> [@Saltypatra](#): > > These Verses are only dropped by the 4 members of the Gnome band, Mana Surge, Cindi Savagelips, Freddi Fretfiddler, Hoagi Humbucker and Baz Bonebeater These troops **only** drop verses? Or is there a chance they will drop other gnome drops? How common is it to find these troops in a battle? I have seen only 1 in several hours. Is that normal? Edit: also does each of those troops drop the same verse every time? (I.e. Freddie fretfiddler only drops verse 1 etc.) Or is it a random verse anytime one of them is encountered? ---

The four new gnomes drop only their assigned verse, nothing else. Freddie drops 1, Cindi drop 2, Hoagi drops 3, and Baz drops 4. ---

I think you’re right - some time within the last hour. Also playstation. Will edit if I see one. Would be good to get a dev post about the whole situation. ---

The Mana Surge gnomes at least still appear in normal matches, first fight after the GaP and got one! ---

> [@Gnoma-a-Palooza Changes](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/gnoma-a-palooza-changes/70949): > > Ahoy adventurers, As some of you might have guessed, a few too many gnomes have been set loose in Krystara than intended. As such we are pushing a server fix that will make a few small changes. The chance to encounter one of the Mana Surge Gnomes during Gnome-a-Palooza has been lowered. Right now they are appearing too often during a Gnome-a-Palooza, leading to an unbalanced amount of Verses being obtained. You can still encounter one of the Mana Surge Gnomes during an active Gnome-a-Palooza… 🖖 ---

> [@Stroganrog](#): > > It’s better to be extremely careful words! > Cause now thousands will be really p-off! I’m only mildly pissed off. I absolutely _knew_ they would release this while I was on vacation and was only able to do my first GAP about 30 minutes ago. Typical IP2 to me. Still doesn’t help with class XP or deeds, which is what I’m concerned with right now. ---

Must have lowered the odds significantly as my last 2 GaP resulted in 0 Mana surge gnomes. i assumed they pulled them completely. ---

Thanks to everyone who mentioned how good the loot gain was and complained. You can no longer get the special band gnomes during GaP. You couldn’t just keep your mouth shut for 4 days could ya? Now you’ve ruined the fun for everyone else. CONGRATULATIONS Have a sticker ---

> [@Stroganrog](#): > > And once again - IT CAN BE FIXED WITHIN MINUTES, RIGHT? > What about 4 years old issues??? Still struggling??? I am with you, but to be fair this was the biggest gems economic issue we ever had and the solution was easy. On the other hand this should never be happen and the QS here is one more time a failure in itself… ---

> [@Live](#): > > to be fair this was the biggest gems economic issue we ever My 78 gems disagrees with your claim of there being an economy issue. I would wager people with the big loots are the minority. Their stashes won’t break the game. ---
