What are journey events and how do you play them? One of Chalcedony’s traits is about miles in a journey event and I don’t know what that refers to. ---

There will be one coming next week with an elf troop similar to chalcedony. Look out for that. 🙂 ---

True. But Chalcedony is still a great troop even if she only has 2 active traits. ---

Chalcedony helped beef up my Underworld renown to over 51000. Yeah she has one useless trait (that honestly should be changed since Journey events are total nonsense) but her other traits are fantastic. ---

Note about the Journey event achievement: To get “I Would Walk 20,000 Miles” you need to reach 20k miles during a single event, which will take lots of gems and time. > [@Journey Miles Data](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/journey-miles-data/76187/9): > > I bought Tier 7 twice but once I got to 20000 miles I still had 24 sigils left, meaning I wasted 500 gems… EDIT: 164 matches to get there I always took the highest miles except for few times when the other match gave a stat boost. Then again I had luck to only lose a Valraven once when one appeared in a boss fight and the AI’s Chalcedony killed my whole team in one turn. Yes, that means AI casting Chalcedony with three constructs will give Chalcedony infinite mana and extra turns despite pla… ---

I agree. And yeah they should give her a new trait.
