For me it?s strange because it varies from MH to MH, or even at various times within an MH, whether I?m short on staff or sword tokens. And I still haven?t figured out why.Quote:

You do a Bronze Trade when you are close to max on Shield TokensQuote:

I've only gotten a monster trap once from adventuring that I can recall. But I am not doing a lot of higher level Adventures yet

Wait.. are you saying if you tie with first or second place that both tied players get the prize??
Any ties receive the same reward. So, in theory if all the players in a bracket tied for 1st place then every player in that bracket would receive the 1st place prizes.Quote:

I tried this once, back when LB was not tied with MH so it made no sense to go over 2300 points. I got 10 people on board, but 3 people either didn't read their walls or ignored the cooperation. They kept going even when 5 of us held 2300 steady for days. In the end the pact broke because of them.Quote:

It depends on how they got their points. Did they use boosts? Did they purchase an energy pack with points? Did they trade collections for points?Quote:

I think approx 70 points = 1 troll token (I usually managed to slay 3 blue boars with 70 hits or 50 energy). Now with only glimmer golems the tokens are so out of balance that 100 points or more will get 1 troll token (about 2.5 trolls or 75 energy).
It flips around for me too. Earlier on I had more sword than staff. Now I have more staff than sword. Not sure why it flipped there at all.Quote:

When I used to play DS, ties were commonplace in the LBs - I think 25 tied for 1st place is the most I've ever seen.
