Current(ish) LoA Events
Tycoon! Single server, go for the gear and glory!
Tips for this Tycoon (general old stuff following)
1) Fully use HoCs- Make sure every day to get the enchancted ore. We will also have two days of overlap between the two events, trade in some cards for points if it means you can get the ore. If you have extra cards, consider buying blessed stones. There are half a dozen things that use them now and you can never every have enough. Angel tears are a little iffy, they're more expensive but also 200 points per set of 5 (so an extra 4000 tycoon points over both days)
2) Wheel of Luck - Slightly better odds for TYCOON points when doing the 10x normal wheel. However, the prizes for the turbo wheel are significantly better. If you can spin it, wait for when tycoon is up and go for the 10x turbo regardless of tycoon.
3) Djinni - lol, I'm sure your sick and tire of hearing about my love of this event, especially with tycoon. Keeping it brief, I always recommend getting any mounts and clothes you don't have as long as you can afford it. I know, I know, no tycoon points for them so be smart. However, keep in mind that the resources here do not come cheaper many of them count as tycoon points. You really need to buy everything that is at a 90% discount. If you don't need it now, you will with upgrades or can use it for smelting.
Consider buying the resources you need here for the future. If it's costing you 15k seraphs for the next rapture level or 9k bless stones then buying them at 40%+ off is the way to go. Some things will score you more tycoon points then others. Usually I'd say don't waste daric trying to lower prices, but for expensive items, go for it. 1k of bless stones (6k tycoon points) is 15k daric, spending 20-30 daric to drop that maybe another 10% is totally worth it.
4) Make sure you do the following Hot Events (beyond the every day ones): Mother's day (all three), upgrade heros, ES Conqueror, Temple of doom. If you have some diamonds, do alchemy (10 diamonds) and fishing soul (1 laser gets you daric & two jackpot spins, costs 100 diamonds), you might also do the Pisces Zodiac Pathfinder hot event for a cool 1,400 tycoon points a day.
So what is tycoon and how do I make it work for me?
Well there are two types of tycoon, single server and cross server. Unless y'all think you can beat Haveen who does 150k in points within hours of the x-server event starting, I suggest you focus on single server unless rewards for 200+ ranking are decent. Very, very briefly I'm going to hit each area of tycoon and explain where to get the stuff (if LH does it I'm not mentioning it, https://www.facebook.com/ProdigyS6/posts/531477756952644 give a point break down of everything, no mention of awakening stones but otherwise good) and sum it up points real fast.
First off, what gets you points?
Gold - 1 pt per 10k
Attempt to get 6m from Erebus, do all attacks on wyrm (in x-wyrm if it works), 10 diamonds on Alchemy is worth it, escort even if it's blue wyrms, toss some gold to friends in DA if possible, do at least the 1st x-server fight for the hot event, but you should do all 3. If you can, buy the gold seeds from the wheel, if you have 6 slots open, that probably about 2.5m every 15-18hours.
Soulstones - 2 pts per stone
Double up on raiders so you can do the hot event (temple of doom) every other day, gives you 700 stones w/o spending diamonds, make sure to check the voucher shop for deals
Awakening Stones - 3 pts per stone
Really only from smelting and hot events. If you get any smelting souls, save them for tycoon (wind/fire etc)
Angel Tears - 20 pts per tear
Voucher shop, blitzing (good time to use stam chests for gold and tears), cross shop 10 a day (20 if you burn royal marks too)
Blessed Stones - 6 pts per stone -
Voucher shop, temple of doom event (double over night for 40 more + ranking prizes for another 33)
Aegis Shards - 2 pts per shard
Just shops and Zodiac really. Hot events give a good amount but require diamonds
Seraph Stones - 6 pts per stone
Arena/voucher shops. Usually the Hero upgrade hot event. This is probably one of the best times to level heros. As an example, going from lv 15-18 would give you 850 seraph stones or 5100 tycoon points.
Runestones - 1 pt per rune
100% Double up over reset for the hot event (ES conqueror). Instead of 100 daily from the event, you get 750 (and you loose none)
This would be the time to sit through the tedium of ES and try to advance a few levels and down any elite battle you haven't. You get a significant reward in the mail for downing the elites the first time.
Refining stones - 1 pt per stone
Nothing but jackpot and events
Element crystals - 2 pts per crystal
Inferno of course, try to get S man if the event is in. If not decide if you'd rather solo and get all the treasure but a c/d rank or do it normally. Keep in mind, you might get more tycoon points for lower levels (i.e you get more for Inf 55 then 65 or 70), you can also get 30 daily from the arena shop
Gems - 1 pt per 5 gems
lol... really just by doing a hell of a lot of gemology. See the gemology guide if you need tips. Otherwise, especially if the other events are good, I'd recommend 10k or 20k a day.
Gem enchancement stones - 2 pts per stone
30 from the arena shop, mostly from doing and ranking in gemology. 20k gemology will get you 1200 stones another 50-125 for ranking from the previous day
Enchanted ore - 1 pts per ore technically, however you also get pts when you use the ore for enchant mats
(1per normal, 2 per advanced)
ES elite battles - remember you should always be doing the ones for advanced stones. you get 392 more points daily that way. (and 24 more stones you can buy).
I'm a free player, so I'm careful with diamonds, but sometimes you get the right combo of events and since we get more diamonds a month consider the following options:
Extra ES normal & elite battle attempts - An ES card (or 100 diamonds) for extra attempts would gain you get 600 more runestones for one and 1k more for a 2nd. Extra Elite ES battles cost 30 diamonds each. Especially if the hot event for elites is in, it might be worth 2-4 extra attempts.
Tidal pool
- basic - 100 diamonds a day and you get 250 synth scrolls a day, 200 daric, 2 wheel spins.
-with benefits - unlock the free bait benefit for either 199 diamonds (3 days) or 499 diamonds (10days). Then use the laser 3 times (another 100 each day) to get and additional 500 synth scrolls, 300 soulstones, 500 daric, 4 wheel cards
Alchemy - I admit if I can spare them I do the 10 diamonds a day here, but check out the event for the scaled rewards. When looking at tycoon points, remember that you get the gold from the alchemy draw on top of the hot event reward
Zodiac Pathfinder - 200 diamonds for 1,400 points
*Cues evil Laughter* Djinni is Back
Oh shush, you all know how much I like this event
Djninni 101:
1) If it's 90% off buy it. Doesn't matter what it is, you'll end up using it or smelting it for god's sake
2) Check out any clothes, mounts, angels, etc. You can see you much they will cost buy going to the caravan tab and doing a tiny bit of math.
This event (I think, it's late, I'm tired, and math is evil): Cerebus mount - 1500 daric, Azul wolf - 3000 daric, Iron Cockatrice 1600, Nain 3750
3) Decide if any of that would be good to have and if you'll have enough daric.
4) lol, figure out roughly how many Daric you will have:
151 from "Buy daric" (1 diamond, 150 vouchers) daily=750 total
700 from 10k gemology (400) & 20k gemology (800) daily, 50k is a heck of a nice prize at 2k daric = 16k total (use some to buy more gem cards for the next day, duh)
400 from loop quests=2000 total
200-500 from today's gift daily
800 from the devotion mother's day
Possibly more, and expect the Daric Hot event to be back
Once you get a rough idea, add in any you have from last time for the total. Remember that as you spend Daric, you hit rewards points which give you some back. So basically if you spend 5k, you get 4.1k back. That get's you up to 9.1k if you spend it all you're only 900 away from the next rank and an additional 4k back. I try to finish each djinni with 7-8k. Starting with around 8k means I only need to earn 2-3k to get to 20k. Which is perfect because that means I can spend 20k on lootz and get the new 8k reward for next time. It's a beautiful cycle.
fishing optional - 300 for laser 100, 600 for laser 3 times, 1000 for laser 5 times. Note: using laser more then twice requires extra tidal pool attempts. Use the benefit to save some diamonds if you're doing it. Oh... btw, you get lots of extra tycoon loot this way and 6 or 12 more wheel spins
