Areas with out a map - all challenge missions save Dragon Throat have a map, and count for cartographer
Are you sure about the 8k faction for winning daily, or is it like altrumm and zos shivros where the 8k faction is for beating the all time high score?

:::::I'm willing to perma for anyone that needs it. I'm honestly not sure how else one is supposed to do this, there are just way too many mobs. Maybe you could do it with lolminions back in the day, but the change to Consume Soul says gg to that. Wardens bunch up and are susceptible to AoE and stuff, and you only need two lanes of refugees to break 100. But even with four humans in two lanes - a tank, a healer, two nukers - you'd get overwhelmed I think. And if you don't have that many people you're out of luck. Even with one perma, it's not a guaranteed win... eventually you have so many Wardens bunched on the perma that the refugees get bodyblocked and then they die. So once in a while you need the other team to come and nuke them. But since you can't "assign heroes to other human's control" it's risky. You're leaving some AI to defend themselves in the right lane while four nukers come defenseless to help you. If you time it wrong, someone will die, one way or another. And it's very hard to grab people for rez here because there are so many mobs. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] ([[User_talk:Entropy|T]]/[[Special:Contributions/Entropy|C]]) 20:07, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Maybe it should be noted that when you reach 100 points you can store more kurzick faction. Seems pretty relevant to me.[[Special:Contributions/82.72.233.33|82.72.233.33]] 15:12, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
Have a look at altrumm ruins, i believe teh same scoring sysstem is used for all challenge missions. It would also explain why it seems to be such wierd values per point.[[User:86.129.209.221|86.129.209.221]] 06:41, 28 August 2006 (CDT)

I can't put my finger on the right formula but it seems that the Best 90 days high score has an effect on the reward ratio. Having an high best score will reduce the ratio.
