A message from the Collector
Collector: Summoner, you've already proven yourself by beating Thanos. Now you've beaten the Maestro himself. Congratulations!
Summoner: Thanks, Taneleer Tivan. I can call you Taneleer, right?
Collector: No, it is the Collector for you, mister!
Summoner: Why do you assume I'm a man?
Collector: Statistics, duh! Anyway, as a reward for your valour I award you with this title the Conqueror. I also upgrade your daily and four-hourly free crystals, give you a discount to the absolutely glorious premium hero crystals and other crystals in the crystal vault and a new monthly calendar... Wait.
Summoner: What's wrong?
Collector: I'm sorry, but I made a mistake. You'll not get an upgraded monthly calendar.
Summoner: Why? That doesn't make sense.
Collector: That's why. You'll need to beat me first.
Summoner: Wait, if I still only have the calendar as Proven, then I'll only get 4* crystal shards.
Collector: Correct, and still a worthy reward for you.
Summoner: But to beat you, I can use some 5* champions.
Collector: Other Summoners have preceded you and could defeat me, although I hate to admit, with maxed-out 4* champions!
Summoner: I get that, but then is then and now is now. We're not in 2015 anymore. The Contest has advanced. There are challenges beyond you. How am I supposed to bring back your daughter if I'm barred to use any 4* champion?
Collector: The 4* crystal shards will grant you enough 5* crystal shards.
Summoner: So let me get this straight: last month you gave me 250 5* crystal shards at the end of the month, two till three times, but this month I'll have to do with two till three times 750 4* crystal shards. In a year, this means roughly 23,250 4* crystal shards or 11.625 4* crystals which, if they all give me a dupe, 3,025 5* crystal shards. However, if you would give me the previous calendar, I would be getting 7,750 5* crystal shards. I miss almost the double amount!
Collector: *sobs* I can't beat your logic, Summoner! I want my baby girl back so badly but I can't give you monthly 5* crystal shards!
Summoner: But how? You're the Collector, an Elder of the Universe!
Collector: There are powers beyond that of the Elders, beyond the Beyonder, beyond even the fearsome Talking Chair!
Summoner: Who are they that they scare you?
Collector: I do not know, I call them The Ones Above The One Above All. They have made this Contest and I just do their bidding.
Summoner: Where can I find them?
Collector: In a land far away from the Battlerealm, known by its harsh winters, obnoxiously polite people and their main export product: Ryan Reynolds. Boy, that man is not as polite, he has a mouth!
Summoner: I'll go to that land and petition to the The Ones Above The One Above All for more 5* crystal shards.
Collector: I wish you luck, Summoner, my daughter depends on you. I hope you'll survive...
