Snatching the Hermes Zebra

Hey guys, so as you know, the Wartune system is one big lottery - some can open hundreds of boxes and not get the top prize and others can open a few boxes and get lucky and grab it. There are many different types of boxes being thrown around in the game; way too many types I think - I miss simple events and most of all I am in dire need of inventory space - need like 10 extra pages please...

So with the exception of the nice Clown Bowtie box where there are 3 mounts and 24 good luck charms to exchange for, I am opening all other boxes. The exchanges are nice and safe, but there is a saying that the one that does not take any risk never drink champagne :) and, anyhow, the box openings, although most of the time give little things, do give out decent items even if they don't give the top prizes. The other day I got 300 sepulcrum for example which was very nice. As a free mentality player I also like getting Divinity Souls and, of course, the Coins of Ancestry, although in past weeks I haven't gotten any of those.

Snatching the Hermes Zebra Card

Anyhow, with all that introduction to this post, I actually wanted to share some good news that I just opened just 3 Clown Cakes and inside one of them was the Hermes Zebra Card!

Here is me mounting it:

Here is the mount stats and the Clown Cake box info:

 

Conclusion / Recommendation

So like we recommended before, if you see some real nice exchange like the 10 boxes for 24 good luck charms or a sure exchange for a mount for around 40-100 boxes then go for it because you know 100% that you will be a winner. Otherwise, if those things are missing just open all the chests and don't stress about it, if you keep doing it sooner or later you are bound to win something nice. Good luck to everyone and if you also got this mount put it down in the comments below! :)

35k BR Grabs #2 Position in Cross Server PvP Rankings

Hey guys, a small fun post to congratulate an achievement of a small Wartune hero, with just 35k BR (actually 34,634)  @ level 44 called keepDF, who achieved the #2 position in the Cross Server PvP Rankings, just below the powerful Ashira :P

And this goes in the face of those people who say that you can't enjoy Wartune unless you are rich or whatever. Clearly keepDF has created a whole lot of fun for himself and reached an impressively high ranking while having a very humble, and 100% free, character.

Cosmos’s Persian Cat & Level 10 Goddess

Hey guys, I had 2 achievements today and I am sharing them with you :) and also wishing you success to get them yourself! My 2 big achievements today is one lucky achievement of getting the Persian Cat mount from the first 5 boxes I got and the second one is a deserved achievement of reaching level 10 finally on my Goddess astral, which costed 460,000 astral experience or roughly 230 million gold.

Cosmos's Persian Cat :)

Cosmos's Level 10 Goddess

With few astral slot refinements it's giving a 33% damage reduction:

Mad Battle Protection of Top People

Hey guys, if you might be proud of your Battle Protection (like sometimes I am :P), I have a screenshot to show you how far you are from the best :) hehe. I, on purpose, did not mention who this person is in Wartune, because I am not sure if he wants that (and it does not really matter), but he is one of the current top people of Class Wars. Thanks to Cherioos for the screenshot.

So check it out:

Mad Battle Protection of Top People

Atoll Boss Night Run 1 party 100%

Hey guys, wanted to share with you our "night run" on the Atoll Boss, which took about 90 minutes for that 582 million HP boss, but our party was the only one out there so we got 100% of the HP and therefore the gold and Vulcan's Stove rewards were 19.1 million and 49.

This is fun to do sometimes (i do this very rarely), though I cannot recommend this to anyone because your quality of sleep is much more important than wasting a part of the night on hitting the Atoll Boss for 90 minutes :)

That said, the rewards were great and for the "fanatic"-type of players who do this every 6 hours they are clearly miles ahead of any "normal" player. I personally don't like the Atoll Boss feature because it does not bring me any fun and it promotes botting and the increase of the GAP between low and high BRs.

30+ million gold / daru World Boss income

Hey guys, here a short post to share some crazy World Boss income in Wartune of more than 30 million gold and daru. Imagine earning that on every World Boss!! :) lol

To achieve something like that you have to be really strong (this picture is from Atroxia archer BR 624k post-sylph BR increase patch) and of course it also matters how active your server is - the less people the more income for the World Boss participants.

Let's compare

That said, just to put things in perspective let's compare with a few other numbers. I do World Boss on AFK mode with about 75k+ PATK (and 315k BR) and that gets me something like 3 to 3.5 million gold on my server. If I would take control manually then I suppose I could move it up to 4 to 4.5 mil.

The top ranks (1-3) on my server earn about 8-9 million gold and daru.

So clearly 30+ million is exceptional. Oh and also to be more clear here below was the chat message showing that this income is due to 13.49% of damage done on World Boss.

UPDATE:

Just additional information from Atroxia that this kind of income is impossible if you don't pay balens for power ups and also for reviving between battles.

Astral Strategies and my First Level 10 Orange Astral in Wartune

Hey guys, I finally achieved my first level 10 Orange astral in Wartune after 2 years of playing :) as 99.9% non-casher (which is why it took so long) + a knight (archer would get it faster).

This madness, requiring over 900,000 astral experience points, costs, roughly counting 450 million gold, but as long as you keep at it adding a little bit every day it adds up finally.

Also to Share Astral Strategies / Tips

Although I'm sure you are happy for me and wish me well :) I am not posting just about my achievement but also want to give some tips / strategy related to it.

This astral which I maxed out (there is no red version for % astrals) is the Determination astral bringing it to a 50% boost in critical damage and this is also what I suggest you to do first before any other astral (assuming that you are "crit build"), because this will directly increase your World Boss income (and, of course, make you perform better in other events / dungeons).

The effect is a lot bigger than increasing crit astral (especially for WB crit is maxed at a lower level, so you can't increase income with that) or attack astral, which does increase your income but not by as much as an additional 5% like Determination.

Never Upgrade to Level 10 These:

On the other side there are astrals which you should be using but should never upgrade to level 10. These are astrals like Regeneration and Deflection. Not only a level 10 is almost meaningless, but you probably don't even want to go higher than level 7 or 8 at most.

This is because the effect of healing or damage of 50,000 is limited to that amount, which, especially for players above 200,000 battle rating is very easy to reach even with the most basic attacks at level 7 (70% of damage). Actually as people are getting stronger and stronger than you will need lower and lower level of these astrals to get the full effect.

Astral Slot Upgrade Tips

When upgrading your astral slots there are 2 things I want to share which are super useful if you don't know them.

1) The upgrade is applied to the specific astral slot and not the astral itself. This means you can move astrals around without a problem and choose which one to apply the upgrade to.

2) Some astrals benefit from this hugely while others' benefit is negligible. For example 1 astral slot upgrade level is already a good improvement for something like Illusion astral, but will only give a few extra, almost meaningless, points to a crit astral. So make sure you put astrals like Illusion, Goddess and Determination on your highest astral slots. Definitely do not waste an upgrade slot on something like Regeneration / Deflection because 70% of damage or 73% of damage is basically the same thing.

Rono & Team beat Spire + Tips

Hey guys, I want to share with you pictures and tips from Rono (Edited by me) and his team who completed all Spire stages, so thanks to Rono for sharing his knowledge and hope you find it useful:
_____

My team composition is 2 Archers, 1 Mage and 1 Knight.

My team's battle ratings are as follows (please take into account we all use Warrior Call, guild shop pots and few attack scrolls):

Zoieraptor	363k	pet Hercules 4 star purple	74k maxed
Rono	384k	pet Cerebus  4 star purple	74k maxed
hopsi	309k	pet Hercules 2 star purple	41k
Enigma	301k	pet Hercules 2 star purple	39k

Maybe obvious to say, but anytime you use Vulcan always do it after you are in pet (sylph) mode.

Special advice for boss 15: after stun try to save pet for 16 then use pet for 16, 17 if possible as there is no spell / skill CD (cool-down) like LL NM.

Tips for Beating Spire

1. Depending on your team's attack you need to have around 6 Vulcans to successfully beat Spire (more or less depends on your Battle Ratings). We completed the task with with 5 Vulcans on 3 of us and 4 Vulcans on the last team member,

2. You need to reach the Angel boss without using Vulcan.

3. At the Angel boss there are 2 choices: Go with Vulcan on all players after stun or 1 player goes at start initially (tank or front row player suggested) and then 3 go after stun.

4. Knight or tank should go slow on turns allowing mage to puri or heal.

5. For bosses 22, 23 and 24 put Apollo and Incendiary after 2 hits from boss.

6. Try to Vulcan as soon a possible for bosses at 22, 23 and 24. This allows you to go Vulcan a 2nd time if required.

7. Boss 22 seems to target random and low HP players, 23 does 2 hits front then random. 24 is the hardest, very high attack and 2 hits front then 1 random then Delphic.

Hope this helps you. If you have any specific question please ask in the comments below the post. The pictures below can be enlarged by clicking on them.

Lucky with 4 Mounts

Hey guys, as you know Wartune is a bit of a casino when it comes to prizes, so some people can suffer for years while others can get hugely lucky. It is not a system I would use myself if I was the boss, but it is what it is - anyways, few minutes ago we had someone being really lucky getting 4 mounts from ~230 boxes which you can see on the picture below. Big congratulations to the player, good for him!, and good luck to everyone else!

Cane the Grim Reaper 10000 BG Kills

Hey guys, how far are you from the Grim Reaper Title? Cane, from Kabam S3 US East, covered in blood, reached the mad milestone of 10,000 Battleground Kills and here we share with you the screenshots showing off the very rare new title and his stats as well.

Digging online I found that this was achieved on the lower levels in May 2013 by dimi2 at level 39:

The Level 64 Monster and Massive Battleground Kills

Hey guys, got 2 screenshots to share with you. Just below this one is about massive kills in the Battleground, but first up is Jeromie - the level 64 monster player :) who is smashing a near 200k battle rating at the level 64 - that's like my BR right now :P but he has it on level 64. Oh the power :) hehe

...and in other news I got a screenshot from "dominator25" with his non-VIP amazing job in the battleground smashing 57 kills in 1 BG event :)
(bear in mind that this is much more possible to do on lower level Battleground than on high levels)

9.1 million gold Sylph Atoll Boss

Hey guys, so with this crazy Defend Sylph Atoll event we have a boss spawn at 2 am at night / morning and, for whatever reason, some of us were online and participating in this madness. Why madness? Because it took 2.5 hours to kill the boss with like 8-10 people... my team was ranked 2nd with 21.61% of damage (half the time was only just me and Ip) and the #1 position was taken by Grey's team which did:

• 63.47% of the total damage
• 546 million points
• 9.1 million gold earned
• 31 Vulcan's Stoves
• etc - see picture below:

Oh the bad thing was also that due to lack of participating people the treasure chest was not awarded to anyone.

Day of Records for Cosmos

Hey guys, just sharing a couple of records I had on on my COSMOS Knight, which was all pretty cool and crazy at the same time.

First up, I gathered 232,837 Soul Crystals from the ~60k Whips I trained (all non-casher style :P). This is nuts really - I had major problems with bag space with all the new items and even though now Soul Crystals stack to 9999. I can't even imagine how we were going to handle this with the 999 stack size.

Then, due to the same event I had a record number of gems. Unfortunately due to a technical problem I lost the top part of the picture, so 1 line of gems I think you can't see, but looking at the rest you see what a bit amount of gems that is to have. Due to bag space issues I have already synthesized all the lower level gems into level 3. From ~60k whips I trained that's 24,000 gem packs! And I just published the 3rd Version of the 1-3 Gem Packs including the breakdown by gem type so if you wanna see that go here.

And lastly, after 2 years of playing 100% free and at the end 99% free, I managed to get the #1 position in the guild battle, which is super awesome for COSMOS Knight as knights are already disadvantaged hugely. But of course I know that this was a very lucky occurrence because it just means that our top damage dealers were not there, so although I don't really deserve the position I am super happy to be able to have it 1 time. There is also a title you can get if you are 10 times successful in holding the #1 position, so now it shows 1 out of 10 for me - 9 to go LOL! :)

2.35 Million Gold and Daru WB 1 Round

Hey guys, prepare your drooling mouths ^^ because here is the earnings from 1 round of World Boss from a 250k BR archer, Paparass, 2.35 million gold and daru!

1 Round, of course, is not a regular round as for most people but includes, in this case probably at least 2 WB ultimate attack survivals. For those who need tips on how to survive World Boss attacks search my 2 articles about that.

Thanks to Papa for the screenshot, I prepared the below image from it with the key points highlighted. Enjoy :)

Update 1: Papa managed to get 2.8 million:

Update 2: 

I received comments of people earning up to almost 15 million! WooooW! :) asked for screenshots - will post if/when i get em.

Update 3: 

Screenshot of 14.5 million gold daru WB Thethrell - I think this is a full round from start to finish without any deaths.

Banned from R2 Forums

Hey guys, so our dear friend R2Games a.k.a. Reality Squared Games banned my forum account even though I spent 2 years promoting Wartune and putting money in their pockets. And do you know how much they supported me? I didn't even get 1 dollar from them or any kind of support whatsoever - no support with images, information, anything at all to help with the blog/videos and promoting their game and making them more and more rich.

And for those people who were asking me before, I could not answer, it was them who censored my forum links and threatened me to remove my blog post about the auto clicker, which I did and they, temporarily cancelled their censoring. But this time they didn't even message me, they just outright banned my account.

So they allow auto-playing / auto-farming bots, multiple accounts feeding into 1 account, cheating VIP players by not giving them full points from 1-click-capture, not adding a collect all button and torturing people to click buttons for thousands of times, not supporting honest people who are promoting Wartune, but I create a basic simple click repeater tool and they ban me!

On top of banning my forum account they also censored all my signatures / links of all the effort made in the last 2 years.

R2Games Forum Censorship

So if you contribute years in the forum and 1 day say something, which they think is wrong they will remove all references of your name, your blog/website and anything to do with you from all the posts where you contributed during all your time. Here are examples:

R2 removed my name "Cosmos" which is not even a link and removed all reference links to the source article

They removed my signature from any post that had it.

And finally the ban message:

Everyone knows that simple auto-clickers / repeat-clickers are not an issue! They simply remove the stress from players having to click thousands of times the same darn button(s). They don't give you any game advantages other than reducing stress and torture from you! The vast majority of top players are using them because no person in their right mind is going to click 30,000 times the same button - if you do that then you do not respect yourself and you literally waste your life by complete idiocy!

My Conclusion on this issue

(1)
I believe, based on what I explained above, that this action by R2 Games is hugely unfair. This action also questions my feeling of safety regarding my and everyone else's accounts. This means that some day, if they feel like it, they can ban accounts and there is nothing you can do about it.

Consequently, caring for all the thousands of my fans and followers - think twice before you put your money into your account, because one day you might be banned and left looking like a fool.

(2)
Will there be damage to me from their ban? Ya, I think so. Not only I lose all the references / sources which were quoting my work and contribution to Wartune and players over the years, but also nobody else will be able to speak about me on the R2 Forums. If anyone speaks about me or my blog or website they will censor it out.

So if there are people out there who want to support me as I continue my Wartune work you can become my Patron, even if its 1 dollar per month every amount helps. For the explanation you can click HERE or to go to my patron page you can click HERE.

11239 PvP points in the Cross-Server Battleground and Arena

Hey guys, a little fun and a challenge to everyone - can you beat 11239 PvP points in the Cross-Server Battleground and Arena? That's how many points Rodio managed to earn, which is a huge amount :) hehe

So let's have a fun challenge and if anyone can beat his record then email me your screenshot and I will post it here :)

This score was coming from an average of 29 Arena wins per day and an average of 72 Battleground Kills a day (rough numbers). These are of course impressive stats and it is interesting to see what someone can accomplish if they put their mind to it :)

Winner of 12,000 Glory Crystals

Hey guys, here a short post to share with you the happiness of Nyalifali from S49 who managed to guess the correct Wager for Class Wars and win 12,000 Glory Crystals, which is, of course, awesome!! Congratulations Nyalifali and happy shopping spree in the Glory Shop!! ^^

Reached 4000 Subscribers!!

Hey guys, I just reached 4000 subscribers on YouTube!! Thanks to everyone who supported me and everyone who is subscribed to DolyGames! :)

Wartune is still developing, changing, adding more content / features, so we keep on having fun and DolyGames Team will keep on bringing you guys awesome content via blog posts and videos :)

At the same time my Knight became Lord Divine - which is a huge achievement given that it was all done via Guild Battles and not a single Battleground fight, at least in the last 6+ months if not 1 year. And also just 30 minutes ago my Knight scores his biggest damage against a Spire level 13 boss hitting him with a record 800,000 damage with Gaia crit delphic on brutality, vulcan and a little bit of unstable voltage, which was awesome!

And also, at the same time, my mage surpasses 100k BR at level 64 without a medallion, wearing still the 50 set and with academy 185%. My mage says "Whasuuuuup" to everyone who is following him :)

DanteMugetsu's Success, Class Wars and Tips

Hey guys, Dante sent me some pictures so here I share with everyone since he is one of the top guys and I will add a few words / tips with each.

First up congrats to Dante for getting the Podium spot! A lot of people might not realize - the competition among the top players is fierce, and it is not so easy to be the top guy, both in the time invested into playing the game as well as cash investments. It's a battle of wits, determination and wallets :)

This picture I like more because it's Dante standing next to his own statue which is really cool I think :)
It is also nice to see because 99% of Wartune players will not be able to do this themselves.

Next up is a very nice Class Wars Wager  winning picture. Actually this is the first one I see because mostly all my wagers on my casher mage account failed so I am more used to the failed picture. 9947 Glory Crystals reward here for Dante - really nice, congratulations again! But advice to other players - gambling is not a healthy road to success and should be done by people who don't mind to lose what they put in, because with that mindset you enjoy your time no matter if you win or lose.
Gz again! :)

And then a picture of Dante and his team beating the Spire. Small reminder that our top level for Spire is level 20. In the future we will have higher levels, but for now this is the top for the Western Wartune. Like with the podium picture, also 95%-99% of all players of Wartune will probably not reach this, so it is wonderful to see the picture and congratulate those who are able.

Lastly, I'll take this chance to post here my Class Wars video. I am certainly nowhere as powerful as Dante, but if you want to enjoy a pleasant video of my Level 80 Knight's May 2014 Class Wars then watch and remember that you can access all my blogs/sites/videos from one easy location: DolyGames.com

Necropolis Tip & Zebq Stats

Hey guys, I'm posting these a bit late 'cause I'm barely keeping up with all the work I got :)

Necropolis Tip from Brett (and also later from DZmage): 

"Hi Cosmos, Just wanted to give people a idea they may not have thought about. With the necro event going for 7 days not everyone has 21 crypt keys. Just do 1 level a day. :) I did lvl 1 before 5 and level 2 after 5 so definately works."

>> I did this myself - definitely works! Awesome tip!

Zebq Stats and Mounts from Anees:

(remember that compared to China top players this is "nothing" but for the Western world where Zebq is this is huge)
