Please help with 3* Evo Runes--explain

[Horus-2545]

What are colorless Evo runes for? I would have thought that they would be used to awaken a cosmic creature. Nope--they require yellow. Why do I even want these Evo runes, and why do I keep getting them? Yet, I cannot find any 3* blue evo runes. Where are people finding these? Are they in any frontier dungeons? I was able to farm Gangland for Yellow 3*. But the only blues that I see come from Blue LOL once per week, and the drop rates are totally crappy.

Frozen Wasteland drops most colours I believe and is easy, cheap to run, and open for ages

[Yup]

Evolution takes BOTH colored AND colorless evo stones. I.e. 4 star to 5 star......

Awakening... only needs the colored evo stones.

Evo Runes or Evo Shards? Evo Runes are for talismans, Evo Shards are for characters.

Frozen Wasteland drops all six types of 3* evolution shards, but it's not good for the blue ones. It is best for Purple, Green, and Red 3*. Can read more about that dungeon HERE.

I think the first awakening step, from 5* -> 6* required 100 colourless 3* shards too right?

That's right, you "only" need 100 of those to go to tier 6. Then, every time you will need more colored ones 25, 50, 75, 100... plus some additional awakening material
Evo runes are needed to upgrade level 4 Talismans or Cosmic.

So it is true then that there is no good place for 3* bricks other than LOL. I spent 650 sands of time and got ten 3* blues yesterday.

Horus; what level LoL r u playing on? i get a lot of 3* both colored and not when playing on Lvl X, also if ur really hurting for some and have ironite to spare u can get a evo pack in the store from time to time for 475 ironite, also if u got awaken souls thats another easy way to get a lot of 3* colored evo shards as i've gotten every color when summoning them and they're easy to get.

The particular 3* brick that is so difficult to get is blue. None of the Frontier Dungeons drop Blue. (They drop other colors. I have a brick load of red, green, colorless, and purple). I do Level 10 on the weekly blue LOL dungeon. I'll play it again this week and hope for better drop rates. I don't have that much iron rite to spend for 6 of those bricks. My basic point is that clearly there is a problem with drop rates of that particular color brick.

i'll try the magus LoL when it comes up this week to see how many i get from drops; i know i've been saving mine till i get the magus LoL so i got enough of them for the 1st 2-3 lvls, good luck wensday

This is what i earned over a full 8 hours in the Frozen wasteland. The full 8 hours, uninterrupted cost me 2500 SoT and gave me the following bricks:

Frozen wasteland is atrocious for BLUE and YELLOW, excellent for the other colors.

Awakening... only needs the colored evo stones.

For awakening, from 5 to 6 requires colorless (as someone else has mentioned) Here is a handy chart I made for myself when I was maxing all of my characters. This chart does not address the increased costs for Beast and Cyborg. They require 10 5* colored (instead of 5) and also require over 13Mil gold for the final awakening (instead of over 10Mil) and finally, they require 6 of the "special" shard (instead of 3)

So it is true then that there is no good place for 3* bricks other than LOL. I spent 650 sands of time and got ten 3* blues yesterday.

This is the general rule for farming 3* bricks. Obviously, take this with a grain of salt. I understand some of these dungeons are either too hard, or too cost restrictive for everyone to just farm them as needed for whatever materials they want. All other considerations aside, this is the best option for each of the materials. I will list the sources in order of preference (drops most often to drops least often):

Purple: Infernal Dungeon; Labyrinth/Airstrip; raven's altar/Frozen wasteland; LOL X
Yellow: Labyrinth; Airstrip/Gangland; Raven's Altar; LOL X
Red: Frozen Wasteland; Gangland; Raven's; LOL X
Green: Frozen Wasteland; Raven's; LOL X
Blue: Raven's; LOL X

NEVER EVER EVER purchase those packs. In fact, generally speaking you should never buy anything that costs ironite except SoT refills. There are exceptions obviously, but even then the exceptions are a bad deal that may be necessary, like the 10 packs of event souls. They shouldnt be bought, but if you are close to getting a character, or if you are willing to spend enough real cash to get enough ironite to buy all the 10 packs required to "earn" the character from frag drops, then it's an acceptable purchase. The best use of your ironite will ALWAYS be buying more sands of time to run more dungeons to farm for more materials.

Oh and hands down (again, assuming you have a team strong enough to run it) best place for farming gold is night city madness, words of warning. you will earn 21,000 gold per 8 SoT run, it takes (me) about 15sec per run, and you get 4* talisman drops which can be sold for additional gold (or obviously kept if you want them)
