Ok - i see mortee claiming he did not spend a single penny on the game but has 4 guardians of tier-4. She
you can get 3 epic scrolls from missions with a low chance of getting a tier-4 guardian,and you earned one from attacking warlords.
here is the rub - 2 vip agents in our coalition (one is mine) have both told us "the only way to get holy items is through the bank" they are incorrect, I have had holy bond's drop and I am not the only one, however it is extremely rare for them to do so
also - you expect me to believe that you are that lucky that all 3 epic scrolls you got for free issues a tier-4 guardian ?????
not one was tier-2 or tier-3? - You can get grade 4's from epic bonds, I have earned a fair few in guardian tournaments but again it is very rare for those to open as grade 4's
your are very very lucky, putting aside the fact that the vip agents all agree that you can not find holy scrolls from fighting guardians - and the fact that of all members in my coalition that have been making mass attacks on warlords to upgrade their guardians, not a single one has ever found a holy item as a reward. Sorry to say but your VIP agents are incorrect, I have had holy bonds drop, screenshot below My apologies if you have been incorrectly informed by a VIP agents
i can also show you screen shots of our coalition guardians, over 100 tier-4 and all high level from constant attack runs on warlords, yet we have not found a single holy item. They are very rare but do drop, again see screenshot below
and for ididicus we have not a single tier-5 guardian in the entire coalition - we have purchased many many bank packages that offered "a chance" of getting a tier-5 guardian - It is your choice to spend that money however with patience, a little time, following the guides that have been written and some luck you can gain high graded Guardians without spending money, I prefer spending mine on Prosecco and good food out with friends ;)
