One thing I’m confused about is the mythstone bonuses. With the +20 bonus on a kingdom and a lantern, you usually get more than 100 from an explore 12 run, meaning if you do this repeatedly, you can end up with massive amounts of mythstones, but only able to spend 100 each run. Seems wasteful, and the kingdoms just keep increasing the bonus as you level up. Can’t see the point, unless it’s about letting players do lower level runs and still getting enough mythstones to do a mythic boss.
I have over 250 mythstones. And it does nothing.

Maybe this is an answer. If they’re making changes in the future, maybe we need mythstones for something else, or spending more of them helps us somehow, but I dunno.
Just seems weird, right now.

Ah, you mean when you reach 100 or more mythstones in each run, you always get to the boss and chest. Good point.

This now being the case, I no longer feel the urgency to chase the lanterns. I’m now doing something much closer to alternating between lantern kingdoms and non-lantern kingdoms as to keep my mythstone totals from running away with me.
It’s not that it makes much of a difference. There are a few kingdoms that annoy my E12 team and I’d prefer to sidestep them on occasion, but I also picked up enough stat boosts from the transition to 9.2 such that some of those concerns went away. But I’d rather keep my mythstone totals down a little bit so that I don’t have to plow through a bunch of mythic boss battles when doing a GaP during a future Vault Weekend.

Hi there. Today I received as well 20 Exp of the Kingdom (hello from Midnight with them 68 Exp 😅). No no, I am not complaining at all. And about the Shiny Dust.. at the moment I have 990 😆🤌🏻

I was thinking the same these days. Most of the players are happy with the update, including me. But I am preoccupied.. we spent all crystals, we finished all the tasks available, and the euphoria of the growing progress will disappear as soon as we will see how rarely new troops, weapons and pets of each Kingdom will appear 😬
