New week, new Event Pack available on consoles! Can someone kindly list what’s in this week’s bundle? Thanks to TaliaParks in [this thread](http://community.gemsofwar.com/t/whats-the-console-event-troop-for-this-week/5533/9), in the third week we had The Salamander. I’d like to keep this thread up to date by the week… even if I can’t immediately update the OP as soon as the new Pack goes live. Hope we can help each other out by listing the pack contents and any Special deals when they do appear. Sounds good? Especially for those of us at work.

Excellent point about adding the Kingdom for this event. Thank you Talia. I’ll update it right away ☝ EDIT: I love gem transformer troops. Back when I was trying to figure out whether the free goblin would work well in my team build, I often wished we had a troop that could selectively change the board to green. And now we have one ;😉 ---

Ah… Green Seer was first presented with a weapon bundle when it came out on PC/Mobile. What’s inside the weapon pack for $4.99 this week (April 19 to 25th)? ---

Hello Everyone, I have a question, in this new update, the events talk about weapons, but is the only way to get them by purchasing the bundles? Is there no way to get legendary or epic weapons without paying? It’s really hard to pay for them, because the exchange rate for the dollar in my country is really high. ---

Actually some of the weapons mentioned require 40 mastery points in multiple colors. ---

There is also at least one weapon per color combination at Mastery Level 40, so players who level their Masteries equally (like I did) got a whole whack of weapons within a few levels as each Mastery hit 40. ---

> [@zyx](#): > > in this new update, the events talk about weapons, but is the only way to get them by purchasing the bundles? Is there no way to get legendary or epic weapons without paying? In addition to receiving weapons by levelling up your mana masteries, we have received both epic and legendary weapons in the past by purchasing them with Glory. If the console version follows along with the PC/mobile lead, as new weapons of that type are released, most likely they will also be available for glory. The news you read onscreen in this week’s Event update (sorry I have no idea what this event week is called), talk about a new weapon. I believe it’s referring to this one: ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/2X/e/e7272c38d74f839ec32d59b37c0f9900359d8871.jpg) Week of April 19th to 25th, 2016 ---

Well this week’s pack is somewhat disappointing. At least for me. I’m glad to get Hobgoblin, but I was hoping for a new Arcane Traitstone. Sigh. ---

Here’s the Goblin-themed weapon special for this week: ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/2X/b/ba9b79cabf5c1b55ecd208686ba29990726e9f16.jpg) Week of April 26th to May 2nd, 2016 ---

> [@Testr](#): > > I’m glad to get Hobgoblin, but I was hoping for a new Arcane Traitstone. Sigh. I like how Mr Strange explained this topic over [here](http://community.gemsofwar.com/t/arcane-beast-stones-again/6039/20), that Pipeworks’ main release priority is to provide new troops for kingdoms with only 6 troops, and to release troops which were very popular on PC/mobile side. I can attest that early on, back in November, I was certainly looking forward to seeing Hobgoblin while building my first teams. And we can always use more Beast traitstones (red/green). Eika’s neat [List of troops per Arcane stone](http://community.gemsofwar.com/t/list-of-troops-per-arcane-stone/3988) suggests that Hobgoblin may only need ~~2~~ 3 of those arcanes to get traited, whereas Salamander, Scarlett, Sylvasi, and GloomLeaf need at least six times as many Beast stones. You’ll be looking for more of these Arcane colours…eventually! ---

Hi, Hobgoblin arcane cost has now been changed to 3, looks like it went a bit fast in the swings when I added the number of arcane stones needed for each troop, Thanks for letting me know! 🙂 ---

maybe adding a total needed (as of now) arcane stones wouldbe helpful… I know its simple math but would be nice not to have to add it every week i look at your list. ---

> [@Theicla](#): > > And we can always use more Beast traitstones (red/green). I can’t. I fully traited Gloom Leaf the last time we had this traitstone, and that’s the only troop I care about that uses it. It is disappointing to get traitstone repeats so soon after they were introduced.
