ok so basically if i need swam arcane traitstone for the last trait on my treant, i could farm the first challenge with my best and fastest team (because as @killerman3333 put it you’d need mid-to-endgame player/stats for suggested team) over and over for a variable chance drop after the match of said stones? ---

> [@therealwetwilly](#): > > ok so basically if i need swam arcane traitstone for the last trait on my treant, i could farm the first challenge with my best and fastest team Yes, doing the first challenge in Maugrim Woods would eventually give you a green/blue arcane traitstone. The 3rd challenge there is also about the same difficulty. ---

Ouch. @DonBoba I went through a similar thing with Khaziel trying to trait out Rockworm. Hundreds of challenges with no stones (wasn’t counting) and I finally got the stones I needed from PVP. Go figure. RNGezzus hates us. 👿 ---

> [@peremptor](#): > > No way man nothing beats the dust devils… rest in piece my DDs ☹ Actually, the build can be faster than DDs. Over the course of several matches, the DDs were slightly quicker though and required no thinking. I do prefer the DDs, but this is not much quicker. Also, thanks for sharing the build with me on Steam. I kind of never mentioned that you were the first that told me of this build. xD ---

NP… yeah I’ve been keeping my hero as an archer just because of this… in the right situations fast is the best trait you can have for the hero… if only we could get empowered haha. One thing to keep in mind is that the DDs could do enough damage with 4 casts to clear at least one challenge in all of the kingdoms (sufficiently leveled up and with a good kingdom magic bonus of course), the new method isn’t nearly as universal but it’s the best we got for now. ---
