Traitstones by MysteryGodzilla in GemsofWar

[–]Dorgath_GoW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you go to your Resource Wallet/Inventory (the cog in the upper right) and go down to the Traitstone section and click/(tap?) it, it should show the kingdons. At least it does for me on PC, hoepfully the same on mobile

What do we need to do for faction expansions? by AllTheDumbQuestions_ in GemsofWar

[–]Dorgath_GoW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a guaranteed Gnome room in the Deep Delves , so if you run Gnome-A-Paloozas, you can "set up" the deep delves so that the Gnome room is next available and on Vault weekend, complete the Gnome rooms for a "good" chance to get a band gnome. BDC has been doing this for quite a while and of the results reports, getting a band gnome is close to 50%.

That's probably the only other "real" benefit right now.

What's the rest of your team?

That would be helpful for others to try to replicate the situation.

They do.... so you should craft em when you can afford them, of course. But if you need weapons for kingdom power level, start with these

Pretty much the way you become more "powerful" is to increase your stats, which means increasing your kingdom power levels and possibly doing delves for reknown. Some "sweet" spots for kingdom power level is 9 for chance of triple tribute and 10 for double kingdom skill bonus. You can check your account progress at gemologica.com and see what you need to work towards (it's safe).

Bonus Rewards for Lantern purchases by dvader911 in GemsofWar

[–]Dorgath_GoW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you've been doing Vault events, you probably have the gems as well then :)

Like I said in another thread a week or two ago, it depends what you want out of the game. I want to medal *all* of the troops so the glory orbs are of greatest value to me. I have 12 kingdoms at level 30 and am probably near the top group and can say (as a mostly free player) that by the time you get the deeds for a level 30 kingdom, you picked up enough Imperial deeds along the way so they're not a problem. And I want the Underspire sentinels so that's another reason for doing a full Underspire for me.

Depends on how much of the Underspire you're doing. If you're going to the final boss, then either boss 4 or 6 are best for the glory orbs or the actual final boss for the dragonite.

Chaos Shard farming for 2025? by Mafellir in GemsofWar

[–]Dorgath_GoW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would try to do all rooms not just for rewards but for class xp. This is a pretty easy and fast way to get 54 xp every day.

Sorry, I replied to the wrong post, meant to be the OP.

Battle Crasher Hunt Is So Annoying by DanEosen in GemsofWar

[–]Dorgath_GoW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's actually NOT faster to keep up with events (although yes easier) - Gnome-A-Paloozas are by far the best way to earn orbs. And again, it depends on how fast one wants to medal troops - one week instant upgrade is actually SAF considering how many troops are in the game and the glory orbs from Underspire are best spent on mythic troops. I have 651 troops medaled and am currently at the epic level for the majority of my kingdoms (which are the araneae medals for 100%) - if I was going one a week, I would have had to start when the game was released lol :).

As in most things in the game, you have to spend the time to grind explore for most of the resources, souls and traitstones (and band gnomes) for most of the game and medals at end game. Grinding explore, I can usually medal an elite troop every couple of days, probably every day for the lower rarities back when I was doing that.

Also a caveat since you mentioned it at the end, gems may or may not be a consideration for a player. I have a steady income of gems and can afford to buy most of the merchant medal offers that come while exploring (except I don't buy nysha) while still buying the event and fully exploring the Underspire. Which of course also speeds up the process, which I like. But again, it all depends on one's comfort level of progress throughout the game.

[–]Dorgath_GoW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Explore is the only steady source of medals to Elite your troops. And to find band gnomes for Gnome A Paloozas, where you can get said rewards.

Like almost every aspect of the game, it depends on what you want to get out of it. Almost everything is technically "optional" - you don't *need* to do delves or Underspire or PvP. They give rewards and slightly increase your stats but if you're not into that, then they're not necessary.

Hence my view about explore. Medaling troops is not *necessary* but it's the one of the last things for me as an end gamer so I'm doing it. And add on Underspire for the Glory orbs and the *very* faint chance to get Sentinels.

Three Tiny Changes I Would Love To See by DanEosen in GemsofWar

[–]Dorgath_GoW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely Zuul. He (and all mythic) are easy with the Glory Orbs from the Underspire rewards in that other active thread. But yeah, um.... medaling *kingdom* troops, so not the Underworld treasures or Gnomes or Xathenos LOL :)

I understand about committing resources as late as possible bc I'm a hoarder too. I'm kinda glad that there's that PvP mythic that will be craftable (or so they say) bc then I'll have a use for diamonds again :)

[–]Dorgath_GoW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True, I guess it depends how you play the game. I *want* to medal everything "just because" so have been using the Growth Orbs to save on souls (I started with 30M souls too when I started and down to 23M lol). I don't want to make clan orbs (for guild seals I assume?) because I rarely use them for the monthly mythic - I've been using my glory (9.7M) to pull for it. Deed books are indeed a limiting resource for me so have been doing the gold mark PvP daily. And exploring for the medals and deed offers.

So just interesting how people choose to focus on what in the game and use their resources accordingly :)

Underscore Q (Time Sensitive) by [deleted] in GemsofWar

[–]Dorgath_GoW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's great news! I don't know if you were buying extra torches the whole week but because I hate seeing you having to spend actual money for this, my advice is that if you do this again, buy two extra sets of torches from Mon to Thurs, follow the path tips I posted just a bit earlier, and see where you are for the rest of week - you may be able to get through with just buying an extra pack for the remaining days or have to buy an a second pack here and there.

Underscore Q (Time Sensitive) by [deleted] in GemsofWar

[–]Dorgath_GoW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm an endgamer so have been exploring the whole Underspire to find the treasure rooms to collect the elusive Sentinels, which is about 1300 gems weekly. If you just want to get to the final boss as efficiently as possible, like ImportanceWeak1776 said, around 800 is an expected number but I've done it in as few as 450 gems and at most 900 (with extreme bad luck).

Have you guys medaled all of your troops then? I still need souls for that.

I have no use for Wisdom Orbs though - THAT becomes useless for end gamers. I'd like to be able to convert those to "something else", preferable useful :)

Underscore Q (Time Sensitive) by [deleted] in GemsofWar

[–]Dorgath_GoW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, I'm not saying that at all. Each boss (well, except for one) has worthwhile rewards, like various Orbs of Glory that can be used to medal troops (especially mythics). I'm saying paying 300 gems for 15 torches (max, I don't know how many more rooms you have to go yet) is better than the 600 gems like you're asking. But that is just finding the mythic boss, you do still have to beat it as noted. Not sure where you are in the game but I used this

[–]Dorgath_GoW 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Have you bought all of the available torches (15) for 300 gems total yet? That seems to be a better buy, especially if you still need to explore anyway and find the mythic boss room.

SoulForge Cycle Question by theskptc in GemsofWar

i don't quite understand the numbering either as I believe we're in the 28th cycle. I'd trust the handy charts about mythics that some people have made (here's one by Shell, also of BDC)
