This is **currently unconfirmed** , but there is significant circumstantial evidence to suggest that a problem may exist, so **anyone trying to get AW from event chests should wait until Friday or a positive confirmation that AW can indeed be obtained from event chests this week**. It has been confirmed that Archproxy Yvendra is available from event chests this week (see [this thread](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/will-the-new-mystic-be-in-next-week-event-chest)), but no one has yet reported obtaining Arachnaean Weaver in event chests (for circumstantial evidence suggesting that it might not be, see [this post](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/will-the-new-mystic-be-in-next-week-event-chest/71965/12) in particular) after more than 10 AY pulls (edit: now around 20 reported AY pulls) from event keys. One plausible explanation for the bug is that AY, as the monthly mythic, has been coded to be the unique mythic in chests where it can be obtained for a week, and that the edge case in which the weekly kingdom would coincide with the monthly mythic release has not been considered properly. ---

~~That’s literally how its supposed to work.~~ ~~New mythic release overrides event kingdom mythic. This time it just so happens that the event week includes the new release; any other matchup would have event keys getting no mythics until Friday, this is the _only_ time they have any with a new mythic.~~ ~~As I said to my guild, hold keys until Friday if one really wants Weaver.~~ Okay I may not know. … But clearly I did know. ---

I don’t believe anything is explicitly stated about exclusivity of the mythic in event keys. For instance, the in-game announcement for monthly mythics states ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/9/7/97bf35330a26ffc13af13a50522862800a8e5098.jpeg) > [@Shimrra](#): > > any other matchup would have event keys getting no mythics until Friday, this is the _only_ time they have any with a new mythic. This is certainly not the case; you can still get mythics corresponding to the weekly kingdom from event keys even during the monthly mythic release. ---

> [@Shimrra](#): > > any other matchup would have event keys getting no mythics until Friday Wait what? Is this confirmed anywhere? I thought event keys were independent of the new monthly troop. So, I thought you could still get a mythic from event keys during that new mythic week, it would just be the event kingdom mythic and not the new one. If during new mythic week, mythics generally dont drop in event chest (since usually the new mythic is from a different kingdom), I will save my keys those weeks. Dont tell me I have been wasting them. ---

I’ve spent over 2000 event keys chasing a second copy of AW today and obviously didn’t get one, I did get 4 of the newer one. I’m not impressed if this info is true. Yet another bug in this game this is getting ridiculous now. Even if they fix it I’ve wasted so many keys that only a copy of AW as compensation will suffice ---

That description is very clear and does not state all other Mythics would be excluded. If proof is not given that AW is in event chests they have defrauded all who have attempted to get him. ---

This is crazy, I’ve been saving up Event keys for over a month. Today I spent over 700 Event keys trying to obtain Arachnaean Weaver. Event keys to my understanding are not affected by new Mythic. I have not heard any confirmation from any player that they have received AW from event chest. So if this is a glitch…I feel that I and other players should be compensated for the loss of keys. ---

You devs need a way to publish information like that in the game. This is not the only one I play, and in my other game there is a pop up notification function and a dynamic news section - whenever something major is going on (and this is major) then the information gets published in the game. It’s ridiculous that players have to go to the forums to get information, and then there’s not even a new PSA thread but the info is hidden somewhere. ---

This is from the in-game documentation on finding mythics. It strongly implies that, if the new mythic is from the kingdom featured in event chests, then the new mythic drops from events chests _alongside_ the other mythics from that kingdom. ![Capture+_2021-10-04-19-46-12](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/6/8/687648c0f6ccd011fe98d55053724e2db4a3c9fd.png) ---

Yikes. I predicted that somehow Archproxy wouldn’t be in Event chests at all, and thats what people would be mad about this week. Looking at the text of it all I have to note that nothing explicitly states that if the new mythic _is_ in event chests, it wouldn’t be exclusive to those also. It is simply _heavily_ implied. The only explicit promise made on the support site game guides would be that it _would_ be available in event chests on the week it was released if said release coincided with an exclusive period. The only explicit promise made by the New Mythic Troop news page is that it _would_ be the exclusive mythic in Glory, Gem, Guild, and VIP chests for one week only. Actually, scratch that, this whole time every mythic has this entire time been stating it was exclusive **to** these chests types. This carries a fundamentally different meaning than stating it is exclusive _in_ these chest types, as in “this is the only mythic you can get in these chests this week” versus what is stated here “these chests are the only place you can get this mythic for this week”. When you say “x is exclusive to y” it means that no other groups that y implicitly belongs to can contain x, not that no other groups that x belongs to can be in y. If you say “The Big Mac is exclusive to McDonalds.” that doesn’t mean the Big Mac is the only hamburger you can find at McDonalds, it means that other restaurants don’t have a Big Mac. The way it is stated in game doesn’t even make an explicit promise that you can’t pull other mythics from those chests! That part, however, is widely understood and clarified in the game guides, including this bit (and the several others that have been posted): ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/f/0/f081e8aa2033eb7b6f00b5a3d7740c49a72a81bf.png) If we accept this interpretation of the text, it _was_ explicitly (if accidentally) promised that the Event Chest would not contain the mythic _at all_ by the in-game text (where most people would look). Regardless of interpretations, I can make two statements of fact here: 1. The contents of chests remains hidden, so it is impossible to tell what _can_ be pulled without being told by someone (who can then just be incorrect) 2. The contents of chests did not meet many players’ expectations Let me clarify that I don’t think anyone is upset that this mythic is the only mythic in event keys for the first five days of this week. This is, after all, the first time such an overlap has happened. The problem is that from a player perspective, **it is impossible to tell in-game which mythics were in chests before spending keys** which also coincided with a **never before seen exclusivity period and kingdom event overlap**. That is going off all combined public sources across forums and help articles on websites (which _heavily_ implied both would be in chests during this period) when a simple button press, in game, should always unequivoically tell you whether something is or isn’t. This is, to my knowledge, the first time a kingdom’s mythic table has been (intentionally, not counting the times where the chance was just 0% oopsie) restricted, and _nowhere_ does it say that it would be in even vague terms. Something with a normally 0.11% drop rate already _not_ being in chests during a period when the average expectation is that it would be (if at a reduced rate due to another thing now being on the same table) needs more than a day-late passing mentioned in an unrelated campaign thread. And… even if you decided that this was how it was going to be beforehand, you have a responsibility that this is communicated _unequivoically_. Even myself, as someone playing for over 5 years and been present during every drop debacle, failed to predict that _this_ is how drops would be handled, since it took an _extra step_ to conditionally modify event key drop tables for this period (something that is not normally done during a mythic exclusive) and there was not one word about it ahead of time. This also leads me believe this was not, in fact, a “bug” but rather a misguided attempt at making things meet player expectations while not only failing to communicate this but failing spectacularly at meeting expectations. tl;dr: Please understand that any discussion here is not about what should or shouldn’t be in chests during this unprecedented overlap, but the fact that what is or isn’t in chest is not something that can be gleaned by using every _combined_ resources available when said information should be readily available in-game. Given the information that _was_ available prior to the post made by Kafka, there was nothing to suggest that Arachnean Weaver **wouldn’t** be available in event chests during the first four days of this week. Though this is, again, simply an _implied_ promise, you should give greater care to conveying this information. Why isn’t the information of what is and isn’t in chests available in-game yet?
