Since we are not getting any Star Coins, is there any way to get those items changed over to either Gems or something else that we are currently using so we can still grab Assassins & the other ones???
Quite a few of the items in EPIC section require Star Coins
I'd like an answer to this problem too. Ever since the "Rug" was pulled out from under us for getting star coins at level 50 when the level cap got boosted to level 75, the only way to get star coins I've seen is to kill leader camps on the new southern islands.. Very expensive on the old troop types, and what star coins earned are needed to help clear more camps, particularly the ones with first strike high damage enemy troops that U can only chip away at with lots of cavalry. Anything else used just gets toasted before they can cause even a little damage to those 500 hit points each Sword Masters.
A choice of selecting experience points or star coins as a reward would be one solution. Another would be adventures that exclusively provide star coins. "They're" missing a great way to boost revenue by not providing an option to buy star coins with gems too.
Star coins are still dispersed. You get them from Panda mini quest, Coin mini quest, and a few other places such as the Crisis Quest we just completed. While you don't get them in the quantity that they were issued before I've been able to keep up a decent supply of them.
I only hit 50 a couple of weeks before the level cap increase so all of my star coins came to me primarily after that event.
I found getting the Evil Queen completed through the Excelsior yielded a decent turnout...though that's not a grand plan nor a sustainable one either. Then again, look forward to L75 when the XP to SC conversion has been nerved from 10:1 to 100:1 haha
L70 and getting that Ship, or rather completing within the time limit is a sustainable source though...if you are up for the tasks that is...some are a massive slap in the face.
Ok, thanks, but how do I get a steady supply of those mini quests? They aren't available in the Excelsior, or shop. Trading for them sounds time consuming, and expensive, so a better option would be preferred. I just hit level 50 too, so the other options given after your posting aren't yet available to me.Quote:

run Fairy Tales or 1st / 2nd / 3rd Thief, they drop in the loot
~20% VLT, not sure maybe 50% CLT?, 80% HLT/SLT, 100% BLT / 1st / 2nd / 3rd
Given that you've just discovered that those minis aren't tradeable I suspect that those adventures are going to be out of your reach for a while.
Probably not going to be what you want to hear, but I suggest you focus on growing your economy and leveling for a while. This is a long haul situation; those things will get to be within reach eventually.
Thanks for the info. I already suspected I'd need to run thief quests, but until I can have elite troops, they're not an option. It's expensive enough to do the Valiant little Taylor, but it's still my best source for exp. points. I haven't done one since reaching level 50, but I know it so well, that I've gotten it down to using the best routes, and tactics. I'll retry one after I rebuild my troops.. It was very expensive clearing most of the new Islands south of my home zone, but I now have lots of extra room, more, and better iron deposits, as well as one more richer gold deposit
Run little Tailor. Do longest adventure search you can and get VLT and do them. once you hit 56 you can start the AliBabas. Its what the rest of us didQuote:

You'll be very happy with the progress once you can run Wood Cutter. You can even dabble in them at level 55 if you don't mind the heavier losses. They seemed intimidating to me at first, but the resources are pretty easy to come after the initial preparation.
I would recommend upgrading your Elite Barracks at least to level 4 or 5 while muddling though levels 54 and 55, once you hit 56, you can do Woodcutter fairly efficiently and will want the most upgraded barracks you can get, WC drops the thiefs, which you then do at 57 for the quests/star coins and all.
Storm Recovery drops star coins, all you need is resources and a little bit of time to farm coins.
Course, trading grout for a chance at star coins isn't exactly the most equitable trade.
