University of Progress

From A Wiki in the Desert

The Stranger's University of Progress is located in three remote locations and allows the citizenry of Egypt to demonstrate Tests to be opened. Take care, though, as the Stranger is wily and not to be trusted. (Choose wisely when you decide to demonstrate a test.) Note: This refers only to the 7-day timer between test unlocks, and *not* to any limits on the number of Tests that can be opened in total.

To demonstrate tests, one must meet the level and material demonstration requirements. Each location has a seven-day timer once a test is unlocked.

This is also the place where one can request to participate in the Ultimate Challenges.


The University of Progress is located at
Arabia: 5030, 3285
Meroe Desert: -2937, -7094
Cyrene: -2025, 7995
