You didn't mention if we quit the quest that our star mine coordinates wouldn't be refunded??
Think about it. If you entered the fight, did a bunch of fights (in which you earn Star Ore instantly after each fight), and then quit, you would still have the Ore.
Now if your entry ticket (coordinates) were returned to you upon a quit, and re-use the entry ticket again (and again, and again), you could scam your way to infinite amount of Star Ore.
Yes, there aren’t infinite amount of stuff in the store in order to buy with it, but you could be a very weak player, and just get by with only doing 1 fight per quest before dying, and you could still max out all available store items available to you within the very first day.
I'm about to max out on my Valkyrie store. Friends with gold problem were asking if these extra star ores will convert to gold or not. This is not mentioned in the post.
If they do not convert to gold.. we can stop doing EQ after couple of days.
Extremely frustrated to find out that after buying EVERY possible reward at my current level, I’m 12,000 short of the top reward… Poor form Kabam. Or poor math; either way, I’d be embarrassed.
What happens to excess ore after event ends? Will it get converted to gold? If so, I have like 10 unused tickets and already bought everything so might be worth it for the gold.
I bought the shop empty a week ago as far as my level allowed. Now I have 200,000 star ore left. I still haven't found an answer as to what happens to the rest of the ore. I hope that you can at least convert it into gold so that the next milestones can still be reached. Many would be happy to receive feedback. @kabam
. Leftover Ore will not be converted. So don’t have to bother even doing rest of Side Quest runs once you have bought everything in Store that you are allowed to for your progression. Keep in mind there is still some Ore coming in final 1-2 days of calendars too.
I want to take a moment to point out some design principles I really liked with this event:
1) choose your rewards / order of rewards. I needed t5b early in the month. I got it. I wanted to gamble on shards late. I did it. If the r4 mats didn’t make a difference between ranking a champ and not, I could wait and get lots of smaller stuff early.
2) did not require 100% of content. I know people were hoping that ore would be turned to good, but regardless of that decision, I appreciate either not having to run it 28x or being able to run lower difficulties and still get what I want
3) the difficulty was manageable. I was able to slog through it itemless (but a bit slow) on my Cav account and comfortably complete it with my TB roster. This could’ve been worse depending on champions selected and the blind fights. Kabam avoided a misstep there imo.
Lots of players who didn’t explore act 7 as it was released are now trying to get it done by cyber weekend so they can reach paragon. A less grindy event (especially alongside the items-only EQ offers) gave a great opportunity to dive into story content.

Looking for an official reply.
