Guides Let’s Discuss 9.2 Here

Instead of having multiple posts how about just one. I have sooo many issues.

A) I am on the Xbox and let me tell you having to now have to press down on R and L stick to access screens is annoying.
B) I finished the quest why am I seeing the map quest for each kingdom again? It should be one screen with option and not the press stick down garbage.
C) Going through each kingdom to level up troops is laborious. I tended not to update lousy troops once I reached 37 troops well I am paying the piper now.

At level 51 it tells you that you get 7 dust for that kingdom. How does that work? I saw the screen for the hour that gives you stuff but I don’t see dust listed.

I am still confused about crystals. I get they help level up kingdoms but should I level up kingdoms first via tasks and once I can’t then use crystals? Or should I use all my crystals for main kingdom and those that give plus one magic?

I hate pets and it’s creating a bottleneck since kingdoms are asking for 7 pets at level 20. I haven’t been buying pets on Tuesday so I lack the orbs. Also pet orbs via gnome keys is exceedingly rare.

Delve is another bottleneck. I hate delves but need to now level them up to 2500.

Oh also in PvP shop gold is kinda useless except for shiny keys and dragonite.

Let me repeat the user interface for kingdoms is unwieldy and just dumb.

If there are other issues please add them and answers or questions.

OK, I got it:

  • You have to go to each kingdom and "Collect all Tasks"

  • Once I did that, I went to all my lowest-level kingdoms and used crystals to level them all up evenly. Now my lowest-levels are Level 37 and my highest are Level 54. I have a couple that have enough XP to get to Level 55 but my Global Pop isn't high enough.

  • It isn't clear to me where the best bang-for-buck in Global Pop increases are, i.e. is it better to use crystals to pull a Level 34 to Level 35, or a Level 50 to Level 51? Maybe you get the same Global Pop increase no matter where you level, but the Crystals:Levels ratio is better at low level kingdoms because the XP-to-Level threshold is lower?

  • Class levelling is no longer part of kingdom progression, ie no longer a payoff for levelling a class to 100. So no more class grind except for completionism?

  • Weapon acquisition beyond 14/kingdom matters again. The adage "use diamonds to craft weapons, not mythics" still holds. Faction weapons, etc.

  • Being able to use the otherwise useless Mythic Ingots and Cursed Runes to craft Doomed Weapon scrolls is nice, but the recipe requires 3 x Celestial Traitstones per scroll, so Celestial Traitstones bottleneck this

  • The new "Power 30" is effectively "all 3 task tracks hard blocked for lack of a thing to upgrade", eg "upgrade 10 pets to 20" when there are only 9 pets for that kingdom

  • Pet Food is a serious, serious roadblock. I have Orbs of Minions up the yinyang but no pet food to level them up with. Crafting pet food is a horrible burn of gemstones though especially when they are needed for weapons

  • The removal of deed books from the PVP Store means gold marks are now a regular source of Dragonite

  • I really, really, really hope Gemologica is updated to track the new systems

Getting food is relatively easy via explore. The merchant almost always has it for 2500 per color.
