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!

so if the chests are the same for all, I'm assuming we can wait for people like seatin to find them for us and we can wait until they find it and we can get it

Me after reading this post...

Please see edited rewards table with correct Difficulties. The 4 Difficulties are Legendary, Epic, Master and Heroic. The rewards themselves have not changed. Thank you for your attention, folks!

They had us in the first half, I’m not gonna lie

BowTieJohn

Sounds interesting.

Stellar

1. The treasure chest contents will be the same for all of you!
2. Once the path is unlocked, the Key is gone but the path will remain open!

Does it means we can do the path again and again (0 energy cost) ans win whatever treasure can be found on the path ?
Or once the path is done, there is no value to do it again ?

EDIT : Sorry @kabam Boo, didn't see your previous answer

Nameless_IW

UC EQ 2500 6 star shards
Side Quest 5000 6 star shards

That is 7500 6 star shards so far. I'm hoping, expecting, praying the CAV Diff to offer at least 7500 6 shards.

Tensio

And how many chests are of each star? Just to decide how many paths to complete if I skip one and four stars chests. Thanks @Kabam Vydious @Kabam Lyra @Kabam Zibiit @kabam boo

Announcements like this should always be done by Kabam Boo. I'm stoked for this event but I think I'm gonna rely on the community to see where them treasures at.

DarkKnight646

I finally worked out what this was all actually about when those fabulous crystals caught my eye... then I realised... Platpool piece up for grabs!

Etm34

Now that I have a better understanding of the event, it seems the best strategy if you’re not in a gold crunch is to skip the 1 star chests in legendary and just hammer the 2,3, and 4 ones in both legendary and epic. Maximizes the amount of keys used for shards and resources

Vendemiaire

Why is this not pinned?

What is this event? I don't understand.

^^^ I think we all feel the same way.

A Pirate Unlife! Woo-Hoo!

CASrinivas

Alright, I think I may have understood this? Maybe?

Correct me if I’m wrong but it looks like:

1. Complete a solo objective every day to get a ‘Locker’
2. Open this locker to choose a key that corresponds to a difficulty level
3. Enter a quest which has 28 paths, chests, hidden enemies, random bosses and no energy cost. I’m unsure if this resets every day or if it’s continuous and you explore the whole quest over the month
4. Get rewards from chests it’s seems. No completion/exploration rewards

I think this is right. Maybe. Boo will correct me if I’m wrong

I think its more like the Black Widow Event, but without that 2 Stars & Rifts LOL

MaxGaming

this is giving me rift vibes

Rifts have randomized paths. This event sounds like you will choose which path to go down.

They won't give a 5* featured that easily

DariusYi

Can we see the content of the treasure chest before unlocking the path?

It's a good thing that once we unlock the path, it remains open. This way i can quit and bring different set of champs if my initial try doesn't work out, as compared to burning an entry ticket.
I hope there won't be any bug once released. Sounds like a complicated programming that Kabam hasn't done before. Normally it's entry ticket.
I'm hoping for the best since this would be a great Side EQ mechanic.
