What happened to Stellarix?

Just want to reinforce what you say here (and shamelessly promote my first hand research… also good knowledge for new players to know).

Back then, we were all over Cursed Gnomes, but the same applies to Dragonite Gnomes.

If you’re going to run GAPs, start a timer at the exact second you craft the GAP. Then you can keep track while sitting in a battle.

Cursed Gnomes

Have to agree with that, if you’re planning on doing this method. I went back and found a topic where some folks were researching the reward reduction with the change in GAP. Seems to me any time over a minute should be safe. Just a follow up to this conversation. I’ve not actually used a GAP since before they made the change to the reward system. What a crying f-ing shame. They really gutted the one good thing they put into this game. And the fact that they won’t tell us specifics… while I…

In conclusion, the way I see it, it just depends on what your focus is:

• If you want to use GAPs to make sure you get full rewards from a single Cursed Gnome:
  Ironhawk E1s until you spot it (almost guaranteed to see one, and you might even get a double!), then wait until GAP ends.

• If you want to maximize your Cursed Gnome rewards during a GAP:
  You must become one with the Gnomes. Control yourself when completing an E12 battle with a Cursed Gnome, to make sure you hit that 1 minute mark. You may be lucky and get more than one battle with a Cursed Gnome before the GAP expires…

• If you want to maximize the number of VKs you get:
  Just blast through GAPs like normal and be okay with missing out on the runes.
