Hi RealBigOleDummy! Your suggestion has been forwarded to our specialists! 👍

WooHoo :D

Thanks Iver 

I am frustrated by game blocks to progress.   Obsidian..  haven't seen any in the bank offers or in any other place....can't finish knowledge without them......Soul shards...I actually have some of these...   a few thousand...needed to upgrade buildings....millions.   Neither of these two resources are available as far as I know.  I must be missing something here

It may be of no help to you , but it's  currently in the seasons store. I piece costs 2 coins.

You can have as much as you can afford.

Failing this, you will have to rely on the usual places, and hope it reappears for you there. 

Soul shards are another matter, I think they are only won in battles.

I do not know what the rate they are awarded at, but based on a limited experience, have a feeling it's less than it was previously.

The inducement is to get players fighting.

Thanks xyz... the season store info solved one of my problems.  have fun and good luck

Sorry but unless there is another route which is better, I do not like the new gem store format.

If you insert a gem and want to continue, it goes back to the top of the  list and then you have to scroll all the way back down to where you want to be.
