    Default My theory on The Infamous Medal Drop

    Okay everyone has these wacky theories on the drop rate, but I think I have the answer(don't flame). I am still gathering proof, but I think the drop rate is a formula with one added variable: troops killed.

    That's right, I think the more troops get killed in battle, the better chance you have of getting a medal. Now why do I think this? Well a couple clues.
    1. In the quest description, it says and I quote "The higher level the valley is, the better chance you have of getting a medal." Since higher valleys have more troops, more troops would be killed when you attack. This would also explain why you almost always get a medal when attacking with your Spearhead wave when trying to conquer a level 10 NPC.

    Also would explain why so many people are in favor of sending warriors to die, saying that increases the drop rate.

    2. Utilizing this information to your advantage: Create a very large scout army( I mean HUGE), and send them out in waves on the highest valley that could contain that particular medal. Since scouts have a low defense, a lot of them will die, but you will win by sheer numbers. This will also be a very fast way to get medals because scouts are extremely fast.

    Good luck medal farming with my new strategy I hope it helps.

    It all seems to make sense. I believe that's why we have such a hard time getting Rose Medals. The loses aren't enough.

    Which is why I believe scout farming could work(now Evony will make it so you can't attack with scouts)

    Scout are much faster, and you would receive more loses.

    It worked!
    Took only 4 try on lvl 2-3 valley.

    I got me a lion medal though not a rose which I needed.

    You didn't mention what servers you're talking about :P.

    Also, from what I've found on 76, I can probably tell you that troops killed have nothing to do with medals. I'm currently farming a lvl 10 flat 1mile away from one of my citys conquering and abandoning it. So far, 3 medals in 2h today.

    That might seem not so much in 2h. But, it's a 12min round trip if i send ballistas to minimize losses depending what's in the valley .

    If there's ONLY warriors/pikes/swords or a combination of them, I just send archers + 1 scout.

    If there's cavalry + archers in the valley, i send ballistas too + layer.

    I'm using my attack hero whom is lvl 83 with 153 attack at the time of this post.

    So far, this is the best way I've found to farm medals on my server. Attacking lvl 1-2-3-4-5-6 doesn't really give anything. I did thousands of attacks on lvl 1-2-3-4-5-6 and i probably gained like 2 medals. This is with all troops in valleys spawned. Tried sending in scouts too. That failed as well. Burned a lot of scouts and gained 0 medals.

    I also noticed that any medals drop from any level valley.

    If you're on a new server, forget about all the guides you read until now and just hit lvl 9-10 valleys with whatever troops you want to minimize losses. The type of the medal you will get is random regardless of the valley level. This is working out just fine for me .

    Spam a level 4 valley with Scouts. Then post your battle report. If I get enough confirmed reports, then I'll add this to my guide.
