Drop rates for this event seem to be the same as always. I just finished my 34th refill and have 1985 MBB frags, which averages out to 58 frags per refill.Quote:

That's been the average for at least a year, 4 frags per level X battle. Lilith drop about 1.4 per battle. A small run may bring big variation especially if you get several 50 frag drops. I dont see much variation after many hundreds of battles. The correlation I have found is the more event frags that drop the fewer lilith frags you get.
The same goes for 3* evo shards, the more colored you pull the fewer colorless drop.
I have found they do seem to drop in clusters. A few refills may give great or terrible drops. Just keep playing and they average out.
Yah know..
Things would feel more fun if they adjusted and dropped frags at the same frequency as evo shards and adjust the amount needed for (whatever).
That way.. every single run you get 5, 10, 15 frags but you need 10000 or 12000 for the (whatever).
It would merely be a difference in perception. Rather than burning through 600 SOT for 2-3hours and getting 250 frags, you'd burn through 600SOT and get 2500 frags - and see them drop with each run. So it would feel FAR more progressive.... even if you really needed 12000 or 15000 frags for the (whatever).
This is my T3 Freeze Cosmic from the event at level 20. Well worth the ironite, in my opinion.

Yup, these stats restarted my farming effort, too.
The event ends in less than 20 hours and I still need 1845 frags (and I dare to hope to make them in 14-15 hours ( :) ), since the game resets at 2 am my time and I would really like to be asleep by that time already).
Edit:
At the end it too me almost all the remaining 20 hours to farm those missing 1845 frags. I finished farming at 1:45 am (15 minutes to midn... err, end of event). Best time was 0:26, average about one minute.
(Side note: during this all-day run I was able to completely level max from 1 to 100 warrior Child of the Damned I finally got thanks for the fragments from sacrifice challenges:) )
Overall: it took 10 Mega refils (1500 Ironite) to get 3250 frags total. I have the bomber and 50 useless frags left (hoped for higher rolls in the last 15 minutes to get one evo rune, didn't work).
How do you get so much Ironite, guys, so that you can throw in couple of thousands every month to buy refils?
Just for documentary purpose, here is its current status at 1* level 10:

I did the stoopid yesyerday and had been collecting souls in the Book and doing the colelct all thing - did that a few times and clicked on the event frags by mistake and did nto notice when I hit the button.....so I know have 14 Bomber Boys and I had to hit the LOL again as I could not be bothered with the support ticket.....so loads of sac fodder and my phone in constant play to get to the 3k frags again! Joy, but its fine I have the ironite and my own fault for not looking - I am auto on many things in this game now!
Still not sure what to go for. I might end up with about 4k of frags. Getting a T3 with guarantee is nice, as are the stats. But the 12% freeze is one of the weakest effects of all. For stun (paralysis talis) it is the same 12%, all other effects have at least 35%. The evo material might be more important in the long run I think and getting all 3 types 10 times also sums up to 3k frags. Some hours left to think about that...
It used to be higher but it was abused by the corrupt general + blue bat for auto-stunning everyone, so it was nerfed.Quote:

I'm in the same boat as you. But look at the HP and ATK boost you would get from the 1 talisman. To me the freeze is just a bonus.Quote:

I'm on the way to 1500, it's a scarce thing but this time after too much of my personal ironite bunker i can buy the first time something like this. :D
Buying a Talisman T2 (sadly i can't buy a T3 if i could i just would do it, because i love the number 3 xD and it sounds badass i you can evolve it) or better go with the Runes?
But i think a T2 even with freeze could be a cool thing..,
I think over the time there will be more often grinds like this, and for me it's too expensive to grind 24/3. :D
And i think over the time there will be more possibilities to earn these kind of runes i hope.
Edit:
I bought a T2 just now.
I evolved it to 2* LVL 20
HP +7416
ATK +797
DEF +689
It is similar to another T2 with ATK +15% from a talisman soul.
HP +7758
ATK +790
MR +729
I think that they the stats are similar all over if it is T1-T3 and the colors are the same.
I made my mind and will go for a T2 talisman, hopefully it has the same stats at level 30 that a T3 level 20. 8k HP doesn't make too much difference nowadays when you receive an attack for more than 100k.
Will use the rest fragments, about 2000, to buy Evo material which by the way is very expensive imo, in comparison with the evolution event which will give you Evo material on a much easier way.
Well I ended up with 14-15 bombers by mistakingly claiming them. So had to start again to get the T3 - which I just got. I then was able to get a few upgrade resources but missing one black rain to get it to max so that wil need to wait.
Decent event in the end and had the ironite so happy enough!
Wait what? You claimed 14-15 what would be 2800-3000 fragments AND started again and got a T3? o_OQuote:

So now I need to decide what to do with the frags. They typically keep the items in the store for a day or 2 after an event ends correct?
Aye! My own stupid fault for being half asleep doing the Book of Souls.....! That was yesterday so I had time to get there but was pretty much full time on the phone with auto to get there...made it with a few hours to spare too! Think I was a few hundred away from the T3 when I did it - I nearly sobbed! LOLQuote:

I bought the T3 yesterday and thought to myself: “There is still a day and a half left...i could even get the T2...”
Was done pretty early in the afternoon and i don’t regret getting them. even a T2 purple is a great guaranteed reward. better than chasing after those talisman souls and getting T1 whites...
I ended up getting the T1, T2, and T3 (after getting the M Bomberboy with the first 200 frags)... and am now grinding to collect frags for the runes.... I figure the T1 purple with freeze is way better than the white T1s most of the time.
I just finished myself. Got the t3 and was lucky enough to have 5 black rains saved up. I tried it in arena. Very nice tal, i just wish freeze worked more than once in every 20 shots
Ahh.. but it only needs to work once if you can "extend negative effects on target" :) I threw it on Gambler.. won a match because he froze a couple.. then just kept them frozen until they died :)Quote:

just noticed the event is expiring yesterday. Luckily bought (at least a t1) talisman on each device. A frozen set 1-slot can change some game.
Didn't check much yet yesterday evening, but if it's really atk and life, prepare to see some warriors (or physical damage dealers) with frozen "sets" soon.
I bought 3 mega refills of SoT to run it overnight. Work up in the morning to find a connection error and still over 1200 SoT left. Surprise surprise.... I ended up 365 frags short of the T3 so got the T2 and evo material instead. Been trying to use up the remaining SoT all day and its still going :/ Fair to say I won't bother with that again.
They did a server restart 1.5 hours before reset. I got the notice by chance, as I restarted the app before the final grind and going to bed (rollover in germany is 2 o'clock at night...). Luckily, the server restart was really quick - but still, and as your story shows - a server restart right at the end of such an intense grind event is not cool and I hope the restart was really really necessary. Some data was downloaded/installed after this restart, so the next events seem to be prepared. But again, this could have waited after the LoL event was over, as we see no new event today anyway!Quote:

Do what you want and can, BUT I hope that the devs do NOT draw the conclusion that they should increase the prices because of the few ultra hardcore grinders out there.
Hoping for some relaxed days or weeks now, as Dungeon and LoL grind following each other is maximum madness in my opinion.
Crashed consistently on autoplay here. I learn after the MARCH update to not rely on it running overnight any longer. Apparently they don't really care.Quote:

Not a bad event in the end. Got what I wanted, spent close to double the ironite planned due to my mistaken book of souls cock up btu hey ho that's my own stupid fault! All good!
A server restart? How delightful. I did see the pop-up about new game data and a restart required so that it explains it. And I hear ya about needing a break, been an intense start to the month imo.Quote:

As it is now, you need to be lucky doing an app restart at the right time to see that red stripe at the bottom of the display with the relevant info. I did it 12 minutes before the restart took place, so I was just lucky. Again: ingame warning is absolutely needed but even more important: don't do it during an event (or only at rollover if really necessary) - thanks!Quote:

It was a miserable grind, it shouldn't have been such a short event. Why do we need a full week to sacrifice things but only a couple days to do a million runs of LoL? Drop rates were horrendous relative to the costs of the items, the constant reboots and updates were unreal, it was a pretty shitty event really.
Actually I never understood why LoL events only run for 3 days (and always for the same 3 classes) while LoL is open for 5 days!? I would like to see the event extended to all 5 LoL days, so some people might even grind more AND you can still have a chance to get some good rewards even if you miss out 1 or 2 days and/or cannot play 24h a day. I mean come on, most people here have jobs, families and other stuff to do with their time and phone. It would be a sign of respect to be a little more flexible here!
It used to be 5 days a year ago. I have no idea what made them change it.Quote:

I found some now that did run 4 days in the early days (June 2017 was the first ever!). Honestly I also thought that they were 5 days long once...that's why I checked :)
Yeah managing phone charge was hardest part for last 2 events. Major resource harvest for sure over 900 SoW, good talismans and piles of soulsAttachment 5651
I do not have a job at the moment because of mental issues, no childs and a lot of time, but even with all of this kind it's too much for me.., it's stressful like a full time job..,Quote:

And with these new "Keys" for this Dungeon things it get's more confusing and time consuming.
I skip a lot of Events or characters when it gets to messy for me because my brain has other things to do, more important than this.., the times where this game was fun to play were back in the days when i started it in January 2017..,
A lot of things were achievable without this Event Madness, without to block your phone 24/7 to get what you want..,
For me it's really sad.., i like new content, and characters and Talismans but not this new new new and now or never or months/years later again thing.., it sucks.
Hey man (and trooper!), sad to hear about your problems! I hope you do as well as possible and find some peace with yourself the game! Maybe a break would help indeed, but on the other hand you might miss out some things you will probably miss even more later? Nobody knows. You need to be satisfied with your decision to enjoy it!
You are not alone, I have the impression that a lot of players have the same issue at the moment with the game. It is getting so EXTREMELY time consuming with one grind event after the other that "forces" you to let the game run the whole day (and night). It is very confusing, especially as there was this post from the devs that they do consider to reduce the number of events (or something like that), while the situation now is the complete opposite. I already posted after the LoL event that I am looking forward to some more quiet weeks for the rest of the month. Especially as it's summer time and we all want to do some barbecues and stuff, and there should not always be the need to think about this game!! July could be very interesting because of the game birthday and start of the band tour!
Until then I try to relax a bit and see the game more like a management game. You analyse the challenge, set up strategies and teams and let the game do it's job. I collect all the things I want (like the T3 cosmic) and can have (like the 3 Alchemy sets recently) but cannot care about most of it right now, but I will sometime in the future when I have more time. I have so many unused Talis sets in the inventory! I still like to play Arena manually as it is the core of the game in my understanding, although the lack of variety is a shame regarding the huge number of characters, abilities and combinations that WOULD be possible. It all ends again in the conclusion, that this is not a real game but a freemium game with all the (bad) consequences. I recently started to play the Breaking Bad game a bit, as I really enjoyed the tv series and it is nice to dive into the story again. It is fun to play, as I like the combination of building up your camp, ressource management and fighting. It is interesting to see how they included RNG there and how they try to get your money aswell :D
Again, all the best to you and fingers crossed that you can relax a bit and don't let the "game" stress you out that much! Feel free to discuss any strategies etc. if you like!
