Battle in Brave New World for rare rewards!
From now until December 10th at 4 PM PT, complete event Challenges in Brave New World to earn Skill Shards, Cosmic Evolution materials, Snowflake Fragments and Impulse Talismans.
Impulse Talismans are green talismans with a 6-set effect. Equip these Talismans to gain the Impulse Passive, This passive allows all allies to deal +25% more damage to all enemies. It will also heal for 15% of your Max HP whenever the talisman wearer takes physical or magic damage. Finally, this passive will remove All Golden Effects and All Shields from enemies, stun all enemies for 2 turns and heal all allies for 100% of your MAX HP when the talisman wearer’s health reaches 1 HP.
BONUS: Each battle in the Brave New World dungeons has a chance of dropping Snowflake Fragments. The higher the floor, the more likely you are to receive larger drops!
Snowflake Fragments are the event currency of our overarching Arctic Avalanche event that is running through the holiday season.
Save your Snowflake Fragments to spend in the Event Store on rare rewards including Frontier Coins, Catalyst Souls, Awakening Souls, an exclusive new character and MORE. These shop items will be added into the game on DECEMBER 10TH, so start collecting your fragments now.
You can learn more about the Arctic Avalanche and Snowflake Fragments in our Arctic Avalanche event post here! (https://forum.ironmaidenlegacy.com/showthread.php?12766-Arctic-Avalanche-Info-and-Discussion)
Looking for another set of Impulse Talismans?
Impulse Talismans are obtainable from the store for Ironite or IAP. You can get two talismans to finish making a set for Ironite (i.e. the 500 Ironite pack will grant you 2x Impulse Talismans), and if you’d like to get a full set of the talisman with some bonus Ironite, Gold and Sands of War, there is a one-time only offer as an IAP.

Cool overlapping grinding events that can be done together. Let's all remember that time when we were promised the events would be more sensible and less during the Dev Q&A. What fools we were.

The BNW seems straight forward enough. Should be able to set talismans to complete many at once. Gotta finish grinding BHE accessories first.

So...has it ever been mentioned why exactly Garden of Life almost NEVER drops 1* yellow evo runes? On the 3rd level, the green ones appear nearly every run but I've only seen yellows like once during 10 runs. It's a huge pain to constantly not be able to evolve 3* yellow talismans cause of the lack of a material that should be available in plentiful amounts.
Those pesky things aside, the event looks simple enough for both older and newer players. Just wish it appeared during less busy times.

This ^^^^^^^^^
Just over halfway through the cyborg grind, giving it up as a bad job. Simply do not have the resources. Though the 23 cyborgs mean I'll be pretty covered for the Sac event
Correct me if I'm wrong but if, like me, you decided you didnt need some of those piece of crap talismans anymore; they are all available in BNW floors?
I've been starting to collect duplicate Eddies ONLY to store talismans on (because they keep adding 6 sets without giving slots to accommodate them) for fear of events like these where little needed or used talismans (Resilience, Advantage, etc) are required but otherwise never used. This is like an event requiring you use a Sandworm... In many instances half the event is trying to get that low-end thing you've thrown away or sold 50,000 times. Thankfully I had all these talismans stored and I've completed the event in only a few hours... but then I'm left wondering.. Wha'd I get????? a 6 set of talismans that I already have 3 of... granted it's a decent 6-set but.. well.. yeah.. And now I have all these snow frags that, honestly I don't need snowmen.. I'm kind of surprised there's nothing else to do with the frag or at the very least not some new character for the frags.

I'm guessing this will be similar to other mega events where you're better off saving frags and using them for the big ticket items (new characters, OP Talismans, etc) that aren't added in the store just yet.

Yes, YES. You're absolutely right, Spent around 100 sot all around the lower levels of Gol and got just enough to evolve a 3* lantern talisman. They really need to increase the drop rates
I need Lightning... problem is, LOTB Gamer and the Compendium both say it drops from Garden of Dismay... now I've done a lot of GoD and not seen a single one drop... is there another source?
Lightning will only drop from Level X and the drop rates are fairly low.

There's only one assassin talisman achievement.
Be certain you are using the right talismans.. they counted just fine for me. Although I did mistakenly run a coupe with the wrong set at first.
Resistance is what you need

I ended up with around 2200 snowflake frags after completing all achievements... and I ran everyone in GOL level 4... because I need 1 and 2 star yellow evo runes... Guess we'll see what that's worth next week.... Very underwhelmed with the recycled snowmen and the dark elf from last year.....
Thank heaven I still had a set of Quake.. I thought I had dumped all those but nope.. still on a Pumpkin.... it worked :) Actually hit harder in GOL 4 than I expected.

I also need to finish the Cyborg Dungeon first. Until then the not counting challenges should be fixed. Good that we only need 100 BNW runs in total! And in general I think it's cool to have a BNW event finally, haven't been there for a long time.
The Talli challenges are a bit annoying, as I never used Rage, Lightning, Quake or Zone so far. Will need to sarch my 490 characters to find them as I am pretty sure I kept at least one set of each for an event like that. I also remember that I had 1 character with resistance tallis, gonna find him or her! On the contrary, I used thorn and cyclone a lot so no problem with those.
Good luck everyone!

That's completely right! And congrats on these two! I also got Samurai Emperor recently and I am happy with it, as he is ultra hard to get!
Maybe I did a wrong comparison, as van Helsings passive is by far the craziest one in the game, not to be compared with the ones from Stranger or Emperor. It is a typical approach that we can get characters again, usually then when they are not "that" good anymore, as more overpowered stuff was released in the meanwhile.
If you read my threads over the last months, you did see that I am really not a fan of all these fancy skills, but that's how the game evolves. The update post gives a good indication that we see the next cycle. After a lot of tallis that reduce damage (completely or to a certain %), we will see tallis now, that increase damage (and/or stats) again. It's a bit stupid if you ask me, but what shall you do, if they stick to the very high frequency of releasing stuff? You simply can't do meaningful changes of the meta within these short periods of time and that's why things go back and forth.

Both the challenges using purple talismans are working, just have to be real careful you're using the right ones. Resistance and Immortal.
Good job using pictures Yup, both of those talismans sets have similar names!

Tried levels IV and X and both dropped 5 frags. Maybe there's a chance for a bigger drop but I have yet to see it.

12-04-2019, 03:10 PM
I wonder if they lowered the number of run times for the achievements of this event because of the ongoing Cyborg dungeon one? Doesn't seem to require a lot of runs to get a full set of the new talismans. Anyway, back to the Cyborg dungeon to finish up getting enough frags for the T3. Then I'll worry about getting more snowflake frags.

I've done over 30 runs of floor X and not a single one has dropped. Is that drop rate normal? I get plenty of comets and endurance, but no lightning. Since I also need to keep grinding the cyborg dungeon, there's no way I can do hundreds of runs of GoD to get four lightning talismans.
I know I had lightning talismans once, but I've scrolled through every character and I don't have a single one anywhere. Maybe I had them stored on a character, sacrificed the character, then sold them thinking they were duplicates. Oh well. Guess the only way to finish the set will be forking out the 500 ironite for the final two in the store.
Stranger
12-04-2019, 05:22 PM
The drop rate is pretty low. I miss one lightning and a rage as well and now I have a dilemma whether to spend SoT and ironites to grind X floor BNW with hope they'll drop or buy them for 500 ironites :confused:
Horus-2545
12-04-2019, 05:42 PM
Fortunately I had lightning. But because of the 500 cap I had sold all but 2 of my Rage. I was able to get the 2 others with about 40 runs on Red Brave New World. I think this is a very easy challenge to do, but if you don't have certain talisman and can't get them, that's a bummer. I do think that we all have the option of sitting out on a challenge/event. I know it can be hard for the obsessive types (like myself), but there are so many things going on, that it is probably wiser to pick and choose. For example, I spent so much leveling up of Wicker characters, but now I wish I had invested more in a Blue LOL. Another choice is do I spend time in the LOL XV dungeon or do I try to get the new Eternal Frontier characters?
Plenty of times in the past I have been burned by impulsive actions, lack of patience, not planning properly. I remember once when I spent myself down completely on FC, etc. only to have the spending event begin right after. Oh well... I learned to now always try to have some reserve and not spend down to zero.
Gold seems to be the biggest limiting commodity for me. Do I spend money leveling up talisman, cosmic talisman or awakening characters. You have to pick and choose unless you are one of the uber players with 300 million gold.
I've done over 30 runs of floor X and not a single one has dropped. Is that drop rate normal?
Yes. Drop rates are low for Lightning, Rage, Meteor, Comet, Zone, and Quake
I've literally never used one of the "grants a skill" talismans, but luckily I'm a hoarder, and saved a set of each one-- Except for two missing Rage. Also need Cyclone and Resistance (thanks Yup for pointing out the name mix-up), which both drop on purple/blue Level VIII.
I like this event. I needed to grind BNW for resources anyway, I'm leveling up toons, and the SoT cost is low. Plus, whatever the bonus rewards are.
...
also-- Max Cyborg Eddie is a killer farming toon :p

Yes. Drop rates are low for Lightning, Rage, Meteor, Comet, Zone, and Quake
I get that. Something seems wrong though. I just did another SoT refill, three comets, no lightning. Is Lightning supposed to be ten times rarer than the others?
Edit: lots of people have to be grinding GoD level X for this event. Have the rest of you received any new lightning talismans during this event? Do I just have bad luck?
It's all "RNG" and chance.... Drop rates are low and there are 2 talismans that can drop.... so it's random as to which one drops when they drop.It took me forever to get those sets... I actually think they may have improved drops rates since then. If you saw 3 drop in one refill.. they are absolutely dropping more now than they did 6 month or a year ago. It used to be that it took 50+ runs to see ONE.
If I remember right, one of them drops at level 9 and 10.. then the other only at level 10... check the rewards tab.. if the one you need drops at 9 and 10.. run 9 to avoid the other one.
I assume these were OP Talismans when they came out, and about as hard to get as Awakening materials are, now.
Yeah they were coveted at the time and for the end gamers more. Hard to get and rarely seen.... now, they aren't very powerful at all. Although.. Zone's absolutely help in the Airstrip Dungeon. They are the only way Soldier Ed does any real damage/killing blow to the General. I use them on the Gunner Escaped Prisoner too.
But this all plays into the talisman issues.. these are 4 sets, somewhat difficult to get, and lord knows when they will be needed for achievements. So it's not unheard of to dump these mediocre 4 sets to make room for a 5 or 6 set.. but then you're screwed when these events appear. Like I posted earlier I was just lucky I had a set of Quake on a damn pumpkin :)
Lord knows why I kept all these BNW tali sets. I guess because they were hard to get? I've had them stashed on weak Eddies so they don't clutter up my menu. Just need 1 Cyclone and 1 Rage now. Starting to look at class-specific runs.

The original dragon king was much harder before he got nerfed and the drop rate was horrible. It is dramatically better now.
I have a fleet of characters whose sole purpose is holding a set of each talisman type. It has worked well for me with these events, but it makes talisman management a nightmare and my character inventory is always stupid high.
My biggest hope for this game is that someday they actually implement something to make storing, finding, and swapping talismans easier. I counted earlier. It takes over 40 "swipes" to get to the purple talismans in my talisman screen for each character. Just being able to change the first color listed would be a dramatic improvement.
Just being able to change the first color listed would be a dramatic improvement. There is one way to do that-- if you have a SLOT that color, click on it. In the inventory management, instead of stars up/down click NO stars. Then it will start at that color. But only IF you have a slot to select from.
Tim28213
12-04-2019, 07:52 PM
I know that trick and use it a lot. My issue is when I want to put 3 purple or 3 yellow in the generic colorless slots at the top. So much swiping... >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>ah, here we go. The purple I was looking for.
I have learned that if I make it all the way to purple and find the talisman set I want is not there (on another character already), put any purple talisman in the spot. After I finally track down the missing set when I go back I click the placeholder purple talisman and I go straight to purple. Big swipe saver.
It's a pain, for sure. Cosmic characters/no slot restrictions also break the method.
After I finally track down the missing set when I go back I click the placeholder purple talisman and I go straight to purple. Big swipe saver.
NICE :) --I'm using this
Okay, some interesting observations that might help people.
I have just completed 15 battles in brave new world. I have completed the Rage talisman mission, which required 30 wins. I was using 2 characters that had a Rage set.
I also completed the Ascension talisman mission after just 8 battles, I had only one character with Ascension talismans, and one character with a Cosmic talisman that gave the same Ascension effect.
So, it counts each set of talismans, and cosmic talismans with the same effects. So you can do some of the 30 win missions in fewer than 30 runs.

12-04-2019, 08:25 PM
Not going to say how many runs I spent trying to get Zone talismans....... before noticing I had a full set on an Eddie I've never used...
Still need two more Rage talismans though. Will hopefully get them in less than 500 ironite worth of SoT refills :P
My primary issue is WHERE is THAT talisman.. which character did I put it on??? You HAVE to tap each and every character until you find it.. and often the app will crash at some point.

Lightning Talismans are dropping - I got the 3 that I needed last night running Garden of Dismay IX. Yes, it was mostly the other ones (I ended up with a another full set of Comets and Immortals along the way), but they eventually dropped and I just completed the 30 runs needed for the event.
The ironite spent on SoT refills was far less than the 500 I would have needed to purchase the last Impulse Talisman from the store -plus all the materials dropped along the way- so it was well worth the effort.
Good luck...

Cool overlapping grinding events that can be done together. Let's all remember that time when we were promised the events would be more sensible and less during the Dev Q&A. What fools we were.
So I would like to make a slight retraction. This event isn't quite as grind-y as I first thought. Tonight I sucked it up and did 45 runs with the talismans and for the next three nights I'll be doing the class specific runs 1 a night.
This will net me all of the challenges before it's over. I will be at a disadvantage for sure when I need to cash in those frags later on in the mega event. And I'll definitely lose some precious cyborg grinding time since even level 1 has a bunch of loading time. Plus I lost a lot of time hunting down the talismans all of which I knew I had because I hate running extra levels just so I can do part of an event. I have at least one set of every talisman that has been available outside of gold/silver/bronze souls and purchasing.
Talisman management is still one of the worst aspects of this game and I can't wait for an update that makes it not a royal pain in the tuchus.
Seems that when additional Snow frags do drop...... they aren't in any higher quantity in X than they are in IV... 5 frags for a random drop.. regardless of BNW level.

Nice and easy to do this one. Nice and quick to do - ride a long's and cosmic's work so defo use them if you can. I ran mine on Level 3 in each dungeon but I did do a maybe 5 runs in level 10 of each as I wanted to test some teams and drops for frags. I got 2,750 snow frags 80% of which was level 3 so they seem to drop pretty decent for less sands at the lower levels. I did not need any talisman as I have multiple sets of each so ride along and cosmics really helped to make it quick.
I have those xmas characters already so will keep my frags for what they have for sale in the store when that comes round. Shame they had not included the Krampus characters though! That in itself is weird so I hope they have them for sale in another event as still missing the assassin dude.

Keep in mind to all who commented about the grinding overlap... They extended the Cyborg event 5 days. The same 5 days that these 2 events are now overlapping. I believe they originally would have overlapped by only a day or 2 max. Still sucks that you guys have to choose which event to grind out, but (assuming stable servers were a thing) we should have all been done with the Cyborg by now and fully focused on BNW. If they were to then push the BNW event a few days, it would run into another event....etc. I dont like their event scheduling any more than most of you, but I also empathize with the devs having to form an event schedule a month or 2 in advance and try to maintain that schedule while still adapting to all of our whiny crying asses. Just to keep things in perspective.
FYI.. cosmic augments count... I used a cosmic with the Immortal augment and it worked.
Ironically, that is the first thing i thought of when i saw the requirements. I tried using a few cosmic Immortals and they did NOT count for me. Swapped out for some guys with actual immortal sets and counted those fine. I assumed that all cosmics didnt work, so I just used the full sets. Oh well...

I have those xmas characters already so will keep my frags for what they have for sale in the store when that comes round. Shame they had not included the Krampus characters though! That in itself is weird so I hope they have them for sale in another event as still missing the assassin dude.
ASSASSIN KRAMPUS is one of like 8 toons i still need to complete the collection, so it BETTER be available lol!
Seems that when additional Snow frags do drop...... they aren't in any higher quantity in X than they are in IV... 5 frags for a random drop.. regardless of BNW level.
I've had 10 drop occasionally too. Mostly in the higher levels, but haven't been paying much attention sorry
I was just doing the floor 1 brave new world, for speed purposes, and was still getting 5 or 10 snowflake fragments.
...... and I'm running level X.. and getting 5 or 10 frags. So level makes no difference.

How many snow frags do you think we should earn for future purchases?
100,000K if the cyborg event was any indicator. I'm at roughly 2.5k... so I've got a way's to go :)

Just going for BHE was no more expensive or time consuming than the ferryman event. The kicker was going for the talisman and evo shards. The net ironite for BHE, 3* taliman and evo shards was 1700. I didnt pay attention to the other rewards.
If they didnt up the frag drops it would have been another 1000 ironite.
100, 000, 000.frags does seem kind of steep for any toon or even multiple toons.
For mid-level players like me, event frags/toons that = sac essence are still nice.

It's all "RNG" and chance.... Drop rates are low and there are 2 talismans that can drop.... so it's random as to which one drops when they drop.It took me forever to get those sets... I actually think they may have improved drops rates since then. If you saw 3 drop in one refill.. they are absolutely dropping more now than they did 6 month or a year ago. It used to be that it took 50+ runs to see ONE.
If I remember right, one of them drops at level 9 and 10.. then the other only at level 10... check the rewards tab.. if the one you need drops at 9 and 10.. run 9 to avoid the other one.
Lightning Talismans are dropping - I got the 3 that I needed last night running Garden of Dismay IX. Yes, it was mostly the other ones (I ended up with a another full set of Comets and Immortals along the way), but they eventually dropped and I just completed the 30 runs needed for the event.
The ironite spent on SoT refills was far less than the 500 I would have needed to purchase the last Impulse Talisman from the store -plus all the materials dropped along the way- so it was well worth the effort.
Good luck...
All right, thanks y'all for the responses. I'll give it another try once I'm through racking up Cyborg frags. Only about 10000 more to go.
These Impulse talismans seem kinda meh to me... Anyone tried them already? Are there any characters that might benefit from them? I'm wondering if I should grind this or just skip it...
Magus Werewolf can wear them. I'm using him in my auto teams now. +25% Damage seems to speed things up, along with his "return 5x True damage when taking damage" passive.
