Lol… Second week without the @Saltypatra one. Evidently she had big shoes to fill.
No question. Though even she had some blind spots. 
No tiers or board resetting. optimal approach when maxing score: avoid Florian…
sorted
- Fountain of Stars: 20 Fey Lanterns
- Shimmerscale: 12 Fey Lanterns
- Tinseltail: 12 Fey Lanterns
- Glitterclaw: 12 Fey Lanterns
- Old Man Oakroot: 10 Fey Lanterns
- Florian: 6 Fey Lanterns
These troops is seriously killing me, just seeing that them entering the game even in late 2021 shows us that ZERO EFFORT IS PUT INTO THIS.
Create 8 Green Gems and 8 Red Gems “and set up the board for the CPU”, then lose the game.
To be fair, this one is at least not an entirely unannounced change players had absolutely no chance knowing of.
Same goes for Tarot cards: we (forum/discord/stream folk) may know about it, but their actual product is selling something else based on in-game info.
This would be nice, simple, logical scoring if they’d just made Shimmerscale score 10 not 12. So close.
Wow, still no official post. Must be the day the devs do not check forum
They are still hiding due to the event chest fiasco that cheated players out of the Arachnean Weaver they tried to pull.
Indeed, the hiding policy seems to regrettably have been passed on to the new generation of Mods.

To be fair, it’s probably not their fault. I assume they were told to stop thinking of players as anything other than talking wallets that are best ignored if you want to max out profits 
It’d not do hard to remember this week.
Anything that’s shiny is worth the most - stars, shimmer, glitter, tinsel. Mythic the highest, rest the same.
Other two are rarity order.
Lowest difficulty.
We had way worse ones. Way, way worse…
How often do we really see creative new troop ideas, anyhow? It’s not like this is a new spell archetype; there are plenty of troops that create 8 gems of two different colors and have some other effect as well.
Lady Estelle has some utility in this week’s World Event, assuming she doens’t set up the board for the CPU. And she might be annoying in Explore mode. But otherwise she’ll likely be consigned to the same dust heap that contains 90+% of other newly released troops because people just won’t use her.
Still no official news thread for this?
At this point, not much reason to have an official post. May as well keep all event chatter in this one thread.
They also need an “End of Campaign” post, though
Hey all,
This is an issue with the software that posts from our blogs to the forums. As on the blog site it is showing it has posted, but appears to not connecting the Forums.
Thought this had been resolved last week when this occurred. Thanks @Graeme for grabbing the blog.
I’ll share it below as well. Apologies again everyone, I’ll have a dig around and see what the go is.

WISH UPON A STAR
New Epic Troop: Lady Estelle
Lady Estelle will be available this week for 400 Glory in the shop as well as in Event Chests, and will appear in Glory, Gem, and Guild chests in 3-4 weeks’ time.
World Event: Festival of Stars
There are 6 battles that players can encounter during the event: Florian, Old Man Oakroot, Shimmerscale, Tinseltail, Glitterclaw, and Fountain of Stars. The battles are randomly chosen, but they all have an equal chance of appearing on the map.
Scoring
You can find the following rewards for each of the different battles you may encounter.
- Florian: 6 Fey Lanterns
- Old Man Oakroot: 10 Fey Lanterns
- Shimmerscale: 12 Fey Lanterns
- Tinseltail: 12 Fey Lanterns

Each Fey Lantern is worth 5 points.
