**UPDATES TO ENLISTMENT GIFTING EVENT:**
To prevent exploitation, we will prevent new Accounts from being able to Gift enlistment crystals. We will also be taking action on those who are using 3rd Party Sellers, Bots and other farms to gift themselves mass amounts of Enlistment Crystals. Lastly, we will be adding an expiration timer to Enlistment Crystals. All unopened Enlistment Crystals will expire on Oct 18 @ 17:00 UTC. For more information, please see this post: https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/346104/updates-to-enlistment-gifting-event
**KNOWN ISSUE**
We have adjusted the node placement of the new AW maps to better allow path traversal. As a result, defender placements have been reset. Please, take a moment to re-place your defender setup. We will be pushing out a message in-game shortly.

    By selling your 10-12 4*s 3/30you will get nearly 5k shards(very bad idea)
    Which I've done in past and got 5* Rulk, so don't.

    Arenas, the best part of the game

    Arenas, wars, and whenever an event quest with 5* shards come up. Those are your best ways to get 5* shards, especially arenas.

    If u can get top 10% every 4* featured arena for the month, that's 8x400=3200 5* shards. With 8x800=6400 4* shards and assuming you dupe your 3 4* champs, you get another 775 5* shards, that's 3975 5* shards! Not to mention if u bother being the most addicted grinder and grind the top 10% reward for the 4* basic arena, that's 1600 5* shards a month, giving you 5575 5* shards just from arena.

    Yep, just from arena, we haven't counted in the monthly quest, the AW rewards, the summoner advancement, etc. Plenty of ways to get those 5* shards

    ARENAS are the best source of everything in the game.

    completing event quests.

    given that you haven't received your first 5* yet, you're probably in the lower brackets. If you've played less than 3 months, get in the arena now and win.

    If you're not up for getting the top 10% of the featured arena, figure out the most you can do for your roster and your schedule. Even if you have a full time job, family and commitments, there are still options.

    Are you able to at least get 2.2 million in the Featured Arena? That's 200 5* shards, which will add up over time. As others have said, getting 4.7 million and getting into the top 10% will get you 400 5* shards.

    Slightly easier is getting 1.75 million in the basic arena. That will also get you 200 5* shards. For someone who doesn't have any 5*s yet, that's probably the least work for the most 5* shards.

    Arenas also give you units, which you can use to occasionally buy good deals that have 5* shards.

    Are you in a good alliance? If your alliance can get into the rank rewards every week, or at least every two weeks, that will give you a good supply of shards.

    I'm going to close this thread as it's been dormant for several years. If you run into further trouble on this front, you can always start a brand new thread. I hope you are feeling energised after your break.
