Suddenly I am being owned by T1s, and T3s are worse than Pet 8s? What is going on? I am over level 1100 and my power isn’t even close to this… T1 ![t1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/d/4/d471d617eed788489484bf5adf5670f8574ed662.jpeg) T3 ![t3](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/b/1/b1cb8b1e9356f435ca800a0299a3d2f939e7e772.jpeg) ---

I’m not sure what “T3” is, but make sure you haven’t accidentally increased your difficulty setting. ---

That’s it, somehow I accidentally clicked on casual instead of ranked PVP, which I never do. I guess difficulty applies there. Thanks, I thought I was going crazy. ---

Difficulty also influences the reward output, to my knowledge. Useful for Warlord IV Firebomb farming. ---

Just make sure your opponent isn’t hiding a Sunbird in with those Fire Bombs. ☠ ---

I have auto-scout from VIP 3, so I can 9 times out of 10 detect it, but occasionally, on the heavy PVP grinds, I click too quickly and get blind-sided. Tack on a x4 Cedric Team, or as many as you have, throw on Apothecary, Alchemist, Finley, etc., and you’ve got yourself a decent amount of gold just for watching Fire Bombs explode. ---

Try Cedric, Cedric, Greed, Cedric. Cast greed as much as you can. Rake in the gold very quickly on Warlord IV against the firebombs.
