[Tips & Tricks] How To, Questions & More

I keep getting mystic cloth scraps from the phoenix. Is the valor stage till epic a guaranteed feather drop? If not then gree is a liar, 100% rare drop rate if you kill the boss with a special attack my a**.

Just wait till you get to Swamp Kraken. Roots drops were probably below 25% for me...
And Dark Prince is now trolling me with loads of Phoenix Feathers instead of Evil Gems.



A question: at Kingdom of Darkness Epic stage do you "special attack kill" anything besides Dark Prince's final form? I kind of just first-hit Kraken, Roc and Cerberus with them to soften them up, since I don't have any need for their materials...

You can always get the mats to try to craft the armor and hope for a lucky fuse.

This is what I do. If you try to save up your special attack for a last hit, you might potentially take 1 more hit from the boss.

If you meant fuse for Dark Prince, IIRC that was reported as unfusable in the fusion topic.
If you meant crafting and fusing other 3-star storyline armors, that's a decent idea.
I maxed Swamp+ without using any fusion stones (using tournament winnings for the last few levels) and Infernal+ is also looking to not need many fusion stones and Dark Prince+ is still about 28 Evil Gems away, so I might just try farming and crafting some more storyline 3-star armors and spend some of my 109 fusion stones on fusing those together...
(Wait, I just remembered I skipped Roc+... I guess that's one more thing to work on as long as Dark Prince keeps being stingy.)

Hi all! Would just like to check if there is indeed a cap on the stats of the friends I use for the weekly boss fights? I noticed the same stats for many of my friends with different armour, which doesnt really make any sense? I'm on an android device, is that the cause, seeing that android users are pretty much handicapped in this game..?

Yes there's a cap. The cap is based on the stats of your main knight.

A few pages back someone reported that the cap seems to be influenced by your Commander's stats while armored.
So wearing your best armor on your Commander raises the cap higher.

But capping is logical: you don't want to let a level 1 player be able to clear epic boss to level 21+ just because he has 10 strong level 100+ friends or get all the way to Kingdom of Darkness while still below level 25 just because he has 10 strong level 100+ friends...

Loophole: a level 1 player who DPC-ed his way to a maxed Moontide+/Aegis+/etc. would have high stats and therefor high stat friends.

Not sure about that, and can easily test naked vs. wearing Monk's Vestments (assuming said L1 can be bothered to input the friend code). Unleveled armor only varies by a few hundred tops, that likely won't make or break the algorithm unless it's terribly sloppy... and it's a long way to maxing a high level armor for an L1. Of course where the breakpoints are may make sense to craft and level a mono armor to 30 (future enhancement material if nothing else to a big 4 norm version if chosen well) and be time to party!

Something else to check when I use one of my other devices for an even more scrubby scrub testing some various low level strategies for giggles and future reference.

This is what I do. If you try to save up your special attack for a last hit, you might potentially take 1 more hit from the boss.

Only after the first kill (well maybe second if you have main knight vs. sidekick) given how damage doesn't vary much at all from swing to swing (misses / crits due to the RNG notwithstanding).

Personally I think having more mats is never a bad thing, though given that my only fusion test of 3 star armors gave me a whopping Brawler's Armor, I'd need to be at a point where time (crafting opportunity cost) and gold just didn't matter before trying that route again.

In general other than a few select 3 star non-plus armors as filler slots (vis a vis I'd love to have a leveled WW normal right now on Snotty) one would need to get awfully lucky to get anything worthwhile... and given how perspective changes as time goes on, think I have better use for the fusion stones for at least the next few months than expensive fusion lottery testing.

Longer term, or even at the point of farming KoD, likely better off fusing boss normal armors anyway that are picked up along the way, leveled to 35, and discarded in favor of the plus version. Higher quality armor leading to better possible results, and whatever you get is already leveled to 35 (assuming paired with another lvl 35 non-plus). Shorter walk to make it useful if you decide to keep it.

No one does, it'll be ready when it's ready I guess.

What do you guys suggest to use for combining to get swamp shaman, that way I don't have to collect an awful lot of mats.

Don't bother trying to fuse for it. All you're going to get are snakeskins. It doesn't take that long to collect roots

I agree with Cube. I tried a few fusions to try to get regular SS to get a "head start" for the plus version. But I couldn't bear blowing away more gold so I stopped and focused on mining.

This is purely speculation, but it seemed that I had a better drop rate for the wriggling roots when I had at least one quest active to collect roots. I got all but six mats for both SS and SS+ this way. The last six mats took a lot longer to get! My suggestion is keep the wriggling root/craft SS quests OPEN until you get ALL mats necessary for SS and then SS+.
