[Master Discussion] 🧭 Path of Giants (PoG) -- General Information & Discussion

[Mikal]

Anyone know where/if they are going to work the new Acenssion Shards into the line-up?

[Tellybelly]

Just finished path of giants and the mega and free giants chest was seriously downgraded to trash???!!! What’s going on!

[Elayanith]

You were lucky with chests you got before!?
Welcome in my world.

[sleepyhead]

At least we got Alliance Quest and Goblin Village - both of which I assume will count towards the 30 quest stages !

[notyou87]

Plus shiloh desert. Im on 15 now. Will be happy when AQ arrives

[sleepyhead]

and add in the twice-a-week emblem quests too

[Tellybelly]

Yes, I’ve gotten alpha aethers, 4* ascension materials, numerous emblems. It’s now like the POV loot, so no incentive to complete any extra challenges after you’re done. If someone gets something else please let me know lol.

[Elayanith]

Hey that is RNG, only that compared to me you already got the good stuff and now have to wait!

@Elayanith

Yeah, I pretty much consider all the chests (PoV and PoG) to be 99%+ trash. I tend to chase them out of a sense of completionism, and the PoG chests are slightly less trash than the PoV ones (which is an incredibly low bar to clear), but my experience has been that expecting a random PoG chest to be even a monster chest or raid chest is kinda false hope.

I’d have to spreadsheet it to be sure, but I’m pretty sure that Mystic Vision has accrued more alphas, 4* mats, and emblems for me over the same time than PoV or PoG chests (possibly combined).

yeah, I don’t particularly care about PoV chests.

for PoG chests, I mainly get as many as possible just for the aether crystals. they do add up.

Another elemental farming guide is added to the OP, which is created by @birksg

[BobTheSnark]

Thanks for this! I saw that Zartanis has been including a condensed version on his calendar-accompanying infographic, but it’s nice to have a further reference that also indicates how good each stage is (on average) — some PoG tasks just don’t have good stages where even 10 of one color is a sure thing, or even likely.

[PlayForFun]

Thx @birksg
I have update your guide with this in the OP.

[BobTheSnark]

Excellent to see and thank you!

[notyou87]

I have a feeling with today being rush attack war, we will get the weekly challenge for “defeat 25 heroes in tournaments”, lets see if my prediction is correct in 5 minutes

[sleepyhead]

Happily it’s not… instead we have the Summon/train an epic hero again

[notyou87]

glad it’s not too, and my HA should release me a 4* sometime today

[PlayForFun]

Obtain Epic Hero is back.
I could finish it with getting 3 heroes out of TC20, and first was a Legendary (Lianna)
