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!

I don’t want compensation but plz fix the bug I want to get my featured five star soon but I won’t enter the quest until the bug is fixed Because I am tired of fighting weapon x he is just so annoying even when my human torch has nova flames
There's no bug. The boss will only change once you defeat it. But there's also a chance that you will encounter the same boss in succession.
There is, I defeated it wolverine in epic and it remained same I don't want compensation too but I can open a 5 star crystal today but the boss does not change at all

There is a chance that it will remain the same.

And you defeated Wolverine in EPIC. Not in Legendary. Defeat Emma Frost in LEGENDARY for the boss to change. EPIC is not related to LEGENDARY.

The boss remained same in epic not legendary.
So the concept is same for all difficulties

All the T2A requires 2 keys.

I keep going in fights with Storm Pyramid X as the "Random" mutant champ, and Emma Frost as the boss. I try to do the Legendary category, but because of Emma, I cant get past her because I have no 6 star champ (as of posting this) and I'm missing out on 15k 5* shards which is really Important to me Right now

Everyone complaining they can't kill bosses in legendary or epic - that means the difficulty isn't meant for you. Sure, the rewards look awesome - but they aren't for where you are progression wise. Instead of complaining that you can't best the hardest difficulties and get the best rewards, do an easier difficulty this month, build up your account and try again on next month's side event.

That isn't the case boss does not change and that was apart of the island.
The boss should change randomly every time we start the quest.
I already defeated all of them except boss item less.
I just wanted that bug to be fixed soon

That is not a bug... it is random as long as you complete a map... just like every quest in the game (those with random champions like daily quests) the map does not change until you beat the boss... same with items on maps they won't change unless you beat the boss (for those who revive farm in act 4... the big key is to finish the map and not just grab the revive or else it won't reset the map)

All the T2A requires 2 keys.

4 keys = 2 T2A, 7,500 5* Shards, 2,000 6* Shards

Sounds pretty good to me.

This may have been posted, I really didn't have time to read them all, but I misunderstood what this event was in a way, so I was under the impression that there's 28 paths & 35 keys, so I apparently & mistakenly thought we'd run all 28 paths on a difficulty then use the other 7 left over keys for a did difficulty but 1 path just cost me 2 keys, so looks like I was dead wrong, anyone else misunderstand this event??

U know in the back of my mind I felt like kabam was being overly generous with this side quest and that's out of character, if it's to good it's prob to good to be true I guess.

That's IF you run all 28 paths of a difficulty. I for one will bypass a good bit from legendary like t4cc for extra shards from epic. That's more keys I can use there.

Emma Frost is a character you can counter if you learn to fight her, even with lesser ranked champs. Try dueling to practice baiting her sp1.

@Kabam Miike @Kabam Zibiit @Kabam Vydious @Kabam Porthos @Kabam Lyra Team, this might be the best side quest you have ever put on. Just change the name of it every month, rotate the Champs to align with monthly content (or just go from Mutants, to Inhumans, to Fan4, To Avengers, to the Kabal, Sin6, Spider Verse, etc.) and keep it rolling every month!

I love it for many reasons:

No daily timers. Don't play it for a week then catch up, that's great!
No cost to pop in and have a look around and no cost to exit, that's simply amazing. You can pull your boat up to shore, drop anchor, get out your telescope and have a look around, say "nope", pull up the anchor and sail away!
You only incur a cost when you open a Gate. That's great! And to get the daily Keys, your challenges aren't on a daily timer.... e.g. you can get this one key but have 24 hours to get it then it goes away... none of that! Awesome.
No energy cost to explore! Awesome.
The fights are fun and challenging but do-able.
Overall the cost-benefit of this side quest and stress vs. enjoyment factor is A+.
There is so much timed content and energy and other restrictions in AQ, AW, daily content that this is a breath of fresh air.

During these times of Covid, economic hardships, kids returning to school, racial inequality, and more, this is just what the Doctor ordered!

Awesome work! Let's roll with this as the side quest every month!

Thank-you Team Kabam!

That path that cost two keys is really two paths... just there is a locked path off the other path

Hey kabam I have a problem, in your post yall said "The Bosses are still random" Please Explain to me how for the past week I was only getting weapon X

Capn_Dante

They are random once the map resets... maps only reset when the boss is beaten... beat the boss and then you get another random boss (which could be the exact same as the previous one)

Kill_Grey

Hey kabam I have a problem, in your post yall said "The Bosses are still random" Please Explain to me how for the past week I was only getting weapon X

I've only gotten both mags alternating between each other. And there was an Emma once.
Always demolish both of them with havok.

Jazzyman

Well if I do have to beat wolverine then does anyone got any tips to help

Whaaaat

I know some people from my alliance that were banned for 7 days, and now that they can log-in again into the game, they still have the champs that they opened with the extra shards from the side eq
Wasn't Kabam supposed to remove the extra rewards?
I would happily take a 7 day ban if I was suppose to keep the extra rewards (but 'unfortunately' I didn't exploit it)

User121077

I may have missed this, but is there any bonus for 100% exploration of one map? Not being greedy, just curious.

If you get the featured crystal and hold on to it will it change with the next batch of champs?

@Gsmooth21 No! If you purchased VW then it's not going to evolve in Mercedes LOL. Purchased crystal batch is not going to change after next featured crystal batch update!:) But you can save shards for next one!;)

lets hope Kabam learns from this event and makes the next one as good with less bugs

The “two key” paths actually unlock two paths...
