    Will let you know how it goes and will provide reports.

    I'm on server 128, I've hit about 50 lvl 10 npcs in the past few days, without a single item drop from any of them. (or medal)

    I believe 128 classifies as a new server.

    I look forward to putting this item farming theory to the test.

    Hey, Naems, see you on the battlefield. Itemfarming seems to work to a degree in 128. I've certainly bled enough items with clearing waves! Haven't had luck applying multiplicity yet though. I've tried being as inefficient as possible with clearing waves to bleed as many items as possible to pick up. However, my data set here is EXTREMELY limited. Looking forward to putting this to better use now that my industrial base is much better.

    As for NPC's dropping items, I've noticed a significantly higher drop rate across the board on 128 compared to 90, the only other server I have experience on. I've received several items from 10's.

    As for the Jaq attack, i tried it once. I bombed it bigtime. took out everything but 5k at's at the cost of 98k cav, 1 archer, 1 ballista, 1 catapult and i threw in 1 ram for ****s and giggles hoping to get an extra turn. Didn't save the battle report, but fight lasted 16 rounds. My attack hero was 283 or so compared to a level 80ish defending hero. Killed 80k warriors, 20k workers, 150k archers, few hundred ballista, and 7kish AT's, leaving 5k At's (and I don't remember if the transports lived or not). I'd expected better results, but I know for fact that the cav rammed into the warrior layer first (tested small cav attacks first). i'm guessing my inability to reduce the warrior layer screwed me big time there. 10 walls, I had him out teched, but not significantly. Needless to say, that gave me a newfound respect for the warrior layer

    Hmm, maybe im just unlucky hitting level 10 npcs. I conquered my first one today though, first try xD

    And, although Jaq might have been the first person to come up with the idea, i believe that it has been expanded upon and bettered with phract smacks.

    AT's seem to really take out alot of cavs, and if you have a large portion of phracts I think you have a higher chance of winning.

    In your attack, did he have a pult on defense? or is your HBR still 9? I think these would be the reasons that your cavs hit his warrior layer.

    Whats your in-game name?? xD

    Lol. Don't worry man, I already know why the attack didn't work. And Phract smacks require that the attacker has phracts to smack with. He had no catapults on defense either.

    Do you loose items when someone attacks you and receives an item?
