No worries, and welcome back. Thanks for your comments, I’d like this thread to be active with people suggestion any ideas they may have.

The feather and black pearls thing is a pretty big issue. Take black pearls to start with: once you’re late game and you’ve completed all the early/cheaper hat sets (Common, Uncommon, Rare and Magical) it becomes a massive and slow grind to collect black pearls for the Exotic-tier hat sets, which cost 70k pearls to fully complete. That’s 10k per hat, which itself takes forever to save up for, then you have to do that 7 times. It takes forever, it’s tedious and not that enjoyable.

On top of that you have the Legendary-tier hats which are even worse as they cost 25k each…that’s a 150% price increase. Though there’s no point in working on these as:

1) It already takes an absurdly long amount of time to complete an entire Exotic hat set, let alone save up for just 1 Exotic hat. Take that time and double it, add a bit more and you have the time it takes to save for just 1 Legendary hat.

2) We keep getting new Exotic hat sets added in with virtually every subsequent Hat Adventure = more work added to the pile of grinding we already had to do before <new hat set> was added.

So ultimately the Legendary hat sets are not worth thinking about as we’ll never have any reason to start working on them when Exotic hats already take long enough to accumulate and there’s a lot of them to get done. Plus Exotic hat sets are cheaper to work on, as by getting enough black pearls for 1 Legendary hat you’d be able to buy 2 Exotic hats and be halfway done for a 3rd.

The grind is awful because we get so little black pearls from playing daily; despite there being many ways to get pearls, the amounts we get are minuscule:

1) If you can slog through the very hard DC, you get a measly 30 black pearls from it..

2) The KPP which is often easier but is only available after beating the DC gives just 100.

3) The Hat Store chest usually gives 20 black pearls as it’s the most common card. Sometimes you can get 50 and on rare occasions 100+. Since the chest can only be used once/day it’s not a reliable source for pearls which is why I never bother opening it.

If you could open it once an hour or once every 2-3 hrs it would way better. Even once every 4 hrs (6 uses/day) or once every 6 hrs (4 uses/day) would still be great. Hell, even once every 12 hrs would give you 2 uses per day which is double what we have now.

4. Rare chests give 75 black pearls occasionally. Sometimes you can get more if you’re lucky but it’s not something to rely on.

5. Placing top 3 in the Arena isn’t even worth mentioning since the payout is only once a week, it’s not that much given the effort needed, and it’s only the last 2 leagues that give black pearls with the Legendary league giving the best possible amounts of pearls. Again, not reliable enough and you need to constantly play, win, and keep doing that so that you climb to the top and stay there.
