Please note the Pathfinder trait is a unique Trait, this means the Trait cannot be stacked with itself, and only one Troop with the Pathfinder trait will apply its bonus in a Journey Event. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/e/8/e8d397da595b9324dadeecbf8e20bf9eff1e7aa3.png) **New Ultra-Rare Troop: Natureborn Wolf** [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/f/6/f63e3c75062037ac5c6bd087e0a8d2f258d788fd.jpeg)](https://gemsofwar.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/NaturebornWolf.jpg) The Natureborn Wolf will be available this week for 300 Glory in the shop as well as in Event Chests, and will appear in Glory, Gem, and Guild chests in 3-4 weeks’ time. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/e/8/e8d397da595b9324dadeecbf8e20bf9eff1e7aa3.png) **New Weapon: Thorn’s Blade** [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/d/0/d05395e597d6a21ff478c818ebaf6774805f7ba8.jpeg)](https://gemsofwar.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/ThornsBlade.jpg) This week it will be available in both the Journey shop, and in the Soulforge. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/e/8/e8d397da595b9324dadeecbf8e20bf9eff1e7aa3.png) **Nexus Event Chest** Please note that there is no mythic currently available in Event chests for Nexus, so it is not possible to get a Mythic from this chest. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/e/8/e8d397da595b9324dadeecbf8e20bf9eff1e7aa3.png) **Now Available in the Vault: The Star and The Devil** The Star and The Devil will become available as possible drops from both Vaults and Epic Vaults after weekly reset.

They always deny this at first, deliberately spread misinformation and ultimately refuse to communicate further once enough proof has been presented. Avoid spending money on this event, you may receive something inferior to what you paid for, their support will just ignore and close your compensation request. For the most recent case of faulty loot boxes and how they were handled, see [this thread](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/spin-me-right-round/72024) and [this summary](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/arachnean-weaver-compensation/72178). ---

Journey is one of those unfortunate bands that has a lot of really good songs but people and radio stations only care about a few of them. Also Hawthorn looks good as far as virtually required event troops go. Destroying a row is a lot better than randomly generating a couple gems. ---

Am I missing something here? Feels like there’s like 3 posts missing that’s not telling me things I should be interested in. What’s a Journey Event and how is it played? What’s Nexus and why is it a thing? (I know its a New Kingdom). Shouldnt the Kingdom pass be explained in more detail now besides the patch notes? Pictures and stuff ---

(I know its a New Kingdom). > Shouldnt the Kingdom pass be explained in more detail now besides the patch notes? Pictures and stuff 6.0 is out tomorrow and I still dont really know what to expect. Is it a mix of World x Bounty? Bounty has the bounty troops, which is like pathfinder. World has “choices”, which is like journey’s supposed choices. So little has been shared I cant be excited for 6.0. what is new? The first thing about 6.0 in the game is already broken too. If you go to in game news and click Learn More, it doesnt work. 🤷‍♀️ Also, since IP2 stole money just recently and still hasnt issued refunds, why should I buy the new pass? ---

All I can hope for right now is that the troop restriction is not Kingdom = Nexus. That would be the biggest slap in the face after all this. ---

I just hope that the “miles” needed to gain all rewards from the Journey event aren’t as high as the very first World event 🙏 ---

Appreciate the thoroughness of the article — a few details missing, but not as vague as many articles are. A few typos, however, and at least a couple potentially misleading ones: 1. _apart_ instead of “a part” (opposite meanings) 2. “Tier VII” is followed by “(6)”. It should be (7) [Next page](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/don-t-stop-believin/72617.md?page=2)
