    If your server cant hit 3M on a consistant basis, then no one will be doing ham. That also means it will be easy to reach Top 3 and hopefully you and/or a group of friends can push it over 3M for easy seals. I dont know if Top 3 will grant seals on a LV 1 Hamlet.

    I'm not entirely sure how it all works to be honest. Does reaching top 3 guarantee you seals or something?

    iirc if you're one of the top 3 the individual reward you get post battle can be a seal, 100% for #1 and lower odds for 2 and 3.

    I apologize if this has been covered considering I semi-abandoned this thread, but the MIN/BOT/FSH hats are in the standard loot pool, right? And not just in the additional rewards for #1/2/3...?

    Thanks, that's interesting. I guess I should aim for top 3 to speed things up then. You say "can" be a seal, how many items is in the loot pool?

    The hamlet due to start in 18 hours is at 1.3mil/1.7mil, that doesn't sound good either. But the top guy is only 53k.

    Biggest problem is going to be convincing 7 people to waste a few days of their play time to help me when I haven't been around much to help them with theirs. I guess this is one content I should have logged in more often for. If I can get that part of the relic quest done before v2 I'll be happy.

    The other individual rewards are the off-hand tools and bracelet/wristlet I believe.

    Yes. Hats are from box, not Captain. Only Wristlets/Bracelets are captain afaik

    SHIT! I've been avoiding Hamlet Defense because I thought you had to be top-3 to get those hats, and that's really all I care about. Each hat is from a particular hamlet, correct? If so, which is which? Is there a minimum point amount required in order for them to pop in the box? Anyone done enough Hamlet to give s rough % of the chance for a hat?

    Yeah:

    Aleport = FSH
    Golden Bazaar - MIN
    Hyrstmill = BOT

    I believe it's simply a (small) chance in the main chest at 50k+ points

    Hats are probably the rarest thing out of Hamlet, I swear to God. Leg pieces seem to be kind of annoying too, but maybe that's just because I'm cursed.

    In all my Hamlets, I've seen 0 hats and 2 pants. Every other slot I can think of multiples.

    Have never seen dol hats drop on 60k+ runs, but had a few drop on lower point runs my guess is they only drop 30k-49k anything above an they don't seem to pop in loot pool. It's hard to get people to screw up the run on purpose to test it or I would have.

    Back when we were farming seals we saw two BTN hats in the same night, I believe they are just like any other low percent drop in this game and are just really rare. All four of the hats that we got while doing hamlets were from 60k+ wins if that means anything.

    99% sure Hamlet hats can drop from 60k+ runs

    For our LS we've had 8 hats drop I think and only 1 leg drop. Those legs seem extremely rare.

    Weird, I've only seen the 100% drop hats, a few seals, and one of these fancy militia subligar. :3

    1/52 gb hat, 1/52 gb subligar
    1/65 hyrst hat, 0/65 hyrst pants

    All 60k runs with some 50ks mixed in, but still, fuck those items.

    The hamlet today seemed to hit 3mil easy enough. The top guy has like 1.5mil... getting that much sounds very expensive or is there some easy way to rank up lots of points?

    Don't have to bot.

    You can do things like farm raptors, turn the skin into militia highboots, and turn those in. Just stockpile for a while and turn them all in towards the end of a supply phase to steal one of those top 3 spots.

    It's a lot of work, but if you really want top 3 it's doable in a fair way.
