Gem and Card Pack Promotions!

(Posted by Eliatan of the DolyGames Team)

Hey you guys, there are some awesome events out today, and some not-so-amazing promotional packs in the shop to go with them. Here's my two cents.


Card Packs
I'm not even bothering with the description. Cashing cards is just ... no. Don't do it. 

Gem Packs
Lvl. 2 Gem Pack x2, Soul Crystal x10, Lvl. 1-3 Gem x1
Price: 79 Balens.
Lvl. 3 Gem Pack x1, Soul Crystal x20, Lvl. 1-5 Gem x1
Price: 129 Balens.
Lvl. 4 Gem Pack x1, Soul Crystal x50, Lvl. 1-5 Gem x5
Price: 499 Balens. 

These are very pricy for what they are -- really just a way for big cashers to complete gems they want to synthesize for the event. 

Limited Soul Crystal Pack
Soul Crystal x100
Lvl. 1-3 Gem Pack x10
Price: 199 Balens.

Though the limited soul crystal packs tend to be a lot better than the usual nonsense sales they put out, the gem event going on right now is unlimited and gives fantastic rewards. I think any and every semi-decent hoarder will make out well over the next few days, so cashing soul crystals isn't all that appealing.

That's all I've got! Have fun with the new events, and good luck to everyone in the West coast make-up Class Wars tonight :)

Open Letter to Wartune to "Fix This Because I'm OCD"

(Posted by Eliatan of the DolyGames Team)

As the self-appointed chair of Balenor's Bag and Vault Hygiene Committee I implore Wartune to address a grave travesty in their item design.


Clearly block gems either need to be technicolor or level 9 luck stones need to be completely purple. The matchy-ness of my bag organization is of the upmost importance to my sanity and the well-being of those I whine to about the injustices inflicted upon hoarders and obsessive compulsive organizers.

Given the prompt responses I receive for other such vital requests, I expect this issue will be addressed in the Maybe Never Patch which brings us:
  • Homestead
  • Those three other spots in our farms
  • Block scrolls (seeing as every other stat gets a scroll ... GRAHRAHRAH)
Tepid regards,
Elia

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

Fate Stone Event and Promotion Pack

(Posted by Eliatan of the DolyGames Team)

Hey you guys, we've got a nice Fate stone consumption event going on!


My brutal edge and resistance are both capped out, so I can't participate, but I sure wish I could -- the gold prizes are awesome and enchanting the level 80 gear is not T_T.

[Promotion] Fate Stone Pack
Duration: 6/2 - 6/4 23:59 (Server Time)

Fate Stone x2, Soul Crystal x10, Lvl. 1-5 Gme Pack x1
Price: 49 Balens. Limit of 100.

Fate Stone x10, Soul Crystal x50, Lvl. 1-5 Gem Pack x5

Price: 199 Balens. Limit of 20

There are fate stone packs for sale that I'd just stay clear of. If you didn't hoard fate stones and don't have 20 to consume for the event, it's a lot cheaper to go through Jewel Hunt.

Think of the luckiest punk on your friends list, and have them roll for you the next few days xD
If you get the 300 and 700 point prizes from Jewel hunt, you'll receive the 20 fate stones needed for the event. It's very doable for free, but even if you don't make it to 700, paying 150 balens for 10 extra turns (should be enough), is better than dropping 199 balens for only 10 fate stones (and they bundle it with other nonsense)!

Just for kicks, take a guess at how many fate stones are in my vault at the moment (that I can't use lol...), subtract that number from the true count revealed in the caption below, and let me know in the comments what you got! Valueless-yet-heartfelt-brownie-points to anyone that can get within a hundred xD

Bounty Scroll and Crypt Pack Promotions

(Posted by Eliatan)

Hey you guys, there are couple new promotion packs out today, so let's give them a look-see :)


[Promotion] Enhanced Bounty Scroll Pack
Duration: 6/1 - 6/4 23:59 (Server Time)

Enhanced Bounty Scroll x2, Mount Training Whip x10
Price: 199 Balens. Limit of 100 per day.

Enhanced Bounty Scroll x10, Mount Training Whip x30

Price: 799 Balens. Limit of 20 per day.

MEHHHHH RUN AWAY, don't buy these! The better of these two packs is the smaller one that has mount whips for about 20 balens each, but even that is a mediocre discount on whips -- they have come as low at 16 balens per whip. Fishing is the simple solution to the bounty quest event:

No, this isn't my main toon's fishing level...
[Promtion] Crypt Pack
Duration: 6/1 - 6/3 23:59 (Server Time)

Crypt Pack x1, Soul Crystal x10
Price: 39 Balens. Limit of 100.

Crypt Pack x10, Soul Crystal x100
Price: 349 Balens. Limit of 20.

Crypt Pack
Open to obtain one of the following:
Crypt Token x25
Runestone x2
Mount Training Whip x2
Crypt Token x100
Crypt Token x1000
1,000,000 Gold
Dark Hellion Wings x1

You can check out Cosmos's current data on these packs here: Crypt Pack Drop Rates v2. For the most part, I'd try to stay clear of these. It's going to be tempting for bigger cashers who want to get jewelry stuff made ASAP, but crypt tokens come at a really steady, predictable income, so they shouldn't be a priority item to cash. 

And don't be tempted by those Hellion wings! It's just glitter. Really, really, exceedingly ugly glitter.

Bonus super-awful-outfit Eliatan toon update with what my buddy and I call the "Barney" wings. I probably got them from some whale-y consumption event awhile back.

I'm actually quite fond of those reindeer horns
