Yeah, Forgebowl is bound to be great fun

Yeah, Forgebowl is bound to be great fun

I'll be knocking out the quests but sitting on my "balls" until the final week when the PoH Upgrades are likely to be the Daily Special.

 

[DeletedUser104719]

Me too, Lady; lvl 7 PoH looks worth having

 

[Emberguard]

Yeah Lvl 7 is bound to be great. +3 FP's per day would be awesome

 

[LadyHecate]

If you've not seen it, xivarmy posted a great strategy analysis on the ForgeBowl feedback forum on Beta for obtaining the necessary six PoH Upgrades. Without Diamonds the average FoE player will typically get the two Upgrades from the quest line and two from TouchDowns. It'll take some strategic game play to get the last two from another TouchDown and/or Daily Specials.

 

[Emberguard]

Great, I'll look that up then

Thanks @LadyHecate for the ref, that's a really good analysis!

 

[Prinza the Hunter]

Forge Bowl is definitely my least favourite event so far - worse than the apple one.

The Pillar of Heroes is a great non-great building though.

 

[Emberguard]

Haven't gotten far enough in the beta version to fairly judge it, but we'll see whether or not it'll be worth it. If nothing else at least it'll be supplies and money

 

[LadyHecate]

Even a level 2 PoH grants 1FP, so most will get the FP/Medals/Goods boost from the mid-levels; it's getting it from level 5 to 7 that's the challenge which increases the FP/Medal/Goods haul.

 

[DeletedUser104719]

Right, and you get a SoK for 2nd touchdown; should get to level 5 PoH which is 2FP and roughly equal space with 2 SoK too. Like you say; lvl7 will require some luck / analysis!

 

[Emberguard]

yeah. It'll be easy to get multiple PoH's, but the problem is getting them to a decent lvl so they're npt taking too much space for the benefit

 

[LadyHecate]

It'll be easy to get multiple PoH's

Not true! You'll almost definitely have to spend Diamonds to get a second PoH from TouchDown rewards. Only the Upgrade appears as the Daily Special not the PoH itself.

 

[DeletedUser104719]

PoH lvl1 appeared as DS 3 times in Beta, according to wikia; no guarantee for live, but a pretty good indication

 

[DeletedUser]

I got two PoH on Beta.

 

[DeletedUser111866]

Someone said he went for specials and landed zero. I don't want to be like him, but...

 

[Emberguard]

Yeah I barely completed anything on beta and still got 2 PoH's simply because they're not only available through coolers but they give you one as a reward just for completing the quests

 

[DeletedUser111866]

they give you one as a reward just for completing the quests

It said two upgrades are available via quests, not one.

 

[DeletedUser]

No, he meant one PoH, the building itself, not the upgrade, I think.

Whoops
