At least they are starting to make and use some **keywords** now, maybe once they finish that the Help Center could have them all listed. And being really optmistic some of these could have examples of behaviors that usually causes confusion among new players. And if someone actually believes in miracles: Wild Plains rework before the end of 2019! 😄 ---

Megavore is immune to Status Effects, not status effects, and Spectral Force is based on status effects. There’s your problem! ---

> [@awryan](#): > > This is where I hope it’s oversight or a bug. Probably an oversight by using unclear words. They can just use “Deal double damage if enemy have **_any_** status effect” on Spectral Knight, and there won’t be this problem. Sometimes they just have players assume that any status effect giving to enemies will always be a negative ones, while giving to allies will be positive (Domovoi is an exception). It’s better to just clearly stated it without players making any assumption. Still, Spectral Knight’s behavior could be a bug involved with not checking if enemies got positive or negative status effect. But if it’s by intended designed, it’s quite a great spell for a new counter troop. ---

Just found this new Treasure room with positive effect! (Gain Warded) Its art is very cool! ![Screenshot_2018-09-15-19-13-52-1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/7/6/7685283c991e2fad187df4e257ba16685a35973b.png) Also, why does Legendary Goblin room got lower extra multiplier than Ultra-Rare Mushroom room? Is it to secretly tell players to take a risk of getting turned in to Mushroom, but avoid messing with Fizzbang’s endless loop? 🤔 ![45](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/5/e/5e5148b5436bb4cc93c5e27d9eb73e9074e778aa.jpeg) ---

The goblin room has a whopping 60% chance at upgrading your chest level! That is much nicer than a bit more gold/souls. ---

Some feedback from high level Delves. The chest upgrade doesn’t seem to work for crap. I call it crap mechanics. Others call it “bad luck”. The bad luck also extends to gem creation. Spawners can’t match for an extra turn despite say 30 brown on the board. 3 skulls dropping in a cascade is, more often than not, done in favor for the AI. Devs, you insist on “luck factor” being a strategy in your game. That’s obviously never gonna change. Perhaps review it to keep in mind troops that deal 150 skull damage in Delves. At level 200+ the AI shouldn’t get any favorable luck. You’re giving the players a butter knife and throwing them into a gun fight. Major props to those who have defeated level 300+ Delves. I have no idea how that’s possible currently. ![Screenshot_20180915-155741](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/8/1/8128f2059fa59dc05d50b81d112e1a4fd74499e5.jpeg) ---

@TimeKnight, was that you who posted a video of a delve battle? If so, do you remember which thread it was? Clicking your name I can check your posts in a thread but don’t know how to search forumwide. Preparing for Tuesday, my first time trying for a high delve level. Testing your Glaycion / infernus / yasmine’s pride / megavore red/ylw/brn team. It’s doesn’t seem like a kind of team I’m used to, so was going to check out how you used it. ---

> [@TimeKnight](#): > > Aside from 9 free sigils, how many minimum Tiers does it take to finish all reward stages again? I’ll stick with keep-advancing strategy, and will report it back on Sunday! ^^ Phew! Just finish all 16 stage rewards with only 400 more than required 70K points before running out of sigil. Very close call!! I lose twice, and forced to not finish all room 4 times, due to the death of main attacking troop. I end up at exactly Level 250, just the middle of the full progress! I only buy up to Tier IV (410 gems), so you could finish all reward stages for just buying new weapon. As I didn’t have a perfect run, It should be possible to go higher, or stop farming at around Level 200. Noted that if you decided to farm on Level 20 instead, with the same amount of sigils as me, you would get around 16,800 (24×700) points less, so you have to spend more gems if you want to finish last 2 rewards stage. Here’s the screenshot. ![Screenshot_2018-09-16-18-15-43](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/0/5/05b56828cdcded0ae65671c112743bc54aebc553.png) ![Screenshot_2018-09-16-18-16-01](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/6/6/667aea7d6a485a14893fb41ac8b1f865b3d9a5c2.png) ---

> [@noob](#): > > I was able to finish all rewards with tier 4 doing only level 20. Were you careful to always do the high treasure multiplier rooms first? I wasn’t. If those rooms had runic traitstones that I need, I would sometimes do lower rooms first to get the multiplier up and get an extra runic. This cost me some reward points. ---

> [@noob](#): > > I was able to finish all rewards with tier 4 doing only level 20. I must have been extremely lucky with valravens 😁 That’s… interesting to know. But also, very unlikely. Valravens are tightly controls, like in Raid/Invasion, only around 1 Valraven per 2 fight, or double the amount of sigils you get if you play it carefully. My experience in Delve is like that as well. Tier IV would give me 30 sigils in total, pretty close to where I ended up, but might not enough to close that 16K gap you miss from not beating the boss and stay at Level 20. Would you mind providing us screenshot next time? It would be very useful to new players who are not ready to advance yet. I already provided all the data and screenshot from my strategy. ---

I farmed delve 30 during the event. I bought **tier 6** , and I had 6 Valravens drop in. I finished the reward stages with 5 sigils remaining. So, I could have gotten all rewards with less tiers. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/3/0/3029f6a2468a9140e56b9a88d40bb5bdea3a9818.jpeg) **EDIT:** After I played those remaining 5 sigils, another Valraven dropped. So, the total Valravens that I encountered in this event was `7 valravens`. ---

yes i know it was unlikely, thats why i said i was very lucky. i cant post a screenshot this time as i ended up buy 2 more tiers to be on the leaderboard, but i will next time if i get lucky again btw i couldnt finish class event with tier 3 like i always do, so i guess the luck kinda balanced out [Previous page](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/new-faction-crypt-keepers/45883.md?page=2) [Next page](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/new-faction-crypt-keepers/45883.md?page=4)
