I’m glad to try to help. As many of the other community members will chime in as well. We each play a little differently depending on our style. But we are all willing to share knowledge. Best part about the forum. Keys - if your guild completes half of the regular tasks (I would guess) each week, that’s a lot of keys for a beginner. At the very least use all your keys before spending gold. I don’t have the best luck when it comes to mythic weeks. I spend tons of resources and don’t get the troop I’m hoping for. These numbers are quite low for some but - 1800 gems, 3K various keys and 27K glory spent - no Champion of Anu. It’s all luck if you get anything at all. Traitstones - doing explore is the best way of getting stones. It’s repetitive and can be a bit boring but it is the best way. Some times you’ll get 2 stones in 30 battles or less. Sometimes you’ll do 100 battles and get none. Again - RNG luck determines what you get. There are quite a few different explore teams that make a battle 2 or 3 moves to get the win. Here’s a link for a thread that has a lot of options for you depending on what you have : > [@GoW Team Build Compendium](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/gow-team-build-compendium/15464): > > So, in light of the “Worse Than Bone Dragon” thread, which you can easily find elsewhere, I have decided to start a thread where people who enjoy SHARING their teams may do so. I have always been impressed with the openness and camaraderie of this forum and this is my attempt to create a place where that generosity can be appreciated by new and old players alike. Please share your BEST Teams with the community! (If this is not your style, please respect the thread and don’t troll. Thanks!) To … I’m running Sunbird / Forest Guardian / Ogryn / Fire Bomb - Abyssal banner for my explores. It’s one of the best teams going. You might not have all those troops or the traits that make the team so effective but the linked thread may have something that you can work with. Good luck. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/n00b-gameplay-question/36928)._
