Ouch DanWhatever. I make the blog posts not the events. ---

Okay, picked up the new payload. I see the reworded spell, but the stats haven’t changed. Not sure how many kingdom bonuses are assumed when they take those snapshots. ---

The rule is that the traitstone given in the glory chests is the one required for the troop. And I’m quite sure that @Sirrian said that they don’t look so much to the traitstones already given in the past weeks. It also mean that they should choose the colors of a troop according to what was available before. It will be strange, no? One possibility is to change the rule so that the traitstone provided is not the same than the one used by the troop. That implies that the players that haven’t a stock of traitstones could not be able to trait ASAP their weekly troop. ---

Without being spoilery, as far as we can see there won’t be another repeated arcane for a good while. ---

Here’s the last I remember ever hearing from the Word of God about Traitstone colors. > [@Swamp Thing](http://community.gemsofwar.com/t/swamp-thing/3928/30): > > We actually hadn’t been specifically looking at troop/traitstone colors to ensure there was a nice spread coming out in events. Up until now, first & foremost, we’ve been trying to fill in gaps in Kingdoms, and create some interesting counters & synergies. We’ll keep an eye on the color rotations in future - no promises it will be perfect though! However, you’ll be pleased to know that next week is a new traitstone! ---

So I went back and ran the numbers on the past 9 troop releases and it seems to be a fixed 8 magic from kingdoms, EXCEPT for this week, where Shadowblade actually has 9. This might be a general average of what players have, or something. 8 would account for 5\* magic kingdoms before Silverglade was introduced, and it’s possible the devs have raised it to 9 to account for a number of people having gotten it to level 10, but are less likely to have 5\* it yet. ---

Sorry… Just looking, that was kinda harsh… But it’s been less than a week since we had blue purple… Apologies for venting at you, you didn’t deserve that… ---

Awesome. I need Spirit stones. 500 can’t possibly be enough, since apparently they are all that matter. Who needs glory when you can’t ever spend it? Looking forward to using them all up…in 2022. ---
