Pretty sure they’ve had this particular problem for ages, they don’t do pyramid schemes too well here. Though that’s because commons can’t be made interesting.
Here’s the post:
Pets become the new roadblock, not troops. Power level 13 includes the task “upgrade a pet to level 20”. Yikes.
Edit: and weapons. “Fully upgrade 4 weapons from this kingdom”. Hope you’ve been saving your legendary ingots!
Troops are still going to be the primary time-gate for Kingdom Power above 10, but I agree Troops will not necessarily the longest grind compared with getting Pets to 20 and weapons fully upgraded.
45 ingots for legendary weapons is way too much !
Solution 1 : go from 45 to about 25.
Solution 2 : drastically increase the loot rate.
Or reduced the base rarity of some (a lot of?) current Legendary weapons.
Almost half of the weapons are Legendary ones… And every new Event/Kingdom weapons are Legendary…
I like the idea of having:
Upgrade 1-5: Common Ingots
Upgrade 6: Rare Ingots
Upgrade 7: Ultra-Rare Ingots
Upgrade 8: Epic Ingots
Upgrade 9: Legendary Ingots
Upgrade 10: Mythic Ingots
Suddenly the more common ingots get used way more often and the ridiculous rarity of Mythic Ingots get scaled properly to how many times they need to be used. (I.E. Each Mythic weapon only needing 10 Mythic Ingots).
@TheIdleOne another solution would be to trade zull for 10k legendary ingots
but then the next day, they’ll buff Zuul to create 20 Doomskulls!
