Joke Hat 10,000 gold Trick

Hey guys, always be careful with events they are setting up. For example in the most recent Lollipop Exchange / Joke Hat event you have the possibility to exchange the Joke Hat for 10,000 gold. However, if you check you will see that the price of the Joke Hat item is also 10,000 gold, so it has no meaning whatsoever to use the Exchange. So don’t bother exchanging for 10k gold, you can sell for the same price at the time that you choose yourself.

Kids Guardians Coming Very Soon

Hey guys, a short post to let everyone know that Kids a.k.a. Guardians are coming probably within 1 month to the Western Wartune - check out the screenshot below from the Wartune EC Master. The term "kids" is used in China version and it seems the Western version is going to be called "Guardians". Thanks to Arefte for the screenshot and thanks to Krishna for passing it to me.

Lvl 11 Gem Transposer Pack Gem Event

Hey guys, in case you didn't notice the Gem event came with a little surprise of having the level 11 Gem Transposer Pack as part of the reward for synthesizing level 11 gems (1 per day for reward).

This gives an opportunity for those who can get it to open up multiple level 11 gem synthesis options which can potentially save hundreds of millions of gold. According to the Transposer Formulas I could find during my play in Necropolis, I currently have to synthesize HP gems up to level 8 then pay a lot of gold to convert them to Crit for level 9 and level 10 and then pay another huge amount of gold to convert them to PATK for level 11 (and then pay for conversions to all gem types for me to use). Literally millions of gold are completely wasted in all those conversions.

And this even gives this level 11 Transposer Pack, so everyone who can should get it (1 per day). However, there is another trick or catch - it does not give a gem as a reward as all other levels do, so in effect you are losing a level 11 gem and getting this Transposer pack, but for 1-2 events it is definitely worth it and then we should carefully watch to see what they are going to place for level 11 in future events.

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! :)

Honor Event and Medallions

Hey guys, today we have the first ever event for gaining a specific amount of Honor in Wartune. I have been predicting this for a long time and I have been saving up all Medallions I could awaiting this event.

Our first Honor Event

The specific one they launched now is to gain 500 honor and they reward you with 100 insignia, 1 double honor scroll and 1 event box. Gaining 500 honor should not be too difficult and I would say that the majority of people with a healthy Level/BR ratio can achieve this inside 1 Battleground.

Healthy Honor Event Tiers

That said, I was actually waiting for several tiers of difficulty instead of just 1 tier, but maybe they want to test the waters with this new event and then increase the options in the future. I would recommend to R2 for the future that a healthy Honor event should have an easy tier for the weaker people of 200 honor, then 500 honor, then 2000 honor and finally 6000 honor which is the daily maximum.

Saving Medallions for Honor Events

As you know I like to save or collect as much of everything as I can, which makes my life easier when various events come. This time I had saved up 174 Medallions anticipating an Honor Event, which is of course much more than needed (these actually add up to 87k honor), but the most important thing of having some Medallions saved up is that you can complete this event after midnight and before the server reset when there are no more Battlegrounds!

On the picture below you see the Medallion item info (500 honor per item), my saved up Medallions and a screenshot of our first Honor Event. I definitely recommend saving some Medallions for such events (but maybe not as many as Cosmos-the-pack-rat did :P) and remember don't consume more than 50k honor (i think 50k was max) from these per day.

+160 Insignia Rewards from Guild Battle

Hey guys, for my first guild skill I have taken the +160 insignia reward and for everyone who is enjoying Wartune in a casual way or who is not super active I would suggest the same. This is because I feel insignia is becoming harder to get and recently they also increased for example the Good Luck Charm cost in the Wilds' Shop to 3000 insignia. Also in the past we could do Tower of Kings (NM) relatively easily, but as time is moving forward that is becoming more and more difficult because (a) we have less time (too many activities), so I often skip TOK and (b) the enemies are getting exponentially stronger making it really difficult to complete all the 5 stages, which we could in the past (of course those servers where enemies "undress" have an advantage).

For level 2 the price is double as you can see on the picture below, so I could consider to go for Level 2, but otherwise I want the Insignia, the Honor (again due to lack of time to do Battlegrounds and sometimes I don't manage to kill anyone in BG at all) and the Strength boost. Everything else is secondary or in the case of additional points from the Guild Boss I believe is completely useless ("stealing" from your own guild-mates).

New Game Elements in Patch 3.40 Part 4

Hey guys, today they in Patch 3.40 Part 4 in my server and I thought to make this post about all the new things which have popped up in the game. And later, of course, we will follow up with videos and articles about each specific new feature.

Guild Boss / Guild Beast

These are:

• 1 more Strength skill (+40 per level)

Purgatory Maze

Requires 3 keys to enter (50 balens each). Stay tuned for videos and more posts about this.

Legendary Talents

Knights

• Laceration: Reduces Death Warrant's Rage consumption by 1 (on level 1). This is actually pretty nice; it helps to spam Death Warrant more.
• Sword Mastery: Increases Blade Storm's physical damage by 2% (on level 1). Still will be a skill rarely used.
• Tenacity: Grants Resurrection a 10% chance to purify 1 harmful effect (on level 1). A tiny additional benefit to a useless skill at present. The skill will still be not used.
• Warlord: Reduces Mars' Will cooldown by 1 second and rage consumption by 1 (on level 1). Nice, but not urgent to have.
• Reverse Attack: When critically hit, 50% chance to increase attack speed by 55% for 2 turns (on level 1). The best talent from the list - the #1 that must be increased.

Archers

• Archer's Stance: Increases Blessed Shot's rage returned by 1 (on level 1). A small improvement to a skill I didn't see used much.
• Swiftness: Reduces Cursed Arrows' CD by 1 second (on level 1). Small improvement, still don't expect a huge change in skill selections due to this.
• Focused Attack: Increases Annihilating Fury's crit rate by 3% (on level 1). A nice improvement to help get a crit attack after spending all your rage on it, but again, those who don't use this skill will not likely start using it due to this talent.
• Infiltration: Armor Piercer can cause 22% physical damage to a random additional target. A very nice / interesting power up for the Armor Piercer which is widely used. However, I think this skill is used a lot of the time in solo battles so in those cases there is no additional target to hit.
• Acute Sting: Increases Soulhunter's Arrow's physical damage by 1% (on level 1). I think this one is the best from the bunch because it is a percentage based benefit.

Mage Skills list and comments - don't have right now. Hopefully Elia will make a post / video about this :)

Mythic Advanced Sylph

Sorry no picture for now as I don't have a gold sylph. You can just check our previous posts on 2nd sylph evolution and our upcoming posts/videos (probably from Elia on this topic). Here are the new mythic advanced sylph skills in the shop, 1000 balens each:

Update: prepared a video also:

Lucky Gold Pack Drop Rates v1

Hey guys, here below I have prepared the v1 drop rates for the Lucky Gold Pack based on 319 chests from my account. The Lucky Gold Pack is not an obtainable item in regular Wartune features and is gotten only via Hot Event rewards. It contains from 100k and up to 1 million gold per chest and so it is a very good item to store and use when you need a lot of gold.

But how often do you get 100k and larger gold amounts?

What we see in this version 1 report is that the vast majority of time you will get 100k gold and not the higher amounts, so 66.1% of the time the chests gave 100k gold.

Next, 26.3% of the time they dropped 200k gold, which means if you combine this with the 100k percentage then you have 92.5% of the time only 100k or 200k, so definitely the higher amounts are there more as a carrot at the end of the stick.

The 400k, 500k and 1 million gold

1 million gold was very rare. Just 2 dropped from 319 chests (0.6%). Also quite rare the 500k gold, which dropped only 5 times (1.6%). And lastly the 400k gold had a drop rate of 5.3%.

So what is the real value Lucky Gold Pack gives?

Calculating the value received from the 319 chests. 1 Lucky Gold Pack chest is worth or gives 154,232 gold.

Lucky Gold Pack Item Description

Lastly, if someone wants to send me more data for Lucky Gold Pack or any other chest / box / pack feel free to email me, but please don't send me few numbers - only send me if you got a big bunch :)

Forbidden Treasure Chest I Drop Rates v1

Hey guys, here below you see my drop rate report for the Forbidden Treasure Chest I, where I have been writing the items from my own chests. Same size is not huge at all, I have opened 32 chests so far and we can see there is a large variety of items falling from this chest, which is very nice.

The sample size is not big enough to make any conclusions yet, other than the 300 bound balens are probably rare, so if people want to help with data please email me data (minimum 10 chests per person - the more the better). DO NOT send me few chests because those could be lucky or unlucky.

Dimension Coordinate Drop Rates v1

Hey guys, I've been recording the data for the Dimension Coordinate Drop Rates, especially since a while back I could synthesize 4000+ shards, so I prepared the below report (large quality picture) and, at least from the preliminary results from my own data of 57 chests it does seem that Light and Dark coordinates drop at half or less than half the rate of other coordinates.

However, to get a more accurate understanding I invite everyone who is willing to email me data (minimum 10 chests per person - the more the better). DO NOT send me few chests because those could be lucky or unlucky.

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:

Eternal Longing Pack Drop Rates v1

Hey guys, here I have prepared the report on the drop rates of the Eternal Longing Pack with my and Rainbowdash's data totaling 985 chests / boxes, which is pretty good for getting decent accuracy drop rates (of course the more the merrier).

So what do we see? The Arabian Camel Card, which is the main focus of everyone, is at 0.2% drop rate, which is in line with my expectations (I even expected less since I saw many people opening lots of boxes and didn't get one). The Hades Seal - same rate as the mount. Then we have the Coin of Ancestry with a 2.3% drop rate, which means you get 2 of these in average if you open 100 chests.

Other interesting items are:

• The 2nd event item is at 30.3% which is roughly 1 in every 3 boxes.
• The 100 Sepulcrums are very rare with only a 0.5% rate which means that they think that 200 sepulcrums are worth same as 1 mount, which is a bit weird.
• My personal favorite are the Divinity Soul Chests, which drop at a 10.7% rate and I really needed those.
• The Sylph Equipment Shards, a.k.a. trash, with 17.7% rate unfortunately.
• The Divinity Shards, also almost same rate as the mount at 0.3%.

Mount Hoof Event Rewards

Hey guys, I hope you all had a good Mount Hoof event! Here I share with you my success after a long time of saving mount hoofs and being very patient until a good event comes. I think i skipped few hoof events even while gathering. And so as a result I was able to refine my Mount / Stables 3974 times which got me 397 event boxes + a large load of 3970 shards for the basic dimension + a part of the hoofs back to do some more training:

Mount Hoof Event Rewards

Unfortunately all mounts are maxed now

I got all my mounts to maximum stars and am missing just 1 star on 1 mount. So from where on I will be totally stuck because getting more mounts the free way is extremely difficult. So even though i am happy for this successful patience and rewards I am aware that i will be completely unable to participate in most future events.

Crafting ~40 Basic Coordinate Chests

I think the most interesting thing for me were the basic dimension shards to craft ~40 Basic Coordinate Chests which will allow me to be more efficient with running dimensions:
