Welcome to the Third Eastern Sun Craftsman Tourney. The last two were major successes. The third installment of the tourney will be open to both players from Diablo Fans as well as the Phrozen Keep. Please register at either the Phrozen Keep or the Diablo Fans thread before beginning your character.
Tim Taylor: This is my house, that is my dishwasher, and I will rewire it if I want to. Jillian "Jill" Patterson Taylor: No! You will not rewire it and screw it up like you did the blender.
[Jill points at the blender] Jillian "Jill" Patterson Taylor: End of discussion.
[walks off] Tim Taylor: What is your problem with the blender? It's the only blender on the block that can puree a brick!
Wilson Wilson, Jr.: Sometimes the best thing you can do, Tim, is nothing. Tim Taylor: [grunting] Oh. Jill got mad at me because I didn't listen to her! Wilson Wilson, Jr.: No, I think she got mad at you because you blew up the damn dishwasher.
Rules: 1.) The tourney must be played with the latest official patch of Eastern Sun which is located here
2.) This tourney is single player only. No multiplay allowed.
3.) Must start a new character that is either softcore or hardcore. If your softcore character dies than it is considered rip for the tourney and it would have be noted as RIP in the table.
4.) No bringing in gear from the shared stash. You can place items in the shared stash but you can not use the items that are placed in the shared stash. You are free to use the personal stash pages to store your gear and items.
5.) No use of the escape and exit when in direct combat situation to cheat death.
6.) Once you start a new difficulty you can not go back to the previous difficulty.
7.) You can rerun areas as long as it is not an area in a previous difficulty.
8.) Before advancing to Nightmare you have to have 10 items crafted and be in use by either you or your hireling(merc).
9.) Before advancing to Hell all gear slots would have to be filled by a crafted item.
10.) 2-Handed weapons will count as two crafted items for the slots. If using a 2-handed sword in a sword/sword or sword/shield then it will count as a single slot.
11.) Only white, magic and rare items can be equipped on your character prior to equipping a crafted item. Once a crafted item is equipped that slot can only be used by crafts for the rest of the tourney.
12.) Jewels, Arrows, Bolts, Charms can be any quality since there is no crafting option for them.
13.) You are free to use runes and gems but you can not make any words out of them.
14.) You can not use the skill and stat reset option of PlugY or the Character Utility program.
15.) No use of hacks or third party programs.
Scoring: Level: Each character level you will gain 10 points WP&Q:Way points and Quests. You gain 10 points for every way point you activate and for each quest you complete. The town way points count for scoring. Crafts: You will get an equal amount of points based on the required level of the item. If the item has been d-stoned or gem-melded then only the base required level of the item will be counted and not the additional levels that was added.

This Tourney is now open to all players.
The tourney will go on until no one posts an update for 30 days or if there is a major patch that changes key features of the mod.
I'm seriously considering joining up in this... I'm skeptical about my abilities, and I'm wondering if I'd actually commit to this. I guess a few questions.
1. When will it begin?
2. How long does it run?
3. How do you know if someone is cheating, or it is based on honor?
4. Soo... you can't die? :/
5. Can we use Gemwords?
6. We have to start with what we're given when we start a new character, nothing else?
7. What would you suggest as a character? I'm thinking sorceress.
8. We can play as long as we are able to?

1.) It will start soon. I am just waiting for some feedback on the rules and to make sure that players here are comfortable with the rules.
2.) In the past we had tourneys that lasted up to 6 months in Eastern Sun. The last few tournaments are based on the level of participation. If no one makes an update on the table for 30 days we usually close the tourney and declare the winner.
3.) During the tourney when updates are made quite often players will post on the progress and sometimes they show a screenshot or they state they did something. Little infractions we may give a small penalty or something that. Other offenses like using a hack or other programs will get banned from participating in the tournament and other ones as well.
We base it on an Honour system and most players have followed it. We take it more as a fun challenge and quite often we give each other tips and advice and sometimes a little bit of trash talk to fire up the competitive spirit.
4.) In this tourney your character will have only one life. You are free to try again with another character. You can also retire your current character and try another one if you want
5.) Gemwords are not allowed in this tourney. In the past we had tournaments that were dedicated to the use of gemwords and runewords. All Craftsman Tournaments are based on crafting and I feel that it is best not to include those items.
6.) All tournaments start with only on what you have when you start and all the items that you will use will be based on what you find and get during the tourney. There is one tourney that you can share your items between your team of 7 characters. We have done the no muling for the tournaments due to making it fair to new players as well as Mac players who do not have PlugY.
7.) One of the key factors in many tournaments was taking the time to look over the rules and deciding on the class that would work the best into the tournament. Since this is a tournament on Crafting you will need to look at the recipes for crafting and decide on which character will work with it. This is also a farming tournament due to the likelihood of not getting too many good crafts right from the start.
Sorcs should do fine in this tournament. Just need to look over the recipes.
8.) You can play as long as you want to. At one point you are likely going to retire the character when everything is done.
--------------------
I also forget to add to the rule about not using the stat and skill reset feature.

Some fallout 4 mod makers have had their mods stolen and uploaded and downloaded on Bethesda's site for the Xbox One.
There are about three builds for the summoning necro.
Golemancer: Maxing all the golem skills to build a small army. Placing 1 point into revives, skeletons, and Vampires (mages)
Skelemancer: Typical LoD build. Likely going to have problems since it will be difficult to get auras when equipped. You will want Vamps to help with damage
Cindermancer: You want to place points into Hydra, Fire Golem, Vamps, Skeleton Mastery and Blood Golem. It is a nice build.
Good luck and remember to read over the rules

The first person can quote the fist post and delete everything but the code section and add your character information there. The next player will quote the last post that has the latest table in it and go from there.
If any problems I can add the information into it as well. I will likely put that information in the first post as well.

You mean can't, right?
Okay, that clears things up for me. Thanks. I will think about it. Hopefully more ES players from Dfans will join up. :/
I hope players from both communities will join up. The tournaments are fun and you learn a lot about the game and the mod.
remember to sign up here first.
Does everyone here know how to use the code feature for the table.
Also, i use 1.10, is that fine? 1.11 only adds stuff i would not use anyways.
Golemancer: Maxing all the golem skills to build a small army. Placing 1 point into revives, skeletons, and Vampires (mages)
