The brief:
Complete Directives and Operations daily if you can. See your Dirs via Shift-K > Aelion and your Op tapping Y > Operation. Quit a Op quickly if you can't win a prize, and try again. Your directive group missions completed Gold in Divine form give best Ops and Deeds rewards. You can't skip a Dir, but you can stim a dull one to Gold and get better prizes
Details:
You get new gold Directive missions and prizes daily, twice on Wednesday and Saturday. If you don't do a gold directive, another one is stacked on top of it, up to a depth of 7. If it's 7 deep already, the new one pushes the oldest off the bottom.
Prioritize for your best Directive prizes:
[Followers] for Cathedral Might,
[Scientific Development] for ToK Might,
[Trophy Booster] to HOARD for a [Hall Trophies] sale, and...
[Divine
Deeds] for your [Hall of Deeds]
Other valuable Directive prizes are:
[Victory Medals] HOARD until a [Hall of Trophies] sale,
[Premium Days] use on days when you game a lot,
[Premium Boosters] click for extra daily prizes,
[Argents] HOARD for legendary weapons and other must-have items on sale,
[Sparks of Transform] HOARD for new classes,
large [Credit drops] and [Knowledge of Enemies] HOARD: spending them while you get catch up are mostly wasted, and you'll need millions later: .
Spend everything else as you wish, especially Followers, Scientific Development, Divine Deeds, Premium Boosters, Premium Days, Sparks of Transformation, and Construction Credits
DAILY DIRECTIVES
Start your missions with a team from Pantheon or Aelinet chat using /invite. [Find a group] rarely works. Also, listen for the ping on your channels for chat and /invites for your best directives while you complete them and your ops. There isn't a way to skip a Directive unless you're running Nightmare Distortions at near ranks. The reward under a meh Directive prize can be desirable and easy to get.
Completing any Squad, Group or Invasion quest enters you in a daily Operation to earn additional prizes in competition with other players. Your goal is to complete enough directive missions with or without help within four hours to fill your personal operations bar with op points, then fill the total bar, then out-perform everyone else in the Operation for high and highest point totals to earn additional prizes and qualify for a more difficult stage tomorrow with better prizes.
Anytime, the data in your Y>OPERATIONS>I(nformation) window shows if you have a current or previous OP. If you're in an op, try to get you a high place in it. Using your divine form solo in gold Group directives is cheap and effective at securing a speedy completions, Divine Deeds, and your personal and total ops points bars fastest at low stages. If you're out of gold missions, use a Stimulant to promote your directive to Gold for more points and better prizes. Hover your cursor over the up arrow to see what you can earn.
Tactically, start your Ops when you have enough time and teammates to complete it and when there are few other players to compete with you. Start with a short Invasion quest, like Sudden Attack, to find an op you can win. Decline the op if an ally is in it, the timer is near completion, other players with high scores are in it, or you likely can't gain enough points to complete or win it in time. You'll be offered a new op when you do the next qualifying mission.
New empty ops are not available four hours before daily reset (midnight to 4am Pacific time). All players get their op stage reset to the first one every two weeks. Then, competition for op points and high placement on the board is fierce. As days progress, it's easier and easier to win a top rank and you get the same prizes as the first day winners at each stage.
Completing a you own directive gold group mission with an S rating by achieving all mission and extra goals gives you many ops points and prizes. Junior Gods do not have the option to use Trial settings or Nightmare settings, which scale up ops points and prizes, so Elder Gods and Trial Rank gods have an advantage in scoring points as stages rise.
Each Operations stage requires more ops points than the last. At Rank 100, you peak at stage one or two. A 350 Rank Elder will peak near stage 5. Trial and Max Rank players should be able to complete ops daily with high scores in a solo op. If you reach Stage 8 from Stage 6 or 7 without winning a 500 Argent prize, your first first-place win in Stage 8 gives you those 500 Argents. There is no stage 9: at "last day" stage 8, there is no competition, just cooperation to complete the total op.
In need, you can
play ANY Group mission at all for a fair amount of ops points,
including your Bastion and Story quests. Run Squad
missions without divine form if you can, since they are easier and offer
fewer ops
points. Your Invasion directives offer the fewest ops points by far, and
other invasion missions even less.
A comprehensive list of all
playable areas is available thru your Directives screen in the "Adventure List" icon in the lower left corner. Areas there are sorted by type with
icons across the top of the window: three people shows Group missions,
mountains show regions, and so on.
