Why does Titan have so much synergy with brown abilities but its Magic bonus is for blue weapons? Why are there multiple things that give you +Magic with Tomes? Why doesn't this game make sense?

Has anyone volunteered to run the new thread OP yet? I don't mind doing it, I'm on often enough and still pretty active in game (level 1162 in Boiz).

Its been great playing in the Boiz, but Since starting my new job I’m finding I don’t have enough time to play much. I’m not big on just hitting the minimum each week to keep a spot when others could use it more so i’ll leave for now. Thanks again guys.

Thanks to whoever pointed out I can speed up the animations in this game. 1.5x feels crazy fast in a good way. I expect I'll go even higher once I'm used to it. Now a question that isn't addressed in the new OPs: difficulty levels! I'm playing on Warlord III on the PvE quests, as my soul-farming team can't hack warlord IV. Hell, sometimes even III is too hard for them. For Arena I generally end up on Hard to be sure of consistent wins. Are these at all sensible choices from a min/maxing point of view? Obviously at the higher difficulties, fights take longer and I have to take longer to think about my actions and sometimes I lose them, so the loss of time all adds up. But I do like having to actually think to win a fight rather than mindlessly spam through. Maugrim fucked around with this message at 21:38 on Jan 6, 2019 |

I added bits about difficulty and animation speed to the OP. I think it’s pretty much ready to go. Night Danger Moose, I can PM you a Dropbox link with all the files. Just throw the images on imgur and insert where needed. Now all we need is a clever title. I’m thinking of "Gems of War: from the devs of Puzzle Quest, it’s... Puzzle Quest". What do you all have?

Can you have guild invites while in a guild? Mine is half full and thus half as effective. Code is Ian Dunbar (not my real name so spambots feel free to hit me up)

Raid talk - this seems ideal for the Earth's Fury and the new Boss killer Earthcaller. I'm running: Earth's Fury +9 Titan Earthcaller lvl 19 *** Ketras *** (also benefits from Fury's attack boosting spell) Skeleros *** (meh, a placeholder, I should probably replace him) Meteor (Sin of Maraj) banner. I'm thinking of subbing in Chief Stronghorn for Skeleros, or maybe the Festival Cow (my new phone background).

It's early, but I've been using: Kraken Banner Titan Earth Crusher Ketras Earthcaller Sunweaver There aren't a lot of great options for that last slot, but Sunweaver gives a good boost to Ketras/Earthcaller as well 6 mana. Side question: Do most people prefer Bloodthirsty in the level 70 talent slot? I've always used Stone Mastery paired with a +2 brown banner for guaranteed activation from the start with a single brown match. Coupled with everything else, this virtually lets me chain cast Mountain Crusher until I'm ready to cast my big hitters. I guess it is dependent on what weapon you use, but I can't ever get away from Mountain Crusher. It's just too good.

I've been using: Bear Banner (Urskaya) Gorgon Earthcaller Ketras Primal Axe +5 (Shaman to make everyone else start at half mana, and I gotta level the class anyways) Tauros are some of the hardest hitting troops in the game. Gorgon is a decent tank who fills up really quick and can help with chains due to his row-clearing ability. Earthcaller is only level 19 but will hit like a truck since its ability is boosted by attack/life/armor just like Ketras. Ketras... is a no-brainer. Trying out the axe to help with chains into the other 3 troops, haven't really made up my mind yet. As of this post Zuul'goth is level 125 and I've been crushing face with the bull boiz.

Once Earth's Fury casts a couple of times Ketras and Earthcaller are damage monsters. My only issue is, if the board doesn't give me the brown matches I need to maintain the barrier on the hero. So far no losses (230).

Once Earth's Fury casts a couple of times Ketras and Earthcaller are damage monsters. I ran out of sigils at 180, but it rolled through everything to that point. Earthcaller at Legendary will one-shot the boss up to about 160, and Ketras splash damage still finishes him off. Everything fills up so fast with this hero setup (Titan Mountain Crusher, Stone Mastery at 70, Double brown banner) that it is still going pretty strong. We had some other Tauros restricted event a while back, and this combo served me all the way through if I remember correctly.

Getting the new OP up has hit a roadblock. The mistral in southern France has knocked out internet at the house where I’m staying. Probably won’t have a chance to upload to Dropbox for another 12 hours at the earliest. Possibly as long as 36 hours, by which time I should be back home in Japan.

This is what I have been using Sin of Maraj banner Earth's Fury Earthcaller Chief Stronghorn Sunweaver The chief is basically Ketras-lite and the rearrange can be useful, but I used an orb of ascension on the event unit, so Earth's Fury + Earthcaller should be melting the boss for a long time.

How precious are Celestial Traitstones? I'm in a spot right now where I'm trying to get my Winter Imp fully traited out. First Tier is completed. Total blue stones: Minor: 281 Major: 79 Runic: 83 Arcane Stoic: 4 Celestial: 19 Tier 2 Cost: 26 Minor, 12 Major and 12 Arcane Stoic. Tier 3 Cost: 34 Minor, 6 Arcane Stoic and 2 Celestial. I've just realized that I could right now exchange Celestial for Arcane giving a converted cost of: vTier 3 Cost: 34 Minor, 12 Runic, 4 Arcane, 6 Celestial and 800 souls. Is this a terrible increase in cost? Also, if I grind for two more Arcane Stoic traitstones instead of converting, is using up 2 Celestial that much worse than grinding for another 6 Arcane Stoic stones? If it helps, I already have a Skadi team, and she's fully traited out.

Solkanar512 posted:How precious are Celestial Traitstones? Converting between traitstones is so awful that grinding is usually better. Celestial traitstones aren't needed in bulk, so as long as you have a small stockpile they're great to use. I would absolutely use orb of wisdom on the 2nd trait instead of the 3rd most of the time.

I would absolutely use orb of wisdom on the 2nd trait instead of the 3rd most of the time. True, the 2nd trait almost always is more costly from an Arcane perspective. I used celestials to craft arcane as needed - but I had (have) a metric ton of jewels to create more celestials. I also hate the grinding.

I used to believe that Celestials weren't that important, but I saw some discussion on the official forums that reminded me--while you won't need too many for traiting up your main teams in early or midgame, and will probably have extras, they're the rarest traitstone drops and *eventually* you're going to want to trait every troop (for Kingdom power). I have a large stockpile at the moment, but I've avoided converting them to arcanes, because I don't want to get to a point a few months down the line where my impatience now results in hours of unnecessary grinding then.
