Couldn’t see a drop-rate thread for battles/farming…hoping a few people can post their stats so that we may form a sound estimate for the drop-rates. \*\* Be sure to include both Difficulty and Location (Arena/Challenge/PvP) \*\* At _Warlord II_ difficulty, with 20 _Challenge_ battles: 2 Nothing (10%) 11 Minor (55%) 5 Major (25%) 2 Runic (10%) 0 Arcane 0 Celestial At _Normal_ difficulty, with 20 _PvP_ battles: 3 Nothing (15%) 13 Minor (65%) 3 Major (15%) 1 Runic (5%) 0 Arcane 0 Celestial ---

I received an Arcane and two Celestial stones tonight with my pvp battles. I think I did 25 or 30 battles but did not keep track. I will tomorrow night though and repost. The rest were probably around the normal difficulty numbers. ---

Good idea. I will keep track of it in future battles. ---

I’ve found all difficulties to give about the same. I was running Warlord 3 to farm a non-pvp match a couple 100 times from a kingdom that I need its epic traitstone and got seemingly the same drop rates as hard on pvp. I didn’t keep track of all stones accumulated, but from those 100ish I only got 1 epic and 1 legendary traitstone. ---

I think they said higher difficulties decrease the rate of _not_ getting any traitstones. I assume the chances what traitstone you get (if you get one) are the same. ---

> [@Pasa](#): > > Was it fun or we can call it a mindless grind? It was decently fun. Each match was only 1-3 minutes, so it went pretty quick. True Shot just one shots everything in most AI matches, particularly that of Khetar. Precious Karakoth traitstones can be obtained here for an attempt at +1 magic. ---

Every purple surge puts skeleton to full. Each Skeleton cast kills 1-2 and each Bone Dragon 3-4. Any magic linking troop can be last slot. Any true shot troop can be first slot, but Glade Warden is the tankiest of them plus has some board manipulation. ---

10 battles 5 minor 0 major 0 runic 2 arcane 1 celestial Thus forth i shall be known as Mr. Statistical outlier! 🕶 But i think the drop rates are pretty random,i’ve gone an entire day before without getting more than a couple runics ---

18 battles on w.plains, only minors/majors. edit: Since then finished all the challenges (35) and played a dozen more – overall got 1 runic. ---

Has it been proven you can get traitstones from challenges? ---

yes it has and you can repeat challenges to get trait stones ---

Yes - you can get traitstones from Challenges. From memory, I played about 50 battles in Whitehelm to get the Arcane Summer Traitstone which my Centaur needed for his third trait (True Shot). I usually take a double-valkyrie & celestial approach to ensure I get 100 souls per match also. First & last characters change depending on the kingdom the battle is taking place, but normally a traited serpent or traited Gryphon will be in position 1 as they help mana-up the valkyrie. ---

So - 20 pvp battles - 16 invades 4 defends 20 wins. Normal difficulty. 5 Minor Water 4 Minor Wind 1 Minor Magic 1 Minor Fire 1 Minor Earth 1 Minor Nature 1 Major Fire 1 Major Magic 1 Major Nature 1 Runic Magic 1 Runic Wind 1 Runic Water I had one battle that gave no traitstone out of the 20. I think I was extremely lucky to only have one. And I ran into two different single troop teams - one Rockworm and one Pride Hunter. No Arcane or Celestial like last night but when I got those I was up to about 40 or 45 battles. Looking at my trophy count I did more than the 25 or 30 I thought I did when I posted earlier. Happy number crunching. 🕶 ---

Another twenty successful invades and finally . . . one celestial traitstone. Just fyi. ---

> [@Machiknight](#): > > Has it been proven you can get traitstones from challenges? yep i can confirm. So as far as drop rates I didn’t track the other stuff and I don’t know how many battles total if anybody does off hand but I completed quest lines for pans vale, maugrin woods, khaziel, khetar, forst of thorns, zhul’kari since the 1.08 change. I received 3 celestial from doing those. Lots of major and minor runic and some arcane. I’d guess 20ish fights per kingdom but I don’t know exact numbers. Difficulty setting was hard. ---

I’m also curious if the drop rates is the same for challenges as it is for PvP. We might all be farming challenges for traitstones instead of xp now! ---

I actually have done that a bit! Been to the Anbush challenge in Pans Vale to harvest yellow and green stones. Runics will drop at times but I only had one Y/G Arcane drop from the challenge 😕 ---

i can confirm that celestial trait stones drop during challenges but at a very low rate. [Next page](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/traitstone-drop-rates/2482.md?page=2)
