Summoners!
As mentioned in our Dev Diary on The Champions of the Contest, we’ve been working on some major revisions to Solo Events! We started by looking at ways to add Signature Stones to Solo Events, but then decided, why stop there?
There are some big changes coming to Solo Events, including updates to the rewards and solo crystals!
As you move up through each Progression Level, you’ll find your 22-Hour Solo Event Milestone and Rank rewards keep getting better! 7-Hour Solo Events will also change as you progress but are lumped into groups of Progression Levels.
First, while the number of points for doing a certain task will not change, as your progression level increases, the points required to achieve each milestone will as well. This should help less experienced Summoners achieve these milestones, and progress with a player as they move further in their journey.
Quest Completion now awards more points for completing the Uncollected Difficulty Event Quests and even more for completing the Cavalier Difficulty Event Quests!
Hero Use has seen a pretty big update. A big part of it is that 5-Star and 6-Star Champion usage now gives more points than 4-Star Champion usage. Additionally, players gain different amounts of points depending on if they are fighting in an Arena, Duel, or Quest, and get bonus points based on the rarity level of the enemy defeated!
Class Combat Events will now only award points for fighting, and also award bonus points for finishing fights with specific final attacks!
Make sure to check out the “How to Score Points” info for events when they come back around.
The new Supreme Solo Crystals contain some very valuable rewards, such as 5 and 6-Star Arena Boosts, 4 and 5-Star Signature Stone Crystals, 4-Star Awakening Gems, as well as Lesser Champion, Health, and Attack Boosts, and even a chance at 4500x Tier 5 Basic Catalyst Fragments or 7200x Tier 2 Alpha Catalyst Fragments! These Crystals are only available to Summoners that have become Uncollected, and also don’t contain any Experience Boosts!
Sorry stockpilers, your existing Lesser and Greater Solo Crystal shards will not change to the new Solo Crystal Shards. They’ll be mass converted into Solo and Greater Solo Crystals.

Progression based Events
Currently, Solo Events are available to Summoner in 3 different buckets based on Prestige. We’re doing away with this, and moving to use Campaign Progression instead!As you move up through each Progression Level, you’ll find your 22-Hour Solo Event Milestone and Rank rewards keep getting better! 7-Hour Solo Events will also change as you progress but are lumped into groups of Progression Levels.

There aren’t any new events at this time, but there are some things to note.First, while the number of points for doing a certain task will not change, as your progression level increases, the points required to achieve each milestone will as well.

Changes to Solo Crystals
Say goodbye to different Shards for different Crystals. Moving forward, Solo Events will award “Solo Crystal Shards”, and you can use them to purchase Solo Crystals (1000 Shards) (formerly known as Lesser Solo Crystals), Greater Solo Crystals (2000 Shards), or the new Supreme Solo Crystal, available for 10 000 Shards!The new Supreme Solo Crystals contain some very valuable rewards, such as 5 and 6-Star Arena Boosts, 4 and 5-Star Signature Stone Crystals, 4-Star Awakening Gems, as well as Lesser Champion, Health, and Attack Boosts, and even a chance at 4500x Tier 5 Basic Catalyst Fragments or 7200x Tier 2 Alpha Catalyst Fragments!

Rewards for Solo Events
Right now, different events give different rewards. Moving forward, all events will have the same set of Milestone and Rank Rewards. That just makes sense, right?Coming Soon!
You won’t be waiting long for these updates. New Solo events are going through final passes with our QA team, and are targeted to launch on Tuesday (barring any possible last-minute issues found in testing that could cause a delay)! Keep in mind that some of the old 7 Hour events may spawn before the new ones are activated. Additionally, the new 22 Hour Quest Completion Solo Event will not spawn until October, as it requires the October Monthly Quest to accurately award points.Post edited by Kabam Boo on

I would say at least let us convert these ungodly amount of shards for double the price of the new ones. I’m sure most don’t want the trash that’s found in these current crystals and would take a bad trade to at least not have 150 40% XP boost expiring.
They were planning to use the shards they had saved to buy the newer crystals, and are now finding out we can’t do that. Didn’t want extra.
Also, thank god 5 and 6 star arena boosts are going to be more available. Those things are still a pain to get.

Well, EXCEPT for a whole bunch of exceptions to the Awarded POINTS rules as was laid out immediately after that statement 😀
Sounds good though.
Although people will still be complaining “LEVELUP IS MISSING” if it doesn’t show up for 3 days.
And on SOLO shards, actually don’t think people really expected the huge amounts we have never opened would somehow suddenly start giving us better stuff from them. Maybe “wished” for that to be the case, but come on... really ?
The ton of 4-hr Free Crystals never turned into 4-hr Uncollected Free ones (only new ones earned were).
I’m just thankful there are still revives and units.......
Imo the real draw of those Supreme Solo Crystals are the boosts, which can be used for AW. And from that perspective alone, I understand why the game team wouldn’t want us hoarders being able to use our stockpiled fragments for a limitless supply of war boosts. Whilst it definitely would have been nice, it’s a pretty fair decision.
And what's with all these arena boost crystals? No one is asking for them, we already get enough of these useless items from war crystals.
