Bottleneck - 3 star rainbow evolution runes?

[bwalsh1969]

Just curious if I'm in the minority or if this is typical - I have a decent bunch of 5 star characters, mostly 4 star characters, slowly converting my 1-3s up to 4/5.
My "A-Team" all have 5 star talismans and I'm at the point of wanting to explore what all my other characters can do.
In order to get these other characters to fight at a comparable level, they'll obviously need 5 star talismans as well.

But after a few weeks of just farming the highest levels I'm getting tons of colored runes, and extremely few rainbow runes. Is this a common bottleneck?

That's one of the mysteries of this game.

Some, like me, get these dropped 10 and more times a day (often 2x in 1drop and rarely 4x in 1drop), and others will complain about them not dropping....

In fact my lack of gold to use them all simultaneously makes me have often 20-30 of them sitting there for a couple of days.

It is a common bottleneck and likely an intended one over the long term, game dynamics dictating that it makes sense to have every character leveled with 3/4 talismans with the hard-earned 5* talismans being rare, as opposed to every player having enough 3* rainbows to outfit the whole roster, but not being to level up past 2/3 because 1* or 2* raibows are the bottleneck).

With that said, my experience has been the opposite of yours as of late. There IS and WAS a 3* bottleneck but it appears to be working just right or just as intended, as I have no problem levelling one or two 4* talis to 5* after a normal day of grinding.

The REAL bottleneck is standard runes, which prevents 5* AND 2/3* advancement alike for that matter. It has been a real juggling act trying to balance out newly-evolved talismans with begged/borrowed/stolen runes of any color, just to restore stats to the same level they were before the evolution.

Lack of gold? Man, this game is really crazy lol. I'm playing for only a month and have 3 million, but have only 10 of that 3*evo rune. Everyone seems to have a different bottleneck like stated above.

3 millions is nothing mate, you can easily spend 3 millions and wont max 6 talismans, to max one sole character :cool:

[IceeeDz]

So I have the money to maximize like 4 talismans, but I don't have enough materials to maximize even 1...

I still don't think my problem is gold :p

Hm, I'm in a desperate need for runed to max my 5* talismans, but even so i also have much more colored evolution runes than rainbow ones, currently need 3* rainbow runes as well, and i farm quite a lot

I want to level a warrior char to 5* but I need some 3 star evo runes. But those runes only drop on LoL 7-9 next week. There's nothing I can do besides wait 5 days? :(

If you mean shards (and not runes), yes, you gotta wait. (unless you're lucky in a secret location inbetween)

Yes, shards! Thanks for the right answer even with the wrong question ;)

Bottleneck? :confused:
Maybe once, but now you get plenty of them in Battlefield/Underworld madness for example..even 2 per stage sometimes..maybe you haven't unlocked them yet?

[Reeb99]

Like most of the respondents, I have plenty of 3* rainbow runes. The 2* rainbow runes seem be be a bit of a bottleneck now though. I evolved 3 - 4 talismans to 5* yesterday alone, and still have quite a few left.

[Shifter]

After the lowering of the 2* requirements for 5* talismans I did run out of 3* evo runes, so it's kinda of a bottleneck, but no where near the bottleneck it was before with the 2* evo runes.

At different times of the game different materials will be rare and be a bottleneck, just have to keep farming.

I have been getting 3* evo runes about every 3-4 runs in Madness Soulless Demon. I have been averaging enough to take 1 talisman a day to 5*.

[Nicko]

3* rainbow was a bottleneck before the October update, now they drop routinely here. I have almost 100.

As has been said, regular runes (and to a lesser degree colored 1-2*) are the bottleneck now...

Thanks to all for the feedback. I think I experienced a combination of bad luck in the campaign and spending too much time in the LOL dungeons.
After reading the responses I did nothing but Game of Death Madness and have collected quite a bit of 3 star rainbow evolution runes.

It would be nice if there was a 'like' feature in this forum :cool:

With the latest game updates 3* evo shards and runes are waaaaaay more common. Farm Underworld (Madness) Game of Death (it's faster than Number of the Beast) and you'll get enough 3* runes to upgrade at least 1 talisman per day.
