Here’s the results of just a little bit of searching:

I had an idea for a new minigame for one of the kingdoms , which I thought could be good fun.
It would basically be a gambling machine of some sort, like a one-armed bandit or something. Where you can win traitstones.
You would put in one of your existing traitstones and pay gold to have a spin, with a chance of winning multiple copies of the traitstone that you put in. This could be overpowered as a device for farming traitstones, so it would have to cost a fair amount of g…
Players need certain hard-to-obtain traitstones badly. I propose a minigame in Khaziel to craft them.
Cost of entry: Gold, plus up to 10 traitstones (any color) deposited into a hopper. Rarity determines number of turns you’ll get: Minor = 0.5, major = 0.9, runic = 1.6, arcane = 3, celestial = 5; the total is rounded up.
Gameplay: You’re presented with a field of rocks of all six colors plus gray, and a limited number of turns like the treasure hunt. Also like the treasure hunt, you get turn b…
Since Pirates do a lot of shady stuff and they have their own market (black market), why not add one for the Pirate kingdom?
Buy or Sell Traitstones -
Minor - 5,000 gold each or 100 glory each or 20 gems each
Major - 10,000 gold each or 200 glory each or 40 gems each
Runic - 20,000 gold each or 400 glory each or 80 gems each
Arcane - 50,000 gold each or 800 glory each or 160 gems each
Celestial - 100,000 gold each or 1600 glory each or 320 gems each
sell price being half the worth of buyi…
So I posted last week about some frustrations, had some people agree and some not.
But what most people seemed to agree on what how crappy the arcane traitstone droprate is, so I have an idea. It’s in the crafting vein, but not totally. I call it the arcane blender.
The idea is this - Put arcane stones into a blender, and get different ones at the end.
For example, stick in a summer (2 x yellow) and rage (2 x red), ‘blend’ them, and you get 2 x Lava (or whatever the yellow/red combo is, can’t…
Now runesmith is available on xbox so why not give him a job at Khaziel?
Okay, I know I’m not going to make friends with this post, but here it goes.
I currently have hundreds of unused minor and major traitstones (except for the minor fire ones).
I would like to combine them into larger traitstone…
Is that in the plan/work? If not, can it be?
Soooooo, this has been talked about, before–even requested, before. But, in the threads I read, there were some kinda pie-in-the-sky numbers listed that probably didn’t appeal to devs who want to keep players playing (and spending money).
My idea is just a twist on what’s been previously discussed–allow players to ascend/craft gems out of others, but make it somewhat cost-punitive to balance things out and encourage continued grinding/farming/purchasing.
Now, for an example:
I’ve been grindi…
Any else for ability to fuse traitstone to the next level? Live 10 minors for a Major. 10 Majors for a Runic. 20 Runics for Arcane (10 of each color). Celestial would be one of each Arcane Traitstone?
With Minor and Major Traitstones piling up for most people, requesting a stones ascension page for Minor and Major Traitstones to be ‘ascended’ to a higher rarity as troops are done. For example:-
• 10x Minor stones to create a Major
• 25x Major stones to create a Runic
This can then be taken further to Runic Stone colour blending to create an Arcane. A total of 20 Runic Stones (as Runic Stones would be easier to come by) to create one Arcane Traitstone. For example:-
• 10x Runic Fire + 10x …
Have ideas ever been discussed for a system where lower traitstones are spent/sacrificed to become higher level ones? i.e X minor traitstones become 1 major, major > runic, runic > arcane? Would really help balance the crazy amount of major traitstones.
So it’s not like this sort of idea hasn’t occurred to people before.
They add new troops on a weekly basis, so it’s not like those traitstones will never have a use. And considering the randomness of the drops, I find it unlikely that the inefficiency of having things you don’t need, while not having enough of the things you want, is unintentional. Players always want things that allow them to maximize their efficiency, options to trade low-value resources for high-value ones, but it should be obvious that it’s not generally in the developer’s interest to provide that.
