Weekly/Biweekly Community Challenge Idea

Hey Guys! Was thinking of an idea to sorta keep the community engaged while we wait for the next major update, a sort of challenge that we could compete for rewards!

Specifically I was thinking of:

  • doing a "bingo board" challenge; start a new character, complete a specified amount tasks (that will change each week) as fast as you can, showcase the different tasks on every friday night lets say, and give people the weekend to try to get their fastest times. At the end the winner(s) will be the ones with the fastest times

    • This allows ANYONE to do the challenge, since your using a new character, veteran players would have less of an advantage and gives newer players a chance (the only hiccup is that BANK STORAGE would need to be inhibited somehow)
    • The tasks themselves should be relatively short, just so people dont have to do 1 hr speedruns, such as gather 5 lavendula, take out the first dungeon, kill 5 slimes, etc. This also allows moderating the challenge easier, since we wouldn't have to verify LONG speedruns.
    • Also since the tasks change each week, keeps the challenge fresh
    • the reward for the winner(s) could be one of the harder to attain gliders, such as the original paramglider
  • A "meme" challenge, one example could be "The Scenery of Ramburg" where the best screenshot wins and it has to be Ramburg themed, since its subjective we could get either the community or the moderators on the discord server/subreddit to judge the "best" one.

    • again the reward can be another in game item of sorts

These challenges could be run synchronously too, gives people more options on what they WANT to do. The challenge itself also doesn't need any dev involvement, just community moderation, so setting it up would be a lot easier.

Wondering what yall think? Any other challenge ideas? Frequency of the challenge? Different rewards that could be given?

More bosses are to be defeated, but i really really really wanted to post my progress through it so far! (in a funny edited way)

Level 1 Boss Challenge (so far)

Hey all, just wanted to share a challenge I've been doing on Farever!

How many bosses can you beat at lvl 1?

The only rules for the challenge right now is that:

  1. the character you use to beat the boss MUST be level 1 at the time of defeat
  2. it should be run SOLO

This means any armor, weapons, buffs, enchants, are allowed (ex. Can farm for food buffs and enchants on other characters and then transferred), but the character must be lvl 1 when beating bosses.

I've seen other people do similar challenges (lvl 1 (no armor) fights, only using lvl 1 weapons, etc). But with this challenge, we are gonna try to get as strong as possible and taking it to the most extreme!

I have been getting a lot of help from people in the community and doing a fair amount of theory testing in order to get further and further into the challenge.

We have beat a couple bosses so far (Gatsbee, Reblochunk), but most notably we were able to beat CRABGANTUA! (Twitch clip above)

Next, we are trying to beat Lady Bee (which we almost did last stream!), right now trying to get some more help from the community (what character class would be best? What weapon to use? What stats should be boosted? etc) so we can beat more and more bosses!

Please let me know any tips and tricks that you think would be helpful! Will be posting more about my progress over on the official Farever discord.

I would also love to see more people hop in on this challenge! Trying to get faster times, more optimization and adding more rules! (gives us some more things to do while waiting for the next Major Update 😄)

Good Luck Traveler
