Caed Nua - Permanent Buffs

[Lightning]

It's nice how they updated this so that if your nice to the visitors they can give your keep permament buffs for a minor fee

Just got a permanent +1 prestige from giving the visitor 5k gold instead of letting him stay for 6 days

[Wasted_46]

yeah usually you gotta hand gold out to everybody for permanent +prestige and this is also the key for legendary adventures as you pretty much have to go over 60.

60+ prestige for legendary adventures? Dang, I'm hardly at like 28 right now ha

[Wasted_46]

there is a formula somewhere which I'm too lazy to look up.
TLDR it is *somewhat* possible to get them below 60 but for a realistic chance you'd need to go over 50 at least and into the 60s territory preferable.
and even then I've never gotten one yet.

Do legendary adventurers give like +5/+5 or higher or something?

Admittedly this is is how it is calculated:

The stronghold adventures are based on the stronghold's prestige value. The game generates two random numbers between 1 and 50, then adds them to your prestige.

The adventure you're assigned is then based on this number:

1-25 No Adventure
26-50 Minor Adventure
51-75 Average Adventure
76-100 Major Adventure
101-125 Grand Adventure
125+ Legendary Adventure

[Lightning]

dang 125? is that even possible

[smilehigh]

Yes, it is possible. Look again at the formula: you don't need to have 125 prestige, theoretically you only need to have 25+ prestige to be able to get Legendary adventures (of course the higher value the better).

It is actually harder (or rarer) to get minor adventures if you upgrade the stronghold too fast.

[Lightning]

oh so you can still get one even at 25 prestige but it will be an extremely low chance

[Wasted_46]

yeah and keep in mind that the adventure events are finite and related to the amount of tasks/quests you finish.
So all in all you have 200 or so chances at rolling for an adventure and a lot of them will be adventure completition events.

So I'd say you roll about 40 adventures if you are super meticulous about it so you have a maximum of 40 chances to get a legendary.

Sooo 2 numbers from 1-50 ? and not just 1 from 2-100 ? is there a point to that ?

dice rolls.
No dice ever starts with 2.

Probability curves. doing a single roll to 100 gets you equal probability of all the possible results, while doing two rolls weights it towards the middle with the extreme high/low significantly less likely.

Much like when you roll two six sided dice, you are far and away vastly more likely to get a total of 7 from them than you are 2 or 12.

This is why the idea that you probably want over 60 prestige holds up: if you've got over 60 prestige, than the most likely combinations (which would be in the 40-60 range) will work in your favor.

To be a bit more concrete, this is what it looks like:

two 1-50 rolls:
