GUIDE - Ram Runner Expedition with Images and Video

This is the first in a series of Adventure World Map Walkthroughs.

These will be video and image walkthroughs and work to help you get through the map in the most energy efficient manner. Expeditions are listed as "Rewards Upto" which means you have to slash EVERY bush and every item to get the full value. I am NOT interested in doing everything on a map.

I have 3 goals when going through Expeditions:
1) Get all quests done towards Mastery
2) Utilize Energy positive situations (Vases and Skulls)
3) Get out with Max XP per Energy Spent

Ram Runner is a 4 Hour Expedition. It is the shortest time given on any current Expedition and it gives a lot of people problems trying to get it done in time.

WALKTHROUGH

SECTION A

First off we want to avoid the Rams at all cost. There is no reason to hit or be hit from any of them.

As we pass by the first set of Rams on each side we get to the Blue and Red Spike Trap Switches. Clear the Medium Rocks (3 HP) [A & B] in front of each Switch before hitting both of them back to back [C & D]. When both Rocks are cleared, hit both switches and move on ahead of the 4 Rams.

SECTION B

Grab the 2 Jade Vases [A & B] from behind the Bushes as you come to the next set of Switches. They are hidden behind Suspicious Rocks. The top left unlock the Blue Trap, which we want to ignore. Go instead to the top right now and unlock it to release the Orange Trap [C]. 3 of the 4 Rams should be trapped behind the Medium Rock where the 2 Jade Vases were. Head down the back side of the area you are in taking out the 2 Bushes. Lead the loose Ram left and then take him back right to get ahead of him. Then run to the Giant Rock (5 HP).

SECTION C

2x 3 Dmg Pickaxe strikes later you're through to the next section. [A]

Chop down the Mountain Shrub to get the Jade Vase [B],

SECTION D


The next Bush for that Jade Vase [A]. Grab the Ruby Vase [B] as you head down to the switch area, going to the inside to bypass the Bush. Chop down the Mountain Shrub [C]. Hit the first Switch, grab the Jade Vase, and then from behind hit the second Switch. Leave the final Bush and Rock alone.

Pass over the Red trap and chop the Bush to gain access to the Ruby Vase [D]. Then back around the left loop to get the Ruby Vase [E]. This will release the Ram but you will be able to outpace the Ram no problem.

Big Rock [F] and Bush will get you to the last main section.

SECTION E

For a "perfect run" you should actually skip the Jade Vase. (Our average XP per Energy is over 12. The Rock/Jade combo only nets us 9 XP for 1 Energy). Then loop around the outside through 2 Mountain Shrubs and a Bush to get a Azure Skull.

SECTION F

One more Vine and one more Big Rock and you are at the Ram Stein and the Expedition is over.

STATISTICAL LOOK
Ram Runner requires 700 Supplies with a cost of 1225 coins (based on 4 Hour Trader). It requires 0 Gadgets for a total cost of 1225 coins.
My Coin Reward for my optimal run through was 1489 based on the 5 Star 700 bonus for +264 coins.
My run required 27 Energy
The 5 Star Master Resource reward is 20 Water for a 0.74 Resource per Energy Spent.
The XP Reward was 343 for a 12.70 XP per Energy Spent.

I did a run where I went down the right side at the single Ram hitting 3 extra Bushes. It lowered my per Energy reward quite a bit. My Resource per energy was .61 and XP per Energy was 11.00. So you really do want to just get what you need to get all the quests done in the cheapest manner.

That's it for Ram Runner and I hope you all found it interesting and helpful. Let me know if you have any questions, comments or concerns.
