They mentioned in the update notes, that overlaps are possible, especially during the first weeks. > [@7.3 Update: Battlegrounds](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/7-3-update-battlegrounds/82416/1): > > It’s important to note that these groups of players in Leagues are not symmetrical – just because a player is in your group of 30, does not imply you will automatically be in their group of 30. While we are seeding people into Leagues, in the early days of this system, you may find that some players in your group of 30 are actually in a different League to you – this is expected, and should resolve after some time has passed. Even though this quote makes it sound, like the issue is reserved to different tiers, it seems to be possible inbetween individual ladders as well. ---

May I ask how you had so much Dragonite? I have seen so many who crafted all the new dragons already. I dont even have enough to make one of the new weapons that are required. Were you buying it daily with gems? I have averaged about 1 perfect run a month since the beginning and never see a dragonite gnome. Am i just that unlucky? ---

> [@Aragorn1](#): > > I have averaged about 1 perfect run a month since the beginning and never see a dragonite gnome. Am i just that unlucky? That sounds really a bit unlucky. The average chance for a perfect dungeon run should be 10%, so about three per month. Gnomes depend on your activity, obviously. If you play heavily during a Vault weekend, you may encounter a few, and I would say, there’s one in every second 15 minute gnome explore 1 run or so. Getting them outside of special events is rare enough of course (though I feel like cursed gnomes are rarer). ---

I always do low level explores for getting gnomes and for pooper-losers ! I am with you re the dragons carpola. I am one short which could still end up being ANOTHER 6 month slog for the last one - scratching around for 300 gems a day for the dragonite AND 300 a day for Underspire trying to find Sentinels. Arrrrgggghhhhhh ! ---

I was in the fun group at the beginning that tried rooms 1,2 and 3 not knowing that was an impossible combination. I think it took me like 3 months to get my first perfect run. My last perfect run was a month ago and before that one it was 73 days. I always stick with the same 3 rooms until it hits because to me choosing 3 at random would be the worst case statistical decision. However, sticking with the same 3 every day has gotten me nowhere. I only Diamnatina a couple of weeks ago. Nkt because of bad luck with eggs, but just a total lack of dragonite to get it ---

I’ve been tracking all my dungeon battles for the last 246 days. Before that I too always chose combination 123. During those 246 days, that combination appeared only 17 times or 6.9%. I’ve been choosing different combinations and got until now 29 perfect runs. A little above 10%. Got weird results including some repeating combinations 3 days in a row. I could surely say it’s RNG, but the 10% chance will only be correct if you play an inifinite amount of battles. Until then, you can always get a combination happening 0 times during a month and others happening 5-6 times. If you change your combination you might have a better chance. ---

> [@TheIdleOne](#): > > I guess the play is to complete pvp goals per week and then once every month, farm up to 20,000 VP and spend gold marks? Hey there, just want to correct you. You only need 6.5k per week. The 20K you need for the shop are per season, they do Not reset after one week. So as long as a season lasts longer then 4 weeks, hitting 6.5k is all you need to craft 3 books. I suppose they are also limited to 3 per season not week. But I am not sure yet… They do mention on the website to unlock all purchases in the pvp shop might take a few weeks. ---

> [@Ash3nShad3](#): > > Speaking of money am I correct that one can purchase the 50 Gold Marks in the Premium shop once a day and then get one book every two days with that? ( I think it is limited to either 3 books per week or 3 per season, the latter seeming more likely. We don’t know how long or short season are but I thought they might be like a campaign or less. ---

I stopped buying the Dragonite a long time ago, I’d like to say a year, but I may be wrong. I won’t broadcast how I got it, look me up on Discord and I can tell you. I don’t give devs any tips to implement blockades anymore. Since they introduced all the gem sinks for us all, I’m done with that. I don’t even do Dungeon - missed it many times and I might get 1 perfect run every 2 months. Anything to reduce play time to keep playing these days. ---

New update? There is already too much to do in this game. Once upon a time this was a simple match 3 game with cards that was super addictive. I suppose it’s the natural progression of any game, but I’m not even going to bother with new dragon eggs, PVP or anything else with this update. There is plenty to do already for the casual player. ---

I know it says tailsmen are collectable, but for clarification on that… Did it mean they roll over each week. Collectable like medals. ---

[Edit: Ignore my nonsense here please] By the way, a short note to those, who are talking about books from the Pvp shop here: My shop offers don’t have those (I got imperial deeds, cursed runes and dragonite), so be prepared, that those things cycle in and out with every week. ---

Oh, did not notice the scrollbar on the bottom. Usually I would expect those above the icons, not below. Nasty layout, nasty icons, that match up exactly with the screen instead of hinting for more, as in the normal shop. Thank you, you’re right about it. ---

> [@Tacet](#): > > Took 27 dragons for me to finish the gem dragons, but got a perfect 6 sweep on the celestial dragons. If you combine them, you’re technically only slightly below average (16.5 eggs per set). Still. > [@Ash3nShad3](#): > > But I am telling you it is rigged. Remember when the Boss Dungeon launched and it was determined how certain rooms would never appear behind certain doors? That’s the kind of information you’d need to back up a claim like that. Maybe try logging your own stats for a while? If even _you_ can’t convince yourself, nobody else can either. (Not saying people don’t have _some_ right to believe what they want, but we can at least evaluate if you picked a good hill to die on.) ---

​It would be nice if you got the 5 fights for silver marks it takes you back to map similar to doing and explore run makes you reset. ---

I’m not enjoying the fact that VP gained is based on the opponent’s level. The more you play, the more you’re punished. 👏 Most of my battles are less than 70. 🫥 [Previous page](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/update-7-3-battlegrounds-is-live/82495.md?page=3) [Next page](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/update-7-3-battlegrounds-is-live/82495.md?page=5)
