Detailed Play Instructions for IBT#4

Play Instructions · 

• Enrol – post a reply in the enrolment post with your character name, picture and class: Warrior, Wizard or Archer
• Play – as each battle post (Stages) 1 through to 6  is posted, read the rules on each post and make your attack  for a  chance to win. You will win a equal share of the battle post payout if you defeat the foe/enemy in your first attack. There will be a campaign map to travel and players will  be progressing until you reach the boss round. 

• Attack - to win you must hit for equivalent or more then the foe's hit points. Each character class must stick to your own unique attack type, either a basic or mighty attack for your class. A full list of Bot attack commands, per class are available here

• Gobbo! - should you mess up a basic attack, the bot may initiate a Gobbo challenge; if this happens you must do a Mighty attack against Gobbo instead of defeating the Stage Foe. If you win, you may run the pickpocket command and will win an item. Note: this does not count as the first attempt at beating this stages foe/enemy, so on your next attack you may still be eligible to win Steem. To win you simply need to do an attack equivalent of Gobbo's hit or above.If you do pickpocket Gobbo you may also pickpocket the foe (it's the only way to gain more then one item in a Stage without purchasing from the item shop with trophy's - see more about item shops below).
• Collect Items – during each battle post you may attempt to pick the pocket of the foe only once. If you receive an item, it's effect remains active until you complete the Stage you received it.
• Revive and more Items (optional) – you start each round with 3 life points.  You must have at least 1 life point to continue to play and battle.  You should try to self manage your attacks and life points. Should you use all 3 life points and wish to win the battle post (just for fun), simply visit the item post shop and purchase another life point. Note: You do not need to complete a battle post to continue and play in the next stage. There are other items available for purchase, you can play a purchased item once in any stage of your choosing (then the item is consumed at the end of the Stage).
• Boss Round - The boss round in IBT competitions, is different each time.-During this IBT#4 boss round, you will need to turn on each other, you may attack any other player no more then once per player (only during the boss round), but only once! by posting a reply "I wish to attack @player" then immediately reply again to this reply,  with the attack bot command for your character class. They must see your challenge, accept and counter attack to be a valid battle, who ever has the highest score wins. Whom ever has the largest number of draws and wins by the end of the boss round will be crowned champion(s) and win the grand prize. Items and environmental effects will not be used in the boss round (the only exception is if you win an item from a Gobbo challenge - this item counts and may stack)...this should make it interesting :)

Tournament Shop post 

• The ITEM SHOP (post) will open soon. For this  tournament it's likely there will be very few items in stock for players  to purchase, but check back often. When/if items are available they can  be purchased using the in game currency – trophy tokens.   This is not a pay to win game. 
• The items will only  offer a small bonus over other players. It is possible to win trophy  tokens through out the competition, from other competitions or they can  be purchased directly from @trophy-token, for a minimal Steem shipping fee – this is between you and trophy-token :) 

I invite you to post questions about the tournament here anytime :)

I will check back often and try to respond.  IBT#4 is still experimental so some elements may not work and need  tweaking. If this upsets you, I suggest you do not participate as I (or @doughtaker our field judge) will be  needing to make some decisions at times to ensure the smooth running of  the tournament, and this may not be acceptable to all players.
