Biggest mistakes you ever made in K&D

[littlefishxbj]

Please feel free to talk about your biggest mistakes ever made in K&D?
For me it has been thoese three.
1.skipped armor of Eurus as I thought it's elements combination is useless :((reason: not knowing you can heel right after defeat using gems. Use: good for fusing fusable lendendary armors)
2.fused away my infernal lord and dark prince from DPC carelessly (should fuse with other 3 star with target in mind):(
3.waste fusion stones to fuse Wicked Wraith (which can't be fused)
thank you.

You can get free wicked wraith with friends added your codes

For me reading too much useless info about the so call BIG FOUR ! Wasted fusion stone in the early stage trying to get the so call Big Four that no way u can get the big four in the early stage without doing armor combine so u are going to waste at Least 4 stone to get the so call Big Four

*Reading too much Advice KILLS *

Well fusing for the big 4 was ONE of the ways to go about getting it. It just saves the hassle of getting double the materials, though fusion is unreliable. There are other ways of getting the big 4 faster like tournament awards, boss awards and gold keys.

Yes now you can get free big four by wining at least 10 times fighting those ancient dragon -.-

correction, not using your brain to make your own decision is why you fail in epic proportions.

[Musketeer]

1-3) I levelled Monk's Vestments, Steam Wizard Robes and Snakeskin+ all to level 50, thinking they'd useful.

4) I should have joined this Forum, read the excellent advice, and started crafting the Big 4 sooner (but not by wasting Fusion stones).

5) Wasted a handful of Fusion stones early on (encouraged by the quests) thinking I might actually fuse something useful.

6) Crafted all the Epic Boss non+ armors, thinking they'd be useful. Most of them are now lolling around in my wardrobe at levels of 15 or less, never worn in battle, and just waiting to be used as expensive enhancement fodder.

[Ethanie]

I used my Half dragon armour as food for another stupid armour. By accident.


I cried.

[Tatapye]

I opened DPC's lol.

[KTran2013]

I once bought 11 DPC right off the bat when a new boss was up, in hopes of getting the nemesis and I got a bunch of crap. A few minutes (literally, a few minutes) later, the update comes to where you get a guaranteed nemesis+ for buying 11 DPC.

[Bearsuo]

1-3) I levelled Monk's Vestments, Steam Wizard Robes and Snakeskin+ all to level 50, thinking they'd useful.

5) Wasted a handful of Fusion stones early on (encouraged by the quests) thinking I might actually fuse something useful.

I foolishly assumed that the quest would guide me to one good combination, and that I'd experiment to find others.

. . .

Also, I've crafted epic armors just to fuse them into others. I've wasted a brickton of mats inefficiently. And I thought linked element armors (earth/shadow, water/fire) were dumb.

...

[ZERO_07]

1. Not entering a random code to get the Monk Vestments, I know the armor is bad, but It would have helped so much in the early stages.
2. Wasting a significant amount of Gold and some Fusion Stones trying to fuse for Flowstone Battlegear and Lightning Lord in the early stages of the game.
3. Enhancing away my first set of Crius and Hydra Hunter thinking they were bad, then having to collect materials to get craft them again once I learned about the Big Four.
4. Enhancing Armor of Eurus to Level 25 thinking the "Max" stats listed on the banner were going to be the final results, not knowing that those were the + stats.
5. Doing a lot of the Buidling Quests, waste of gold that I could have used to make Training Fields.
6. Spending over 400 gems on DPC, only 1 Legendary to show it for it, which is already an obsolete armor anyway.

[Lii]

My biggest mistake was starting to play this game. Now I can't stop!

[Lieda]

Used my infernal plus maxed out to enhance a silly armor. Accidentally.

[Will_Treaty]

Wasting fusion stones with fusion boosts :(

[Jon2599]

oh i used fusion stone to get the big4 armors too ... i thought it would be good to level it to 15 so i can craft +version straight away.

is this really a mistake?

[ZERO_07]

In terms of saving time and effort in collecting twice the materials it's worth it. But in terms of saving Gold for making Training Fields, it's not worth it, especially since you'll exhaust your resources early game Fusing to get them and won't have much gold to enhance them too.

[MadPhoneBashing]

You want to know my mistake!!???!??! It was installing this game on my phone.....

Haha well okay sigh* maybe not that funny =P

[Lord Ash]

Luckily I've had no major mistakes other than maxing wrong armors early on like lighting lord and flame storm finery... Also I'm totally addicted to this silly game

[soler37]

not reading the forum and knowing about the big four earlier

[topcopper]

My biggest mistake was farming the materials, crafting and leveling my swamp shaman + to 70. So much wasted effort.

At least the farming was good for a few levels...

[Revelate]

Unsure about that: it's far cheaper to level a pair of basic/monos to 30, there's fusion stones to spare, and the fusions to the non-plus versions are pretty reliable.

The armors at 30 fantastically increased my levelling and also farm rate (snakeskin); only gotcha I found was I had to toss a stupid enhance at it to get the game to recognize that I already had the normal version above 15.

I guess with me between levelling and enhancing other armors, I didn't get my LF+ going till around level 60; and until then the normal LF at 30 was a saving grace especially getting through Faerie Forest as I didn't have Hydra levelled at that time.

Think if I had to do it all again I'd immediately raise the requisite 8 basic/monos to 30, then fuse to normal versions of the Big 4. Maybe once I reach end-game and don't have as much in game to spend time on, I may try a few starter strategies just to see, but from my own experience, I think this'll provide faster progression through the game than not... though 10ish gimp runs a day with higher level friends likely could've accomplished the same thing, but I prefer chasing the epic boss anyway.

My own biggest mistake: unquestionably not finding this forum earlier... that was the reason for all of my other mistakes in game :). Spending an earth fusion boost on a Flowstone normal; levelling any of the hack 2 star armor pieces I got, not figuring out the power of Snakeskin and paying way too much for what levelling I did do, meh, point made: I am a recovering idiot.

[Musketeer]

...there's fusion stones to spare...

Not once you get a bit further in the game and need to level legendary armors to max as quickly and cheaply as possible.

[Majingear]

My biggest mistake was farming the materials, crafting and leveling my swamp shaman + to 70. So much wasted effort.

why ist it not worth it??? im maxing it atm?!

[Revelate]

Not once you get a bit further in the game and need to level legendary armors to max as quickly and cheaply as possible.

Agreed, but there's a non-trivial amount of time grinding dungeon bosses before worrying about legendary armors. I'm levelling my first 3 star at 69, and it's a transitional/secondary SS+ when talking end-game.

It's a month to level to 100 or so if playing well and consistently; it's a while beyond that to hit epic 43 where maximizing legendaries is mandatory and fusion stones are all but required to do so time-effectively. 4 additional fusion stones isn't going to make or break anything, I earn more than that a day simply leveling so I tend to think that cost is somewhat trivial in the long run, as compared to making 1-50 or higher (facilitates transition into the plus versions of Big 4 too) simple and easy.

[topcopper]

why ist it not worth it??? im maxing it atm?!

I didn't realize at the time that 3 and 4 star armors cost the same to level. I would rather have invested in a boss armor. The armor may be worth it to some. I just regret the waste.

Stars don't mean a thing. Max stats do.

[Lotak]

I never made any catastrophic errors, but I have made 2 of note:

1) Levelling Monk Vestments to level 10 or so thinking it was good.
2) Accidentally using my AA+ lvl 20-30 armour as a fusion armour. Oh well.

Another is wasting a handful of fusion stones on really dumb fusions for no real purpose.

I think I'm doing ok with respect to efficiency now though.

[Epon]

1. Leveling a normal AA up to level 45.

2. Maxing spectral captain plus

3. crafting some normal boss armor before I was able to defeat the boss enough times to craft a plus version

4. wasting gems on level 3 guard tower, tavern and monster nest before realizing the power of the training field.

5. I had crafted a normal Mantle of the beast, but hadn't yet leveled it to 35 (I had ignored it while doing Jian). One day, I saw that I had 100/50 of MoB parts and forgetting that with my first level 60 boss defeat, I'd have enough mats to make a third armor set, and forgetting that I had already crafted a normal MoB that I just hadn't leveled, I pushed the craft button to make another normal MoB armor set. I quickly went to level the normal MoB armor I already had, thinking maybe if I leveled it to 35 before the second armor set finished crafting, it would automatically turn into a plus version. Nope. Fortunately though, I did have enough mats to craft the third set, which now was a plus version.

6. Telling my daughter to try fusing the armor fusion boosts together to try for SG, which she did getting wind monarch.

[quantumace]

why ist it not worth it??? im maxing it atm?!

The more recent boss armors are better than the Swamp Shaman, but it is still useful. If you are able to craft the + version of any of the recent boss armors, that would be a better choice. If you havent gotten that far, Swamp Shaman is pretty nice. It was my first maxed lvl 70 armor, and it has helped me get Jian +, which has been pretty solid. I still use it frequently, based on matchups.

[Matti1992]

Being tricked by the name of the Fusion Boost armors and trying to fuse one hoping to get a decent armor.

[FlipDaddy]

Not setting up expansions and training fields earlier
Wasting money and EPs crafting and enhancing weak armors
Wasting gems on DPCs, although they're decent for EPs if you don't mind spending the money



ETA: Getting rid of Twin Jian at level 20 because it wasn't a +. I wish I had at least taken it to level 35 so I could have gotten the materials for the + when they had the summoning sale.

[drhawk]

Spending gems in the Arena :o:o:o I found out quickly how valuable gems were, but wasting 4 gems on useless craps just bugged me to this day.

[Usul]

Luckily I found these forums pretty early on. I was able to get money flowing and the big four+ maxed out relatively quickly.

One of my biggest mistakes was trying to get top 250 in the arena before I really should have. I ended up at position 265 and I spent lots and lots of time (but no gems) attempting to get those extra 5 gems. Definitely not worth the effort, and now I see I was going up again players 15-40 levels above me!! LOL.

Another little mistake is getting impatient during fights and missing a special attack when it was needed. Especially in the arena where it sometimes cost me the match. If you're in a tough battle take it slow! No need to rush things and regretting it later.

[Roark]

discovered the forums early on so I have made very few mistakes that I regret

once or twice recently (it's been a busy week) I got distracted and left my phone alone for more than 1.5 hours after 5 knights hadn't yet killed a boss, waste of my 2 strongest friends that day

[CASKA]

wasting gem on arena at beginning to preserve doubledown

[drygores]

Wasting my first 60 gems on opening chests. Got 3 2 star, useless items.

Glad I found this website at level 20. Didn't have much time to do anything to stupid.

[DG Magneto]

Same, opened about 2 DCP and got junk.
Also let the 4 year old do battles for me. Then the 2 year old walks up and spends gems to heal life...

[soler37]

I understand that getting the plus version of an epic boss is done by beating it 43 times, meaning I have to kill it 28 more times after getting the non plus? whats so special about level 43, I see that getting money and five keys is the reward.. does gree expect everyone to know this or am I missing something?

[SoloStar]

It's just how they did it. You get materials a long the way. I don't understand why they didn't list the materials as prizes post-15 either.

[ifritx]

Gem wasting… definitely gem wasting… Hit a lucky streak with videos early on, had over 300 gems at one point. Thought that was normal, and so spent gems frivolously on Epic Energy and Dark Prince Chests. Now I'm lucky if I get one video offer a day…

[nonetobeknow]

gem wasting on my first 2 day on playing this game T.T

[Marco_]

It's just how they did it. You get materials a long the way. I don't understand why they didn't list the materials as prizes post-15 either.
Simple. Those aren't victory rewards, but boss drops.
None of the boss drops are listed on the victory rewards.
Only 34 of the 50 epic boss materials you'll have by level 15 are listed on the victory rewards.
(side result: if you glitch your way past all of level 1-60, you don't even have enough materials to craft a non-plus armor, since glitching only gives victory rewards, not boss drops...)

[Woggy]

Paid money for gems to open up stupid chests full of garbage

[King Mark]

Err....Leaving my current guild for Guild Wars, while still deciding which guild to join. Now I'm Guildless & I've lost all elemental bonus, hahaha! I forgot about it so I'm screwed until I move to a new guild. Oh well.....

*Currently, a Guildless/Homeless King* Lol!

[JRod4928]

i used 90 gems to craft phyrus armor. may or may not be a mistake...we'll see.

i figured 90 gems to guarantee good armor is better than 3 30gem chance chests or 4 20 gem chance chests and probably end up with crap.

[Nicco]

It's been said before but I'll say it again, The DPC.

[Stooboot]

3. crafting some normal boss armor before I was able to defeat the boss enough times to craft a plus version

At what level can u craft the + boss armor

[deathexe]

At what level can u craft the + boss armor

Need to kill the level 43 boss and have the normal version of the boss armor at level 35.

If you're asking what level you should be to reach that far, it depends in how well developed your armors are. Having the big 4 and around 1 to 2 70+ armors should more or less be enough if you have good friends.

Also, you may want to ask questions at the question thread instead :)

[gardibolt]

When I crafted my Swamp Shaman plus I figured I would hold on to the normal set to boost the plus at high levels. Unfortunately, when I got the + version up to around lvl 20, I accidentally started enhancing the nonplus version. An entire day of snakeskin farming down the drain. I wanted to cry. So I enhanced the + with the nonplus right away so I couldn't do that again, and have followed the same pattern ever since. It is not maximum efficiency but neither is blowing a couple dozen snakeskin for 4 EP.

[Blazblu]

Selling my first training field on the second day of playing by mistake.

Yeah, it's very annoying that plus and non-plus seem to switch location at the Fusion Master from time to time. :(
Only way to prevent that: wear it, but you don't really want to wear a level 20 armor at that point...

Can potentially equip it in your summoning stone tab which rarely gets used compared to Main / Epic / Arena.

Personally I wind up using them as fusing mats as well, *maybe* if I get a useful plus and non-plus (either arena combo, or epic boss second, or future funsies, like the 3xBlackfrost guy in the arena, though he did wipe me anyway) I'd keep it; however, in general think it's a better use of resources to simply enhance the mainline plus version, or some other armor you intend to enhance all the way to max, with it when it makes sense.

[Eunuchorn]

1. Downloading

2. Downloading 2 weeks before CC gave away a free sword for trying K&D

[XBDMRRFPN]

the biggest mistake was starting this game

then other things like using accidentally gems to restore the fights (5 gems wasted a couple of times) just because I was nervous for the loss and the game lag (that is very annoying sometimes) tapping everywhere...
I think I wasted a lot of gems, I would say at least 25-30 overall
3 used to upgrade a fountain, just to see the outcome
other times I kept the DD, that is another mistake, wasting gems

another one to test the speed up crafting and so on...

others mistake apart of this was to not craft the big4 +
I spend time after monks and rageborne (this one I still use so far)

[Lunasea]

Accidently fusing my Eurus+ (level 48+) to my regular Jian in a half sleeping mode ; Have to bought gems and spent 700+ gems just to get back the Eurus+ via Summoning stone to qualify for the BK+ >.<

[Bearsuo]

At what level can u craft the + boss armor

The level that ruins the game with guild wars, guy who isn't talking out of his hat.

[Angry dad]

Using gems to buy a fourth and fifth armor smith. Now i have plenty of armor with no gold to enhance it.

this reminded me of some frustrating mistakes I had made, I was leveling basics to 19 for enhancing, the problem was that they looked the same as the other armors, just like your situation

at least twice if not 3 times I used the 19s to enhance a 6 or whatever, let's just say I don't use that technique despite its merits

so true mate...

[poloz]

leveled monks and steam wizards past 40 :(

[AutoGun]

- Leveled Steam Wizards to 40+ before realizing how bad it truly was
- Not realizing the big 4 until reading this forum
- Upgrading non + armor way past where you were able to craft the + version of it.....
- wasting gems early on

Yes fun times!

[Angel of Death]

Wasted my time on playing the game, I have reached lvl 155. And during that time, it Was so easy to reach the top 10 in the arena and epic boss. I almost had the black medal, been in rank 1 until the last 45 minutes of that event, ended up rank 4... :( Right now I am lvl 151 with stronger armors but I can't even reach the top 100 in the arena. So many people are spending gems I think.

[XBDMRRFPN]

I am much weaker than you and I reach easily the top 100 every week (currently I am ranking 48 in IOS).
I just make tens of battles with friends every day, accept 50 new friends per day battle and delete, battle and delete...
every day I gain more than 600 points in this way...
it's boring but I don't spend real money...
never did

about mistakes today I have made a few so I will not get level 35 with this boss, like tapping the X while starting a battle against the boss with 2 friends, just to check other things, like we do in the other kind of battle (before we start we can tap and come back later). In this case I lost the 2 friends and therefore the battle :(.

I am not upset because I wouldn't have get it anyway...
I tried later in several ways and couldn't make it so I would have reach in the best case level 34 not 35

I wonder do you have to follow your aunt all the time. Or do your aunt don't use her iphone much?

[Gittt]

Was playing this morning when I was half asleep. Got enough materials to to craft an swamp shamen+. Ended up crafting it and later realizing that my swamp shamen was only at level 19 and not 20. Now I have to farm roots again to make a SS+ :mad:

[dengel]

Enhancing my SS+ with my HH+ lvl 50 as fodder... stupid fat fingers

[Zonkman1993]

Trying for boss+ armors at lvl 37.
Spending real money on gems and blowing them on chests.
Building all lvl 3 TF before finishing the Building Quest - had to destroy 3 of them in order to finish the 3 cathedral and 3 tavern quest...
Getting caught up in forum drama (sorry about that one).

[anuarreyes]

Fusing legendary armors and getting bad bad thins I swear to god i gor to stop this

[Marco_]

Buying a 4th smith just before Guilds were added to Android and gold became much more important. I could have spent those 20 gems on leveling 2 smiths to level 3 instead of on a smith that will now be demolished for a TF2...

[SmokeSR]

I did this too :(

My worsts failures were being non-attentive to fights and accidentally hitting the button to use gems to revive/restart the stage. This was really painful when it happened twice in a night doing epic bosses above lvl 15. Now I have no gems.

[Belimah]

I spent real money on Flame Chests. Complete waste.
Also, trying to maintain guild communications via in-game chat. Useless and expensive chaos.

[NickkyDC]

to date Im going to say using my phyrus armor in attempts to make the fire epic armor and getting ruby platemail instead. which then mixed with storm sorcerer got my rageborn raiments -.-

[Xslayer]

Wasting 30 gems I got free on a chest... when I should have saved it for upgrading TFs or Armory D:

[QuantumP 86]

Tried to get a Vanguard +. Now I will probably never craft another armor again lol.

[D3athShade]

Fused Phyrus and notus and got ruby plate mail >< fcking bullsh!t

[SoloStar]

Ruby will give you a better chance next fusion for Blazeborne as it is mono Fire. It's not a total loss.

[D3athShade]

Ruby will give you a better chance next fusion for Blazeborne as it is mono Fire. It's not a total loss.

So what do i fuse it with? only got boreas left...

[SoloStar]

You can fuse it with Boreas. If you don't get Blazeborne, the other 4 star possibilities are Combustion, Boiler, and Flamehunter.

Pretty much if you get a 4 star or above fusion, you have a 25% to get Blazeborne.

Edit: I forgot about Cloud King's Finery, so make that 20%.
