I would like to see some people try and explain how they get their answer. There are so many red herrings in this riddle: defence boosts vary between 20% 30% to 45% and 55%. The hero gear mentioned at the end is lv 50 which a lv 48 hero can't wear. And you cant add runes to low level gear. The town is presumably lv 27 but could just as easily be higher and just another red herring. And it says at the beginning the scouts have no extra knowledge??
Though I like to read players answers and their justifications, for various reasons ,I dont really hold with the discussion angle of this, on the forum.
My perception is this.
Its a riddle that everyone is supposed to be able to solve themself, post the correct answer, and be happy, especially if lucky enough to be one of the winners.
Its not meant to be straight forward, there are supposed to be red herrings or pitfalls.
Its not supposed to be,all that matters is the smell of the spoils,the free resources. to be had, 1,000,000 Gold,and just think how I can spend it all.
Which it seems to have become..
