![29-05-2018_10-33-13_AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/5/3/53bf1e41577f0489e11d06f33cf6ca2ebffdd168.jpg) So in the finish I ended up with 9,062 battles (this includes a few pet rescues and dungeon battles). Next month I’ll hit the elusive 10k!!! I only had 12 hours sleep and next time I’ll learn from my mistakes and not play while too tired! 4 games per minute is possible but not when extremely tired lol. Barely 2 games per minute. So lesson learnt, better to take a power nap and come back refreshed for most efficient farming. My plan next time is to do maybe 1500 battles then sleep for a few hours. Slightly troubling though was my VK drop rate. 9k battles with 63 Vk = 1:143 battles. After the first day 3000 battles only 15 keys I almost gave up because it was close to 1: 200 battles which is only half as many keys as average but luckily day 2 and 3 were better. But still the worst gnome event for me so far. 1st event 1:122 2nd event 1:130 3rd event 1:125 4th event 1:143 I only used 27 keys (I still have 200 left 😄) because I got 5 copies of Cedric and he’s now Mythic and I’m hoping they reduce his super buffed ridiculous drop rate before I use any more. So over the 3 days I found 63 vault keys 1400+ gems 550+ diamonds 504 arcanes 141 celestials 155 event keys 238 gem keys These totals would have been more obviously if I had opened the other 36 keys I found this weekend. ![29-05-2018_11-21-01_AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/0/f/0fa84258f9ff4606a34e9d6cfd0724e3923b500c.jpg) 😜 ---

504 arcanes OMFG!!!😮 More than 1:20 battle that’s really good. ---

Actually I thought the unofficial rate was 1:16 on average? ---

I thought it was 1:20, it seems to be the case for me at least ---

As you pointed out in the other thread: > [@A Buff to Vault Rewards](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/a-buff-to-vault-rewards/39843/158): > > Please return Cedric to his rarer drop chance and boost the common gnome drops to x5 at a time to compensate. _It’s ridiculous that I now have **Legendary** Cedric at **Mythic** but **only a few copies** of the **Common** gnomes._ ---
