Discussion Elvarian Games

With just pop and culture and one produced resource, this building is no better than a glorified daily prize. A grand prize building should give more.

It depends a lot on which prize you like to get.
there for example is no other event building that gives valorians.
Valorian valor(ch18) gives 340 per 18 hours which is 453 per 24h on 9 squares
triumph of tides gives 2700 in 24h on 16 sq.

2700/453= 5.96 valorian valors worth of production. thats a lot of saved squares for those that have / like those buildings.

Its about a 1.5-3H booster of valorians depending on your setup per day. it's not bad, if you like that unit.

Anyone have the chest list? I spun a few times but I keep getting the same ones.

I am surprised @Jackluyt has not already posted one. The costs for them are 19, 21, 28, 30, 41, 51, 58, 77, and 78, I think? They got rid of the 89 from the last event and replaced it with the 21. So instead of 3 that give 1, 3 that give 2, and 3 that give 3, it is now 4 that give 1, 3 for 2, and 2 for 3.

Spoiler: chests

 

[Enevhar Aldarion]

Cool, I remembered all the amounts correctly.

Now I am wondering why they shifted it from 3 beacons each for 1, 2, and 3, to 4, 3, and 2? I think that may be why I feel I am further along this time, than in the last event. Opening a lot of 19 and 21-cost beacons does make it cheaper.

Thanks @Karvest
21=17.4 Best for artifacts
19=19
51=20
41=20.5
77= 21.7
28= 22
78= 23
58=23.6
30=25.6 worst

Edit:
I'd actually skip 77 and go for 28: small difference, less RNG dependant and more chances at small better boxes
I might pick 41 over 51 too for the same reason... and actually 58 over 78.
So, Soggy's picks:

21
19
41
51
28
58
77
78
30

The one thing to watch for is getting stuck with 30, 58, and 78 as your choices. I have seen that a few times and got zero currency back each time.

 

[SoggyShorts]

Ew. I guess I'd just go for what's actually in the box in that case

Switchable building is nice, but switchable between two of the same resources doesn't seem usefull to me:

 

[Lovec Krys]

@Droopy
It's supposed to be T5 & Seeds. You're just too low chapter to see it (therefore the same production for low chapter).

Yeah, but they COULD make it boost+1 and boost +2 or something else that would be useful.

 

[palmira]

The building is fantastic, at level 8 it produces more seeds than the amuni ships, more than the double culture and a considerable population. So, I am quite happy indeed with my tide building

 

[CrazyWizard]

Yeah, but they COULD make it boost+1 and boost +2 or something else that would be useful.

I am suprised it's T2 at the dwaves chapter, normally seeds/mana always reverts to t3, unless you are chapter 3 or so then it's t2 and chapter 1 is t1 or so.

 

[Jammin]

Other Evolution Buildings produce 3-4 different elements and here you can choose one of four! Is that supposed to be a joke !?

 

[Lovec Krys]

@Jammin No, you can choose which one to generate. And that is usefull if you want just one resource.
Just compare for example seed production with the other evos

 

[Jammin]

It's nice that you can choose what you need right now, but at the end of the day it's an Evo that has a production.
If I take the Vallorians, compare Triumph of the Tides to Witch's Hut.
When I take goods, compare Triumph of the Tides to Queen Fairy's Retreat.
If only the seeds stand out in this evolution building, why use the switchable option if the other products are out of proportion?

 

[aliceFalling]

i know it's not vital but 'jokey' should be 'jockey' in the 63rd message ... unless we're all batman fans

 

[Enevhar Aldarion]

Two more grand prizes to go and I will have completed the evolving building. I figure I will get about 120-125 more currency per day over the next seven days, between quest, free 35, and spawns. That is going to be tight to get 40 more points from about 850 currency, especially if I have a dry spell for the 19, 21, and 41-cost rings.

 

[DeepTerminal]

I really hope they repeat Manta Ray towards the end. Players who don't have Burning Pools can really benefit from it. Even Burning Pool has slightly lower yield compared to Manta Ray until Ch. 18.

 

[Enevhar Aldarion]

I have never seen a returning building get a second appearance. That only seems to happen with brand new buildings.
