Checkmarks on seals?

[gwelty]

So I forged a seal and ended the cycle. I *think* it was a green, bronze seal.

Anyway, now there are four seals on the map: two green (bronze) seals and two blue (lead) seals.

Why is there a green checkmark at the bottom of the green seal popup, for both green seals, next to "Consequences: cycle duration permanently increased by 8"?

There is no such green checkmark for the blue seals.

Is it telling me that if I forge another green seal, that won't affect the cycle duration anymore, because I already forged a green seal? But if I forge a blue seal, that *will* affect the cycle duration?

I don't know what the green checkmark means.

The thing you think the green checkmark does is correct.

If you like the gameplay loop from the green seals, you can keep playing them. That one is 'done', so you can progress to the next one up the chain if you want, but you can also just do it again if you thought it was fun.

The last couple seals take a very long time to complete, so it's a legitimate choice to stick with shorter seal runs, particularly if you have limited gaming time and want to see the seal biome content vaguely soon after it gets implemented.

Since you completed the green one and now have +8 you can not get that bonus again. You can still get the other rewards for doing the green seal again, just the cycle will never get any longer if you keep doing green seals.

Next is the blue one, if you do that one the cycle will go up another +8. On the following game the green ones will no longer even be on the map. You will now only have blue, which will say 16 and a checkmark, and purple which is the next tier (veteran).

So the format is the game offers currently completed tier and the next tier.

Thanks, folks. So it's the "bonus" that's done, which means I have to proceed to a differently-colored seal to get an additional bonus.
