Mysterium Store

After playing side quest, got over 50K mysterium, but looking at the store, it's really worthless, no point spending on 6* or anything which can't help me upgrade my 7* ?

If you dupe a 6 stars, you will receive 7 Stars shards and at 15k receive another 7 stars

Thanks Kabam 🥳

Ah yes! What a brilliant idea. With only 1 6* Abyss Nexus Crystal a week. It’s going to take about 55weeks to get 15,000k 7* shards.

Yea, thanks Kabam for dumbing us down with this idiot.

This will become very important once they release the collectives gets released collecting and maxing out the other champion star lvls will help with your higher star lvls expanding

The rewards that were in the Mysterium Store previously have all been moved directly to the Side Quest rewards.

The Mysterium Store was reworked to be a home for Summoners who want to rank up their lower rarity legacy rosters.

so there is no point anymore to collect mysterium?

I’m quite sure the side event doesn’t have all the items I bought on a course of 4-5 weeks.

Now It is worth only for gold and iso

This! You will want to rank up all your lower star levels to max when this drops. I've been doing it for months anyway. All my 2* are maxed, working my through the 3*s and 4*s now.

Idk but personally I dont care to run lower level daily quests for catalysts. Buying them cheaply with mysterium is a easier, better choice now that theres mainly low level stuff.

I will say we've seen reports on all paths of the side quest now, and no one has reported getting 7-star shards. Those were included in one of the now retired bundles in the Mysterium store. So the new side quest does not appear to be a truly complete replacement for the retired bundles.

@Kabam (Osaurus) Rex a little communicating would have been nice. If I'd known the bundles were going away, I would've used all my mysterium on the bundles on Tuesday before it became a useless currency. Remember when you guys said you're gonna be more communicative....

I don’t recall seeing an announcement directly about this, though it was talked about in the stream and in essentia communication like this one

My logical brain tells me that in the grand scheme of things it isn’t a big deal. If I’d known I’d have spent my mysterium before it changed, but missing it isn’t going to harm my progression to any meaningful degree. Of all the things to get annoyed about this probably isn’t one of them.

The other less rational bit of my brain says how is it so hard for a company the size of Kabam to figure out a formal and workable comms strategy. I’m mean it’s not just bad, it’s a complete car crash of a department. It’s like the episode of Big Bang Theory where Sheldon decides he’s going to make all and every decision based on dice rolls. 1-3 says we tell them, 3-6 says we don’t.

It was communicated on several different platforms, several different ways and at several different times. I think it's an accomplishment for you to have missed it, actually.

Mike can you confirm the amount of t6b and t3a because before you could get 16 in a month now its looking like its a total of 5 this month in the side quest. We were usually already given some in side quest before so this is not even close to what we could purchase before. I know a lot of f2p players rely on those for ranking up champions.

are you just speculating or is there actually a source behind this assertion?

Greed_Exodus

why would the side quest give mysterium if the stuff you normally use it on is already in the side quest and not in the store? This makes no sense.

I would call it more of an informed hypothesis based on everything we know about collectives so far

it’s even a bigger gap between what we used to earn before and after the change, because before you could spent your mysterium on items you want (for example more rank up material vs shards vs relic materials), and on top of it you could’ve earn more items (other than mysterium) from running the side event.

Now you get a mix of items, not necessarily what you want/need, and less.

too bad… I don’t remember when the mysterium store/currency first added to the game, but it was one of the bigger WINS they had, until the update to some of the items few months ago, like the exalted shards and the double qty of the t4a/t6b which was another big WIN…. Well, until now… huge loss.

Oh in response to all the posts about needing a currency to rank up all of our lower rarity rosters LOL. what a joke.

The "Collective" feature coming probably will require/encourage most players to be utilizing this store. I say most because there are some players that are only missing a couple of 3*-6* champs and have most of them at max signature. There should be more details in this upcoming livestream about the Collective.

you think we could at least get some tier 5 class cats in there. Prettyyyyy pleaaaaaase. That’s the one thing I feel like I’m always out of but I hate spending bigger resources on

WadeUp

They took the six star shards out the mysterium store and now its pretty much dead to me. Especially for how much mysterium theyre going to give me over essentia. I might use it for a catalyst or something here and there but, yea its worthless.

OOn a side note, why on earth would you take your quantities of items away from preview screens? That seems bone headed.

Seems a little far fetched to me. They’re going to introduce some kind of system that rewards low rarity roster depth? After they’ve basically given us most of the 2 stars fully maxed and the cost to rank three and four stars is basically zero through the mysterium store and buying solo crystals for sig stones, etc?

I don’t see any obvious way to monetize that, which is why I don’t believe it.

Now, if you tell me they’re going to make us have 5 ascended 7 star champs from every class before we can take advantage of the glorious bonus from “collectives”… I’d start to believe it.

Based on what we saw of collectives so far, it makes sense it would reward you for having 2 ,3 ,4* at all ranks because we already know it rewards you for having a certain amount of 7* at rank 1 ,2, 3 etc. Im guessing this is more going to benefit newer players once it launches, to keep them ranking up lower rarities. And as far as monetizing it, welll, how often do you actually get new 2* without buying some form of special crystal?

https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/comment/2947822#Comment_2947822

Seems like the benefit would be to players who have been here since the beginning and ranked up each level as the game expanded. It would be a detriment to new players, demanding they focus on rarities they blow past in the early game and have no benefit to current progression paths.

Where Are the exalted crystal shards? Just once id like for the valuable stuff to remain untouched, and the worthless stuff taken away?

The Mysterium swap has communicated in multiple ways many times.

_Rick87_

Can you add 5* shards to the store? So we can buy featured crystals.
Also, lower tier signature stones would be great.
Lastly, why can I only buy 9 tier 1 alphas and not 30?

@Kabam (Osaurus) Rex

I see that now based on @ahmynuts post. But it's contained within a larger post about essentia and isn't highlighted at all. There was no definitive date given (unless I'm missing something) and there was no mail message in the game like we got today about the dead weights expiring. And judging by the sheer number of people in this thread and in other threads that are confused about why the Mysterium bundles are gone. I would say that the communication lacked a bit. That's all I'm saying.
