Patron Mechanic Questions: (and some positive feedback)

[thegrassyknoll]

1) If i buy a timegate piece from patron, or receive one as a 2-year present, Does the timegate piece countdown revert back to 5-6 day to find the next piece? Is the natural finding timegate piece clock separate?

2) Do Patron chests have the same pity timer as regular gold chests? (i.e.-Does every 10th chest guarantee a purple?)

3) The "into the Undermountain perk" that Mirt has. Does this qualify as anytime you are indoors and not obviously outside? Or do you literally have to be underground? I cant tell half the time if i am above ground or below ground. If i am on the first floor of an indoor house or in a tower, am i "underground"?

4) if i am playing as Mirt in Helm's Deep, do i get both sets of blessings(Helm's Deep blessings and Mirts perks ) during the given Mirt mission?

4) Can you receive Silver items from Patron chests?

5) Can you receive Silver items from regular gold chests for that matter?

6) Can you receive Silver items from event character gold chests?

The patron system is an excellent addition and helps to satisfy a lot of the feedback i have seen on this forum.

A few positives about Patrons i noticed:

a) More variants for all the players that wanted to replay, or play more of them.

b) Higher access to a means of somewhat equipping the 40-plus characters. Thus resulting in more experimentation and more varied formations, especially when all the level variants are thrown into this mix.----This my personal favorite thing about Patrons :)

c) More characters became useful again. And, more importantly, a broader range of characters are currently usable(until the next patch lol, couldn't resist). But character balance is a lot closer now overall.

d) More things to quest for and collect.

e) Provided a faster means of gaining favor. It never really seemed possible before to get the "collect e200 favor award" before. Still slightly ludicrus this achievement is, but at least overall favor progress (and game progress) can be made in a faster real-time sense.

e) More variety in gameplay due to all above points.

Good work game designers!

1) I don't know, but I don't see why the cooldown would be affected by a gift or purchasing it from the Patron store
2) Yes
3) I assume "underground" is in a cave, tunnel, dungeon, etc.
4) Yes
4) Yes
5) Yes
6) Yes

1) It's separate, I've gotten a time gate piece today by just playing, and then another one by opening the anniversary chest. And I bought one in the shop 3 days ago.

The Patron global perks are always active.

Sorry to necro this but I couldn't find an answer elsewhere, regarding 2., it's already been answered they have a pity timer but are they seperate or do they share the same pity timer? And I guess the same goes for even chests?

[Soul Reaver]

for 2) it's the same mechanism of PT that starts at 4, then resets to 10, but it's separate for every gold chest (except for supply one, which does not offer equipment)
you can read more about pity timers here: http://idlechampions.soulreaver.usermd.net/faq.html?id=4
and check your pity timer for every in-game chest type here: http://idlechampions.soulreaver.usermd.net/chests.html
