Announcing Quests: Stark Assignments

MY SPIDEY-SENSE IS TINGLING!
--
Every hero has to start somewhere, no matter how old they are. Peter Parker is no different, but unlike most Super Heroes, he’s got a mentor looking out for him. Tony Stark has had his eye on Spider-Man for a while, but now it’s time to truly see if this fresh-faced wall crawler has what it takes!

Look Out!
Tony Stark has set up a series of short, challenging Quests for Spider-Man to test his reflexes in, but since Peter is a minor and Tony doesn’t want any legal fiascos, he needs YOUR help to try them out! Periodically throughout the day, 1 of 4 Stark Assignments will spawn, and Summoners will have 2 hours to complete them before they disappear! There’s 4 Difficulties of each Stark Assignment - Beginner, Normal, Heroic, and Master - so choose the challenge that best suits you for the best possible rewards!

Here Comes the Spider-Man (and other member of the Spider-Verse)
Make sure to play as many Stark Assignments as you can! Chests in these Quests guarantee Spider-Verse Crystal Shards, with rare chances at an exclusive Title, or even an Ultimate Spider-Verse Crystal, so you won’t want to miss out!

Q&A

How long do these quests run for?

Since these quests aren’t always available, it’s hard to say, but they will be appearing 3-4 times a day between July 5th at 10:00 AM PDT and August 2nd at 10:00 AM PDT.

So, wait, we don’t know when these spawn?

Nope! Without going into too much detail, they are organized in a way so everyone across the world will have a fair shake at these throughout the day. If you’re keen on knowing when these are going on, though, we have a couple ways to find out:

First, keep your eyes on the home screen for a banner indicating when one is active.

Second, we will be sending out Push notifications for some of these Quests, although it won’t be for every single one, since we don’t want to spam your phones.

Lastly, and most importantly, our Twitter Account (@MarvelChampions) has been set up to tweet when one of these quests activates, so follow us on Twitter and turn on notifications to be notified!

Why are the rewards so low?

These Quests are quite small and are meant to be played over the course of the month as many times as possible. Fully exploring the Master diifficulty only requires 25 energy and 7-8 fights at most. Difficulty-wise, these quests are relatively easy as well, having been tuned to around the difficulty of the first map of the corresponding Event Quest difficulty (i.e. A Master Stark Assignment is about as hard on a per-fight basis to Quest 1 of the Master Event Quest). Over the course of the month, these Quests will appear 90 times, so you’ll have ample opportunity to maximize your rewards.

That’s a lot of stuff… Can you recap for me?

Yes:

- 3 to 4 times a day, a Stark Assignment Quest will appear for 2 hours.
- All Stark Assignments have 4 difficulties: Beginner, Normal, Heroic, Master.
- The Energy required to fully explore each difficulty is: 12, 15, 20, and 25, respectively.
- There are 4 possible variations of Stark Assignment that can appear, each of which has different potential Bosses, Buffs, and Maps.
- There will be 90 Stark Assignments available throughout the month.
- In addition to the Rewards below, each quest will contain chests with Spider-Verse Crystal Shards, and rare chances at an exclusive title or even an Ultimate Spider-Verse Crystal.
- If you want the most up-to-date notifications on when these spawn, follow @MarvelChampion on Twitter and turn on notifications, we will be tweeting every time a Stark Assignment is live.

Yep! Collectors can get some new Champs to add to their 2-Star Roster!

Awesome. Thanks Miike. (Just read the other Thread. LOL)

Only big issue I see is the same as when the HoH events were running. More things to spend energy on, but still the same limited amount of energy to use.

Dealing with it for a week was fine because the ISO and potion rewards were worth it, but it means that other events are neglected (story, Carnage month event, and daily).

Wouldn't be possible to do the daily T3 cat event and 3 of these special events (while ignoring everything else).

If anything, there needs to be a sale on refills.

Do you have a list of who they are going to be? How many of them? Or do we need to find out for ourselves?

Also, what does the Ultimate Spider-Veese crystal contains?

I can't say just yet! But you'll see tomorrow! The Ultimate Spider-verse crystal is the same, but only includes 3 and 4 Star Version of the Champions (expect Rhino... No 4-star version of Rhino)

There's a Spidey-Verse crystal in the Login Calendar. Click it and it will pop up a list of what's inside. Like so:

Sad that the new Spidey and Vulture aren't in it, but I suppose they're too new to be in a crystal that people can get so easily...

BeholdKT

Look at all of these whiners. Boohoo, here's a tissue.

Excited for these quests!

They say the rewards are low and they won't do it.
* 1 week later* Completed every quest.

furymachine84

When will it be released for Android in Google store?

Magrailothos

These sound good. Sure the rewards per game are relatively small; but so are the time and energy requirements. These quests are also ideal for the players who DON'T spend cash on the game, or those who are starting out. Maybe not so impressive for the big fish...

doing master and heroic 4x a day for the whole month will net:

54000 t4b shards (1.5 t4b)
4500 5* shards
4500 4* shards
90 t4cc fragment crystals (1.8 full t4cc)
+other stuff

seems pretty legit to me

Just a correction: although they say the events will appear "three or four times a day" that's probably just a hedge due to timezones and exactly when someone will count "a day." The announcements specifically says they will appear "90 times" over the month, so only 3 times a day on average. And it is likely the average person will only run them twice a day, since random chance suggests one event will happen when you are asleep per day. That means the average person that wants to run them as often as possible will run them 60 times, not 120 times. By my count, 60 runs through heroic and master equals:

42,000 spider-verse shards (21 crystals)
3000 4* shards (1.5 4* crystals)
3000 5* shards (0.3 5* crystals)
36000 T4B fragments (1 T4B crystal)
60 T4CC fragment crystals

I think your calculations imply running three a day, not four a day like you state above. But even that is unlikely, unless you wake up every hour or so to check. The announcement says they aren't even planning on tweeting out every single run to prevent spamming, only some of the runs.

The rewards are still pretty good, considering that it looks like it will take about 2700 energy to do 60 runs of heroic and master. That sounds pretty close to the energy costs to run full explore of heroic and master of the average monthly event, and the rewards seem better to me overall in many respects (you get far more 5* shards, for example).

Not cool

Tmasters1984

I've been on the lookout for these and nothing showing. Have closed/reopened etc.

Are they meant to show under the event tab?

Golden4rce

I like the quests, but they don't always appear in-game reliably ; I saw from twitter today that one had started but I could not get it to appear without closing the app. One hint though (other than twitter) is that they always seem to start exactly on the hour.

they have a pattern you know.
its 8 hours difference form 1st quest to the 2nd.
and then 7 hours difference from 2nd to 3rd.
and then again 8 hours difference.

so its 8,7,8,7,8... for next quest just count 8 hours from last quest and then 7 hours from when its starts and so on.

That's already been said.

blastedmoon

Unless you dupe a 4* every other day.Where else can you get 100 4*&5* shards a day??
I can imagine that will help a lot of ppl.

Player_Name1

Was half way through fighting the boss and then event ended, making me unable to finish. Will I get the heals and revives I just wasted ?

Speedbump

nope, make better time to complete it. There's a timer for a reason.

@Kabam Miike I wish that you guys wouldn't have included 2* Carnage in the crystal, as he was an exclusive to Marvel Insider rewards for 10,000 points... it just kinda defeats the exclusivity!

The_Push

Will crystals convert to normal PHCs at some point? Or is this a use them or lose them situation?

Omg. Dude. Wrong thread. This is an old one for Stark assignments.. completely different and should not be merged.

And second, read your in game messages. It ain’t June 6, 10am PDT yet is it? You got at least 11.5 hours to go.

bloodyCain

Will you guys notify us on twitter EVERY SINGLE time when the quest is available? If you guys can't do at least that, I don't see a reason to follow you on twitter.

Dude. Also seriously? Post in a current thread that is in topic. No. No one is going to Twitter about Deadpool every day. Especially not when you’re asking in a Stark thread.
