Spell surges
262 Posts	Link to post - Posted January 9th 2012 at 9:29 PM Melody October May OK, yes - I complained about getting spell surges when I'm using a multiplier, so this will sound like a strange question coming from me. Is there a trick to getting more surges? A specific sword that brings them in? I have gone through almost 20K energy today, and got exactly ONE spell surge. I have friendly competitors who tell me that they regularly get about 2 surges for one 100% energy fill. Ack!

I also usually get them when they will do me the least amount of good, like giving me an Energy Boost, right after I have used my last energy pack or Golden Touch right after I have used 670 power.

That was the whole point of Melody's prior complaint is another topic. I had commented on that aspect of the developers attempting to reward players with free surges the week they came out. I said something like "practically all the spells are worthless without power or big power, so nobody winning one is going to think anything good of them anyway". as for getting them, I think I get one a week in something like 7,000 whacks. don't need them, don't like them, don't know if there is a way to increase them...

I enjoy using the increased Mana & Power, but don't think they're worth the use of my reagents & mana, and thus really looking forward to getting those surges of them.

The Jewelled Luck has been good to me overall. I have three diamonds from wins. Sadly, I haven't gotten the Emerald which is what I'd like to win. I, of course, am not a high player or even trying to be. I just enjoy having the jewels when they are needed.
