I am closing in on my 10,000 alkashards and also very confused about what to do.
Iāve been running AL since the late January on levels 9 and 10, did not mind the gem cost but it so far took nearly 3000 gems and itās going to be about 1000 more to get to 10,000 alkashards. I did like to even out the distribution of 4* mats a bit, but for the extra mats, it only gave me one extra Tabard these two months. The unfarmable 3* are worthless to me at the point where I am, and this is likely situation of most who are far enough in the game to be able to run AL.
So after putting nearly 4000 gems and months of running, being able to pull a single 4*, and not even of my choice, is an insult. Other things that can the alkashards be turned into are plain laughable. 3x 3* mats, seriously? How about 1000 training manuals? Itās equally worthless. It goes without saying that AL needs a rework at some point, and SG is really shaming themselves for each day this is not being worked on. They could have as well add an option in the shop for the players to buy a bundle of nothing for 5$ and watch people pay moneys to get nothing.
Now, the silence suggests they are fine leaving it as it is. The inner believer inside me tries to convince me they realize itās plain wrong and will do something about it at some point. Now if they do, and for example I could get something much more valuable out of those 10,000 shards than today, will I ever get compensated for those that I already spend now? Or better keep onto them? How long can I hoard them and not get insane?
@Nexus1254, Level FOUR (4) of the Alchemy lab will give you a CHANCE at getting Grimoirre Dust from 2* Crafting Materials.
NOTE: You put in 20x 2* Crafting Ingredients and get out 1x 3* Ingredientā¦ not necessarily Dust but could be Hardwood Lumber, Fine Steel or Midnight Roots.
I personally think it is a mockery that I have to spend gems and also that amount to get materials is completely crazy to me they should change that it can not be that a building upgrade costs us gems. I would understand if we had a building that created gems and letās say it takes us a month to get the gems for the last level but if it is not something very unpleasant
This AL is not even worth leveling, not even worth researchingā¦
In fact, donāt even botther to touch it. Do al the leveling of all your building (even the recruit house) before even considering leveling the AL. I canāt believe the devloppers are not shamefull of that āupgradeāā¦
AL9 converts farmable 3* ascension materials into non-farmable 3* ascension materials. So AL9 is where you would have a chance of obtaining Fine Gloves. If they come, I suspect it would be at a steep cost (both time and gems) so I donāt recommend it.
The very damn reason I built this house of sorrow was to get rid of the surplus of Tomes of Tactic, and this is what it offers. God I am officially done with this building. Go steal from someone else.
