2 Reward Points from Hillock

Right now every race gives preference to shadows as killing Hillock first gives reward points. Either make every class have a chance at doing it first or remove this reward, IMHO.

Or just make everyone be forced to roll a shadow first and kill hillock so its fair game and then move on to the rest of the race and making whatever char you like, as basically that's how it stands now for anyone wanting points.

Just my .02. Actually surprised this race reward made it into OB to be honest.

The hillock reward is pure rng whether its class based or not- better to just remove it. Brutus, merveil, oversoul and piety would all make good replacement quests.

Or Golden Hand.


It's not Random Number Generation.

You can plan it to get it many times.

First do test runs with a shadow and Type /debug, check the Debugtextfile you receive, Write down the Tilenumbers.

Then you create a shadow over and over till you have the best tileset.

The rest belongs to the amount of critical strikes you get.

Usually if you got no luck you are at 20% HP if the first one killed Hillock.

Assuming every shadow resets to the shortest beach, and executes perfectly (which isnt very hard considering there are so few actions involved), it comes down to hits/crits as you already mentioned.

Thats pure RNG.

Golden hand would be a good reward quest too, no other reason to go there in a race.

Well there is a broken hit detections/interuption involved.
You also have to consider most players don't know how to exploit it.
And those who know usually win the Hillock reward.

Fetid Pool might be exploited the same way, since I won it once in OB and didn't have many champs/rares there.

On other races it ended up having Regen Rhoas/ Additional Life/Aura rhaos etc. The mapseed should provide enough informations how many mobs you actually have to kill but that requires far more testing than Hillock.


For example glacial hammer misses many times or gets interrupted.

It's not so obvious with double strike.

The biggest trick there is to damage hillock once he changes his form because that results in many misses.

But I still think that Hillock area should drop only white items id/tps and Hillock himself the skill gem.

But this has been adressed numerous times already.
