Note: If you are uncomfortable reporting your bug publicly you can privately message @Cyrup or @Kafka with the completed bug template. **Platform, device version and operating system:** Windows 8, PC, Steam **Screenshot or image:** **What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened:** I have completed all rooms through six floors of the tower and the boons total is listed as 18. If there are 4 rooms per level not including the boss, shouldn’t the total be more than 18? **How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?** Just a problem today so far. **Steps to make it happen again** Play the tower ---

Not a bug. ![20190128_090736](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/f/4/f4d366cfbc537cefcba496b303bce85f4130f022.jpeg) So depending on what your floors were. Not every room is considered a boon. That being said the explanation is missing Power Scrolls which count as 4 boons each. Therefore the present description can be misleading. ---

Yeah, let’s math it out, what you are seeing is right but what awryan is saying is also right. 6 rooms means 24 floors, since the boss room doesn’t really drop a boon. 6 of those floors are the Unlock Scroll, which is not a Boon. That leaves 18 floors, so you got a boon for every completed room. But not all scrolls are boons. I’d argue encountering _only_ boons for the first 6 floors is pretty cruddy. You could’ve got a Haste Scroll or various other things that are better than boons. ---

> [@Slypenslyde](#): > > That leaves 18 floors, so you got a boon for every completed room. No he probably didn’t. Luck, fireball, heroism, and haste do not count as boons. ---

Well, we can nitpick over semantics, but it’s still true he has an identical number of floors completed and boons rewarded. Statistically speaking it is _improbable_ but _possible_ every room was a boon. The argument as to whether this counts as “a boon per completed room” isn’t very productive because there is no math that supports a different argument. There are 18 boons, if you put them over 18 rooms that is 1 boon per room. ---

Power Scrolls are worth 4 boons. As bugged as the game can be. I’m gonna side with what the game says in this case and not what over thinking it can possibly offer. Still… Not…a…bug. ---

@aartemis Having just completed floor 6 I am 100% confident that ToD is working as intended. ![Screenshot_20190128-110214](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/4/8/4861abe7ca26ab6a3029d4101a1ab903c0b512f8.jpeg) ![Screenshot_20190128-110010](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/0/d/0d638380653b482684e0dbcd056002e934fe3cc8.jpeg) Please change the title to “solved”. But if you want to wait until the Devs confirm it then you have that right. ---

I never said it was a bug. To clarify for OP: - Expecting 24 boons from 6 floors wouldn’t be right if you expect 1 boon per completed room. - Expecting 18 is right if you think it’s true, because 6 of the rooms must be unlock scrolls. - But awryan’s first post, which I referenced, is right: you don’t really get a boon every time you defeat a room. You get some number of boons that might be 0, 1, or 4. So in theory a lot of values between 0 boons and 72 boons are possible over 6 floors. On average it seems more likely to expect slightly fewer than 1 boon per floor completed, awryan’s most recent post is a demonstration of that. But it can _look otherwise_ because if you average up your boons, there are a lot of ways to say “I’ve finished `n` rooms and have `n` boons.” Mathematically speaking that means you averaged “1 boon per room”, even though in reality you had some strings of 0 boons and some rooms with 4. In short, check out the game’s support to know what each scroll does. There are a lot of moving parts in Tower of Doom, so it’s worth reading up: > **[Types of Scrolls](https://gemsofwar.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000483536-Types-of-Scrolls)** > > Scrolls are won as rewards in Tower of Doom battles and are used to help you and your Guild progress in the event. > Scrolls and their effects > > > > > > Armor Scroll > > +1 Guild Armor Boon > > > > Life Scroll > +1... ---

Doesn’t power count as a single boon? Like it adds +1 to each guild skill, but counts as a single boon in the individual count. ---

Yea it does, doublechecked now via our tower layout map on discord. Have 29 boons in the ingame ranking, but I counted 21 actual boons + 2 power scrolls.
