Announcing: Micro-Realms

BIG PYMING

A breakthrough in Pym’s molecular technology has led to the discovery of new Micro-Realms in the Contest! These Realms may be small, but they’re packed full of rewards for the taking. Using Pym Particle Disks, Summoners can shrink down and snatch up these newly discovered treasures. Be careful, as you’ll only be able to stay in these Micro-Realms for 1 hour!

Micro-Realms will be available from July 3rd, 10:00 AM PDT until August 1st, 10:00 AM PDT. You will need to be on our forthcoming build to see and participate in them.

Micro-Realms run in a very similar fashion to our previous Rift events. Not sure what that means? All of the details on this event can be found below!

WHAT ARE MICRO-REALMS?

Micro-Realms are Quests that have ENTRY COSTS. That means you won’t be able to enter them until you collect the respective PYM PARTICLE DISK for that difficulty and spend them to enter. Like previous Rifts, there are 4 Tiers of Micro-Realms, and 4 corresponding Particle Disks. This means you’ll need to collect the right Particle Disk to enter your Micro-Realm of choice.

How do you get those disks? Particle Disk can be purchased from the store with PYM CANISTERS which can be collected from many places in the Contest (Outlined further below). Pym Canisters can buy ANY of the Particle Disks, you’ll just need to earn enough to cannisters to trade for it!

Once you spend your Pym Particle Disk to enter the Micro-Realm, you’ll have 1 hour to collect your prize and defeat the final boss, but it’s not so simple! The path you’ll be sent to is determined by a RANDOM PORTAL, so you won’t know what prize you’ll receive until you enter! Micro-Realms of different tiers contain different rarities of prizes, with the highest tier containing large bunches of T2 Alpha Catalyst Fragments and 5-Star Shards!

So, that’s the gist of it. Collect Pym Canisters and use them to buy Particle Disks which open Micro-Realms of the corresponding Tier, then claim cool prizes. Here’s a handy breakdown of some key info:

BEGINNER: 1x Tier 1 Particle Disk (50,000 Pym Canisters) - 2 Energy per step - (24 energy per play)
NORMAL: 1x Tier 2 Particle Disk (125,000 Pym Canisters) - 3 Energy per step - (36 energy per play)
HEROIC: 1x Tier 3 Particle Disk (325,000 Pym Canisters) - 4 Energy per step - (48 energy per play)
MASTER: 1x Tier 4 Particle Disk (500,000 Pym Canisters) - 5 Energy per step -(60 energy per play)

HOW DO I GET PYM CANISTERS/PARTICLE DISKS?
There’s 4 places you can collect Pym Canisters: The Monthly Event Quest and Arenas are going to be your best source, and they can also be found in the Login Calendar, Starting July 18th they will also be available in Daily Quests.

Pym Particle Disks can be purchased from the Store throughout the event. However, you can only buy each disk a certain number of times. Those numbers are outlined along with rewards below.

HOW MUCH ENERGY DOES THIS COST?
Micro-Realms, like previous Rift Events, cost 2-5 Energy per step, depending on difficulty:

BEGINNER: 2 Energy per step - (24 energy per play)
NORMAL: 3 Energy per step - (36 energy per play)
HEROIC: 4 Energy per step - (48 energy per play)
MASTER: 5 Energy per step - (60 energy per play)

HOW HARD ARE THE QUESTS?
You’ll face off against 5 Enemies in Micro-Realms, all of whom are randomized from a select pool, followed by a final boss. Their difficulty is roughly equivalent to the corresponding Event Quest Difficulty. As a rule, if you can beat a certain difficulty of the Event Quest, you should have no issues completing a Micro-Realm of the same difficulty. Here’s a quick breakdown of what Buffs are present in each difficulty (note that unless a Buff is marked as Global, it only applies to the final Boss):

WHAT IF I FAIL THE QUEST?
Just to be SUPER clear: QUITTING OR NOT COMPLETING THE QUEST WITHIN THE 1 HOUR TIME LIMIT WILL RESULT IN THE LOSS OF BOTH THE PYM PARTICLE DISK USED TO ENTER THE QUEST AS WELL AS ANY REWARDS EARNED INSIDE THE QUEST.

WHAT IF I DON’T WANT TO DO THE QUEST?
Great Question! We know that even if you’re unable to beat a certain Event Quest Difficulty, you may end up with enough Pym Canisters to acquire a Particle Disk. If you’re not so keen on doing that, though, you can always use those Canisters to Open a PYM CRYSTAL.

Pym Crystals award SOME of the prizes a Micro-Realm. The Pym Crystal only contains the following items:

- Premium Hero Crystal Shards
- 3-Star Hero Crystal Shards
- 4-Star Hero Crystal Shards
- 5-Star Hero Crystal Shards

These amounts will be LOWER than what is available from a Micro-Realm . It is ALWAYS more lucrative to play a Micro-Realm instead of opening a Pym Crystal.

WHAT ARE THE REWARDS?
Below is a breakdown of what the potential rewards are for each difficulty of Micro-Realm and the Pym Crystal, as well as the drop rates and total number of runs possible through the quest. These percentages for the Micro-Realms will also be available to view in-game as labels on the Random Portals.

So after dimensional rifts were brought out again last time it really is nice to see the negative feedback about them was taken onboard and the rewards were... reduced.

Damn right! I was so outraged that they dare give us a shot at a 5 star awakening gem let alone a fully formed 5 star or even a featured 5 star. So glad they finally took that trash out of there! Especially instead of a t2 alpha, we have a shot at 1/3 of one, finally they’ve heard us!

PlagueisBane

BTW, ONLY run master difficulty... if you can,

just throwing it out there.

Can you do the micro-realms more than once? Or is this a once-a-day thing?

SknZn

Seatin already figured out kabams logic.
(Some1 with good idea): Should we increase the reward??
Kabam: whaat? Do you know what company work for?
Kabam: why should we increase the reward, when they can buy more reward!
I like the content but it’s going backwards, which makes community even worse.
I wanna enjoy the game, but not this way. If they wanna more successful, they should respect players. Both!!

these rewards or "rifts" have weaker rewards than the last one, the last "rift" had a chance to win fully form 5* and featured 5* crystal with chance of getting a 5* awakening.

sure u get to go back to "micro realms" but these rewards are same as micro realms as it was before

EBG78

Has there been any mention of why there are no pym canisters in the milestones in the 5* feature arena?

TBKlann

Well the rewards are garbage for the energy cost. I ran the heroic costing over half my energy and got 9k t4b frags. At least with rifts if I went through heroic I got master shards, got jack for this one. 1/4 of a t4b. Really need to quit playing energy hogs with these and loong event quests. My playtime will be cut this month because the game is stinking right now. I'll spend more time on some other games. This is usually fun game but getting ridiculous unless you want to spend a fortune.

Beatlerao

@EBG78 I just submitted a ticket about that exact issue. The canisters are in the four star featured arena but nowhere to be seen in the five star. Pretty annoying. Hopefully I’ll get an answer or @Kabam Miike or someone will comment.

Ron_H

lol the title of announcement said big pyming.. i think it was a typo and they actually ment BIG PIMPING..as in what they want to do with all our hard earned $$ 🤪

Fixxx

Is a 3* chest from Master supposed to give out 3600 T2A fragment? It’s one of the weakest rewards, I expect it on 1* or 2*

RedDevil

Very hard to get PYM canisters and the Rewards are weak , decrease energy cost ..

Heddarta

Yay. More game-breaking content!

They're not meant to be. Only the 4* Featured. Long story short, it was worded "4-5 Star Featured". Not "4 AND 5 Star Featured".

Where are the pym canister crystals at? I don’t see them anywhere.

Please don't ask the same question in multiple threads... as posted in your newly opened thread:

Click on the home button (just in case)
Click on the "store" tab.
Scroll to the right if need be >>> look for "pym canisters" and click there.

Gfhdt

What are these rewards? My brother just completed one on heroic and all he got was some iso-8?!

Whilst on my 3rd run in the heroic micro realm on a 3 star path the game crashed and has timed out can you help with this issue please

@Kabam Miike are you able to confirm some or all of the following info about the Micro-Realm crystals? Now that we’re in the back half of the month:

- Will they be available at all BEFORE the Realms end on August 1, or only after?
- How many Pym Particles will they cost?
- What amounts of shards will be available to pull?

Thanks!

Wanted to bump this request as the realms are expiring in a few days, and was hoping to get information on the crystals before they do. Thanks!

KindaGomans3

I’m not sure how that got there I ss it but didn’t click it

jvellus

Can we get some info on the Pym Crystals as far as cost? Are there going to be multiple types of crystals or just one?
