    What a Long, Strange and Wonderful Journey It's Been!

    Hey all!

    I finally finished the game! (Objectively speaking :P) Today marks the day I completed my last achievement in the game, that dreaded Patron of the Brotherhood 5. I have a total play time of

    This has been a wonderful game to play that I have played entirely free to play, so in the world of Microtransactions, it's so awesome to see that there are FTP games that can be played completely without the need for these. (I was tempted by the Anniversary and Lunar offer, but I made a deal with myself that I would stick to). The biggest thing to remember is play the long game, don't worry if you miss ranking a hero by a couple of DNA, you'll get them in a few weeks or a couple of months.

    To give a breakdown of what I have at the end,

    Ievelled all my Rank 5 Legendary and Epics to 50. Clearly Luciano and Ishak stayed at 49 for their awesome levelling bonus

    The heroes who didn't quite get to rank 5;

    Aleksei (4), Al Mualim (2), Altair (3), Perina (4), Ishak (4), Najama (4), Corvo (4), Maria (4), Murat (4)

    For the rank 5 gear;

    I crafted all the legendary items available, 2 of every blue weapon, 3 assassin blades, 1 of every green weapon, and 1 of every red (2 axes), and both Odyssey weapons
    I was able to craft 2 of every Red and Blue armor, 1 of every green.
    I crafted 2 Tank and AoE, 3 DPS and 3 of all blue trinkets and 1 of each of the green.

    This covered every helix challenge that would every come our way. I got pretty lucky getting rank 5 doing at least 15 loot missions a day, always making sure I did 25 on a Tuesday.

    And I understand peoples pain with Database credits, I ended with 199,620 and 1,423 DNA cubes!

    The one you are probably still wondering about is the Patron achievement, I did this by purchasing 6 coin items in the store (7 if you still have DNA to purchase) and then refreshed twice every day for around 5 months. With Helix Challenges and the dailies this is entirely maintable and you still build up credits for the odd extra bonus Rift tokens It can be hard to manage the coin for it, but making sure you only craft on Thursdays, you make the most of levelling on Wednesdays, these bonuses really help.

    There are some folks that if you have no heard of you should!, I'm not sure he's still making videos, but Alex68 is a boss with his walkthroughs, they are so awesome and damn that voice! (So Sub to his page! he deserves it) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJ0...AYKpDJD1YdqGRg

    Also the Animus Mobi site is literally the best resource you can have for forward planning, knowing what to craft and who you will need several days/weeks down the line. This web site will save you tons of time and help guide you through some tricky maps - https://animus.mobi/

    Lastly the forums, which I would have expected to be toxic like most games, but people here are pretty awesome, and one in particular who is often on here and has been pretty cool is Ima_Smakya formerly Nightstalker80 (Why change man! that name was awesome )

    I'll check the post for a little while in case anyone had any questions, but my main take away from this is that this was an awesome game! completely enjoyable for a mobile game (I would have been happy to put money into it as the company did a fine job, but that wasn't the deal I made with myself + I have purchased every collectors edition that ever came out from Ubisoft :P)

    Forgot to add the total play time which I am not sure how to view, usually only shows when the client falls out of sync

    Awww thanks! I had to change because there's a copycat Nightstalkers out there. You can have 2 names if the fonts are different aparently and mine was a custom font.
    I'm right behind you, almost done. Like you said, take advantage of the bonus days, and share gear between toons instead of T5ing everyone!
    Hopefully region 6 will come soon and don't forget to check out the new stars: I'm interested whether there's a reward setup...
    Good luck and congrats!

    I thought there was time played in Brotherhood Stats too, but I just checked and there isn't. It'd make me look like I have no life anyway hahaha!

    If you're looking for something else, Eternium and Celtic Heroes are both awesome and completely free to play as well.

    Omnishima,

    Thank you SO MUCH for mentioning the Animus Mobi site. I'm new to the game and didn't know about it. It's pretty fantastic.

    Best, xari.

    Also guys and gals, use the link to Alex68's walkthroughs. I can't count how many times they've helped me. He really does deserve subscriptions.

    Interesting post. I’ve not really grinded any of the achievements, just naturally unlocking them as I go. My focus has been more on heroes. Thanks to the Alexios cubes I’ve now maxed him, leaving just Maria and Al mualim. Maria will be maxed from her next event as I only need 22 DNA. So close to the full house of maxed heroes!

    Congrats! Alexios is an absolute beast in T5 gear. The addition of cubes has indeed been nice despite initial reservations.
    My achievements initially just sort of fell in line too. Before Region 5 I played instead of rushing most missions. Incidentally, Claudia was my first Epic to rank 5, even though I had a couple of maxed Legendaries before her. She's a great healer but Gaspar still has the heal over time, and for some reason his agility (while low) allows him to jump almost anything unscathed. Too bad his power score is so low

    Oops. My previous post should’ve said Alexsei. I maxed Alexios ages ago.
