Update to Solo Events

Summoners!

As mentioned in our Dev Diary on The Champions of the Contest, we’ve been working on some major revisions to Solo Events! We started by looking at ways to add Signature Stones to Solo Events, but then decided, why stop there?

There are some big changes coming to Solo Events, including updates to the rewards and solo crystals!

Progression based Events

Currently, Solo Events are available to Summoner in 3 different buckets based on Prestige. We’re doing away with this, and moving to use Campaign Progression instead!

As you move up through each Progression Level, you’ll find your 22-Hour Solo Event Milestone and Rank rewards keep getting better! 7-Hour Solo Events will also change as you progress but are lumped into groups of Progression Levels.

The Events

There aren’t any new events at this time, but there are some things to note.

First, while the number of points for doing a certain task will not change, as your progression level increases, the points required to achieve each milestone will as well. This should help less experienced Summoners achieve these milestones, and progress with a player as they move further in their journey.

Quest Completion now awards more points for completing the Uncollected Difficulty Event Quests and even more for completing the Cavalier Difficulty Event Quests!

Hero Use has seen a pretty big update. A big part of it is that 5-Star and 6-Star Champion usage now gives more points than 4-Star Champion usage. Additionally, players gain different amounts of points depending on if they are fighting in an Arena, Duel, or Quest, and get bonus points based on the rarity level of the enemy defeated!

Class Combat Events will now only award points for fighting, and also award bonus points for finishing fights with specific final attacks!

Make sure to check out the “How to Score Points” info for events when they come back around.

Changes to Solo Crystals

Say goodbye to different Shards for different Crystals. Moving forward, Solo Events will award “Solo Crystal Shards”, and you can use them to purchase Solo Crystals (1000 Shards) (formerly known as Lesser Solo Crystals), Greater Solo Crystals (2000 Shards), or the new Supreme Solo Crystal, available for 10 000 Shards!

The new Supreme Solo Crystals contain some very valuable rewards, such as 5 and 6-Star Arena Boosts, 4 and 5-Star Signature Stone Crystals, 4-Star Awakening Gems, as well as Lesser Champion, Health, and Attack Boosts, and even a chance at 4500x Tier 5 Basic Catalyst Fragments or 7200x Tier 2 Alpha Catalyst Fragments! These Crystals are only available to Summoners that have become Uncollected, and also don’t contain any Experience Boosts!

Sorry stockpilers, your existing Lesser and Greater Solo Crystal shards will not change to the new Solo Crystal Shards. They’ll be mass converted into Solo and Greater Solo Crystals.

Rewards for Solo Events

Right now, different events give different rewards. Moving forward, all events will have the same set of Milestone and Rank Rewards. That just makes sense, right?

Coming Soon!

You won’t be waiting long for these updates. New Solo events are going through final passes with our QA team, and are targeted to launch on Tuesday (barring any possible last-minute issues found in testing that could cause a delay)! Keep in mind that some of the old 7 Hour events may spawn before the new ones are activated. Additionally, the new 22 Hour Quest Completion Solo Event will not spawn until October, as it requires the October Monthly Quest to accurately award points.

Good stuff. So, is there no t3b frags available? I'll miss them, but obviously the change is for the better overall.

Man, I've got like 20 of those in overflow 😂

I did too until I had to mass rank up 4*s for the challenge this month 😂😂😂

Seriously though, if 4*s are going to be in cav challenges, that means they expect us to stay current with our 4* roster. That requires rank up resources.

Lol, I'm probably never ranking up 4*s for a while 😂 I've got 19 of 'em, should be enough for any cavalier edition 4* challenge in the future.

I guess I'll use some for my 3*s 🤷🏾‍♂️

Its not even 1 week and you ruined the plan .. Now I am upset..
You have only 50 whereas I have more than 500 unopened lesser and greater boost crystals.. Imaging the level of my frustration!!

That's plenty of XP boosts 😂

But for real not a massive fan of these rewards, they feel very underwhelming

What are the drop rates for each of the items in the Supreme Solo crystals? Seems like that piece of information will help determine their utility...

Dr. Zola
0.1% for T5b and 0.3% for T2a, book it Dan-O.

That may actually be better odds than I expected.

Perhaps I expected too much from the Roadmap. A change like this feels like something that could have been rolled out months ago, probably to better reception.

Months ago we were going through the inexplicable 5* sig stone drought. Finally some sense has prevailed and the 5* sigs are flowing.

This is a major improvement, indeed. So thanks are in order for that.

Unfortunately your mistake was having a plan in the first place..

Supercaptain18

I was about to say if you change the crystals and they don’t keep the lesser or greater solo crystals around then does that mean that there’s less of a chance to get those sweet sweet two star awakening gems for rare two stars that we get in game if so that makes me a little sad because they are hard to come by

The only that now needs to be changed or upgrade are Energy usage.. with so much side quests, milestones etc etc now running we will need more and more energy refills.

Wait...so people want something extra because they've been sitting on stockpiles? Lol.
Most of us were under the assumption that when the crystals were updated we would be able to use the shards the we would currently spend on these crystals to buy the other ones. Lots of people have no reason to open these, as they don’t need XP or arena boosts, etc.

They were planning to use the shards they had saved to buy the newer crystals, and are now finding out we can’t do that. Didn’t want extra.
No one gave that impression. Let's stop and analyze this. Some Players haven't opened those Crystals in YEARS. They're sitting on millions of Shards. What do you think a flood of Sigs like that would do?

Oh the economy of the game would just be in absolute shambles if those endgame players got their hands on some extra 4 star sig stones

I for one am happy with the change. I have over 15 max sig r5s, but im very happy with this. I can now use my sigs on champs id like to have at 200, but doont necessarily need it. I'm endgame-ish, i guess (nearly 100% abyss and act6), im happy with these changes. COnverting our gsc and lsc shards to crystals will be alright, i havent opened those in years, dunno how many shards i have at this point, would be in the millions..

DarkSoulDLX

Can't wait for the changes to go live 😊!!!

Overall, I'm fine with the changes. I welcome the additional rewards. My only concern is that I really hope it doesn't take another 3+ years for these rewards to get updated to match the current state of the game. More frequent updates (every 6 months?) would be nice to see to keep these solo events interesting and relevant.

finish abyss fight in 30 sec

Not going to lie, that's pretty damn slow for a 940k rated champ. Trash hacks. You should feel bad.

They're available to anyone Uncollected as well. Not just End Game. They also contain T2A Frags, 5* Sigs, among other things. People keep minimizing what an influx of things like that means, but I don't think they realize the effects. Rewards aren't just a random number stuck to a dart board. It all has to be balanced with a number of factors.

So I just logged in to see all my solo crystal shards have been converted to crystals. Does that mean I’m stuck with these rubbish crystals and can’t trade them in for the supreme version?

you were never going to be able to trade them in, it is literally in the post.
