    Yes it was stated back in November I believe when Valiant first came out

    Yep, and I can confirm that this hasn't changed. Act 8 Exploration will give you the materials you need to R3 a 7-Star. How that looks will be revealed later!
    Can you confirm another progressive title isn’t going to come with it requiring so many r3? Because man that just isn’t it for now.

    Valiant has not even been around for 6 months. Why are you thinking of another progression title already. That may be another year away at the least.

    NOOOOOOOOOOO! Ugh. The last thing I want to do is go back and 100% 8.1 and 8.2. They sucked compared to 8.3.
    I'm not sure why anyone thought it could be 8.4 exploration. It would make no sense for 8.4 exploration to have better rewards than Act 8 exploration, and if Act 8.4 contained enough materials to do an R3 and Act 8 exploration also had enough materials to do an R3 that would mean Act 8 would contain two R3s worth of rank up, and you could get to Valiant with just Act 8 exploration. But I'm pretty certain Kabam explicitly stated that somewhere in Act 8 would be the resources to do one of them but not both of them.
    They did, they said Act 8 exploration AND either deals or Necropolis completion for those who want to wait for 8.4

    This. If it's the materials to R3 another 7*, it's undoubtedly going to be behind Act Exploration. Logically-speaking, the largest Rewards would be for complete exploration overall.

    I'm wondering if there's a 7 star generic awakening gem for act 8 exploration. Guess we will find out soon

    Nah zero chance of them giving us ags, we've barely received sig stones and they weren't even generic. We will get a few from WoW but there's no way they would start giving us ags this early unless they plan on releasing 8* next year.

    Probably will see first appearance of AGs around 7/4... And generic?... Lol.. chances are that 8.4 explo is a class rank up gem.. No chance on a generic AG regarding Edison's question.

    Maybe a class awakening gem, or that may be too much

    From all this years.. they have to sell it first.. and then they sell the sig stones little by little and go from a ridiculous price and go down little by little...
    That format probably won't change..

    I'm gonna start stifling my own expectations on this out of doubt and expect Act 8 exploration to give an offer to buy the r3 material for units. I'm still not convinced that they'll open the floodgates to Valiant this easily. My own cynicism but "expect disappointment and you'll never be disappointed"

    No, Miike already said Act 8 exploration itself will give you the materials.

    I'm not going to fall for it until I see it in the game. I really hope I'm wrong and Kabam shows me the light but I've been burned too many times in the past to just blindly accept it right now

    I said later on that I just need a T4A. I'm hoping Miike was just speaking generally since they don't have the specifics down. If I have to explore all of Act 8 and the R3 materials take the form of a 1>2 in completion and exploration has 2>3 rank up crystal, that sucks for me. I'm still holding out hope that it'll be split like 1 T4A + 1/3 r3 rank up materials for completion and 2 T4A + the rest of the r3 materials for exploration.

    this thread is kind of sad, cause big rankups used to mean so much more. we have minimal choice in war these days so the big rankups just get set aside for random flavor-of-month attackers anyway.

    when was the last time omega was usable in war? sad times.

    Do you even realize the dumpsterfire these forums would be if they locked that r3 7* behind a unit offer after saying they were going to give us the materials for exploration? Lol I rarely get my hopes up when it comes to rewards but this is just being pessimistic for the sake of being pessimistic.

    I agree with this but I do wanna point out Omega might become relevant again after mastery loadouts are implemented. I have a r4, always wanted to use him in war but the reason I never did is cause I have to spend hundreds of units every single time I want to use him lol.

    Not generic, but a class AG would be amazing…

    As others have stated before:
    - Act 4 had a 5* class AG
    - Act 5 had a 5* generic AG
    - Act 6 had a 6* class AG
    - Act 7 had a 6* generic AG
    - Act 8 HAS TO have a 7* class AG
    😂

    Regardless of whether it's a gem, materials, whatever it is, it'll be sick for paragon to be able to get their second r3.

    Since I'm Valiant, I'm pumped to get my 3rd r3, but also wondering if we will get a class awakening gem, that would be super awesome!
  • OakenshieldOakenshield Member Posts: 2,175 ★★★★
    I’m happy to be pleasantly surprised, but I don’t think we are going to see an AG until July at the earliest and maybe not even till cyber weekend.
  • SandeepSSandeepS Member Posts: 1,268 ★★★★
    7 star awakening gem would be nice in act 8 exploration in addition to getting the ability to r4 someone. Preference is a gem over t4a cos my bottleneck is now t6cc

    It is confirmed we are getting a single gem on act 8 exploration. It is most probably class, but it maybe generic if kabam is kind.

    The AG isn’t crazy talk… a class gem for sig 1 wouldn’t be game breaking
  • captain_rogerscaptain_rogers Member Posts: 9,505 ★★★★★
    Whatever the rewards maybe, it won't be bigger than necro rewards, so don't hope for 7* Ag

    Kabam has been intentionally stingy with granting opportunities to R3 7* and you already want R4s?

    What really sucks is you guys who think you should hit the biggest progression in the game without even exploring act 8.

    Who is "you guys"? I don't want to go back and play more 8.1 and 8.2 just for 1 T4A. If I could get a T4A through exploring 8.4 to complete Act 8, great! since I was planning to do that anyway on the assumption that 8.4 would be more like 8.3.
