Yo Ho, Yo Ho! A Summoner's Life For Me!

Greetings Summoners!

Arrrrrrrr - we be given’ Captain Flint a run for his stash o’ rum! This is your opportunity to do your best Jim Hawkins, Summoner style, on this inspired journey through our very own, Mutant Treasure Island!

LAND AHOY!

NEW quest details, so pay close attention!

We dock at the Island of Krakoa, on September 2, 2020. Strange as it were, tales recount access to the Island requires no Energy or any other forms of payment at all. However, travellers beware, Mutants have taken to erecting locked gates along marked paths, identified by Difficulty, to the hidden treasure chests containing the likes of Crystals, Catalysts, Awakening Gems and more. The Mutants answer to one master, the master of this Island, one scoundrel of a seadog who goes by the name of… Platinum Jones.

Should you wish to travel these paths in search of Jones’ scattered treasures, one must possess a very particular model of Key, called an ISO Key, to which no living soul has acquired the blueprints for. Jones is fully aware of his monopoly so you will have to earn his favour if you be wanting those Keys! What would a salty dog like Jones want, you say? Well, we hear he enjoys the thrill of sending travelers on solo adventures in order to complete special objectives. Complete the objectives to Jones’ satisfaction and you will be granted one of Jones’ Lockers. In it, you will have the opportunity to select one (1) Key of your choosing. As Jones alone holds the right to the Keys, he is not likely to entertain you for more than once a day for the duration of our stay. However, in case you’ve found the bottom of the rum barrel the night before, Jones might be inclined to save you a Locker for the days you were missing in action, but not before you complete the very same objectives you would have owed to him! A word of caution: these Keys have been known to dematerialise after each use, so you will need a new Key for each path you choose to enter. Tricky business, these Keys!

From there, it will be up to you to defeat the resident Mutants, and any of the Island’s other rogue inhabitants, that guard the chests and claim the hidden treasures of Krokoa. Before we send you on your way, our scouts took the shores in the dead of night so they could deliver the following report.

SCOUT REPORT:
Our scouts have reported 28 paths per Difficulty, with Hidden Characters along each of the various paths, and rather unpredictable Bosses. Apparently, Deadpool has also been spotted on the path of Epic Difficulty and up to his usual mischief on the Island, so be on your guard for this familiar face!

We set sail again in about a month’s time, on October 7, 2020. Explore at your own risk; stay on the paths! Travellers have been known to stray from the paths and come to perish on the Island. We hope you meet a happier fate.

Fair travels, Summoners. May your adventures on Krakoa be bountiful.

LEGENDARY DIFFICULTY

The walls have ears. We hear you wish to be challenged further, that we have been too kind. We hear your chants, and we answer with Legendary Difficulty.

REWARDS

Thanks to some of our more zealous scouts, we have even secured reports on potential contents of these elusive treasure chests, which all seem to carry a certain curious star rating:

1-Star Chests:
Gold, sweet Gold

2-Star Chests:
Hero Crystals or Hero Crystal Shards

3-Star Chests:
Catalyst Fragments, Catalysts or Catalyst Crystals

4-Star Chests:
Signature Stone Crystals or Awakening Gem Crystal

Remember! These can all be found INSIDE the treasure chests!

***UPDATE: Friday, September 4, 2020

This has been a journey for us all. We're happy to confirm that the event is back up and running as intended. Most of the event functionality is going to be the same, so please review the main post for a refresher, if you need it! However, we appreciate that you may have some questions in light of the recent interruptions, so please also read this quick Q&A. We hope this answers your pressing questions about the event!

Q: Can I run the first path (before the event was paused) and claim the rewards there again?
A: Yes, you may. But all paths going forward will only allow you to claim the rewards once.

Q: Are all the rewards shown on the path now instead of hiding in treasure chests?
A: Yes! They will be laid out on the path now instead of being hidden in treasure chests.

Q: Have any of the rewards moved since the original map (before the pause)?
A: Yes, unfortunately, they've gone on a bit of a shuffle. But they are also laid out on the map now so you will be able to see where the rewards you want are located!

Q: Will the Keys still disappear after they use it to unlock a path? Will the path remain open (with no more rewards) once it's unlocked?
A: Yes, the Key will still disappear once you've unlocked the path. If you do not complete the path and quit, the Key will be returned to you and the path will be locked again. If you complete the path, then the Key will disappear and the path will remain unlocked. Remember! You MUST COMPLETE the path in order to claim all the rewards you've earned along the path; if you DO NOT COMPLETE the path, then the path will be locked and reset (rewards are placed back along the path), and you get your Key back.

Q: Will the Champions along the path and Bosses stay the same?
A: Yes! Any mysterious Champions along the path marked with a "?" will be a random (from a limited pool) Mutant, and the Bosses are still random (from a limited pool of Mutants) for everybody!

Q: Can you claim the rewards on the open paths more than once?
A: Again, NO, you cannot! Besides, the rewards won't be there anymore once you complete the path and claim all the rewards along the path!

28 paths where you can see the chests, but not the rewards. So if you run it 28 times, you’ll get all the shards, cat drags, etc. then have an extra week to clean through a lower difficulty and pick what you want?

QuikPik

Reread it again. Now it seems like you can see the rewards on each path and there could be an extra treasure chest on certain paths.

Kabam Boo

Further clarification:
Yes, you can re-enter the paths after you have unlocked them but you will only get the rewards on each path once.

For those of you who did the math for the Keys and paths, you're spot on!

LPH_337

Just please confirm which champs are coming before i pull my hair out 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😭😭😭😭😭😭😫😫😫😫😫😫

Great, that takes away any doubts I had. This event seems awesome!

RKO_me

My only question is, are we able to determine what rewards are within each chest before we start a quest? I'm probably not the only one here who would like to target the 5* awakening gem crystal. Thanks!

Deacon

35 keys. got it. LET'S GO!

Silver_Saga

That sounds..... convoluted.
Guess the secondary account will serve again as a testing ground to figure out how this works.

Ambjony

I guess that by checkin the chests stars you can make an educated guess of what you’ll be gettin’

For instance I’ll skip 1star and 3 star chest lanes as I don’t need gold or catalyst and I prefer shards and stones.

Correct me if I’m mistaken

SwarmOfRavens

2 5* awakening gem crystals in a side event is pretty crazy

Etjama

Right? Kabam's really giving us some solid rewards this month and we haven't even seen the Cav difficulty EQ.

OGAvenger

So you can get everything from the Legendary rewards and run Epic 7 times and target the rewards you want? Since the rewards are the same for everyone it’s possible to wait until someone explores Epic to find where the specific rewards are on each path?

MadEyeMoody_333

I'm wondering if I can do some paths in epic and also some in legendary to hunt the stuff I want. like if I can split the keys between epic and legendary to get the chests I want

Nah!! I guess not.

Mr_Platypus

I repeat:
1. Treasure chest contents are the same for all of you.
2. Once you have unlocked a path, the Key is gone, but the path will remain open.

An extra friendly reminder that this is a 5-week event, so you have 35 Keys available to you.

Hope the above helps with your trip planning

Just to be clear.
As an example, the contents of the chest on the furthest path to the left will have the exact same item for every single person? And the same for every other path.

LibertyPrimeV1

Hmm a Krakoa Themed Pirate Event... Maybe we won't get Apocalypse *this month*, but instead Kitty Pride? Which would still be sick imo.

My Question for Kabam is will this New Side Quests be more like July's Cav Difficulty or August's Cav Difficulty?? I honestly hope it's more like "July" not August, i feel like August's event was not fun and just left many people not wanting to run it like myself.

Sincerely,
Vergil027

LibertyPrimeV1

So what Chest can the "Beautiful Mouth of the Fabulous One" be found in, or is it a separate Rewards for beating an Ambush Platinumpool, or maybe a separate Path with a unique Key?

Razer_Boltz619

Can u save ur keys and do multiple paths in one day?

SkyLord7000

Does Plat-pool appear in legendary difficulty? I’m asking because it says he will appear on epic difficulty. Dont want to difficulty down to get plat-pool.

Sofian_z

The legendary event, will it be like july or august or totally different? Sorry if my last comment offended you kabam

This sounds somewhat complicated, but mostly amazing

On a different note, the mention of Krakoa in the event description seems like the final clue we need to confirm that next month's second champion will be a House of X / Powers of X version of Apocalypse

CrainOnTheBrain

Wait. There isn’t a master difficulty this month. Will that mean that Epic is easier for those who normally do master? Or will Hard be harder for those who do master? Will Legendary be doable for those who normally would do Epic? These are interesting times.

slacker

Now that's treasure, thanks Platinum Jones.

Thicco_Mode

Does Plat-pool appear in legendary difficulty? I’m asking because it says he will appear on epic difficulty. Dont want to difficulty down to get plat-pool.

he will only be in epic difficulty I think, but you'll have 7 leftover keys if you spend all on legendary difficulty
