era challenges

Do you take pleasure in calling people stupid? The response to Jarpin I can understand, they were being antagonist and accusatory. I was neither of those things. I asked a genuine question and wanted a genuine answer. At no point did I claim that you can only get crystals from paying, the problem was this:

I’ve got Kleya at 24 and Vel at 23 having spent absolutely zero money or crystals

At this point, Darjelo claimed zero crystal spending whatsoever.

I have checked in with other players and it looks like I must have got a single 399 crystal pack of Era Level Currency. I don’t remember doing that, but with what you and others have pointed out it seems clear I must have got one (only one) of those packs. 

Still, I’m sure people who have fully engaged should get far enough for the t2 completion by the end of the event.

I hadn't seen his second message before posting the above one, as I was replying to his "Character quests" comment directed at me, otherwise I wouldn't have posted it. He remedied the misunderstanding, but I hadn't seen it. That's no reason to call me a honking goose. Now I've seen it and it's been cleared up.

You’re wrong. I’ve got the bonus crate twice and have no battle pass. 

If he had the battlepass, his characters would be higher than lvl 24 and he would have reached lvl50 halfway through the month. I know because I had the battlepasses in Anniversary Era. 

You're still stupid. 

Well you can't reach the bonus crat right now without a battle pass 😏 

He initially claimed he hadn't spent any crystals or money. Then he even got caught by claiming he'd gotten the currency from the Episode Trek crate. He couldn't have gotten the rewards from that crate without a Battle Pass. 

Holy hell, how is this still a misunderstanding that persists. 

You can get crystals without spending money. You can use the crystals to buy gamble packs. Gamble packs get you character shards. Having more character shards gets you Episode Points from character quests. Having a stash of crystals doesn't mean that the player spent money. Plenty of players manage to stash thousands of crystals F2P. 

A buncha silly geese in this thread honking when they know nothing. 

You're stupid. 

If DarjeloSalas put some crystals into the marquees, he will have collected some Episode Points from character quests which means, at this point, if he's completed the F2P daily feats, would put him at lvl50 of the episode and into bonus crates. 

As an experiment, I didn't buy this episode pass because I wanted to see for myself what the timeline is on reaching lvl50 of the track F2P. I have not spent crystals on marquees--I never spend crystals on gamble packs. My Kleia and Vel are only 3 stars. I am currently on lvl 48 of the free track. There are still 5 more daily quests in this episode. I could skip a couple of them and still complete the whole F2P track before the next episode begins. 

No need to only take my word for it. I have receipts. 

I said (though have subsequently cast doubt on this) that I hadn’t spent crystals / cash on Era Level Currency. Using crystals on shards for marquee units isn’t the same thing. 

Since the new marquee structure I’ve always used crystals so the units reach 5* on the final day of their event. I do this because I’ve got nothing else to spend them on. 

The ones gated behind shards, which you need crystals to get, something you said you hadn’t spent? I’m convinced both of us are telling the truth, but something definitely isn’t working out, because I’ve missed at most one daily, and that’s not enough to get me to max crate (at 46 at the moment)
