Overview

The Test of Seven Phoenix will challenge your skills as a contractor, not a laborer. When the Hour of the Phoenix arrives, you'll be given a number of glorious Phoenix statues that you must ensure get built at specific Phoenix parks throughout Egypt. Complete all seven within a (game) hour for maximum score. If you waypoint travel during an Hour, you will be disqualified from that hour. No Egyptian may build more than a single statue in a given hour, and no Egyptian who has traveled during the hour may build. (UArch test signup message)

The Test of Seven Phoenix is about organizing and supplying a team to build for you within a short period of time.

• When the Hour of the Phoenix arrives, check a School of Architecture to receive a list of seven Phoenix Stadiums around Egypt, and the type of Phoenix statue that must be built at each.
• The list of parks will be the same for each architect during that hour, but the statue type will be random (maybe, was all the same in T1).
• The Hour of the Phoenix lasts for one hour of TeppyTime (3 Egypt-hours or just over 1 RL hour).

No Egyptian may build more than a single statue in a given hour. If you want points for more than one statue, you'll have to get other people to build each additional statue and give them to you (similar to the Test of Towers).

However, if you use waypoint, chariot or expedition travel at any time during an Hour of the Phoenix, you are disqualified. You will no longer be able to build a statue during that Hour (for yourself or anyone else), any statue you have already built will be worth zero points (this point needs confirmation), and you will receive zero points for statues built for you. Because of this, you will probably need to be at a School to receive your list before the Hour starts.

NOTE: Spousewarp is allowed during the hour, having been dev called and checked.

An architect can build a statue for him/herself, should they be lucky enough to be near the appropriate Phoenix park with the necessary supplies, but clearly this won't happen often and is not worth much alone.

At the end of a Hour of the Phoenix, all Phoenix built burn to nothing (Phoenix are fleeting).

Strategy

This Test is best passed by a team.

• Collect resources for at least 1 set of all 7 phoenix.
• Organize a group of people to take positions around Egypt before the hour begins.
• Station yourself at a SArch just before the hour begins.
• When the hour begins, check the list and locate the stadiums within 1 hour's run of your team.
• Designate some as builders and some as materials delivery once you know who is close enough to build.
• If your builders don't have enough natural carry to take a kit to a stadium, have someone run with them, drop a waypoint, then nav materials to them.
• Do not use any chariots or expedition/navigation time yourself or you will gain no points.

Since the score you get is based on the number of Phoenix built in your name in the hour, it may be worth aborting an attempt if you cannot build several.

Scoring

At the end of the Hour of the Phoenix, you will receive n^2 points, where n is the number of statues built. This means 1 point for a single Phoenix, 4 for two, etc up to a max of 7 Phoenix. The three Architects with the highest number of points will pass the test each week.
