One Time Points: Awarded when completing new dungeon stages, campaign clears, account upgrades (see more below)
Monthly Leaderboard Points: Awarded at the end of Month 1, Month 2 and the End of Season Leaderboards for placements in key Dungeons.

Each dungeon grants points cumulatively per stage completion. Hard Mode stages and Iron Twins fortress award double points per stage completion. Affinity and Arcane Potion Keeps award half points per stage completion. For example:

How will the tracking work?

To record your point progress for this challenge, you will need to run the HellHades Extractor on a Windows or MacOS device through Plarium Play. Currently we cannot track any points progress on mobile devices.

The extractor listens to actions you complete in game and records this as achievements unique to your Raid account. These achievements are then used in trackers to record your performance. For example, when you achieve a new stage of Dragon completion (successful battle), a new achievement will be recorded with the team details and time taken.

We’ve written a guide on how to create a new account and register for the event here.

Can I use my premium optimiser account?

Yes, the challenge will track the UM number of the Raid Account that signs up for the tournament. This means you can switch between your main account and your free to play account in the optimiser without impacting your free to play challenge progress.

IMPORTANT: Remember that the extractor needs to be active when you complete objectives on your free to play account to accurately track your progress.

Can I play without using the optimiser?

The optimiser is required to log any achievements towards the trackers. If you just want to play along anyway then you can join on mobile. We have a discord section dedicated to the Free to Play challenge where you can chat along with the community on your progress and post your successes.

If you do want to track your progress, you can play without the extractor if you are not logging any new achievements (for example running campaign to farm food etc). Just remember to have the extractor open when you want to record a new achievement.

Are Referrals on your Free to Play account allowed?

No Referral rewards and champions are not allowed this Free 2 Play challenge

Will there be F2P clans?

Challengers will be placed in Free 2 Play Clans which may have space for some other players but we will not be co-ordinating community clans due to the complexity and workload. It is a full time task managing a clan cluster which creators do not have time to do.

However, we have a section in Discord for the Free 2 Play challenge where you can find a F2P clan amongst our community.

Can I sign up still after the 12th January?

Yes! If you miss the launch date, you can still create a new account and sign up for the free to play challenge. Even though you may be behind some of the launch day accounts, it is still a fun experience to get involved and discuss with the community.

I've signed up but I can't see my rank in the trackers?

If you have signed up but you’re not receiving a rank for your account, this means your account has been disqualified for breaching the rules. Either the account was created early, or you have not adhered to the Free to Play lifestyle!

What promocodes can i use?

We’ve tested and updated our promocodes page to include all the current known active promocodes in the game. You are allowed to use any EPIC champion new account promocode but not SUNWUKONG.
