Should a noob get involved with the Winter event?

[whizzyrich]

Hi everyone,

Everyone on the forum has been so helpful so far, I thought I'd ask if the Winter event is at all of interest to a noob such as myself.

I'm a lvl 30 mage who is still learning the ropes and for the most part running solo. I tried joining a guild but got lost in all of the verbiage and advanced discussions so I left.

I took a quick look at the winter event and noticed that there is an energy toll which my guess means spending gold or real money to participate, but I am not sure.

So my question is: should I bother?

Thanks in advance for the advice.

You get 3 free energy balls to use; each one gets used up as u run the map once. Every 8 hours you'll get a new one; so it is a good idea to use your energy when you get them! Don't worry about leaderboards, tiers etc., if you're a new player you should focus on learning how to play events and having a good time in general.

Thx guys!

Yeah like others hav said use your energy. This is the best time to make gold. When you don't have energy farm essences and sell gems.

Also if you have a leprechaun amulet farm Locked and sell them.

Thx Wutzgood!

Event runs for a month so youll have plenty of time to hit plat teir and cash in

Also, you can farm energy essences. Once you get 3 of these, you craft an energy kit. Just run some maps and find some. Participate with some guildies, it'll be fun

I tried it out. Much to difficult for my lvl 30 mage. I'll just go back to the regular maps. It's pretty much the same only the regular maps allow me to progress. Thx for the help guys and good luck to all with the event!

You should focus on Gold tier, every reward on gold tier are worth it to sell, so don't forget to farm energy essences and gold.

In two words?


I guess.

Definition noob for me is ppl who's too worry about kdr during the run (too affraid to die) and ppl didn't do anything in run. So u are not noob just newbie

Just farm the chests. You'll profit more from it. And if you can then shoot for gold tier

This is a really good time to farm and level as well. I would suggest doing wt3 or kt3 (if you find the 4th level overwhelming) so u can level and farm essences at the same time. Craft your energy essences and use them to progress in event maps. Once you have acquired enough event tokens to buy the recipe for tarlok gems, you can farm for ingredients in the tombs and sell these for profit. In the course of a month-long event of using your free energy and crafting some, I'm sure you'll at least reach gold tier and earn yourself a new pet egg which you can use or sell

Hi again guys,

Just to paint a picture of what it was like running the Winter event - does anyone recall the Foreman vs. Frazier fight? ☺

Truthfully, I would rather do something else than watch my toon flat on its back for 4 minutes out of a 8 minute fight. The other 4 minutes I'm running back to the fight. ☺

Your level is one that is very difficult from a mob scaling perspective - hard to find a happy medium for scaling difficulty between easy runs for top geared twinks and impossible ones for the average geared players. Good luck.

Yes, this is pretty much the situation. Right now I am just gathering gold to purchase pets. Have wrath, colton, and ethyl. Figure I might add Orion to the mix. Leveling up is not that important to me right now unless I am missing something.

Thx for the help!

Im gonna take a BRIEF moment to advertise my guild, we never talk about serious and complicated stuff XD
And, we usually run with everyone Who asks ^^

I got platinum tier last event without spending a penny. I farmed energy as others told. This event I'm not so enthusiasmated since it's just recicled. Nothing new.. But that gold tier pet is AWESOME so go for it. If you want an op pet, that's ur pet, if ur new and you want some gold, sell that pet. I don't know which is his arcane ability but it's happiness looks great. Go for it

Thanks for the helpful reply.

I tried again a couple of times this morning to clear a single map. Everyone in my party just gave up both times leaving me facing certain doom. Made me think that the devs have another market segment in mind for their own brand of gold farming. ☺ The not welcome mat is definitely out there and I would have to be blind to not see it. ☺

Anyway it just send pretty pointless for someone as squishy as myself. At least I can farm some reasonable stuff on regular maps.
