Do you have to use all sigils to earn rewards the next day? I was annoyed by the cliffy error and stopped after 3 fights, now i see no torches around the citadels with todays gold marks. MEH. ---

Late to the party, but Southwild also has 10, so thatā€™s 60 total. > [@Kugare](#): > > Do you have to use all sigils to earn rewards the next day? I only use 5 pretty much every time, so doubt itā€™s a factor. You do however need to be a member of the Dark Order Alliance to get the rewards. šŸ–– ---

Soā€¦ I used 5 sigils yesterday, and yet - zero Gold Marks bonuses from me. I am in The Dark Order. I play 2 accounts, one got 2 bonuses (Winterā€™s Reach, Summer Isle), the other one got zero bonuses. ---

After rechecking the reward section of the update notes, it sounds i should be able to claim the alliance rewards anyway, simply for the fact my alliance won the citadel fights, but somehow i have the feeling i have to contribute points the day before to let all reward torches appear. Yesterday the cliffy errors forced me to restart after each fight, maybe a single fight without cliffy had prevent this situation? ---

> [@esslee](#): > > How did you ascertain which lanterns would give (Dark Order) gold marks ? This is my biggest peeve with the system (aside from it being completely busted currently). I never remember which kingdoms should be giving gold marks (and this is worsened to the extreme with the mayhem of wars happening when they shouldnā€™t, voting popping up randomly, more GM kingdoms being available than what should be, etc). Someone mentioned recoloring the lantern icon based on whether it gives silver or gold marks. This would be insanely helpful. ---

> [@esslee](#): > > How did you ascertain which lanterns would give (Dark Order) gold marks ? So far (before the weekend glitchathon), lanterns have been replaced on my map to match the previous dayā€™s citadels quite consistently. But I do also remember the previous citadels, so that doesnā€™t hurt either šŸ˜› The one exception today was Central Spire, that only gave me Silver marks despite it having a citadel yesterday, but hard to analyze patterns until someone from IP2 sheds some update on whatā€™s going on Vs whatā€™s supposed to be going on. šŸ¤· šŸ–– ---

So aside from keeping a pvp diary and getting stress therapy we will have to rely on the goodheartedness of fellow players such as yourself to post the relevant lanterns of the day ā¤ā¤ ps I do not remember the previous Citadels since I am currently in a home for the permanently bewildered ---

Many people Iā€™ve spoken to about this are of the opinion that the best solution to the whole ā€œallianceā€ issue is simply to ignore it! Thatā€™s exactly what Iā€™m going to do too! Just donā€™t let the fun take away from the game and show the devs what you think of the update! ---

There should definitely be an option to join an Alliance that doesnā€™t want to partake in half baked ā€œfeatureā€. The penalty to join that alliance would be to severe to show actual and honest feedback. Notice there is a penalty for leaving alliances but not leaving guilds?
