Guide to Fellowship Adventures
See Also https://en.wiki.elvenar.com/index.php?title=Fellowship_Adventures, which has a lot of basic information about F.A.s. This Guide is an attempt to answer questions that the developers didn’t address, probably because they were “too obvious”. For experienced players and developers, perhaps, but not for all of us.
This is a general guide for new players, or players new to Fellowship Adventures. It is not comprehensive, and may contain errors. Please post any comments or corrections, so that I may incorporate them into the archive copy and repost periodically.
Archmages and others are free to use this Guide as they see fit. Please give credit where credit is due.
Introduction to Fellowship Adventures
Fellowship Adventures are based on cooperation, not competition or grandstanding. All members can participate and make worthwhile contributions. Badges require a certain number of goods; the level of the goods is irrelevant. Only Basic Goods and workshop products are used. The Adventure does require Enchantments and Vision Vapor from the Magic Academy, which the most junior members of a Fellowship may not have. Those members can distinguish themselves by building level one workshops and pumping out beverages for Dwarven Brewery badges. It takes 50 beverages to earn a badge, and literally hundreds of these badges are needed to complete the Adventure. Level one workshops take two minutes to make beverages, while level four or more require 5 minutes. So with ten level one workshops, you can pump out 20-30 badges an hour, depending on how attentive you are.
Fellowship Adventures are designed to result in Fellowship development in communication and coordination as members work together to ensure that the needed badges are being produced while reducing duplication of effort. While some badges can and should be stockpiled, not every badge needs to be. Members should post what they are making and when it will be done in Chat, if it is needed for the current Waypoint. Large stockpiles should also be posted. Communication is key to completing the Adventure and reaching the Bottomless Pit.
Fellowship Adventures may also result in player development, especially for newer players. Playing in an Adventure demonstrates the usefulness of participating in Tournaments and giving and receiving Neighborly Help. For those who have Magic Academies, it also demonstrates how to use them, including getting Spell Fragments from Disenchanting Enchantments. Of course, it also encourages communication among players.
This is a FELLOWSHIP Adventure
This is a Fellowship Adventure, based on cooperation, not competition or grandstanding. Members work together to complete each Waypoint. No member should complete a Waypoint, or even a badge requirement, by themself, unless necessary. Allow others a chance to contribute as well. On the other hand, no need to let a Waypoint languish for many hours when you can finish it off.
As mentioned above, all members can participate on an even footing. All members must be on the same path (Orange, Green, or Blue) to progress towards the next level. Which path to take may be discussed in Chat or Messages, but is ultimately up to the Archmage or their designated FA leader. The path should be announced in Chat and/or Messages; the Waypoints should be highlighted with a sight (aiming) icon under them. (Circle with inward points.)
Earning Badges to Open Waypoints
Earning most badges is easy. They can be acquired
A. during regular play,
B. in tournaments,
C. by exchanging neighborly help
D. by planning ahead Many badges require no planning or attention on the part of the player; these are earned naturally during regular game play.
Some badges can be earned during Tournaments, and others while exchanging Neighborly Help. All badges can be earned more easily by planning ahead. Only those that require advance planning are so marked in the following table. These include Workshop badges. Plan your Workshop usage carefully, according to what is needed in the next few Waypoints.
Many badges can be earned in several ways, which can be combined to earn these badges more quickly. Note that you cannot start earning a second badge of any type until you pick up the last badge you earned. This is especially important with Blacksmith Guild Badges, which require 5 Toolboxes. If you make 10 Toolboxes because you have 10 workshops, don’t pick them all up at once! You will only earn one Blacksmith Guild Badge, when you should have gotten two.

Playing the Fellowship Adventure
Slow Down and Communicate
When playing a Fellowship Adventure, SLOW DOWN! Since you can earn only one badge of a type at a time, it’s important to pick up production slowly, especially Workshops (if you were working on Blacksmith Toolboxes), Coins, and Units.
Communicate with your fellows. Post when you are working on time-consuming badges, when they will come out, and how many. Find out which path you are to take, and do so. The Archmage’s decision is the one that counts.
Look ahead to see what badges will be needed, and work on those. If you have several time-consuming badges, let others know so that the fellowship can determine who needs to provide what when. (Mostly be volunteering, of course.)
Preparing for a Fellowship Adventure
Keep your Magic Academy and Barracks upgraded as far as possible. Speed of production is important in Fellowship Adventures.
Have at least five manufactories for your level one boosted goods. Two are needed for two-day goods for Elegant Statues, and three for one-day goods for Diamond Necklaces. More, of course, is better.
Produce Combining Catalysts in your Magic Academy when not specifically working on other Enchantments. You will want a large stockpile for Fellowship Adventures. You will also want a stockpile of Spell Fragments, either from Spire Encounters or Disenchanting Enchantments, Instants, and/or Summonings.
When you know an Adventure is coming soon, build Workshops and Manufactories if possible. Ten level one Workshops if possible, at least enough to bring you up to (a multiple of) 10 workshops. Remember, level one workshops produce beverages over twice as fast, and level doesn’t affect badges.
Two days before the Adventure begins, start two two-day Basic Goods for your first Elegant Statute.
One day before the Adventure begins, start three one-day Basic Goods for your first Diamond Necklace.
During the Adventure, start Elegant Statues and Diamond Necklaces as soon as you pick up the last one.
Fellowship Adventures are fun and rewarding. If you complete all three levels, you may get to the Bottomless Pit, a slog-fest which allows you to gain more FA points and up your final standing in the Adventure. Have fun, but remember: It’s only a game.
*Depending on your play style. If you do not normally create Enchantments and items in the Magic Academy, you will need to plan ahead.
