T1 alpha Shortage

Is it just me or did t1 alpha suddenly become scarce. I didn't have any issues with T1 alpha up until the last month(always in overflow).But now I don't even have more than 5-6 T1 alpha. Did they change anything?

More shards lately. More shards = more champs more champs to rank feels like less t1a when really its the same, you've just ranked more 5*s

It's a real pain !
Actually doing AQ map 5, which gives at the end, around 4500 glory. You need 3550 to buy 10x T1-alpha (you can't spend all that in T1-alpha at my level).
Map 5 crystals gives T4B, T4CC or fragments of both.
Map 6 crystals gives same with T2-alpha (catalyst or fragments).
Monthly quest :
- normal : 1x T1-alpha
- heroic : 2x T1-alpha
- master : 3x T1-alpha
Arena T1-alpha gives 3x of them (which i don't play cause of lack of time & passion).
So right now, over a month, i get 6 T1-alpha + those I buy through glory store (around 5 for 1400 glory). Did I miss some places or crystals ???
I need to up 5* (my 6* don't worth rank 2, imo... which doesn't need T1-alpha, btw), which for :
- rank 1-2 & rank 2-3 : need 5x T1-alpha
- rank 3-4 & rank 4-5 : need 6x T1-alpha
Every level-up event lately, i just end up leveling 4* to do points cause they need less T1-alpha (1 or 2) rather than 5*, that I should.
Where are the T1-alpha ? I'm gonna end with T2-alpha in overflow cause i can't up 5*...
Should I stop map5 to do map4 in order to get a low tier mat ???

It's a shortage for some, in abundance for others. Depends how often you use them. Multiple places to get them though.

I have overflow of t1as.

This 👆 + also depends on your rank-ups and how you choose to gather t1a (arena, monthly event quest, glory, etc). But compared to last month where you could get t1a in the side quest, this month you can’t.
It can be a pain to manage, but that’s sort of always been the case. In one form of another some1 can always get a shortage, whether it be catalysts, gold, iso. Other players will always have an abundance of said materials, depends on your strategy with playing this game.

They are not available for cheap at glory store.
They are actually the most overpriced item currently on it. It’s the only catalyst that it’s price hasn’t changed there for two years. All other catalysts have been repriced.
Also map4 don’t give any significant amount of t1a. Map3 does. My ally does full map4 and I’m opening 15 map4 crystals weekly.
On average they give less than one per 15.
Their availability should be increased. Anyway they can’t be game breakers if they are massively available.

If your leveling up 5 star champs leveling up 1 or 2 4 stars is a waste if resources.

Frankly, the T1A arena should give 4 of them, and the glory store prices should have dropped like they did for T2A and T4b and most everything else.

It is nice if you are in a alliance that can get all the milestones & rewards, but, not everyone has that luxury.

There really is no downside for having access to more of them, those that have plenty, good, you can sell them, so why are you complaining?

There is also less Units in the event quest this month, not enjoying the changes to the rewards for the monthly event quest.

I'm not seeing any shortage of them myself. They come in steady.

Feels that way. My mini which I don’t play in an alliance is pretty hamstrung for months now wrt 5* rank ups as no t1a flow and on my main I’ve had to start buying it from the glory store.

I must admit, all those coming & saying "Huh! why you complain ? Got many in overflow !" just sound kiddo for me.
Explain ! How you manage to get some in overflow ? You don't rank up 5* ? You don't do every level-up event ? You do arenas ?
Yeah, there are multiple ways to get some in overflow but they are either time consuming (arenas) or not efficient (skip level-up event, level up 3* or 4* instead of 5*) or limited to some people who can rank up (useful) 6*.
We can all agree that :
- T1-alpha is not endgame mat
- T1-alpha is at the same spot than T4CC or T4B, maybe T4CC is higher than T1-alpha
but still, it's a rare mat that we need in order to rank up 5* (to rank a 5* to rank 5, you gonna need 22 T1-alpha).
So, there should be a way to get it :
- daily quest like T4CC or T4B
- crystals from AQ map 5 and above.

To complete what i said in my previous post, you can get T1-alpha :
- from 3 days alliances events (completion, Use avengers, ...) which makes 2.33 T1-alpha a week
- from summoner advancement : 1 for 500k, 1 for 750k, 2 for 1M & 3 if you reach 1M5.

So :
- 6 from monthly quests,
- 9.33 from 3 days event over a month,
- 8 from summoner advancement over a month (if your alliance do at least 750k)
An average of 23 T1-alpha/month.
Just enough to rank up one 5* to rank 5 a month. Don't even think rank another 5* even to rank 2, you gonna end up with not enough T1-alpha.

I’ve long advocated for this, but not noticing it lately, it is relevant to the side quests as stated, but I guess I just don’t bother ranking 5* anymore unless they definitely going to be r4 eventually, if you want the rankup milestones just do lower levels on the 3* champs, it’s Cheaper for gold too

What is the drop rate of T1A even on (uncollected) daily goal crystals? Maybe make the percentage of getting T1A higher and the basic iso lower because nowadays class iso is way better than basic iso. Same as with the Greater Solo Crystal, what's up with that drop rate? 0.45%? Are you kidding me? Why should it be that low?

HavocGamer49

Agreed I often have to spend my valuable 3k glory that I get a week exclusively on t1a cuz I would have everything else but have like 5 or 4 missing t1a

IronGladiator22

I have been struggling on t1 alpha and even some t4 basic. I’m trying to rank my 5* thing to rank 4 and I have 6 t4 basic yet only 2 t1 alpha and basic t4
