It is like Cursed City. You don't need to use energy/key again once unlocked it. Can fight it till you win. 

I haven't had any issue with the quest, but I have now completed all of normal and hard (except Goblin on Hard and finding my last 2 chests on normal.) I have probably 100 or so exploration squares left to go though between normal and hard. I left plenty of extra exploration squares everywhere as I just went from enemy to enemy and didn't both hitting every exploration around them. Only one side per enemy was needed.

If each attempt required an energy or a key I think a lot less people would be able to complete them as say it takes you 10 tries on a boss well there is 33% of your daily energy without being able to refresh it to be able to beat a stage. You only get a month before it changes. There is like a buffer of like 100 energy I think someone said to complete all of Normal and Hard every single square in order in the rotation time frame. 

The quest probably won't last as long in the pool like it did this time. I think it is just because this is rotation 1 they want people in there trying to win and unlock everything. So they want to try to force you to be in there upgrading and building everything up. 

I can't tell, are you a troll or do you not understand the quest? While I can go back to a cleared spot and redo it. It DOES NOT use any energy to complete it. The quest itself says to use 10 energy. And Hurray for you for completing normal and hard. I'm sure that you're level 100 and have a lot of lv 60 champs to choose from. However, not everyone is like you.

You NEED to go back and READ what I wrote. I'm pretty sure that I didn't stutter in my typing. You DO NOT use any energy on a fail. It says you do to either retry or edit your team but IT DOES NOT. Thus for low level people like myself and others that play the game, the quest is IMPOSSIBLE to complete.

Again, it doesn't matter IF there is an extra 100 energy to complete normal and hard. If I can't complete normal, what does that tell you about me facing hard? Again, if you don't understand the question, it's useless of you to give an answer that is wrong.

You don't understand what I am saying. Your anger about the quest seems to be blindsighting you. 

You stated: 

"As you can clearly see, losing to a boss and then either selecting "Replay" or "Edit Team" is suppose to use an energy up. However, that is not the case. Even if I edit my team or I select replay, it doesn't use a single point of energy up. "

I explained to you why that is a bad thing and it shouldn't do it. You want replays to use energy. It would be bad due to you cannot gain more than the set amount of energy. Same with Cursed City keys. If each retry used a key you would lose so much progress that you would not be able to complete the Cursed City within the time frame as each loss to a square would mean another square you will not be able to do. If Grim Forest you lost an energy on every loss with extra 100 energy only if you loss a total of 100 times or spent more than 100 attempts on the Goblins to get all of the bonuses done then you would not be able to complete other parts of the map. 

I did not tell you to go back and attack places. I told you to stop clicking on every square around every enemy and instead explore more to where you unlock more of stuff you can beat. If you get stuck then you can use less energy of the energy a day to complete the quests just use 10 while you continue to work on beating the stages you are struggling with. 

Look at how I do my map here. Granted I went through the last two days hitting up more of these squares the last two days trying to find my last Grim Charm, but I leave a lot of area available for me to use energy from. This is what I was saying about pathing and not hitting every exploration square around every target and just to enemy to enemy.

Sooo many spacesssss

Normal only takes 20 champions. I had multiple rare champions on both my Hard and Normal teams. I hit 100 maybe 2 weeks ago. Didn't start playing till Mid-2023. Your account is year and a half older than mine. The feature opens at 55. You should have 20 champs by then that you are building and using.  It doesn't take a ton of champions. Faction Wars requires you to have more champions than Grim Forest. Faction Wars you need 5 per faction and there are 15 factions currently so 75 champions. You don't need all your champions in Grim Forest to be fully geared. Gear exchange is free. You can switch gear around between your different nukers and supports based on what you draw. Also early hard is easier than later normal probably. Though that also depends on how good you have picked Trait cards and what Curios you are running. You could be running crap curios and picked stats that aren't helping you.

Also you do not need to complete every Advanced Quest as a new player. That is why they are called Advanced and not Beginner Quests 😁. 

"It's a bad thing and it shouldn't do it".

So you are basically saying then that you should not be able to complete the quest then. Oh, why thank you very much then. Well, here's my map bright eyes. You tell me when I should click next then.

i

Go ahead, tell me where to click next. THIS is my map for the next 1 1/2 weeks. Yes, normal takes 10 champs, congratulations on being able to count. As you can see, I am on normal and if you REALLY want me to post my champs, I can. However, after those 10 level 60 champs, my pool quickly dwindles. Guess what, I also have 1 rare champ on my team. The rarity of my champs don't matter when they are lv 50 and below. You act like this is easy when it is NOT. Now, if you want to show me beating normal with 10 lv 50 rares, then I might listen to what you have to say. Until then, STOP acting like you know everything.

You should click here and change it to hard lol. Do some exploration on hard. Click only 10 squares and then stop lol.

i

Also that is only one portion of your map and you are not Squad Level 30 yet. Go do some other fights or something and get to 30. I was 30 with a ton of the map left to do on both Normal and Hard. That shouldn't be the only square you have left on Normal. Seems like you've also used 10 Energy today. So you WEREN'T stuck. Considering the first screenshot you were at 29/30 and you are now at 20/30. Looks like you used your 10 for the day 😂

WOW!!!! You are so dense that it makes my head hurt. Your constant diarrhea of words you keep vomiting out of your mouth is nauseating. Do I REALLY have to show you every square inch of my map JUST to prove you wrong? You are constantly saying things SO WRONG that I would fear you ever being in charge of anything. You can do EVERY quest on normal and still be at lv 29. You can get to max 30 IF you get the quill. No quill? No extra XP to level up faster. How do I know? Because I'm level 29 bone head. Just as if you don't get a lv3 apple fast enough, you can't afford all of the chests in the vendor either.

If you look at my energy, you can see that it says 20/30 right now. Guess what genius? I slapped together my 50's together to explore hard to finish the quest. However, I STILL have 12 days where I can get this quest again. What happens the next time if I get the quest again, hmmmm? Eventually I'll have to fight something and then what? If I fail, I don't use any energy. No energy used means failing the quest. Again, show me you beating hard or even normal with lv 50's and then I'll conceed the point. Until then, STOP acting like you have all the simple answers when you're as dense as a rock.

lol 

Yes show me every square inch of each of your maps on both Normal and Hard. 

You can get to 30 without quill before beating everything.

"Just as if you don't get a lv3 apple fast enough, you can't afford all of the chests in the vendor either."

You can never get all the vendor chests because Gold is limited to 8,290 from what has been datamined. Devs have been told, they might add more gold in the future. You can never get all 3 chest currently. Apple is Coins not Gold. Coins are not Gold. Coins buy Curios and Deck Reshuffle only. Read the last line of the Apple.

i

I am a genius ^_^ thanks! See! I knew you could do it! Keep slapping together those champions and exploring! lol

OK, then I'll add to this discussion. I'm currently stuck with no way to advance. Since 1 person asked to see the entire map, here's mine.

i

What am I suppose to do? I can't beat anything else on this map and I used up all 4 of my redraws trying to take out mimics. Even if I was to beat the 2 remaining mimics, I can't beat anything else. IDK why I got the quest with 4 days left but it sorta stinks. I've used all 30 of my energy every day up until today. Do people need to hold off doing that until the last day so they don't get stuck like myself?

It most likely means that you have cleared a higher percentage of the empty spots that take enregy but give nothing.  Those do not count for anything, and after you have all of the charms and chests, there is no further benefit to clearing them.  I have cleared both Normal and Hard, but I had a few clanmates do it quicker than me. 

So, are you saying that for next season that I should not use up all 30 energy in a day even if that energy was to clear out empty spots? I admit, once I got the grim chest I continued to clear out the empty spots. Is that then a bad idea?

With 3 days left i don't think I have even 30 foot paths left to open, and have cleared every stage on normal and  hard. Simple fix for next rotation would be to count replays. I think I'm going to be stuck 1 or 2 days myself missing out on finishing advanced quests due to this. Will report back if I do run out of footpaths or not.

I am not sure, but I may try that next rotation.  

Although, the best scenario is that Plarium fixes the quest before the second rotation begins.  

Ill advance this to the CMs again.  Definitely an oversight that needs to be addressed. 

Tonight is the first night since grim forest went live that I do NOT have the advanced quest to spend 10 energy. 

Seems maybe something was changed? Can still run into the problem at the end of month being out of anything to spend energy on though, as I said above just change it to count replaying stages maybe.

I've enjoyed the quest since it was something I was doing everyday anywas, until a couple nights ago when I started just clicking left over footpaths to complete it as I am out of any stages to clear at this point.

Edit : or it could be a built in failsafe, as I just checked between my normal and hard maps I have 9 footpaths I have not clicked on so I couldn't even do the quest if I got it,  maybe the game sees that and removed it from my quest pool.

I used up all my energy every day until the last 4 days of it used 20 and then have had no spaces left. Have not had the Advanced Quest to use 10 energy since I beat everything. It has just been giving me do 2 Cursed City instead. Could be something that some of you that have completed everything are bugged for the quests, mine worked fine that once I had 0 spaces left it didn't pop up anymore and switched to Cursed City.

Same. Felt like I had the quest every day until I finished everything.  But haven't had it.  Guess it could still be a crappy thing for n00bs though.
