Bad Luck Protection (BLP)

Presentation

A system that protects the player against repeated misfortunes. Such systems exist in many places across the game, but the one discussed guarantees you a totem if you keep spending emeralds at the Altar of the Elements.

Principle

After a certain amount of emeralds spent on the altar, you have a guaranteed chance of getting a random totem. This blp threshold increases with the number of totems already obtained.

Now there are three cases to consider:

• When getting a fragment from artifact spheres at the altar, the blp threshold is increased by the next level cost

• When getting a fragment from emeralds at the altar, the blp threshold is reset to the next level

• When getting a fragment from totem spheres, the blp threshold is reset to the next level

Example: let's say you start the game and complete the 4,500 quest for the altar for your first fragment. Now your blp threshold is at 41,500 emeralds. Then you spend 10k of those, and this leaves 31,500 more.

• If you get a fragment from artifact spheres at the altar, the blp becomes 31,500 + 421,667 emeralds

• If you get a fragment from emeralds at the altar, the blp becomes 421,667 emeralds

• If you get a fragment from a totem sphere, the blp becomes 421,667 emeralds

Important consequences!

• Refrain from using your titan artifact spheres until you got the first two totems through emeralds

• After that use your titan artifact spheres BEFORE spending emeralds or opening a totem sphere

• Spend emeralds at the altar in one go, until you get a totem (through blp or chance)

Obtained Element

The element of the first two totems from the altar of the elements will be the one of your strongest titans, measured as the sum of their titan power. Next totems will have a random element.

This does not apply to fragments obtained through totem spheres.

Notes

Getting a totem sphere counts as getting a fragment, even before you open it and use the fragment. Similarly, getting a fragment increases the threshold even before you use it.

Also, at any moment you can go to "support > gameplay > totems" and see how many emeralds you must spend for the next blp threshold.
