Does anyone know when the board auto-shuffles will the magnifying glass and double reward reset as well or will they remain if I already have them? I wasn’t lucky with re-roll on Beta and have been waiting for the board to re-shuffle, so that I can use both features on a fresh board.

Whether its "do X Spire/Tourn enounters" or the fact there's only
X amount of total tasks. The biggest problem to a solution is ...
"abusability". Add in the fact that Inno, forces players to progress,
and you have a recipie where most ppl are not happy, most of the time.
Exactly how do you stop some players, with old accounts, spells up
the wazoo, and fully leveled AWs.... from completeing ALL the reg tasks
in <24 hrs..... while @ the same time making the event playable for a
CH 1-3 player.... its almost impossible.

Inno's tried unlim tasks, and we know that was horribly abusable, and
if you limit it to 3 tasks/day , then it takes 4 days just to have currency
to even play 1 full board, thus making day 1-3 forfit on prizes...
Lets say there was even enough tasks/keys to play just 1 board each day.
Thats 480++ GP pts , and 80-85 bldgs as prizes..... thats insane !!!!
Events are a big source, I'm guessing, of revenue.... pretty much nowadays
anything above 280 is really good luck, or $$$$$ to Inno.....

I'm not a fan of using a task list, but I do it because I don't scout, finish
provinces, or do reg encounters. I have to Sync up tasks with availability
of both Spire & Tourn encounters. I have to the "or" on other tasks like
scouting or provinces...... Its actually the only challange there is to me
in finishing ALL the tasks each event. I've learned to be patient on which
days I play, and budget my event currency.

Does this mean I don't want to play 1 board a day.... I sure as heck do.
I also want to be able to do a few tasks each day , not just 1 for 3 weeks,
but understand the only reason I cannot, is cause I went thru tasks faster
than the game kinda wants me to, and that there are only X amt of total
event currency possible..... So thats on me , not the Devs....

As long as tasks are abusable because they arent properly balanced per/CH
we'll never eliminate problems about how the structure of Events are. Almost
all other solutions are nightmares for the Devs, because you start to have to
implement like caps on "helpers" usage.

Just as the Suggestion page ask's for pros/cons, when us players do complain
about certain things, we have to also include concrete ways to solve things,
not just say we hate "this or that".

@Soleil Nightbloom ,
Mag Glass and 2x , once max'd remain so, untill used.
in every PObox event I've ever played in.... only reroll
resets with a new board.
( if max'd there is no wraparound, you aren't gaining any playing )

It appears that I and others in a similar situation had to be given something; I suspect that this is why the League prizes were enabled. Of course I got Bronze because I was short on EC.

No, everyone on Beta got the League rewards. I got the Silver rewards and I had zero issues with the event. Marindor posted there that it was an error/glitch and they were not supposed to be active and were sent out in error.

So I did not realize this until now. But I just scrolled through the prize list to see how many presents I would have to get to win a 2nd Boblin's building base. And there is NOT one being offered this time. 1 building and 9 artifacts are all that is available. As a player who typically does well enough in events to win the 2nd base I think this kind of bites. :( But on the upside, spending 45 keys for a reshuffle just became less painful. It is not like I need to save every last single key to maximize event progress anymore.

I always get the event email, but for some reason it didn’t show up in my inbox this time. It wasn’t in my inbox or spam folders. I ended up searching for it in the Search Bar in my email by typing “Elvenar”. Once I did that it came right up in my email. Hopefully, this helps you.

@Soleil Nightbloom, that worked for me as well. Thank you!

Appears to be a Gmail setting thing for me. It can be seen under the "Promotions" tab, which I ignore, but not the "Primary" tab. Now if I can just remember this the next go 'round. :D

@Hueanthar, I’m so glad that it worked for you! As mentioned before, I got the emails without fail every time in my inbox. For some reason this time it went somewhere else and had to put in a search, lol. Thanks for suggesting to check my settings :)

Have yall noticed that some of the daily pizes show up often on the boards? I already have the elven log center, goblin sleigh, Ghosts, and brewery, and I did before they were dailies, and they keep showing up.

While I understand a task like gain 20 relics, back in the day when
there wasn't a gazillion more things to appear in the relic's slot, ( was ok )
But now ..... you hit just a "kinda bad" RNG and it might take you
2-3 days to get 4 of them.... or you go to use a Sip-o-Clarity and
instead of 1-2, it takes you 5-6 just to get another relic's tile.....
So com'on, these "gain 16 or 20 relic" tasks are obscene, nowadays!!

While we're on the subject of obscene, if task 78 is correct.....
"do 9 encounters" with no "and/or" for tourn or spire encounters.
isn't that why theres an "and/or" in the 1st place, sheesh.......

You can also get relics from daily help, tournament, and world map provinces.

Btw, if you drag that newsletter email to the "Primary" tab, gmail will then pop up a prompt on the bottom left asking if you want to always move emails from same sender to "Primary" in the future. That should fix it. (browser version)
