Crush the Lord of Light for Soul Fragments to earn a guaranteed 4⭐ character!

From now until February 13th, 4 PM PT, each battle in the Lord of Light dungeons has a chance of dropping Cursed Pharaoh Dog Soul Fragments. Collect 200 and you can redeem them in the Book of Souls’ Fragments screen for your very own 4⭐Assassin Cursed Pharaoh Dog!

The Cursed Pharaoh Dog joins the cast as a new 4⭐Assassin in Legacy of the Beast. The Cursed Pharaoh Dog specializes in healing your team and amping up their battle potential. This ally passively increases your allies healing capabilities by 100% and grants Charge and Golden Perfect Hit to any ally suffering from Blind or Taunt.

Rise up to fight again! The Cursed Pharaoh Dog’s power ability, Deliverance, will revive all fallen allies and give them Perfect Heal Shield and Golden Trap!

Normally, when the fragments drop, you’ll earn 5 or 10 fragments, but if you’re lucky, you could earn 50 fragments from one battle, so don’t be afraid of that 200 requirement! Players who battle in Lord of Light Floors 11-15 will also be able to earn greater amounts of Cursed Pharaoh Dog Fragments (10, 20 or 50) at an increased drop rate! Additionally, you can earn as many Assassin Cursed Pharaoh Dog Souls as you can collect the fragments for, so feel free to grab some extras for your next big Sacrifice!

Stares in horror at the cost.


Always happy to get another dog though! Here are the event challenges, which I think moves us up to a maximum of 12,000 Explosive Fragments, not including any from Airstrip.

7756

[druid138]

My general rule of thumb for these events is that 22 SoT refills will give one Lilith and 6.25 of the 4* characters (1,250 frags). If those drops rates apply here, the T3 will take 53 SoT refills. I can think of a lot of better uses for that many refills. :)

[MuzakMaker]

Well you aren't supposed to naturally earn those frags. That's why there is a frag pack for purchase in the store. Don't you know this game no longer supports earning the rewards naturally. You either buy the rewards out right or you buy ironite to grind for them.

[Ydex]

Well, I'll just quickly check the Compendium on this character.. aaannd he's not in there.

[Yup]

Seems they've adjusted LOLX... last LOL grind event X was a good grind. .this one.. is dropping frag horribly. Rarely a drop and then only 5 frags. Looks like they are REALLY pushing to run higher LOL levels and burn even more SOT.

[MetalKing]

The event rewards are not counting. I bought a mega refill when I had 58 sands of time. I ran lord of light 11 with a red shinobi with rage talismans. The 104/500 was from samurai dungeon.

The rewards only show that I completed 6 lol battles and no rage counted. Im out of sands of time. The reward says any lol floors 1 to 15.

[DeathDealer-5301]

Submit a.ticket if you are sure it didn't count. I'm done with that challenge but maybe someone else could also verify it.

[dragonmat89]

Drop rate is pretty lousy - 75 dog frags from about 300 SoT so far in LoL X.

[ElvisIsDead]

@ MetalKing

The LoL dungeon is not a frontier dungeon so runs will not count towards the Rage achievement.

[Mateja]

@ MetalKing

The LoL dungeon is not a frontier dungeon so runs will not count towards the Rage achievement.

LoL 11-15 are frontier dungeons so it should've counted.

[GotN]

This event is totally bugged and a mess! After several restarts and runs I still don’t get ANY fragments from the dungeon (and don’t see any free fragments in store either). Great work NF! Go fix this!!!

[dragonmat89]

Interesting that the frag drop rate is actually higher in LoL XI than X for once (as stated on the event description!). Drop rate from 5 refills (720 SoT) was 255 dog frags for X and 390 dog frags for the same number of SoT in XI. I wasn't looking at Lilith frags so don't know if there was an offset there.

[Muzzleloader]

Lol XI - XV count since you need a key to open then. Anything that takes a key counts as a frontier dungeon.

[ritchbe]

Drop rate from 5 refills (720 SoT) was 255 dog frags for X and 390 dog frags for the same number of SoT in XI. I wasn't looking at Lilith frags so don't know if there was an offset there.

I'm low on ironite and won't be able to finish the event challenges.

From your numbers it seems that RNGesus is swaying towards LoL XI compared to LoL X, which is nice to see.


LoL X: 42.5 dog frags per 120 SoT refil
LoL XI: 65 dog frags per 120 SoT refil


Didn't try LoL XI yet, but so far I got a better return on LoL X than yours:


LoL X: 75 dog frags and 32.5 Lilly frags per 120 SoT refil
LoL XI: 60 dog frags and 10 Lilly frags per 120 SoT refil
LoL XII: 70 dog frags and 7.5 Lilly frags per 120 SoT refil


SoT wasted: 720
Ironite wasted: 180
Fragments received: 410 dog, 100 Lilith

So, be prepared to waste 1400-1500 ironite for 3250 dog Fragments needed for T3...

[MuzakMaker]

Ran a key's worth of LOL XI and got 460 frags. Not amazing but Inhave a feeling this is the best luck I'll have.

Currently sitting at 1160 I don't know if I'll get enough for that T3.

[Ip4]

good event for diary SOT,i like this and previous month because of all this stupid events i collect more than 11000 ironite and save for only special events...

[ritchbe]

Ran a key's worth of LOL XI and got 460 frags. Not amazing but Inhave a feeling this is the best luck I'll have.

Currently sitting at 1160 I don't know if I'll get enough for that T3.

How much ironite did you spend for those 460(1160) frags? the only thing that matters...

[Yup]

I've ran mega refills in both LOL X and then in LOL XV.. relatively the same frag return at around 500 frags per mega refill at either level. The only real difference is how quickly those 500 frags accumulate and the additional item drops, but the SOT cost is about the same for 500 A Dog frags.

[Bakura]

So we are seeing "character specific cosmics" become a regular thing.

For Awakenable toons like Cyborg & Horus, they are great. Even Bhe & Musashi are worth getting their cosmics, BUT I'm not sure it's worth it to chase every one, especially for characters that are obsolete or outdated or were never great anyway. I'm referring to Nomad (I got his, but don't really use him,) and the Shinobi toons (I got 2 T3's cuz they eventually will be Awakenable).... next is Allied General.... when I started in July 2018 he was already on his way out.... so why bother w/ a cosmic for him.
And now Pharaoh Dog King.... I never use him anyway, will a cosmic really help.
I've been grinding LoL 15 & 12 all night for this current event, plus multiple achievements, and awakening toons, but the frag cost for a PDK T2 or T3 is too much.
Why spend ironite for specific cosmics to use on weak toons, when one could invest the ironite to max awaken OP toons to be used in Arena & upper Gauntlet levels. Am I going to use a PDK w/ his cosmic on a team in SS or SSS going up against an all max awakened enemy team?

My main concern is that these character specific cosmics at T3 are still half the Hp & Attk/Mag of a normal yellow T2 or purple T3. Increase of 50% health/def and attk is no big deal when it's half the stats of regular cosmics I use in arena/gauntlet anyway. Their special passive ability is the only upside. But I'm not impressed w/ Musashi. It seems pass. disable actually disabled his T3 cosmic too. It could be a bug.... I don't care anymore. New stuff broken from the start is killing my motivation for the next new thing.

I do spend money, maybe $25 a month avg. or like this month $60. But I'm realizing there will be no way to grind each event, continue awakening characters in between events, AND chase every character specific T3 cosmic. I'm just too poor to afford much more. I feel my spending could be average or just below average. So, I know I'm not alone in this predicament.

I thought I would bring this up, considering the pattern I'm seeing unfold in the last month or so regarding
character specific cosmics for outdated toons.

--------------------------------------------------------------

*Devs, I appreciate all you do and the numerous improvements, I love this game and all the new dungeons.
I just wanted to spark a discussion regarding strategic spending.
I am in no way complaining. Keep up the good work!

[Stormseye]

I commented the same thing in our clan channel but I share your sentiment Bakura. I did not see the "wow" factor in this particular T3 neither did I see it for the General. I did enough frags to get the character but I doubt I will spend anymore resources on this event. I appreciate the variety of options with these new events but not all of them are going be a game changer. For the me the key factor has to be how this will affect Arena play. That is how i make my determination on whether I want to pursue an event cosmic.

In this particular event I feel that the T3 just does not measure up to the current build i use on PDK with Sacred/Grail/Cosmic Serenity.

[Madrik]

used one mega refill to grind XI but wasn't dropping any frags for me so went in lol x and got 435 frags and 503 lillith frags (assassin lillith received) with 107 SOT to spare so not bad, the t3 on the other hand is not worth the SOT to get that many frags

[Yup]

I think if they want to refresh older characters via a cosmic talismans, they are pricing the talismans too high. Yes, it's inevitably cheaper than awakening a character (and certainly takes less dev time). But the cost to get a cosmic for a character you NEVER use other than in perhaps Gauntlet battles is kind of silly.

I often get stopped out of the Gauntlet long, long, long before my roster is depleted due to the overpowered AI teams. (What's that? Max Awakened Moonchild 4 times in a row!!! Seriously? I can only use him ONCE, even if I have 2-3 of them.) But admittedly, I simply stop in the Gauntlet when I hit a decent reward level and don't really try to hit any sort of ranking.

And I agree there are BETTER cosmics out there than these T3 in a few instances. Serenity, Dominance, Redemption, etc Cosmics can blow these character-specific cosmics away at times.

[Blade]

Good summary Bakura!

I am also concerned about what we see recently (actually since dungeons and then awakening started), but as I never was a big spender (~100 in total) and am a free player since more than a year (with 1 exception to get van Helsing), my opinion is not of central interest for the devs.
I found good ways to be efficient, focus on certain things, generate Ironite to be able to do events, don't chase everything and so on. Of course I can't win Gauntlet with that strategy, but I don't care. Some people buy all the crazy things in the store anyway, so a fair competition is never given (which is a general driver in the freemium world, together with the FOMO).
Thing is, I said to myself that I should stop playing when good resource management is not enough to do all events - and they really increased the costs a lot recently (often 100 event souls instead of 75, 25k frag Eddies, 1000 runs here and there, awakening, dungeons and new the new thing the specific cosmics). Not all specific cosmics are great, but as a collector I want them of course!
I am pretty low in Ironite atm, never been that low in a long time. But I played all 1k runs Samurai dungeon and this is reflected in the Ironite banks. Only made a few Airstrip keys so far, so the month could become really expensive if there is the need to do a lot runs there. High hopes for the valentine sac event! A really good sac event is so needed!
One thing that is also extremely sad in my opinion: the lower activity here in the forums because of the clan thing and people using discord. That is really sad, as we had been such a great community here over the last years! That's a clear downside of the clan thing (and how people deal with it)!

[Puntwothree]

I'm going to disagree... completely. Not to be an a-hole, but, you know, to give the devs a bit of a different perspective and maybe open a dialogue.

I don't like the single-character Cosmic Ts. They are nice in the sense that you can leave them on one unit and never re-equip, but I am a tinkerer. Also, I don't have many of the characters the Ts are for, which makes the question of chasing them that much harder to answer (will I open one in a soul? will I spend FC for this guy, sometime in the future?). I think the Cosmic T on Musashi is particularly dumb, because his whole shtick is he can equip whatever. And now you're going to limit those possibilities by creating a must-have Tali for him and burn one of his spaces. Why?? I think giving him awakening would have made much more sense, or some unique ability like: when this Cosmic T is equipped, Musashi gains one additional Talisman space.

Anyway.. these Type (but not Character specific) Ts are A LOT more exciting to me, ESPECIALLY the ones for i.e. "more common" and "outdated" characters like Pharaoh Dogs and Shinobi. Of course you still have to evaluate the passives on a case by case basis to determine if they're chase-worthy, but the right ability-meshing passive can elevate a dud character such that (s)he can find a place in a gauntlet team, or even the arena, et cetera. This is the application I'm looking for in Cosmic Ts, not just suites of abilities to make broken characters (BHE) I don't own more broken.

This Pharoah passive... on the surface my reaction was, "meh." However, transforming silvers is an effect not a lot of things can do... you're looking at The Alchemist and Quantums (a six-set...), really. Doing it with one ability slot is certainly interesting (if not entirely game-breaking). I'm thinking for instance M. PDK (or just PD) with Alchemy/Cosmic might be more effective at fixing your team than either Alchemy or The Alchemist alone.

[Bakura]

I guess-timated grinding LoL 12 at 20 SoT per run, and getting frequent drops of 10 frags and rare drops of 20, to be between 1,500 and 2,000 ironite to get the PDK T3.
1,800 ironite is $50. Is this T3 worth $50?

Funny thing is, the T1 & T2 are very close in stats, but the T2 & T3 are close in cost.

I did 201 runs.... got alot of explosive frags at least. But I'll probably just trade in and get the T1.... unless the "ironite fairy" leaves a Mariner's Bundle of ironite under my pillow!

[druid138]

One thing that is also extremely sad in my opinion: the lower activity here in the forums because of the clan thing and people using discord. That is really sad, as we had been such a great community here over the last years! That's a clear downside of the clan thing (and how people deal with it)!

I have noticed the same thing, Blade! And, I think it's sad as well. I try to be just as active here as in the past, but, to be honest, the extra hours needed to grind has caused more interference with that than Discord.

[Bakura]

@ Stormseye, yup, madrik, blade and druid:
You guys make excellent points.
I appreciate the support.

I have mentioned multiple times that it's "like a ghost town nowadays."

My clan is primarily forum regulars. I see more of them in chat than here.
I too am either grinding or here. My only internet is through my phone so I can only do one online thing at a time. So I prefer the forum cuz I can post in between grinding or downloading tv shows/movies. If I'm in chat and nothing is really going on, I have to log out and get back to the game.
But for those who can grind on their mobile device while also on their computer hanging out chatting about the game, yeah that sounds pretty cool.

I say all this as a disclaimer to my fellow clansmen, on why I'm rarely in chat.

[Blade]

It is not only a question of time, but a change in perspective. Although we play against each other in Arena, the forum used to be a place to communicate with each other, help each other and this created a feeling of blood brothers "against the game" and how to beat the game. We still share teams for dungeons and stuff, but still I see a certain tendency. Depending on how the feature will be designed in the end, it could become a lot worse with the clan wars thing as many players seem to share information with their clan members instead of the community to gain some sort of advantage. Makes sense, but is bad for the community. And it has a big potential for bad vibes as we have seen with some recent Arena posts...

[Stormseye]

In one aspect yes, clans/discord have detracted from the forum input by several individuals including myself, but it has also hyper-focused interaction within these clans and many who did not post on forums regularly are, for whatever reason, more comfortable sharing information within this smaller outlet. We have dedicated channels to different aspects of the game and they are all actively discussed by almost every single member of the clan.

The forums are slightly outdated in terms of speed of communication and that is just a result of the change in the times. In the past I would post something and then spend the remainder of the day waiting for someone to respond. Now I can post something in my clan discord and get a response within minutes or even seconds.

The forums still have relevance for direct information from the development team, but as far as discussion and application, discord channels are becoming the norm.

[Beddie]

I feel these cosmics are trying to add/ revive usage for some older toons (which is good) but does it at the cost of making it a talisman instead of a solid buff

Yes, I agree with this as well. I remember how things changed when Arena launched, and competition between players started to create conflict that hadn't really existed prior to that. I prefer a close and cooperative community working together "against the game" (as you put it), rather than sub-communities working against each other.

I agree with you too, stormseye. In only a few minutes on Discord, we can cover more ground than is sometimes covered in days here. I don't know what the solution to that is, but I do find it unfortunate that this central and "official" place for the entire community seems to be falling behind a bit.

[Blade]

But apparently this is turning now, see the post from Stormseye....discord is the norm!

Different channels for different topics? Sounds like a forum to me ;) Yes, it might all be faster and fresh, but man, don't make me feel that old! The game is not our job dear fellas! There is no need to reply within seconds! Checking the forum twice a day should be absolutely enough! I already have enough stress during work, don't need that for a game in addition

[druid138]

The problem is that some events have limited time and when you are trying to grind out 3500 frags in X hours/days you need information about what build to use and how to gain the most return for resources invested. Waiting 2 days for forum posts is not going to help. Yes the layout is similar to the forums but on a much faster pace. Speed of Information has become necessity and not novelty.

Also I understand the irony of the speed of replies on this particular topic but this is also way off course of the intention of this post...lol

[Bakura]

The forum is a great resource for new players. Anyone stumbling onto this forum by online searching Legacy of the Beast, can read all the comments and gather a ton of useful tips w/ out even logging in.

I read comments for a month before joining. Then another month before my first post. Then 2 more months before regular posting.

That's mainly why I do the Dungeon Guides.... so newer people can get a peak at the dungeons from my experience.

If everyone ends up in private chats, the general public will be left out in the cold.

I hope way more people are reading these posts than we are aware of.

Stormseye will never know how much info I picked up from his comments when I started, while just being an anonymous fly on the wall.
If it wasn't for the forum guys, I'd still be doing these LoL grinds manually.
hahaha

[Blade]

I just reply to show the speed of the forum :D

Bakura, you really do a great job with all the guides and stuff (together with azgathor (or similar spelling, sorry :) )! And Stormseye, I also really enjoy your Arena posts, I hope you continue those here in the forum!

We all learn from each other, I was also reading several months here before I joined the forum and apparently lot of folks do that aswell!

I get the positive aspects of discord, but don't let the forum die guys!

[druid138]

By the way, I noticed a new record for most Forum users online was set recently. For years, the record was stuck on a number set in October 2016. So, hopefully, you're right Bakura, and we have lots of players visiting here often!

7757

And, if you are one of those visiting here often as a guest, please join, so we can get your insights as well! ;)

[infinite dreamer]

I hope way more people are reading these posts than we are aware of.



Even now there are currently 17 forum members and 231 viewing, so this forum is still useful. Like you said, especially for new players.

[Bakura]

The big draw of the discord chat is the ability to speak "un-moderated"... we can cuss in there.... and gogosox40 can post his daily jogging big lady w/ popping out breastesses .gif

[Stormseye]

I can neither confirm nor deny these Clan Secrets....

[Yup]

Here's the thing about discord...

It gives anyone the power to interrupt you at any time for anything. Or... you simply look like a "lurker" at all times.

I'm typically working when seen at the forums. I can take 10 minutes, check the forums, respond and move on. The interruption is under my control (and often while I wait for other things).

With discord it's REALLY hard to ignore pings or to stay abreast of the conversation. Yes I can mute and ignore pings, but then why be in the chat? I can be there and just be idle.. but I find that sort of "creepy" -- to have someone never participate but always there. (I've always felt that way about any chat system). So If I've loaded Discord I feel obliged to participate in some way. And that simply eats up time. Which means I CAN'T do that while I work. And if I'm not working.. I'm most often not at an internet device other than the iPad running LotB to grind forever.

While I enjoy Discord, it has it's place. And the forums have there place. They aren't really comparable, to me at least. Forums contain a record you can (poorly) search if desired. But Discord allows you to share or discuss things you may not otherwise want to allow everyone (including devs) to know about.

[Bakura]

I made the mistake of posting on the Lotb FB page, in response to a gamers comment, trying to help.
Some high school kid just butted in a attacked me. I posted some replies, but he was being a Troll.

Another time he did it again.
It didn't stop until I threatened to visit him physically and put my weight training & martial arts experience to good use. His profile showed he was just 4 hours from me & his picture.
Mine says Bakura Smith and a pic of Eddie.
I will never try to help anyone there anymore. FB Lotb is only good for event notification & free compensation or ironite info.

They complain so much there, I call it Bitch Book.
Poor Ceeg gets alot of cr@p from them.

[Stormseye]

Funny how a many the FB groups hate the forum members. I have run into the same things Bakura. Offer some insight and get hammered by the group. There are some good people there that want to help and then then are those that still have Eternity talismans on Ferryman so.....

[MuzakMaker]

It's also good for finally getting your tickets resolved. I will wait months with no response but if I complain there all of my tickets suddenly get attention.

Ceeg gets a lot of unwarranted flack but some of it is justified. Downside of FB is it's so instantaneous that he's made mistakes or not even bothered to actually read or properly research before replying.

[Yup]

What's Facebook???



Oh that's right... one of Zuckerberg's data collecting apps :).

[Natasmai]

the reason i prefer discord is pretty simple. I like the people I chat with on discord... you cant filter out all the jackasses on the forums. And there are way too many jackasses.

I am not a freq poster here, but i visit almost every event. So much useful info here from a lot of awesome contributors/players. I have never used facebook.. perhaps because i am too old for that shit or perhaps i hate how nosey, self-righteous and disrespectful facebook users seem to be. Regardless, I hope that the forum continues.... its the only place i bother to look.

On a side note... anyone notice how ridiculous the ironite drops in skull quests are now...? and also daily/weekly dungeons... almost non existent... spend more than you get back. Rather disappointing!!

Anyways... Rock N Roll \m/

Data collecting?
Did you hear about 4 chinese military soldiers indicted by the U.S. for stealing more than half of the U.S. citizen's SS#'s and credit info by hacking Equifax.
This is why I maintain bad credit....lol.

I resemble that remark, buddy! Watch it!

(Now I know why no one responds to me on Discord).

Chinese military soldiers working part time for a Zuckerberg subsidiary........ .. allegedly. :)

Getting back to this particular event, is it just me or are the connectivity issues suddenly a major pain to deal with again? I've been trying to run LoL XI but the stupid connection errors keep appearing so damn constantly that I have no choice but to babysit the game for 2 hours to close them up whenever they appear. And no, there is absolutely nothing wrong with my internet.

[MuzakMaker]

The connection issues have been sitting at around every 3 "actions" for months for me. Better than every time it tries to contact the server but still unacceptable and ruins the chance for overnight grinding.

[Ydex]

I was running auto-play on LoL XI, and after a while I looked at my phone, just sitting on the "Victory" screen.

I was like, okay... victory... GO AHEAD AND PLAY THE NEXT FvCKING BATTLE

Why spend ironite for specific cosmics to use on weak toons, when one could invest the ironite to max awaken OP toons to be used in Arena & upper Gauntlet levels. Am I going to use a PDK w/ his cosmic on a team in SS or SSS going up against an all max awakened enemy team?


I think if they want to refresh older characters via a cosmic talismans, they are pricing the talismans too high.


Yeah, this seems to be the main problem with the current Pharaoh Dog cosmic. It appears to be an attempt to make older characters relevant again, and while they'll probably not be used much by end-game players, they could be useful for low/mid-range players, as some of those dogs aren't too difficult to get hold of. However, those costs are wildly off considering the short event window. Offering the T1 for 500 frags would make it far more accessible, while still giving people the option of grinding for the T3 if they really wanted it.

Nice post! being short I´ll say:

-I miss Stormseye´s posts about arena.

-I did 3 mega on Lol XIV every one of them gave me exactly 200 frags

-Those 3 mega refills gave me only 7 4* colorless balls for Evolution

-Specific Cosmic Talisman looks like the opposite direction of the main reason they were created for... give dynamic to chars, allow you to create your own setup. Of course, you can choose not to use them but on the other hand, they are really powerful.

Stormseye just posted an update recently! Its awesome, go check it out.


I have near 0 connectivity issues as always... Im sorry for you guys that struggle with this shit.

After the event started, I loaded a ton of SoT, started autorunning LOL X and in the mid-morning I had the dog and the T3 purchased and I was on to the next thing. Run a solid 10 hours or so with no interruptions.

I will say the game doesnt like leaving a "network" If I am on my wifi at home, then i leave my house, it switches to 4G but the game will show a conn error, i click the ok and it continues no issues until i connect to the wifi at work... then conn error again, click ok.... run all day.... every time you switch the "source" of internet service the game needs to be reassured that it is safe to continue. Annoying, but not a big deal.

Perhaps you guys are in areas where the signal isnt solid and the phone or tablet continues to reconnect in the background?

[DeathDealer-5301]

I was away yesterday and couldn't run these tests until now. For those wanting to grind LOL, it depends on what you're after, but LOL XII seems the best. Didn't run XIII or XIV and just one key for each test. X was a one hour run.
Lower levels seem to give more Lilith frags, higher level more Awakening frags. High levels also suck for dog frags.
We know LOL X won't give awakening frags, so it's really a big loss if you can't run keys in XI or XII.

Numbers adjusted to be based on 120 SoT
......................X.....XI.....XII....XV
Dog Frags........67...57.....73.....32
Lil frags...........25...12.....11.....5
Awake Frags.....0....37.....43.....74
Got enough frags for one T3 now, really not sure I'll go for another. Only reason would be to stock up on awakening frags.
