Re: Banquet Realm Event Stretch Goals - Lack of 7* Rare Trophy Champ Selector...
This is the third or fourth comment I've seen from you today going on about someone presenting a different perspective - you'll likely run into less frustration once you learn to engage with different opinions without taking things too personally

It was previously offered as a reward for reaching GC.

mastery point if you are that patient (I'm definitely not)
Re: March 2026 Titan Pool
She's releasing in March - she'd be the 6th (or 7th) newest 7*, so no matter what, she'll be in the June pool sadly
Re: What rank can I expect to achieve with this score?
That’s slightly less than the score needed to get Abs/KP. You think only 10% of players are going that far? Realize scores include everyone, even those only opening crystals from accolades but that seems like a small number.
Re: 30k units 40 Jubilants
You get 1 Jubilant on every 3 SBC? And make a post complaining ?
Re: 2025 Banquet Realm Event Progress
It does when the person you're facing is just as skilled as you. I used to be a lower end Valiant before I started spending, never made it past Q1 no matter how hard I was grinding then Cyberdeals hit I reached 30 r4s and now I'm sitting in M1 barely playing one match a day just to keep moving up with the rest. Haven't lost a single match against a person with less than 20 r4s unless my draft was actually complete dogshit, that quantity difference is a huge deal when both players actually know what they're doing.
Every year without fail
If you don't care about the game den it doesn't matter but if you enjoy the game den you would benefit greatly from banquet by having sufficient units
There always the next banquet next year so it's never too late to be prepared
1. Get to valiant before Banquet to take full advantage of Banquet
2. Grind regularly every month for units so you don't have to do last min arena grinding
3. I spend more units this year than last year banquet to hit all the milestones so you need a sufficient buffer to be safe
4. Save enough gold for rank up to clear your stash of high end catalysts
5. Save enough low end crystals to have enough iso bcos stash only last 30 days
6. Prepare a good amount of catalysts in inventory
7. Have rank up gems in inventory in case you don't have enough catalysts for lower rank up, you might have plenty of T7B but insufficient lower end catalysts
8. Find a good alliance months before banquet, get to know your leader and officers, build relationships so you don't get kicked during banquet, if you are a good player, no one will kick you, only inactive players get kicked
Account growth after banquet
2024, from 6 million to 6.6 million, spent 21k units
2025, from 9.5 million to 10 million, prepared 27k units before banquet
Yes, it's a lot of work for a major annual event but if you play regularly, you can divide the effort over 12 months instead of last min desperate maneuvers
Re: Every year without fail
And yes it's a bad design to have inventory limits for high end catalysts
It's counter logic to want players to spend and open huge number of crystals only for players to have difficulty clearing everything in the stash within 30 days
I hear whales saying they spent days during the holiday season trying to clear their stash, it's a bad design and bad playing experience
Re: Every year without fail
Just doing the daily super event and the daily quest will, if you're diligent enough, get you to something like 16K units over the course of a year. Doing just three fights in the 4* Arena will net you 26 units twice (I think it is?) per week, which adds up to around 2700 units in a year. That's super-low arena grinding, but it really adds up over time. Now you suddenly have almost 20K units to spend on the Banquet.
Completing even just the Classic version of EQ nets you 150 units on a monthly basis, which adds up to 1800 units in a year. If you get even a little Radiance, you can spend it on units there as well. I think you can get 750 units per month there, which adds up to 9000 units over the course of a year.
And now you're close to 30K units.
So you can definitely save up a whole lot even without grinding arena in any meaningful way, if you don't spend them (or at least not a lot of them) on other stuff throughout the year. If you do grind arena more, you'll have more units; if you use your units on other deals throughout the year, you'll have less of them.
I still spent some units on the occasional offer during both July 4th and Cyber Weekend, but for the most part I saved them for the Banquet. That allowed me to go into this event with a pretty sizeable nest egg. Of course, maybe you decide that you'd rather save your units for some other event instead - that's perfectly fine too. I've always preferred the Banquet since I really like the alliance/community aspect of it, but you do you.
