How do points work in the Elven Huntress Challenge?

In the 2026 Elven Huntress Challenge, each eligible check-in earns 1 individual point and each distinct eligible Quest earns 2. There are no fitness-trial or performance bonus points.

Post check-ins in the Elven Huntress check-in space in the community. Check-ins must be at least four hours apart, and no more than five count in a Monday through Sunday week, measured in Eastern time. Two check-ins on the same calendar day can both earn credit if they meet the spacing and scoring rules.

Check-ins within twelve hours of Monday midnight Eastern may use the neighboring week's remaining allowance. This doesn't extend the Challenge beyond December 13. Solo counts a credited check-in on the day earned; the Squad board places at most one check-in per member per scoring day, so extra check-ins need another allowed day to count.

There are eight weekly Quests, revealed one at a time. Submit your entry in the Elven Huntress Quest space with that Quest's topic. Each Quest can earn points once per member during the round; repeating the same Quest doesn't earn extra points. Follow the submission deadline in each Quest post for individual points and prize eligibility.

For random drawings weighted by Challenge points, each individual point is one entry. Ten points means ten entries. More points improve your odds without guaranteeing a prize. Individual points also count toward the grand-prize drawing. Blades awarded to top Quest performers are separate from random drawings.

The Squad score is displayed multiplied by ten, out of a possible 560. This display scale doesn't multiply your individual points or prize-drawing entries. See how Squad scores are calculated.

The round runs October 19 through December 13, 2026. There is no Iron Squad award or grace period after December 13. Each Quest's own individual submission deadline still applies.
