    If you just joined an Alliance and haven’t reached 14 days participated, do you not get to participate at all during the Banquet event, or will the days automatically be counted until 14 days during the Banquet Event.

    I believe you have to wait until you’ve been in the alliance for 14 days so if you join An alliance before the event starts on the 20th you’re golden though im not sure if you have to wait to buy and open crystals until after the timer expires or your points will only count after that.

    To qualify for the all alliance milestones (and get the abyss nexus) you have to spend 2400-2700 units. Not only 1200....

    So for acquiring points via crystals, we can just buy it for ourselves and open, for 4k points? We don't have to send it to a peer?

    I have a doubt: Can my alt gift me GBCs if it's in a different alliance than me?

    You can't gift crystals, same alliance or not

    Oh and what about those consumables? Does that gifting also need to be in the same alliance?

    If i understand right you can send and recive points by gifting items but can you send points to a non-alliance member by sending items to that player?

    At least, there s a chance to get stuff for almost every useful champ rarity out of these. 5 star champs, t4 catalysts for our 4 star and 5 star champs, and the best of all, 3 star champs from the awesome Cavalier crystals! Isn't this wonderful?

    Btw joking aside, I don't get why there s so few r4 materials in milestones and rank rewards. Alliance milestones don't even have anything likely! Is this because the drop rates of t6 and t3 alpha fragments in the crystals are boosted to 29% or so?

    (No, I don't think so).

    Why do we Paragon or Thronebreakers need that Cavalier Crystals & Nexus Cavalier Crystal from GBC (max gets only 3* from those Crystals)
    So, Sir Plz Kindly remove those items from GBC :neutral:

    You get 10k points free in the Accolades Solo Event by opening the GBC's. Then you get 8k points from opening the GBC's from the milestones. 4 GBC's are in the Holiday Calendar so an extra 4k points. So you are missing 11333 points, but you get 1050 units from the milestones, which you can use to buy 3 GBC's and open them to get all points you need for the alliance milestones without spending 'your' units.

    Hey all, so since Kabam won't respond if you can gift friends too or only alliance mates, I dug into forum to find last years details... it seems like this year they went out of their way to say you can gift alliance mates rather just saying "fellow summoners" like previous years... I think to be safe, its best to assume you can only gift to alliance members

    @Kabam Jax @Kabam Miike could we please have confirmation for this? So we can migrate our alts in same alliance as us.

    I’m a bit worried on the timing and eligibility of the event. We have someone that is planning on leaving our ally after battleground season ends which is the 19th. Assuming he can leave that day and still get rewards without an issue, we have less than 24 hours to find someone else to join. And they wouldn’t be eligible for banquet rewards until the last day of the event. Unless I’m missing something

    Sending accolades is free? Because in the event, the grand banquet crystals are in the "more rewards" section....thanks @Kabam Miike

    If my calculations were not wrong,
    Consider, If any regular summoner who just want to do the Greater Banquet Crystal (GBC) openings for Solo Milestone, (Forget the other source of attaining GBC)
    It should give 3000 points for the purchase with 300 units and extra 1000 points for the opening of it..
    That makes a total of 4000 points for one GBC.

    So the Solo Top Milestone of a summoner is assigned to 100K which makes it 100,000/4000 = 25 Crystals
    25 Crystals costs 25x300 = 7500 units....

    For the past years, if I am not mistaken the top solo milestone was achieved with a spending of 3500 units.
    Now why the raise of it yo 7500 units this year...

    Isn't it kind of a Unit/Cash Grab..

    You can't compare this year rewards with the previous years rewards though, Also 5k units should be enough to get you everything expect the 5 star relic, compare that to the recent cyber offers and you'll know this one is 100 times better, I'm not even counting rank rewards or what you'll get form the banquet crystals

    the scaling value between a single year is more than 1:2 ratio mate,
    that is what I am pointing out here
    even I omitted the other rewards in consideration
    When everything in this game is getting buffed but the units we get in any mode still remains the same.. that wouldn't get buffed ever.
    Even if you disagree with it, it is the fact. To achieve the top milestone more or less that much units have to be spent.

    Already the game has become a grind this gives a massive negative effect to any Free To Play members who at the least had a chance in the previous years to get the top milestone. (I have the grinded units, but it will not be the case of many)

    Stopping with whichever milestone we want is our personal preference.

    If we bought the greater banquet crystal for ourselves, do the points still apply to the alliance event or only the solo event milestones?

    You can only buy them for yourself
    Yeah, I'm asking if the points for buying them apply to both the alliance and solo milestones
    Yes, it's already been answered in this thread.

    I think what he's referring to is you can use the units from the milestones plus the 1200 to get all the alliance milestones.
