Hamlet Defense #1,2,3 Provisioner VS #4-20

[Filtiarne]

Has anyone been #1,2 or 3 provisioner on their server for a lvl 2 hamlet yet that can say if there is any real incentive to spend the amount of time it will take to attain such a status. I've been #4 before and I know its just like #20. One extra roll at loot and a point bonus. Is being #1 better in any way or is it just 25 hours of e-peen?

I had someone that was 3rd in a hamlet defense last night, and I was also in the top 20. She got 2 more dark matter than I did over the course of the runs we did.

It's almost... worth it then.

#1 gets zero advantage versus #20 once baddlemode begins. They have equal chance at earning doh/dol gear from the captain.

Furthermore, it does not seem to affect the chest rewards. Except for the fact that having a top 20 provisioner gives the party 3000 bonus points they otherwise wouldn't have, the gear/monetary gains tied to these bonus points seem to be poor-to-nonexistant.

The closest I can gather, the anima and fireworks seem to be possibly the only things tied to the party score; Combat-related militia gear may not. Instead, it is very possible that the groups that can repeatedly earn the same item (militia barbut, Militia hat etc) earn them because of hidden conditions that are satisfied.

Example: A full battlecraft party (no doh, no dol), at Rank 2 Gold Bazaar, can consistently get the mage hat if and only if every party member and ally survives the battle.

There may be some more specific requirements, but in my previous groups that condition seems pretty easy to replicate.

If this is all true, special conditions for drops could be elsewhere- there are still lots of unknowns:

How do you rally troops, goad enemies? (emotes have been tested, did not work)
How do you find the 3rd monster to kill (screenshots please or it didn't happen)
How is "no beastmen casualties" possible? (is it tied to spamming sleep or "capturing"?)
How are beastmen "taken captive"?

1) tried alot of things too no luck
2) ive gotten the reward for the 3rd monster, but havent actualy seen it spawn, so not sure on it either
3) im guessing by having multiple crafters who spam the hell out of sleep, and alot of luck?
4) anything that isnt dead is taken captive at the end
