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.

    Extremely underwhelming, won't be wasting time doing these

    I will wait to see how they are ... can't say anything for now.

    Question: Spider-Verse crystal. Will it include any new 2-star? Like Carnage, Spider-Gwen, Venom, etc ...

    And what is the Ultimate Spider-Verse crystal?

    Spider-Man, Miles Morales Spider-Man, Symbiotic Spider-Man, SpiderGwen, Electro, Rhino, Venom, Agent Venom, Venompool and Carnage is what's listed for the spiderverse crystal in the July calendar so I can only assume it's like an ultimate crystal which only has those characters.

    Wow..this sucks. Imagine going through all the trouble posted above and end up pulling a spidey gwen out of that crystal. Bet those spidey verse crystal contain 2 and 3 stars aswell.. and probably same terrible drop rates as a phc. If we end up doing 90 quests for a month to get mainly 2* then this is really f#@cked up.
    Why not a monthly quest like normal?

    bro there is a monthly quest along with this lol

    Any advantage of playing the same one multiple times or are the rewards only for 100% complete/first pass?

    Yes, of course those crystals contain 2* and 3*s. If you complete every run on all difficulties you'll earn 45 of those crystals. Do you really expect Kabam to give out 45 4* crystals to everyone?

  • HulksmasshhHulksmasshh Member Posts: 742 ★★★
    If someone does all 90 of the heroic and master quests only (not likely) then the maximum rewards would be:
    - 63,000 spiderverse shards (31 crystals)
    - 4,500 4-star shards
    - 4,500 5-star shards
    - 54,000 T4B shards (1.5 T4B)
    - 90 T4CC shard crystal

    And then there is whatever you get out of the chests: rare title, spiderverse shards, ultimate spiderverse crystal(think that is guarenteed 3 or 4-star). So overall not that great, but still something. Much worse than what could have been gotten from the GOTG quests + scrapyard.

    Hopefully infobot can be set up to send notifications when the stark assignments are up lol

    One way of looking at the rewards for Master:

    720 t4c shards you would need to complete the t3c quest 4 times to get as many shards & each run on the t3c quest is more than 25 energy.

    So I think it's worth it... especially if you're close to 3 t4c's of the same class like I am on multiple classes.

    isnt the 5* crystal shards 18k lol. 50×4(if you do 4 times) totals 200 a day times that by 90 assingments would equal 18k lol

    Rewards reset with each Stark Assignment, and you can get completion and exploration rewards each time they appear.

    If its anything like the GTOG shards then that will be a big disappointment to anyone who has been playing for a while 2* champs are worthless

    Yeah just saw..tought this was replacing the monthly quest like sevral others tought aswell.. but its just extra add on. Lol would have been better of they had announced monthly quest first and then this.

    Unless you can max sig a couple of the "typical" ones and start getting the IIF crystals from it. I did that with my Gamora with the GTOG event.

    I never said anything about 45 4*.
    Normally they release monthly quest info first but this time they released the info from this first. So tought we didnt get a monthly quest like normal..and if that was the case i would expect better pull chance thats all. But its like gaurdians so its just extra. Next time read other peoples post better before you decide to post a smartass reaction.

    What is this supposed to do for endgame players looking for new content with good rewards?
  • JaffacakedJaffacaked Member Posts: 1,415 ★★★★
    Thus is an extra way to earn some rewards in top of the normal event quest, not sure why people are moaning at a chance for more rewards lol

    @Kabam Doot will we be able to start these quests without doing the 14.0 update, or, similar to the new event quest, is the update mandatory? Thanks!

    The Update will be necessary for these Quests as well.
  • DLegendDLegend Member Posts: 745 ★★★
    So if the rewards are so low, that means there will only be like 2-5 fights per map?
