2022 Spring RFL Sign-Up and Running Thread: Round 1 (Moo Moo Farm)

[maxicek]

If you have 5+ leftovers on every pack sooner or later one of those cows WILL be the one that would have dropped a rune.

My best finds from Cows, Zod and Cham, both came from small packs of about 5-6 cows.
Just over 10 hours in, I'm not sure if I will finish 20h. Two qualifiers, both from the same run.

New plans got into picture so now I won't finish the set. My motivation is non-existent overall. Cows can drop me Zod and Cham at the same screen and I would probably have no reaction, or something like "oh orange letters on the screen, how nice". That's what happens when you are 5 Zods deep into set!

I generally stop running once I have 5x Cham+ but, if you felt the need to round out your top 5 with all Zods, I guess I'll have to settle for 2nd place.

 

[Excalibur]

Reached 14,5 hours and no new qualifiers appeared. I am quite amazed that after so many runs even mediocre runes like Fal Ko Lem don't seem to drop that often.

 

[Nano]

Finished 20 hours of P5 Necro. I'll start a new set with Necro but at P7, just to quantify the difference. Not sure how far I can get with this set..

 

[PhineasB]

This week I only have myself to blame as I have become engrossed in playing Star Control 2: The Ur-Quan Masters.

Such a great game. Hope you’re having as much fun as I’ve had with it.

Final stretch everyone! Good luck to those finishing up and please don’t forget to send results when you are finished running.

I’ll post the round 2 sign up thread tomorrow or Friday.

 

[art_vandelay]

@PhineasB Just finished my second set but I accidentally played 1 minute and 12 seconds too long. No qualifier during that time, so I guess I should just ignore it? A third set seems unlikely but who knows

 

[Excalibur]

Few more random stuff.

 

[Gripphon]

@D2DC
Sounds reasonable!

I compared p3 and p5 again for cows. p5 is 1.24x better in drops than p3

130 seconds p5 vs 115 seconds p3, BUT on p3 I bet I kill at least 30 cows more since I stop where I usually don't at p5

Assuming 380 cows killed on p5 and 410 on p3
p5: ~175 cows per minute
p3: ~173 cows per minute

Assuming 420 cows p5 and 450 on p3, higher end
p5: ~194 cows per minute
p3: ~189 cows per minute

Those are some speculations, but I do know I kill more cows on p3, question is how much more. I wouldn't be surprised if somehow p3 does come ahead even mathematically, not only being considerably easier to play overall, less cluttering, no danger of getting killed...

 

[Excalibur]

The run times I read from everyone are very impressive. I am running on P7 and I can't drop it below 4 minutes but I really waste some time with all the loot and killing nearly all the Cows.

 

[Gripphon]

Ran for approximately 10 hours. Reported a result not to run anymore and be done with it. Found total of 11 qualifiers and, to be honest, 4 Zods are enough

Ah ah ah nice trolling!

Spoiler

He found only three Zods

 

[Excalibur]

17 hours and within the last 7 hours nothing worthy dropped.
Come on, I really need just one more good qualifier to seal my victory.

 

[Gripphon]

Ups, busted!

Where are all the trolls in this thread?! Too much honesty, too little trolling.

Oh well given my current situation I'd better not troll, my drops have been efficient enough to burn @Excalibur's hopes down, but I somehow don't want to, so... I let you be the bad guy, you do the wording, I take the points

 

[Excalibur]

2,5 hours left for me and that final superb qualifier will drop!

 

[Gripphon]

I didn't find qualifier for hour and a half at certain point of my set. Massive lack of luck.
Lack of luck.
It does roll off the tongue, isn't it!

 

[D2DC]

Sweet! And what are the odds of getting this on Hell cows?

[nulio]

I'm getting pissed at these cows!
Couldn't they give more then one Zod?
I get it, 4x Cham and 1x Zod gives me more points... but I can't cube them in 1.07...

 

[D2DC]

Glad I wasn't doing 1.07 cows..
