I wish those 3-6 nominal chest players knew about your experience so they would do their fair share of effort for the final grand prize that they're getting at other players expense!
Because this game likes to use a lot of food references lately...
They only get the group rewards for prob Gateway section then. They don't get the group prizes for all the
purple thingies the juice bar fills past where they stopped. Spire group rewards aren't dished out like Tourney where minimal entrance fee grants you the entire group reward buffet.
To me, the Spire is like being able to use all parts of the cow. Some prizes, like
, are the filet mignon, tender and delicious on their own. Other prizes, like supply windfalls, are a bit tougher cuts, but cooks down nicely with a slow steady fire, like a BBQ brisket. Then you have the Portal Profits, which you don't really want, so you have to be creative and make into questionably palatable dishes like sweetbread, which is neither sweet nor bread. But hey, there are starving people in the world, and you're not one of them! Have to learn how to make use of everything in case of a zombie apocalypse, which I think is why most people here are in-case-of-emergency-break-glass type of hoarders.
