Banner Lord Dragon Tournament - EVERYONE DO THIS!!!!11!!!

Putting on my best breathless content creator impression, I just want to say that the current tournament is insane value. 20 essence for 1800 tournament points.

Even if you sell all the gear, this is a great event. If you're early/mid game, just run Dragon 11 with Ronda and 4 banner lord food. 

This gives 14k XP per run, which is valued at about 3.5 energy. That means you're paying 8.5 energy per run and get 9.6 tournament points on average, so the total cost is ~1600 energy, or 80 per essence, which is comparable to the drop rate on Iron twins 11 (ca 75 energy per essence). IT gives a bunch of soulstones in addition (worth much less than essences for a f2p account), while this tournament gives a bunch of silver.

On top of that, there's a path event going on so there's a bit of double dipping. I'm not going to do a full, detailed breakdown, but this is insanely good value. Normal tournaments have occasionally had 5 essence at the 2750 mark IIRC.

On my main account I have staltus, so will see about a team that beats stage 2h or something.

These tournaments are always underrated. People don't bother taking 10 minutes to estimate the value. For me, that's the entire reason for playing raid!

Even if they take the 10 minutes, they are unable to correctly estimate the value :)

I just do all the math in my head, no fancy spreadsheet... you get a quick Y/N answer is all :) I'm the opposite of a 30 minute saph video :)

Thank you for the analysis. I have always looked over these in the past. Hard to spend time on this with the 3X  going on right now.

20 essences for 1800 is wild. I really want to be doing this 3x Savage and may even try to get FK10 going today but...this is very tempting. 😭

Now, don't be trash talking Saph. He might perhaps show a bit too much attention to detail, but his heart's in the right place. Something that's hard to find nowadays with all the instashorts on tikbook.

Ok, the math looks way off. Doing D11 seem to be netting around 0.75 points per  energy spent for me. So it looks like around 2400 total enemy cost t. The plus is that competition is so weak I'll get a bunch of epic relentless 6*s

D20 is easy enough, for me at least. Running Sigmund + Hellmut + Stag + Raglin + Warcaster. Slow, but doesn't seem to have any chance of failing.

I need an under 1 minute Trips video for every event, thanks. I don't have time for the 1 hour videos on 18:5 CB teams.

We dont need @Trips videos.  We just need the Yes or No.  Then we can set RSL on auto and go back to sleep.

I baked in a 3.5 energy discount for the xp you get along the way.

The 1950s were a great and simple time.  :)
