5 Brass Rings? Last time I lost an Elusive contest, I just lost one at a time. Does an Elusive loss take all your K&C items now?[/quote]I believe this refers to multiple consecutive attacks in which several Rings were taken (one at a time).[/quote]
I pulled 30 echos from [hiz/zer] post; Brass Rings sell at 12.50, so somewhere between 2-3, just to be clear.
As others have said, you can join the moon league to duel and perhaps acquire prizes without risk of surprise. You can also take a form and then drop it; you’ll still be eligible for receiving the 12 prize tokens each month when you have under 20. Note that dying while in the Iron League removes all your iron knife tokens and victories, necessitating joining from scratch again, whereas being in the moon league prevents being kicked out for dying.[/quote]
Moon league sounds like a safer area to play with. How does one join it? I assume I can grind for prizes while in there.
Based on the discussion thread, it seems that this whole Irons Leagues affair can go toxic fast.
The Iron League can be vicious and newer players are less likely to have the cards that allow them to attack or drop their form very often. I do agree that it is easier to be in the Moon Leagues, it is slower and you can (if you choose to) protect your K&C items and it is a lot easier to step away for a short break if you want to.
To be honest I don’t understand people with K&C items risking the elusive attack as there is no guarantee that you will win. If the person who attacks loses they also lose their K&C gear so you might have got a knife (or two); a shroud; a brass ring and a Nephrite Ring. I’m just saying it could have gone the other way.

You can join the Moon League from the Gamekeeper’s Cottage in Watchmaker’s Hill as long as you have a form. Joining the league automatically removes your form, but you can safely take one if you so choose through the weekly Sense of Urgency. (There are many opportunities to change forms at will but this is the only way I know of to gain a form when formless.) The only Moon League social action that automatically accepts is a Golden Hunt, but those can only occur between players who both have a winstreak of at least three, and as with any other hunt participants can withdraw at any time.

Okay. Managed to join the Moon league after getting the Bazaar lodging card. Thanks!
I predict that the long-term effect of this thread is that the tearful archaologist will be attacked and robbed again by semi-known acquaintances upon ever stepping foot into the Iron Leagues. Out of simple, old-fashioned, bad-natured spite against an advantage-seeking sore loser with an acquisitive notion of fairness and a poor comprehension of the brutal spirit of play. Watch out! Cull that acquaintance list! Enjoy your reputation.
Edited to add: not attacked by ME! I’m not in the Iron Leagues, that place is full of dangerous, wealthy ruffians who will as soon stab and rob you as send you a Christmas card! I’ll be in the Young Stags club having a drink instead.

The Iron Leagues are filled with bounders, scoundrels, miscreants, reprobates, ne’er do wells, villains, cads, varmints, and [censor]ing [censor] [censor]s. Yet our … er … their affairs rarely get toxic.

Uhhhhh if losing a sky knife really ruins your day I can arrange for an alt account for you to steal from - just come over to Moon League and I will drop you a duel. Just, like, follow what I said okay?
But like, it is probably a better idea to join the Moon League and hoard your items there - you still get prize tokens and things, and you never suffer from unexpected attacks. I assume you didn’t cash in Notability for this.[i]

I assume he/she/they aren’t using their real player name (tearful from losing the knife) and Danko will be discreet enough not to spread it around (or maybe he stabs people frequently enough to lose count). It’s, like, Christmas.
