I tried discrediting this report thinking that they merely did POB without marks bonus, but alarmingly, it is now being reported by many of my clanmates today and multiple shadows outside our clan.
We just turned shadows today after a 7 week reign - Many of my clanmates are already done with 20/20 weekly goals, POB 100, contracts, 3 shadow invites and so on… I enabled marks bonus as early as 3:15 am this morning as soon as we became shadow to ensure no one will miss the mark bonus buff.
They are expecting reaching the maximum possible shadow rank today of Blade IV with 895 marks however, some are only Blade III and 1500+ points short, some Blade IV but 500 points short - despite completing all possible sources of marks for the day including maxing out the weekly mark sources/pob/3 shadows invite/contracts etc.
I hope this could be look into. thank you.
Assuming the 10% contribution marks bonus thing…
Day 1 completion of POB100 (26400 points) gets you to Blade II with 25/2700 points.
Blade ranks need 2700 points each.
Phantom ranks need 2950 points each.
On day 1, Shadows can obtain…
- 55 points for recruiting an Adventurer into the Shadows. 3 Adventurers. 165 points.
- 275 per blessing received in Assembly. 4 blessings. 1100 points.
- 770 points for first three contracts of the week. 2310 points.
- 220 points per weekly Shadow task. 20 tasks. 4400 points.
- 220 points for opening 10 vault chests.
- 220 points for opening 20 vault chests.
- 220 points for opening 40 vault chests.
On Day 1, that’s a total earnable (after POB100) of…
165 + 1100 + 2310 + 4400 + 220 + 220 + 220 = 8635 shadow points.
So, after POB100 you’re at Blade II at 25/2700 points.
2675 points gets you to Blade III, with (8635-2675) = 5960 points
2700 points gets you to Blade IV with (5960-2700) = 3260 points
2950 points gets you to Phantom I with (3260-2950) = 310 points
If they actually did everything, they should be Phantom I with 310/2950.
If you have people missing 1500+ points, that sounds like they forgot to do Assembly, or they didn’t collect all three of the 770 point chests from the Innkeeper.
