A bit of unasked-for advice about the Event mechanics:
The lower-value 'Requests' from the Dwarves are rarely the best choices - almost always, the best option is the Rare [or better] Requests with a useful chance to win one or ideally more (I've seen up to three offered as a single prize) of the Lucky Draws, which are this Event's [more complicated] version of winning back extra Event Currency from Chests [or, more probably, a Tier 5 or 6 board game piece - see image below]. As such, the 'Rare' or better-level Requests are almost always the best ones to choose
- BUT - once completed,
none of the Requests can be discarded, including the low-value ones, so you'll
have to accept them, and thus use up the board game pieces they're asking for, in order to get new Requests. [
ETA : Correction - This is NOT actually the case - please see separate post below - it's possible to discard a board piece in order to revert any 'completed' Request to a pre-complete state, so that the Request itself can then be discarded as well].
And while all of the above probably becomes obvious via common sense and practice with the Event, it may not be so immediately apparent that
while you're spawning new pieces from the Cups and/or merging lower-Tier pieces together, in order to fulfil your chosen Request, if the right combination of pieces happens, by chance, to appear on the board, ALL active Requests which ask for those pieces - whether you'd like to fulfil them or not -
will auto-complete, so you'll have to accept them (and use up the pieces they've asked for) in order to generate new Requests.
Therefore - it's important to manage the active pieces on the board carefully, with an eye on what your active Requests are asking for - with the best idea, if possible, being to immediately delete any Requests you know you won't want to fulfil, before they can 'use up' any pieces you're either trying to save and/or have yet to spawn or create via merging. And because the lower-value Requests (Common and Uncommon, usually) mainly ask for lower-to-mid-Tier pieces - which spawn more frequently from the Cups, and will also be created more frequently as you merge pieces - the chance of accidentally completing lower-value Requests is much higher than accidentally completing a higher-value Request - most of which ask for at least one Tier 5 piece and/or frequently a Tier 6 piece - which [Tier 6] can't be spawned and are acquired only via merging or from a Lucky Draw.
I hope this may be helpful info for some of us - I do like this Event's format, more than any other so far, in fact, but it does have its pitfalls... and on top of the fact that it operates, more or less, on the basis of RNG ^ RNG ^ RNG [? or more iterations of the same - I can see it's quite a few, though!], it's obviously going to be more difficult to formulate systems which can help to predict how best to earn the full Grand Prize Set.
Just as it happens, out of my four attempts so far at a Rare Request (I haven't seen any better ones yet), I've [wow!] actually won one Daily Prize already, purely by chance, but I'm not trying for Dailies in this Event because none of them really appeals to me personally. Furthermore, and although I'm no mathematician, it's fairly apparent even to me that even if one or more Dailies did appeal, the level of RNG involved in acquiring Daily Prizes would probably defeat me anyway, with my typically awful RNG luck. Even with my poor maths ability (although I do have a fair amount of experience of playing merge-type mobile games), it seems to me that it's going to be difficult for
anyone to [accurately] strategise to win Dailies, especially in multiples, considering the involvement of the randomly assigned Tasks, the variation in spawned pieces from Cups plus the number of lower-Tier merges required by higher-Tier pieces, the influence of the Lucky Draws, and so on... all of which is RNG-based
*.
And of course, being as RNG-favoured (?!) as I ever am, I've
also managed to win a whole 5% !! PP, from this selection - any
other of which I'd like:
... so that's definitely tempering my desire to rejoice, too soon, about my apparent good fortune in winning that Daily Prize as well...!
* PS : @Sir Derf : Even contemplating the RNG odds of THIS Event makes my brain melt .... so, without asking you to do it, is it even feasible...?!
