Time to Take a Little Class Trip!

Summoners!

It’s time to take a little trip with your friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man! He’s heading away with some of his classmates on a well deserved vacation. Unfortunately for Spider-Man, his chaperone has other things planned for him…

Nick Fury has requested that our Summoners join in on the new Event, Spider-Man: Class Trip!

This limited-time Quest will have four Chapters, with a new Chapter opening every Wednesday. To choose your difficulty you’ll need to gather S.H.I.E.L.D. Markers throughout The Battlerealm and trade them in for Tiered Permission Slips.

The Quests!

Starting July 3, 10:00 AM PDT, SPIDER-MAN: CLASS TRIP will become available. This Quest has 4 Chapters, and will begin with the first Chapter unlocked. The next Chapter will be unlocked every Wednesday until the event ends on August 7 10:00 AM PDT. To enter each chapter, you’ll need to spend a Permission Slip! These can be purchased in the Souvenir Store. Each Difficulty requires a different tier of Permission Slip.

Here’s a breakdown of their costs:

Level 1 Permission Slip (Beginner Difficulty) - 150 S.H.I.E.L.D. Markers
Level 2 Permission Slip (Normal Difficulty) - 250 S.H.I.E.L.D. Markers (Available for Contenders and beyond)
Level 3 Permission Slip (Heroic Difficulty) - 500 S.H.I.E.L.D. Markers (Available for Proven and beyond)
Level 4 Permission Slip (Master Difficulty) - 750 S.H.I.E.L.D. Markers (Available for Conqueror and beyond)
Level 5 Permission Slip (Epic Difficulty) - 1000 S.H.I.E.L.D. Markers (Available for Uncollected and beyond)

Each Quest has 3 paths. On some Difficulties there will be Paths with a Champion Gate, These Gates can only be unlocked if you have that specific Champions on your team. That Champion can be of any Rarity and must be on your team in the Quest in order to unlock the Gate. You'll need a variety of Champions from the Spider-Verse to explore the entirety of these Quests.

Don’t have one of these Champions? Don’t worry! On the Final week of the Event, we’ll be launching new Special Objectives that reward you with a 2-Star Version of the Champion for defeating them 50 times in Arenas, Quests, or Duels!

You’ll also earn Homesick Crystal Shards in Special Objectives that start on July 3rd. These Crystals guarantee at least a 2-Star with a rare chance at a 3 or 4-Star Agent Venom, Carnage, Doctor Octopus, Electro, Green Goblin, Iron Patriot, Rhino, Spider-Gwen, Spider-Man (Classic), Spider-Man (Miles Morales), Spider-Man (Stark Enhanced), Spider-Man (Symbiote), Symbiote Supreme, Venom, Venom the Duck, Venompool or Vulture. (4-Star Rhino not included).

Where do I get those S.H.I.E.L.D. Markers?

There are 3 places to collect S.H.I.E.L.D. Markers:

- You can find them by completing Special Objectives with Spider-Verse Heroes, Sinister Six, or Symbiote Champions.
- You can collect them from a special Login Calendar
- Completing Class Trip Quests.

Then you take those markers, and head over to the Souvenir Store to trade them in for Permission Slips, special Profile Pics (for 1000 Markers each), and more as the month goes on!

Take Home a Souvenir!

Have spare S.H.I.E.L.D. Markers? In the last week of the event, we’ll be adding a selection of items for you to spend your spare Markers on! These items are not as good as the rewards that you can earn in the Class Trip quests, so if you can do the Quests, we suggest doing those first!

Speaking of the Quest Rewards… What are they?

For Completion and Exploration of these difficulties (including Chapter and Quest Rewards), you will receive:

Rewards may come in combinations of Shards/Fragments and Whole Crystals/Catalysts. Rewards and Event Details are subject to change before release.

Pack your bags, Summoners! The trip starts on July 3rd!

No idea why people value shards over rank up resources. 😂
You gotta get champs to rank up first 😂

Agreed. But we do get champs over time. It’s an eventuality.

DrZola

I mean I get that most people are still building up a solid roster and every crystal is another chance at something helpful, but with the pool as large as it is, the odds of an extra 5k shards drastically changing your account are quite low. Rank resources are a gaureenteed positive result that either let you rank a current champion or at the least stash until you pull someone worthwhile

Actually, I’m happy to take both. But I have to be careful with rankup resources that go straight to stash and may pigeonhole me into ranking up a middling champ to avoid their expiration.

There are long-time players with very good rosters who are sitting on inventories of full T4c, full T2a and 3+ T5b who are still looking for one of several “antidote” champs in 5/6* rarity. And many of those same players have hundreds if not thousands of T4c shard/T4c crystals unopened.

The existence of that cohort of players is a virtual guarantee given the way pRNG operates in game.

Could players like that just rank what they have and roll with it? Sure, and some do. Others continue to gather resources that go unused because some of the most desirable champs still elude them. There’s a balance to strike for players like that—holding for the right champ versus reduced game enjoyment/frustration at being resource-rich but champ-poor.

That’s perhaps why some players are hungry for shards over resources—you beat content with champs, but resources that aren’t/can’t be applied to champs don’t beat anyone.

Well I'm at a point where it's a mix. I have a huge line of great champs waiting to be ranked and an okay hoarde or resources to use. I'm waiting until after the 4th to make any rank decisions though. I've got 10 R5s 2 R2S and sitting on 4.5 t5b with aibe of great 5 and 6*s to rank

Worknprogress

I've already got plenty of champs now it's just getting rank resources and making rank decisions

Demonzfyre

I am passing on this side quest was really looking forward to it but once again disappointment came along with it.

Gwenpool offered a guranteed 5* this doesnt

Master and Epic rewards will give a full 5*. You all asked for more access to 5 and 6* shards, well this is part of it. Like i keep saying, its never enough for many.

Demonzfyre

Uhm... can someone explain why Master rewards more 5* shards than Epic?

Probably because of the 6* shards Epic has.

Demonzfyre

Man some people are never pleased. What did you guys expect? 10k 6* shards for a side quest? I'm happy with any additional way to get t5b, t2a, and shards
Yes. Yes they did... they expect variant rewards for a fraction of the difficulty and time needed. Thats nothing new.
The thing about those people complaining is that they are crazy spoiled. Since they got something once they want better the next time. Its extremely annoying.
And some people on here wonder why kabam "never listens" to them.
Its because of **** like this, why is it so difficult to just take something for what it is. Dont like it dont play it.
And yes as usual most will probably hate on guys like us speaking the truth
Yes but kabam has constantly remarked that they have massively increased the amount of 5* and 6* shards since 6:1 and to be honest it’s yet to be seen
I don’t mind if they make it difficult but right now the amount doesn’t seem to have changed unless you count cavalier crystals
They never said massively. In addition they have increased the amount of shard. You use to rarely get 6*s or they would be a lower number, now they are consistently offering 1k or higher. The same with 5*s. Just because they are not giving you a free 5* or 6* a month does not make their statement wrong.
Where did I ever say I wanted a free 6* every month I don’t care if they make insanely difficult content but at least give us a way to get more

They are giving you a way with this quest plus the normal monthly EQ. Face it, you'll never be satisfied with the amount you get ever. You complain about every single event that comes out and its never enough for you.

Demonzfyre

just seems strange that a year old event gave us a guaranteed 5 star Cinematic Crystal, while this event just gives us the legendary crystal which was the reward from the last years master...

It didn't have as much in terms of rewards as this even does.

Then they need to up the amount of events I don’t care if they have to add a cavalier difficulty with 100k bosses but at least give the possibility of getting more shards

I would and you say I complain about every event I’ve only really complained about avengers quest and Atlantean rifts due to the difference in rewards

Gotcha—that’s an enviable position.

But I think there are quite a few players who play for the next crystal cycle, pop to see if it’s a winner, then hold and rank only what they have to if it isn’t—rinse and repeat.

They are waiting for (fill in the blank) to make Variant or Act 6 a little easier or cheaper.

Not always a fun way to play, as I’ve done it, but totally understandable. I see a good bit of it among the “retired but active” category—people who keep up with the game but aren’t pushing hard anymore. There’s so much content now that it’s possible to enjoy key parts of the game and get decent progression without playing anywhere close to 24-7.

Nice new update but would be eternally if rewards were more grand because that's how much we fight for.

Demonzfyre

Nice new update but would be eternally if rewards were more grand because that's how much we fight for.

Rewards are perfectly fine for the content offered.

Worknprogress

I think the variant quests really screwed with a lot of people's rewards expectations

Kobster84

Nice new update but would be eternally if rewards were more grand because that's how much we fight for.
Rewards are perfectly fine for the content offered.

That I’ll agree with just feel there should be more content even if it’s harder

It’s a never ending cycle for you, it feels like there needs to be more content, then more rewards, then more content, you are really never happy

“As part of the introduction of Act 6 and Cavalier, we will also be introducing more content that will help Summoners gain 5 and 6-Star Champions. Some of that content will include, Champion Challenges, several large meta-events and Event Quests as well as, the next iteration of Back Issues. Additionally, we are taking a look at Arenas to see if we can make 5-Star Champions more accessible.”

While the word massively is not used kabam mike did say several large meta events which I don’t think we’ve seen a lot of correct me I’m wrong
They also said they were taking a look at arenas which they haven’t changed anything
@DNA3000
Since that announcement weve had a few (bounty things were huge)

RNG rifts gave me 2 feature 5 star crystals in a single month(30k shards I wouldnt have had)
So they are sticking to that imo

Unless you have really bad RNG luck. I like you was blessed with 2 five star feature Crystal's.

Also:

3 four star crystals
Full t4b
Full skill t4cc
3000 five star shards
4 star tech AG

The rest was bunk.

That's huge luck I feel. However every time before there was rifts I never got so lucky.

Also the epic difficulty was neutered....

Anyways the point is that isn't really an increase.

An increase would be getting 1500 more five star shards and 250 6 star shards for fully exploring master EQ

DalBot

Can we just stop bickering and acknowledge that becoming Cavalier = having access to cavalier crystals = dropping units and real money = more access to 5* and 6* through spending (both pulling them in the crystals and getting dupes of the lower tier champs that give shards for the higher).

*Insert generic defense counter arguments*

DalBot

Voila, here is your "access" to more 5/6* shards in live action for ya

StaphMember

Will multiple permission slips be required to fully explore each difficulty? If so, does the exploration reward at least replenish shield markers used to enter?

I wouldn’t want to spend 1000 markers only to get 800 back for beginner when I could simply save them for Epic/Master

BrudixTree

@""Kabam Miike" What comes from the Ultimate homesick Christal? I really hope that it aint 80/20 for 3 and 4 stars.....

i'm still missing Spider Symbiote, and i only have Classic Spidey in 2*, which i'd rather have him in at least 3* like the rest of my Spidey ppl.

and what about Agent Venom? shouldn't he be a part of this?
