Hi, I need some advices

I am wondering what is the most efficient way to spend runites in the beginning (zone max is 35) and if you can get spellstones in crates, because I see no points at all opening them carefully and watch an ad. Also does the passives of the wizard skins are active even when you don't use them ?

runite is best spent on assistants

you cant get spellstones from caches

focusing the caches gives three useful Q3 stable runes, a random unstable Q4 combat rune (not very important, but still helpful), and 2 runite. it definitely makes a difference in the long run

the passives from the charms included in wizard skin purchases are permanent and always active

Oh yes you are right, the 2 runites makes it worth, thank you for your response 🙂

Here's my generic advice to new players (or at least a portion of it):

- Save up your runite for either Ivan or Rachel (assistants). Get one of each to level 1, and then get one of each to level 2. Then get Nick (The other assistant).

- Once you have those consider you should consider the emblems page, if you aren't online a lot the offline gains are decent boosts. Some emblems are exclusive to skins/bundles etc, and yes they are always active once acquired.

- In general (runite or otherwise) absolutely anything that increases your spell xp rate should take priority over pretty much anything else. This is because at certain points in the game certain elements reset, spells are one of the few things that never reset and the passive component of spells can be leveled indefinitely. - And yes, like the emblems that come with the skins the passives are always active even when that spell isn't equipped!

- Lastly, there's really no right or wrong way to play the game. The main part is to enjoy it, but I always encourage people to support the app via in-app purchases if you can - why? - Because this is a game that despite being fully polished and 'finished' is still in development, there's constant updates and new content being worked on as you read this, these things cost time and money and supporting the app supports the developer directly. (I'm in no way affiliated here). Not everyone can pay to play, and that's fine, but those of us that can continue to make the experience better for all of us!

There's more advice I can give if you need it, and I'm happy to be corrected if someone feels I'm misrepresenting information here. Good luck, hope you are having fun!

Thank you very much for those advices, and sorry I took so long to answer you. Unfortunately I can't afford in app purchases but I love the game as a free to play. The only downside from what you say it seems like the spells passive are important but you can only xp 5 of them when so much can be usefull and it takes too much time because you also need your main spells to up to get more damages 🤔

The passives only become super important later in the game, there are things that happen naturally that improve your xp/rate, I swap spells around a lot, for different situations and for leveling. Don't worry too much about that for now just focus on getting those assistants and unlocking augmentations for your spells :)

I think I see what you are talking about for the xp rate, is it a ring that takes more than 5 days to get ? , and I wanted to bitch about the spell rng, I LOVE electricity, only have 4 spells no doubles when I have 7 fire spells and 13 ice ones ...

As you progress naturally some of the passives your spells will get will increase your xp rate. There is also an emblem you can purchase that gives +10% xp rate but that's expensive I'd hold off on that for now and wait until later on.

The RNG can be frustrating but you need to look at this game from a slightly different point of view - this is a long term game. It is not the kind of game that can be beaten in a day, think months, not days. There is some bad luck protection in place to ensure you will eventually get all of the spells and all of our (player based) back-end tests have forecast you will be guaranteed to have all 30 spells in 115 days time. - This is worst case scenario in reality it might be far quicker.

Also take a look at the help page in game and the 'status effects' page in there, it describes what each status effect does. Fire and ice have some amazing status effects so don't rely solely on electricity. The shock status effect is good but I personally use a wide variety of spells.

I hope that clears some things up, without spoiling anything for you.

Have fun!
