~INTRODUCTION~

Earning medals can be frustrating at times and make most almost want to quit the game but there are many different things that can be done to find the
medals you want for promotion. So I have done test and have gathered information and have put it all into a guide for you to use so that you have a better chance of getting that medal!

I have never played on a older server before, that is why I have the hods guide for older servers posted. So a lot of this stuff only applies to newer servers, especially the nerf servers(WN1 here).

Newer Server Medal Guide

Here is a quick guide for earning medals on newer servers:


1) Cross - Level 1-4 Valleys
2) Rose - Level 1-4 Valleys
3) Lion - Level 1-7 | Level 1-3 NPCs
4) Honor - Level 1-4 NPCs
5) Courage - Level 1-5 NPCs
6) Freedom - Level 4-5 NPCs
7) Wisdom - Level 5+ NPCs
8) Justice/Nation - Level 10 NPCs

Sending The Right Amount
here is a chart on the least amount of troops needed, but you can send as many as you want with the archers and warriors.


This chart is not combined troop types.

(Warning: amounts of troops needed may vary depending on your research levels but for the most
part get the highest archery level you can and this will work best!!! You will also lose all your warriors when attacking the level 9 and10 NPC!)


Older Server Medal Guide

HODS(hods realm is an approved site.) guide for earning medals on older servers: (there is more info on this in
the Hods guide it self.)

(click image above)

when i say older servers that's like server1 to something like server 50,
not the world servers or the Nerf servers.



Quick Notes On Earning Medals:
(Applies to all servers)

• Always remember: The more rounds the better, because the more rounds increases the drop rate.
  That's why you get more medals from NPCs then valleys.
  
• You dont find medals in certain types of valleys any more, Just by the valley level.
  
• When attacking valleys you do not have to conquer it.
  
• The whole thing about the higher intelligence hero isn't true no matter who tells you it is, but there is
  a possibility that sending a hero with lower attack does increase the chances of you getting that medal.
• Always remember to let valleys/NPCs restore their troops. (Any where from 50min to an hour.)
  Letting the troops regenerate increases the chances of getting a medal, but you do not have to do that
  if you dont want to.
  

Facts About Medals:

Here is some facts and different tips about medals.
(The medals are listed from least to most desirable medals.)


Cross Medals:
They are real easy to find, just attack every low level valley you see!!!


Rose Medals:
For most it seems to be the hardest to find. I just try my best by sending archers
or warriors at level 3 and 4 valleys.


Lion Medals:
Moderately hard to find, not to bad. Just send a bunch of ballistas at low level NPC's...


Honor Medals:
Not to hard to find... Ive have found them in high level valleys before too.


Courage Medal:
Just send a little bit less ballistas than you would send to get a
wisdom medal to a lower level NPC.


Wisdom Medals:
They can be found easily from sending 500 ballista at a bunch of
different lvl 5 NPCs. (Same as the freedom medals)


Freedom Medals:
They can be found easily from sending 500 ballista at a bunch of
different lvl 5 NPCs. (Get them all the time when NPC farming.)


Justice Medal:
You get them usually from waves of spear heads waves against level 10 NPCs


Nation Medals:
You get them usually on the smaller second spearhead waves and warrior raid waves.

Drop Rates:

From what i have heard it is that the medal drop rate is at 1%-2% per medal type
on newer servers and a 5%-8% medal drop rate per medal type on older servers.
I have also noticed decent medal drops on the nerf servers, guessing a 2%-%5
drop rate per medal type. In the end while all of this stuff helps you get the medal you
want, but because the drop rates are so low there is no absolute chance you will get
a medal every time.

Rounds increase drop rate

I am still working on this, but apparently the more rounds the better and here is the result of my attacks by rainbowing a valley to get more rounds.

FAQ

Your Question answered on whats true and false!

1) Your hero should have a high INT score-Myth(read below to continue)

2) Your hero should have a low ATK score-Still being tested, but seems to help, because all these people who tested medal drop rates with high level intelligence that same hero had low attack and I have seen many claims that the intelligence theory is true when it was that they had a low attack hero.

3) Send the least troops possible-Myth, doesnt matter

4) Attack higher level valleys/npcs-Myth, cause you find different medals in different level valleys/NPCs.

5) Make sure it has fully regenerated its troops-according to hods this increases your chances and so far hods hasn't lied so im sticking with it.(but you dont have to do it.)

6) Take heavy losses of your own troops-Myth, as long as you win the battle it doesn't matter.

7) Send a burst of several attacks in rapid succession on the same place-Myth, no longer aloud to spam valleys for medals.

8) Send your attacks just after each hour (i.e. attack at 1pm not 1:30pm)-Myth

9) Conquer instead of plundering-Myth, as long as you win your ok

-uhhh... well I made it and collected the data. lol



Disclaimer: while all of this is accurate you will not get a medal all the time, so dont blame me blame the medal drop rates.
