer.

Thanks Iolanthe! Changed that wording a bit in the guide. :)

It's often the case that people paid for the LS excatly so they can settle for loosing 1R or nothing.

If you share it with a friend it can be great to share in the xp aswell as loot, but if you paid good golden coins for a LS, what you basically want is the loot for no, or insignificant casulties.

It depends a bit on the adventure with some of them it can be very interesting e.g. SftR: bring 1 general with 1R & 40S and take out the nearest trap of 40 wolves. You'll lose 1R and the general can go on straight away (40E with 0 losses can be done as well, but it's about the example itself).

Anyone have current ls prices (Gunpowder etc.)
