Nope. Difficulty doesn’t change anything. I had a run last week of almost 200 matches without an arcane or celestial. Last night bouncing between Mist of Scales, Broken Spire, and Maugrim Woods, I got 4 in 7 matches. ---

@KruderTheHorse, > [@PC/Steam: New Version (mini update) 2.0.106](http://community.gemsofwar.com/t/pc-steam-new-version-mini-update-2-0-106/9619/9): > > No - traitstone droprate was once affected by difficulty (pre 1.0.9 I think, where it was 70% + 5% per difficulty level), but we bumped it up to 100% on all difficulty levels a while back. The quality of the traitstone has never been affected by difficulty. ---

Yes. I usually do everything on Normal now since I’m not hurting for resources. I can fly through matches using teams like: Templar / Valk / Mercy / Rowanne Naga Queen / Valk / Mercy / Bul Tauros A couple of 4 or 5-matches and then fire off the AOE. ---

> [@Gortus](#): > > Side note, @Lyya: Drilling down via the “Troops” link by each arcane stone on the kingdom table provides a list of troops of that stone’s color, not a list of troops that use that stone. Mythics are excluded (as are hero classes, which arguably aren’t troops). > > It makes sense since for example Death is not a blue/purple troops, but it does mean that to see what uses a given stone I have to go to [🔥 Troop List per Arcane Stone (Ended: 16.07.18, Reason: Lack of interests) - #73 by Tellah](http://community.gemsofwar.com/t/list-of-troops-per-arcane-stone-mythics-classes/3988/73) instead of the preferred ashtender. Necro, but this is finally fixed. Clicking the “(Troops)” link in the kingdom table will now bring you to the troops table, filtered by all troops that actually use that stone (and not just those colors; this was broken for Mythics). Additionally, the link will work for other languages now as well. I did say “eventually,” right? 🙂 [Previous page](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/where-to-farm-arcane-dark/11528.md?page=1)
