Despite being cool and all noone is ever going to use these OR OR OR cards because the game already has enough maddening RNG, who would seriously inflict upon themselves RNG willingly? And its not like these cards do anything that useful to warrant using them. Oh great you half ONE cards stats which they instantly regain with a single guardian cast. Come on guys. ---

If all you want is souls, 1 Valk 3 acolyte and play an easy challenge like first darkstone. Gets 3 darkstone kills too. Or 3 warlock which I think is easier. ---

I need like 600,000 souls still to 5 star all my kingdoms, and donā€™t have a ton of time each week to play hundreds of matches. A Pharos Ra or two would increase my bang for buck, play time-wise. Also, whatā€™s the biggest soul grab people are getting with him? 2 would give 300%, throw another necro unit in there for 350%, add in celestial armor, Warlord 3, and guild bonuses and you could probably nabā€¦ what? Close to 1,000 souls per match? ---

All + bonus are additive. 3 necromany troops at 50% would give you an extra 150% A 100% armor and 50% vip would give total of +300% souls. +50% souls difficulty brings up to 350% ---

Question for @Nimhain and @Sirrian: I was doing the progress event of Darkstone on the PS4 today, and I managed to get to the Dimetraxia reward. However, I noticed that the reward was only 1 Dimetraxia, while I seemed to remember that mobile always got 3x that purple troop from the kingdom. I just checked on the mobile version, and yes, you will get 3 Brian The Luckys thereā€¦ Is this a mistake on the console version? Many thanks in advance! ---

It was 3x sparkgrinder last week. Itā€™s supposed to be but I only needed one to mythic it so I didnā€™t take much notice. ---

Last week was actually Alistair and you only got one of him as well. Sparkgrinder was the week before and so far has been the only one weā€™ve been given x3 of of the 3 events so far. Edit : [quote=ā€œGoldPhoenix0, post:35, topic:21188ā€] The troops given for this event (and the previous ones as well) should be giving 3 of that troop, although I have noticed a bug in the engine that is causing the x3 to be truncated when the troop name is too large. This will be fixed in the next update, but I can confirm that you will be rewarded 3 of this weekā€™s troop. The next update, we will also display the list of rewards gained from the event collection, just to stop any confusion about how many of x troop or x resource you are getting. [/quote] Hmm, I thought I hadnā€™t gotten 3 of the troop, but perhaps I was mistaken and just incorrectly remembered how many I had. Sorry! šŸ™‚ ---

Iā€™m not positive, but I believe the devs are purposely changing the events requirements/rewards week to week to gather data to determine the ā€œsweet spotā€ to get rewards to the point where the majority of gamers will actually pursue the events. ---

I wasnā€™t aware that we could get as much as +350% bonus souls during a matchā€¦ That might come in mighty handy! šŸ™‚ Now of course, this soul-searching issue boils down to actually GETTING Pharos-Ra from chests. And here, I run into trouble. ā˜¹ Last week when it was mentioned that the Mythic wasnā€™t coming that week but it would be for this Friday, > [@CONSOLE: The Mummy Returns](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/console-the-mummy-returns/20894/9): > > Khetar mythic troop to come on consoles this week @Nimhain? > [@CONSOLE: The Mummy Returns](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/console-the-mummy-returns/20894/13): > > [-] Pharos-Ra this week > Itā€™s one more week for saving keys up. @Nimhain this is the first little hint from a dev that Iā€™ve seen, that our best chances for a Mythic requires stockpiling keys. Okā€¦ wellā€¦ Iā€™ll roll with that. But I still havenā€™t fathomed how much of a ā€˜stockpileā€™ we need to improve drop probability. I didnā€™t get Wulfgarok from VIP keys, last time. And previously I certainly didnā€™t get Gard, even though I went all out (and spent ALL resources on the attempt). On this VIP5 account, I have exactly _one_ copy of ONE mythic from Christmas, i.e. Abynissia. Maybe my timing for when to use keys is wrong. Maybe I actually need 4750 gems (or 100 VIP chests) before I make any attempts for Pharos-- like thatā€™s going to happen, right šŸ˜–. I mean, shoot me. I donā€™t quite know what to do when Iā€™ve been chomped with what weā€™ll (provisionally) call the ā€œBoba Effect Charmā€ ā„¢ Ā© for reticent RNG. `ARGH!` šŸ™€šŸ˜µ ---

there is no extra improved probability its just more resources = more chances šŸ˜› (unless consoles have some extra algorhitms for that other then pc/mobile?) some very rough estimation for me on pc/mobile to get a mythic is something like 1k-5k glory keys, usually if you are in a guild that does all tasks (no legendary tasks) and you save all gems/glory keys /gem keys (for entire month duration between one mythic to another) it should suffice with a ~70% chance ? (but maybe thats just me and my luck) ---

ugggghhhhā€¦ ā˜¹ So we wonā€™t be getting Pharos until theres a huge console update again that gets passed through sony and microsoft?

Sorry, Boomer, I donā€™t agree. Iā€™d rather they resolve identified issues before release of a buggy asset, rather than play catch up chasing the bug in a live environment. Itā€™s the responsible thing to do. Here the ā€˜best featureā€™ that our devs have always provided is their degree of conscience in maintaining their product. I appreciate this. ^^This is also one of the main reasons why I like playing Gems over many other games. Thanks! šŸ™‚ ---
