But that's just from milestones. I also get battlechips.which convert to units. At the moment I am opening about one million BC worth every three weeks or so, which on average generates 1900 units. At least that's what my long term average is, although the statistical average should be 1800 units per one million. Let's go with that number. That is 600 units per week from arena crystals.
So I'm getting about 1200 units per week at least from the arena. I could get more, and I used to get more, but I've slowed down my grinding a bit. In actuality, I'm probably averaging a bit more than that, but that's a safe number.
It does take some free time to grind this much, and I don't expect everyone to be able to do that, but most people also aren't getting tons of glory from AQ either. My alliance currently does Map 6/4/2 and gets about 170ish million and about 4000 glory per week. This places us consistently within the top 4000 alliances in AQ, which is not spectacular, but also in the top 20% of all alliances in the game, more or less. The vast majority of players are doing far less. The amount of arena grinding to equal that effort would also be far less than what I'm doing. Consider the effort it takes to earn 52 units per week in the arena is literally one arena round per day. If we assume AQ is at least half an hour a day, that translates to about 12-15 arena rounds per day. That's not an insignificant amount of arena rewards.
Also, while I do need free time to arena grind, I don't necessarily need *dedicated* time. I can grind while watching TV, while listening to music, while doing lots of other things concurrently where the time isn't strictly dedicated to grinding. That's not the case for AQ. If I'm not focused on AQ when I'm doing AQ, there goes all my glory on AQ potions.
And come on, I know you have a massive roster and AQ can't be difficult for you lol
Saying arena doesn’t give you 🤬 right before mentioning something that arena directly and reliably gives you (EVERY SINGLE DAY) is an interesting debating strategy 😂
Try to keep up, it's already been explained. I don't have 3 hours a day to do arena like you, I have other things going on. Not reading the thread and then commenting is an interesting attack strategy.
😂 😂 😂 ALRIGHT… Yeah I just use my max 4 stars in the summoner trial. It takes like 10 minutes. And then I build up to about 20K battle chips and pop the small arena crystals at the same time, I always get 45 units that way. Just a thought bud, take care.
If you havent been in an alliance lately, you cant really answer this. With loyalty store..my alliance doesnt use any health or revive potions except for the 40% revive at the loyalty store. So AW costs us relatively nothing. And having t6b and t3a in the loyalty store means its all benefit. You even get about the same loyalty for loosing a war. So if your goal is to get r4’s, this is a no brainer. Regardless of gifting.
In AQ, like someone posted..you can get materials to r1-r3 stuff in the glory store. Amd they’ll have events for alliances in battlegrounds I believe.
You want to go at it and explore act 6 and 7? Thats fine, but its not like players in alliances cant do that either. We just have a lot more options to get stuff.
Yes, if you have disposable cash, these days you can buy a heapload of stuff they are selling. But I am betting most players wont spend that much and alliances will still help them get to tb and paragon. In no way are alliances deemed obsolete because a handful of players want to solo content.
Actually, my numbers are reasonably consistent with everyone else who has done actual long term measurements. I haven't seen credible measurements that were wildly different. The problem is when you're opening TB crystals, one million BC is just twenty crystals. You have a 15% chance per crystal to drop units, which means the statistical average for twenty crystals is only three. It will be very common when the average is three to get two or one or even occasionally zero.
This is the average number of units I got, and the number of unit drops I got, for all the TB arena crystals I've opened to date. This is 25 batches of 20, as I generally open them one million BC at a time:
There is huge variance in there, because there's going to be when you're only opening twenty at a time. But what is the actual long term average across all 500 crystals? 93 units per crystal (46500/500) or 1860 per 20 crystals (one million BC worth). Basically in-line with the calculated statistical average.
You shouldn't open TB crystals if you don't want to see those 375s (the minimum) because they are going to come up. In fact, statistically speaking, I should be seeing my first zero unit batch at some point: it should happen on average once every 26 batches.
By comparison, this is what 22 batches of UC crystals looks like (opened one million BC worth per batch; 100 crystals):
Way less variation between batches, because you're opening five times the number of crystals per batch. What''s the measured average for those? 1926 per batch, which for this sample size is statistically consistent with 1860 above, and more or less within the margin of error for the calculated average of 1800 (which for those UC crystals is in the general vicinity of 100 units or so).
That's forty seven million BC worth of drop data that confirms the calculated statistical average as being around 1800 per million battlechips, with the pigeonhole variations you'd expect for those sample sizes.
Incidentally, I don't record batches, I record individual drops. This is to check to see if the drops are not just conforming to averages, but also conforming to statistically reasonable variations in clustering. This is what 2200 UC arena crystals looks like, for example, when the unit drops are highlighted:
That seems fairly random to me.
