new spire rewards

[TimeMachine]

Since I've recognized that some of humans and elves who are only playing on Live-Servers seem to have a big intrest in the new rewards in spire, I decided to screenshot some of them and to post them here in this thread.
Unfortunately I had almost reached the Laboratory before the current spire was changed.
Anyway, I've already won some Eldian Sapphire

which can, as far as I know at the moment, only be used to purchase premium culture buildings.

Here is one example to check the conversion rate:

Looks like Eldarian Sapphire is much more valuable than diamonds are at least at the builder's hut.

I've recognized some new tomes in spire too, but unfortunately I didn't yet succed in winning one of them, that's why I would appreciate it very much if anyone would ad a screenshot of the content of the new tomes that can be won in spire.
I will do by myself as soon as I win one.

Tome of Spirit Flowers

Spoiler

I've heard that this tome is including those small 1x1 flowers of various kinds, but I haven't seen the selection yet.

Common Tome of Threefold Virtues

Spoiler

So curious about the content of this tome, if anyone should have already won that tome, I would be thankful for a screenshot of it's content.

Tome of the Abundant (screenshot is showing the boss chest on top of spire)

Common Tome of Threefold Virtues

It's 4x 5% Vitality Surge and 2x 1h of time boost.

While having won my very first new Tome, I was told that all the tomes, including the new ones, can be looked up @iDavis.

I am going to add the content of the other two tomes in this thread now by screenshoting.

It is a really long list of new tomes! More than I've expected!

Even the smallest spire chests that appear randomly have been changed! Please note that Platinum is only included because of having fed Glido.

While climbing up the spire to the top I experienced that there are different kinds of Tomes of Threefold Virtues.
I've corrected it now, the one above was a "Common" one, so here we go with the Rare Tome of Threefold Virtues:

Spoiler

It is 2x 25% Vitality Surge or 4x 2h time boost

I think it is a good idea to raise the chance of winning Spectral Stones while lowering the possibility of winning diamonds.
Maybe one will not be getting "rich" anymore by playing the spire but Inno seems to want us still being able to make it to the top.

Plus these Spectral Stones will make it easier for those who are not fighting, to to catch up with them "fighters" without investing too much diamonds, I guess.

For now, this should be the last one of my sevenfold double post.

An example for what one is winning in the new boss chest. Just to remind you again, this is what the chances look like.

I am going to finish it right now - This is what I got:

Please note again that Platinum is only collected by feeding Glido.

If Inno wants to make us a bit less unhappy, they should improve the premium buildings. Now they are about equal to what can be won in the events, so why spend diamonds on them? I would like an incentive to buy them as some of them are pretty and now just a waste of the work of the art department.

If Inno wants to make us a bit less unhappy, they should improve the premium buildings.

Maybe they will give us some additional "new" premium culture buildings at least those that will "maybe" be released with the upcoming new chapter.

Since Eldian Sapphire has arrived one doesn't need to spend diamonds on those buildings when having looted enough Eldarian Sapphire.
Since the only way to spend Eldian Sapphire is to buy premium culture buildings, I will I'll pick myself a few targets I guess.

for now you can prefer to buy premium culture from starting chapters (it's cheaper) and immediately sale it for RRs.

I've been wondering what the price for 1RR would be (in Eldarrian Sapphires).

 

[Karvest]

It's variable from 9 up to 93.(3)
depends on which building you will use.

Just collected spire fellowship rewards, spire was filled up to silver.

Spoiler

Seems like I've been still rewarded with the "old" rewards, which I of course accept! No problem for a time traveller!

 

[TimeMachine]

Just made my way to the High Halls again. Luckily I've won 5 RRs there.

But I really experience the impact of the reduction of time boosters. I even won a Dwarven Armorer, which motivated me to climb higher in spire back in the days but with the rewards spire seems to better be played in several rounds, because there are simply too few time boosters in game.

time boosters before climbing up to High Halls:

time boosters after having climbed up to High Halls:

Spoiler

Normally I would place the Dwarven Armorer now and maybe boost some troops.
With the new spire rewards the Dwarven Armorer stays in inventory and I am not going to waste the few time boosters I've won to open the gate, just to probably get stuck at the next gate.

For those very few humans and elves who liked climbing up the spire fast - only diamonds will be able to to the job time boosters did before and with a very big reduction of diamonds that could be won in spire - this of course should lead to money spending or, in my case, to logging out directly after having reached High Halls!

Please remember that some "fellowships" setting a high score very early can motivate lots of other fellowships to follow them.
This "former" motivating aspect seems to get lost step by step now, until humans and elves who still have large amounts of boosters in inventory, have spent them all.

To me regarding the future of Elvenar it seems pretty obvious that wonder and spire changes were mostly made to starve the "rest" of the established playerbase.

The good thing about new players is that they will not know or as well will be mostly not interested how the game was like before their arrival,
especially when they only know Discord to gain informations about Elvenar, isn't it?

Good job Inno! I really cannot see that by these changes anything is getting better in Elvenar.
The main impact, will in my suggestion only be less game activity and less goods on the market, which especially on beta seemed to be very empty the last few months.

Plus those that don't like the tournament very much are now able to gain a few RRs in spire to maybe skip the tournament.
Just my suggestion, but I see a lot of fellowships running into "problems" of various kinds through this changes.

The upcoming spire on live servers seems to be having already implemented the new rewards and changes.

Funny that there is still no ingame message on DE, but on US I've just screenshoted this:

 

[Dorfl the Clay]

The spire update will take place in two stages: next sunday will start with the old rewards, starting monday the new ones will be implemented

It's 4x 5% Vitality Surge and 2x 1h of time boost.

Yes, I have collected several of these. Pretty poor reward actually. And a low spellfrag worth in case of disenchanting.

 

[TimeMachine]

Although I seemed to have missed the according announcement here on beta forum, the latest change in spire fellowship rewards has already arrived on beta.
