Equipment going up up and up.
Only two crusaders left with common gear. Leerion and Snickette,
And 24 crusaders who got at least 1 uncommon gear on them

Hopefully i will be able to upgrade Alan, the 92% i currently have in brother Stilzkin missions is bothering me. Well maybe we get a second angel as well when Alans Event comes around.

Edit: one completed Stilzkin Mission later, Alan now got his first Rare item and Robbie got rid of his uncommon and now got at least rare in all slots, 23 crusaders with uncommon gear left.

All recipe missions on cooldown as well today, felt pretty boring. Only a small buff + EP missions today for me. At least i got "more random Encounter III" done and am on my way to finish "invisible cloak III", still 16 more Objectives open after that, but some of them i will not be tackle till tier 4 talents arrive i guess (talking to you darn Fox!).

Just got Katie's Bow upgraded from uc to rare from a recipe mission. Should be getting a c/uc mission in just under 2 hours, and hoping very much that in 2h18m I get 2 new epic recipes!

edit: success! Got Halfy's Headdress which is already rare, but because she is useful for missions, I might craft it to make her 1.5 epic. Also got Gloria's Book, and might craft it, because I've used her in several missions as well, and 2.5 epics would be nice for her. I'll probably wait until I have a mission that needs one of them, before deciding if I really want to spend my epic material on them.

edit2: glad I didn't craft the Ilsa Amulet when I got it, I just got it from a jc Still haven't got a single catalyst this week, though

Nice, guess you will be getting the catalyst mission soon, although with the different durations after a while everyone will end up spread out - I just got mine, is the 2 catalyst version this time (100%, seems to be relatively easy to 100% all variants of these missions), which is decent enough - effectively one and half legendaries gained for this week from that.

I think I will run down my LC supply despite probably only getting 2-3 this week - I have 16 now, and think a stock of 6-8 is probably "enough" to ensure you can always do 2 legendaries per week as you seem to get about half of what you need to sustain 2/week from the missions, so that many in hand would cover nearly a month of bad luck in getting LCs from JCs/event chests (and while events are running you can use warps to try to get more if really running low). I mean each time you get the 3 LC mission it virtually sustains 2 legendaries that week alone (not quite because the missions recycle a bit slower than weekly, particularly as I think the 3 LC takes nearly 2 days).

I also have a 2 epic (92%) and 2 rare (92%) finishing around the same time late this evening, so another couple of chances to get an extra epic on Ilsa (and well, not like there aren't plenty of others that could do with upgrades, but she is the main gap with one 1 epic/legendary but being the crux of the formation nowadays).

Fox 3...yeah - I mean a completely stacked formation fully of triple legendaries I could see being possible to do all the 850s in Mugwarts and even RP2, and maybe some with significantly less, but Fox basically invalidates all advances made from legendary/crafting (apart from crafting epic recipes and the boost to Well Equipped/Swap Day which maybe still applies despite his debuffs), so that one presumably remains impossible until tier 4 talents (which then probably introduces a Fox 4 mission that is impossible with only tier 4 talents so there is at least one mission left to do before tier 5 appears in the distant future)

Down to 1 common (Squiggles) and 15 uncommons (4 of which are paired, so 13 crusaders with uncommons.

I get the feeling the adjustment they talked about for "useful recipes rather than unneeded ones" in the formula is probably a reasonably sized effect, because for example of the 54 (I think) crusaders without common/uncommons I had 6 or 7 with common at the start of crafting, they all have got their recipes already (Squiggles can't for another week of course), with only 13 Up to Speeds run at this point (the last was Grokloks, who needed his tooth upgrade) - so consider Groklok was a 1 in 42 shot, and whoever was before that it was about 2 in 43 or 2 in 44 odds of getting either of theirs - that suggests either I have been very lucky, or there is a strong bias to usefulness in that recipe mission at least (or somewhere in between the two).

Let's see rares - 13/14 were useful, 12/13 were duplicates, where I started with I think about 194 rare or better, and about 26 were uncommon or common - so I should expect about 3 or 4 out of 27 successful rare missions to be useful if it was purely random.

Edit: And the pattern seems to stay for all levels - 8 epic recipes, zero duplicates so far, and I started about 50/50 epic and non-epic.

Question about legendary for panda.
Satin wrapped golden clovers - increase gold when formation isnt under attack. So how does this work ? The bonus is disaper when im under attack, what about when i upgrade crusaders and im not under attack anymore ? Shuldnt it be back again ? Now its not. Its lost till reset, the one with nate, not close and start the game.

edit:
it looks like the bonus was back once but its gone again
its buggy ?

edit II:
after i put panda on bench and used other crusaders to use storm rider and panda back in team the bonus is back

edit III:
and i faild 83% and 88% missions in a row (in 2 hours time stamp), i dont believe in what they say now, its simply not possible

edit IV: seems that panda bonus works now properly
(scrap that, it does not)
so i guess edit V: i need to remove and insert panda in team, after i was attacked, to get bonus back
almost sure it shuldnt be this way

We're looking into what causes Panda's ability to need a reload of the game to turn back on after a wipe.

@Codename u wrote in Change Log that it is fixed ( if u mean the Crusade Profiteering this issure) i must say is it still broken.

Another rare recipe mission done, another Crusader upgraded successfully (Sally now is rare/rare/epic) 22 crusaders with uncommon gear left, 25 uncommon items overall.
Would be sweet to get an Orc tripple Epic or to get Alan at least rare/rare/rare.

Recipe missions truly seem to hard focus on crusaders that need better equipment.

[js51472]

I guess it was to be expected, but I finally failed another recipe mission. 91% chance for two rares.

edit: decided to craft a Gloria epic for an amazing boost in % on my 1 epic recipe mission, from 97-98%! :D

Yeah, another four today (two of each) succeeded - second epic on Billy, epic unused for Henry (he has 2/3 epics in waiting now), rare upgrade for Draco (cool if he ever gets used again), and for Jack (boosting Cry for Help which is nice). Seems like everyone will be at minimum triple rares by Easter if it continues like this.

Interestingly only a few hours later I already have another single rare mission pop (and up to speed although I think that is on it's own rather than part of the rare/epic mission cycle), which seems a bit quick compared to how they normally seem to recycle, but I'm not complaining.

That happened to me two or three times. I think there are separate pools for the single / double rare recipe missions.

Edit: formatting

[Ossi]

Well now Momma Kaine and RoboTurkey got one Epic each i have to take another combo into consideration. It`s getting more complicated by the day.

Next week i probably gonna upgrade one Legendary on Siri to try and get ready for Video Game of thrones. Sadly brogon got no epic, reginal does not have the Epic for his buff. I went for Littlefoot and not Thunderking for my stormrider buff. Meh i don`t know.

I think i just gonna start Cursed treasure III, this should not be a problem for me hopefully. 16 Objectives overall left for me, two of those beeing Fox Only II & III which i really don`t want to start. Beside those Teachers pet III seems like terribly hard as well for now.

Well better gear every weak. time will tell.

Just got the c/uc gear for Wendy, which was the last one I needed. Now if I could just remember to not send my good mission crusaders on those missions.

It's been a bad week for catalysts, for me. Only got the mission for 1, and got one more from a jc, only because I did objectives to be able to buy an extra 6 jc's this week.

edit: my magnify + storm rider just gave me a 12900% boost, instead of the usual 1400% :O

Got 2 from the mission and 1 from a random jeweled chest so far this week (no objectives done), I think that is more or less what I expect from "off" weeks on average. Got Rocky's hair from a mission (didn't craft it) and a few random rares that have been crafted but aren't very important, already finished with useful c/uc (until Squiggles is "old" enough to qualify)

Of course I did get this from a random jeweled as well just now:

I am jealous :( My poor Shadow Queen has 0 epics still.

Just got a dupe epic book for Eiralon

[NomiSaltium]

Speaking of Shadow Queen, I don't have her yet, though I plan on getting her very soon, as well as Greyskull. I'm at about 82.5k idols. I can get to 1e134 DPS just fine in RP2's freeplay with only 9 crusaders, so I think I can beat It's Getting Dark now, mostly because all 5 legendaries I crafted will be very useful there.

Edit: I decided to start the It's Getting Dark objective. I'll see how that goes.
