OK. I realize that this has been discussed ad nauseum, but I STILL want to check that I'm correct in my thinking about The Spire:
--First of all, this is ONLY about the "thermometer" and it's purple "mercury". NOT about the chest prizes as your work your way up through the levels of the spire.
--There is a misconception (I think) by many people that, just like the tourneys, even if you only complete one 'tick' (NOT even a waypoint) on the 'thermometer' that you get all of the prizes that everyone else gets
--I believe that, as an individual, you get whatever prizes you've amassed through WAYPOINT (waypoints being the spots that carry prizes) completions for Waypoints that fall within the purple 'mercury'.
--So - you complete one Waypoint. You get only the prizes connected with that Waypoint. You complete 5 Waypoints, you get the cumulative prizes offered by all 5 Waypoints.
--The higher the more people go, the higher the level of the purple.
--We have one glorious player who consistently goes all the way to the top of the Spire - all by herself. None of the rest of us even come close. Am I correct in my thinking that she gets "gypped" out of the Waypoint prizes she's completed that do NOT fall within the purple?
--And, as far as FS-wide "prizes" - all they are, are ranking points and getting little metal "trophies'. Is this correct?
--I've just spouted all of this out to my FS in chat and now am scared to death that I gave out 'way wrong info. So, PLEASE correct me if anything above is wrong
Thanksalot in advance. satch
