⚜ Welcome to the 13th Iron Hideout Competition, a friendly event to showcase your architectural skills, compete for amazing prizes, or have fun during the league. It's made by the community, for the community. Therefore, no entry costs are required, just good ole-fashioned fun! This is totally unofficial and hosted by PegasusRideR.

Please click on the pictures to view them in large size.


Transfer and Shipping of the Prizes:
Spoiler
The amounts can be sent through Bitcoin or Western Union depending on your choice. If these aren't available in your country, we will look for alternative methods. Bank transfer is currently not possible.
If you pick one of the rings as your prize, to ensure the rings fit your finger perfectly, you will first be sent ring sizers having the exact length of both rings. After you try the ring sizers and find the perfect fit, the ring will be specially crafted for you and then will be sent to your address along with the other prizes. If you have a chance to get your finger measured in a jewelry store having 7-9mm ring sizers, we can skip the ring sizer sending process and will start the process of crafting the ring immediately. Engravings can be done up to around 12 characters counting spaces(Can be lower if the size is small), all caps with multiple font choices you will be able to choose from.
Even though the prizes will be sent using the gift option, in some countries you might still have to pay tax. This is completely out of our hands, and we highly suggest searching for the situation in your country's customs first if you are willing to pick one of the prizes. You can always contact me and ask for info too, and I will do my best to help. You can find my Discord and Telegram support on https://ironhideout.net
We are mostly using solid boxes for shipping that can carry 50 kilos without even bending, but if any damage happens in the transfer process, just send me a picture of the damaged item and I will send a replacement as soon as possible.
Shipping of prizes takes between 2 weeks and 1.5 months. Shipments will be sent with tracking where you will be able to see each step of the shipping process. We will be covering the shipping costs.

Your account must be created before the competition start date.
Hideouts that entered other competitions and previous Iron Hideout Competitions are not eligible.

If a competitor attains multiple spots within the Top 5, they will only be eligible to claim the prize for their top-ranked placement. The other proceeds will be postponed and awarded to the following ranked competitors.
We're using hideout files to record your entries. Not-unlocked/unplaced masters and missing guild stash spawn in random locations in hideouts. Please unlock all masters and hide the ones you don't want to not-visible places like rocks, walls, etc. Even though we remove the obvious-looking misspawns like these while recording, we might end up missing some. You can also finish your hideout on standard where all masters will be unlocked. If you are unable to unlock all the masters, contact me from Discord or Telegram support at https://ironhideout.net and I will gladly help you place and/or hide them before doing the recording.
Hideouts need to be uploaded to any sharing site such as Google Drive, Pastebin, Sync, Internxt, MediaFire, etc. with the final hideout file of your work. Sharing is part of this competition.

We require the Character screen to be displayed at some point during the video, and we kindly ask that you don't set your profile to private. While recording the video, please ensure that there aren't any other players in the hideout. These are necessary precautions to enable console players to compete in the Iron Hideout Competitions for the first time ever!
Using the post template below is required. All required is posting your hideout to a file-sharing site and linking it here, and answering questions in the template message below.

Iron Hideout Revolution is aimed to unite all of the hideout community under a single, friendly, welcoming, and feature-wise supreme roof which no one was able to succeed now, with the dream of starting an infinite cycle of growth for this amazing community! The revolution is driven by the passion for the art of hideouts and designed to be owned and improved by the community itself, staying true to the scale of justice. We are and will always be continuously looking to improve the Iron Hideout family to make the revolution as effective as possible. You can find info on how to join us in the spoiler below. If you are interested, please contact PegasusRideR with a private message on Path of Exile forums or from Discord (pegasusrider or PegasusRideR#0001). Here are 4 layers of the revolution and how you can contribute:

Spoiler
1) IronHideout.net (also .org and .gg): It's up already, with a revamped logo, a message to the hideout community and a video! It will be a website that will be continuously improving by listening to and learning from the community, just as everyone has been waiting for a long time! We have so many ideas that haven't been implemented before, but unfortunately, the website is the most time-consuming layer of the revolution. The process will go silent, and we will launch the site as beta when it progresses significantly and becomes worthy of presenting to the public. Then we will improve it together as the hideout community until it gets out of beta state. Even after that, improvements will keep on going. A worldwide chain of agencies is currently working on it, and there will soon be another team formed from the community to gather and brainstorm ideas for the improvement of the website. We are looking for hideout architects to join the improvements team. These two teams will work in collaboration with the admins' lead.

2) Iron Hideout Discord Server: It is currently up. You can join by clicking here! It is designed to create the best Discord server ever in RPG history in terms of easiness of use, rules, its system, channels and content, monthly giveaways from actual competition prizes, a huge protection mechanism against scammers/spammers/bots, and much more! To provide this, I have joined 200+ various popular Discord servers, recorded all their positives as videos, and noted down all their negatives for 5 months. We are currently looking for an admin and two moderators in the team.

3) Iron Hideout Competitions: The competitions will go on with its current revolutionized version and will keep on improving with each competition. We are aiming to provide a much-improved competition experience with the introduction of the website which will offer lots of improvements and ease of use! We are currently looking for a professional-scale partnership with a Twitch streamer for the showcase and commentary streams of the current and future Iron Hideout Competitions. We are also looking for more juries to add to the jury team.

4) Iron Hideout Guild: A guild dedicated to hideouts will offer in-game chat with the community, the easiest base farming possibility, and the possibility to collaborate or ask for help from the other architects without the need for alt-tabbing. We have started accepting members and the first 15 members will get a special role on the upcoming Iron Hideout Discord server! We are also looking for officers who either actively build or grind! Just contact PegasusRideR from Discord: pegasusrider.



Best of luck to everyone!🪽
