    When I was new to the game, I was really under the impression that it was impossible to get medals without paying. This was due to the quest description (that rose medals were from from lvl 1-3 valleys, etc) which is incredibly misleading.

    Now, im 4 months in. Ive farmed up to furstin without TOO much problem. I currently have 50+ all medals (except for nation/justice which dont drop from level 10 valleys much). I expect that I will quit before I ever reach prinz, which is a dismay since Im frequently capturing good heroes (got a lvl 302 the other day).

    Basically, my view is you only need invest a large amount of money into the game if you want to be able to persaude heroes. However if you do spend money, it will make your evony life much easier.

    *I have spent 65$ or something on the game, so Im not completely free. However ALL of that money has gone towards excaliburs, and the occasional adv teleport.

    *Make justice/nation medals drop occasionally from level 10 npcs!!!! Level 10 npcs give you alot more losses than hitting level 10 valleys, and justice/nation medals are meant to be the hardest to get. Please, they are truly ridiculous to get.

    The issue is that every server or batch of servers (if they opened close together) have different rules for drops and medals.
    I played on 128 and NO medals droped from npcs or from most valleys except lv.9 and 10 (chances rose the higher the valley was). Getting far was VERY VERY hard, roses were horrible to get. I eventually spent a little coin (which I have no problem with) and won a medal box and got to baron and further all the way to Duke.
    The descriptions given in the quests about the medals are to be ignored as they do not take into account the server tweaks, which can completely change the way to get medals.

    Yeah there is something fishy going on with the medals and I dont know what it is.

    I waited forever for rose medals until finally when I got them I went all the way to viscount in one day. Could have gone higher if I had been willing to burn a mich script. Once I didn't need them anymore a couple dropped from higher level valleys. Before that in MONTHS I had never seen a single rose medal from a higher level valley. I even got a rose from a NPC farming run and that REALLY surprised me! I thought that was impossible.

    I think somehow the medal drops are affected by rank or title. Ironically it seems they are geared to drop only when you don't need them! hahahahaha

    Either that or a dark cloud follows me around!

    PS I have some nation and justice medals I have gotten to drop and I am nowhere near needing them. I hope I have enough by the time I do need them or I am screwed just like you!

    Haha, yea I have a few too. Around 15 justice and 8 nation or something. Thats after 3 months of hard medal farming (at least 50 level 10 valley hits a day).

    You need 30 justice and 15 nation medals to reach prinz.

    I haven't payed anything to play this game, and I have farmed all my medals to get to general/duke, that being said I'd love to see more items drop, like war insigna, and mike scripes, but so far I'v been playing this game for months and I haven't payed a cent for it, think it's a pretty good deal, and I really don't think anyone should be QQing about not being able to keep up with ppl that do spend money on the game, b/c these ppl are infact making the game free for yourself.

    I am not, in any way, complaining about people who pay having an advantage. Nor do I expect to keep up with someone dumping a fortune into the game. My very valid complaint is that there are no medal drops. Period. If you've farmed enough to make it that far, clearly I'm on the wrong server.

    they are just extremely rare on pretty much every newer server

    There are medal drops.

    Your complaint may still be valid of course... what server are you playing on?

    Just to clarify is this medal drop problem age1 or 2? I had the same problem ( not to the same degree from what i see) back about a year ago when i was farming for medals. but now as a prinz for a long time I get nation and justice drops almost every hit.

    It is a problem with the newer age 1 servers, NPC's do not drop any medals and the drop rate from valleys is ridiculously low. With the high cost of senior medal boxes and the amounts needed to make prinz or to persuade a hero it is a ridiculous amount of money to spend.

    Even if the drop rate was 1/4 of what is was on my old server(before a SS merger) it would be fine.

    It is just silly now, how can you play a war game if all your time and troops are spent farming valleys for medals that never drop.
