Chests

Wanted Mission chests AKA chests

Click for notes

Raid chest

Wanted Heroes Mission chest AKA raid chest

As a general rule of thumb, open your raid chest in the highest arena you can get into, preferably gold, or higher ( see notes )

Titan loot

As a general rule, try to get Titan loot tier 9+ ( see notes )

Storage

For maximum food, and iron, from all chests, get your food storage, and iron storage, to maximum ( see notes )

Titan chests

Wanted Titans Mission chest AKA titan chest

As Far As We Know, all titan chests are equal, so defeating 1x Titan every day maximizes the Titan chest and chance of a rare chest

Rare chest

Wanted Elemental Mission chests AKA rare chests have an equal chance to spawn in place of Monster, Raid and Titan chests ( see notes )

To fill/ farm an specific elemental/ color monsters for a rare chest, see notes

No food in rare chest

Rare chests do not give food or iron

([Suggestion] Add HUGE amounts of iron and food to Rare Wanted Elemental Chests)

Monster chest

Wanted Monster Mission chest AKA monster chest

As Far As We Know, all monster chests are equal

Stage 1.7-3

With 6 World Energy per hour, filling the monster chest should not be a problem

But Season 1, Province 7, Stage 3 ( 1.7-3 ) has a huge number of monsters per World Energy for filling the monster chest

Most monsters in 1.7-3 are purple/ dark so also good for filling a purple/ dark rare chest

Skipping chests

You can spend gems to skip chests ( see notes )

Skipping Titan chests

You cannot skip titan chests

Skipping Monster chests

The only time I recommend skipping wait on Wanted Monster Mission Chest ( AKA monster chest ) is before Legendary training, before three rainbow 4* 3.60 teams, or if you REALLY need food or iron.

Skipping Raid chests

The only time I recommend skipping wait on Wanted Hero Mission Chest ( AKA raid chest ) is

You monthly budget can afford it,

You can open in Platinum, or Diamond,

You have maximum food storage, and maximum iron storage,

You need food and/ or iron and/ or 3*
ascension items ( farmable/ non farmable )

and you have all 15x allowed teams, at least 2x pins ( for pin codes ), and 15x to 45x empty hero roster slots for collecting training camps

PS ZS, fix this:

([Suggestion,QoL] Change 1* 1.1 / 2* 1.1 heroes into 1* 1.1 / 2* 1.1 Trainer heroes, zero roster space for trainer heroes and EHT on level up or update Camps, and Level up, for all/new players [Catch up mechanic])

3* / 4* ascension items

Raid chest

@Gryphonknight

Higher Raid Arenas ( Platinium and Gold ) have an increased chance for high-level ascension materials

Titan loot

@Gryphonknight

Wanted Mission rewards and high-level Titan loot has a chance to give out any high-level ascension material

Titan loot tier 9+

@Guvnor

Ascension Materials

Gold, or higher, raid chest

@Gryphonknight

@Scrutator

I’m at the upper end of the platinum league, I always enter the diamond league for a short time and get kicked out again

Opening a gold, or higher, chest gives you better chance at good loot .

The only time I recommend skipping wait on Wanted Monster Mission Chest is before Legendary training, before three rainbow 4* 3.60 teams, or if you REALLY need food or iron.

Notes

@Gryphonknight

Higher Raid Arenas ( Platinium and Gold ) have an increased chance for high-level ascension materials

@Gryphonknight

But it’s GLOWING

You can fill a Wanted Hero Mission Chest and leave it unopened until you are in Diamond. Just because it is full, does not mean you have to open it.

Especially with twenty Tourney energy per week, this is often the least expensive option.

Storage and Chests ( linky, linky)

Storage and chests

@Gryphonknight

@Revelate

Yeah, to firm this up I did eventually get my alt to level 20 storages and then suddenly both of my accounts were getting functionally identical ham values from raid chests and all other rolls incidentally (titans, monster chests, etc. though I didn’t track this as zealously).

Moral of the story, eat your Wheaties aka level your storages… especially these days.

Skipping chests

@CheTranqui

For those interested, here are the details on skipping chests for Wanted Missions:

Fandom Wiki: Wanted Missions

In my understanding from discussions with other players, the skipping usually occurs in the final few hours so that it only costs a few gems, but makes knocking out a 2nd, or 3rd chest in one day possible.

Gem costs

@Dorkus

Here is a small chart of when wanted mission skip cost decreases are for <10 gems:

5:40- 9

5:05-8

4:29-7

3:53-6

3:17-5

2:41 -4

2:05-3

1:29-2

0:53- 1

Pin codes

@Gryphonknight

@Gryphonknight

I use pins to remind me

Example

On one of my family’s accounts, when they clear all important quests/ events, they equip the sunglasses pin

When they are waiting on WE, for an important quest/ event, they unequip the pin
