The Prizes: Many people like to wait a few days before deciding which prizes to chose. This allows for the prices to settle and see which prize is the most worth getting. The prize that should be purchased is the one that has the best plot points to neopoint ratio. For example, is Item A is 50 plot points and is worth 10,000 neopoints, and Item B is 100 plot points and is worth 15,000 neopoints, then the better buy would be the Item A as you can get 2 of them worth a total of 20k, as opposed to getting one of item B which is only worth 15k. Here is a “complete” list of all the prizes and their respective ratios (noting that prices are approximate and can fluctuate):

To infinite and beyond:
I would first off like to thank Jellyneo for being gracious hosts and letting me do my own thing. If you would like to help Jellyneo out with their hosting bills, you can donate here.
Over the next few days/weeks/months the Altador Cup Blog will be going through a transition where we will be transferring to AltadorCup.net. However, it is my intention that it will be expanded into more than just a blog reporting the events of the Altador Cup, but rather an Altador Cup portal containing everything Altador Cup related (Altador Cup history, player information, etc, etc). Of course I will also be doing a daily update recapping the events of the day during the Altador Cup. However, I intend on expanding this portion where there will be multiple reporters… not just me. Every “reporter” will have their own page (possibly a sub-domain) to give even more Altador Cup coverage. “Reporters” would be under no obligation to update every day, but would rather have the opportunity to share their thoughts on Altador Events whenever they please. If you are interested in become an Altador Cup Reporter for the Altador Cup IV, shoot me an e-mail. Of course you don’t have to e-mail right away as the Altador Cup IV is quite a ways a way. Furthermore, if anybody is a talented artist/code, please shoot me an e-mail as you may be able to assist me with setting up the site.
Stay tuned.
