    I have noticed that after some time items and cursed candy are disappearing,i know that items should disappear affter some time but why does cursed candy disappear?I need 10-12 min to solo the 3 challenge and i dont have the time to pick up the cursed candy because im trying to stay alive. In my last run i have cleard the map and i only got 72 cursed candy if you dont count the boss that drops 15 cursed candy and 2 statues i got 27 cursed candy.

    All drops disappear after about 5 minutes. I think health orbs stay around a bit longer but haven't tested it. Someone else may know for sure.

    Can BigPoint tweak the Mini #3 before it is over? The numbers don't make sense.

    The Devastating Knights and some of the main bosses are immune and powerful. Anyone with a slow mouse or internet lag can wake up dead. That makes for a very long battle, with mini battles over and over again. Yet those knights drop only greens and copper.
    The # of drops / run from the minions varies a lot, about +/- 50 from average for me. That could be the drops timing out and disappearing, before I have time to pick them up. I think the instances just have lots of variation, because of group size or because of scheduled rotation.
    Group size makes too big a difference on minion strength and numbers. The bigger the group, then more likely the deaths. Ander, essence, spirit stones, and health pots are too quickly burnt out.

    These factors quickly combine to slow down or eliminate players from the challenge events. Achievable goals are good. Losing is bad.

    The drops are really poor.
    Not just the drops ... even the rewards from the progress are not suitable for a challenge and all the hard work that the players have to do in order to finish the challenges.

    I'm personally pretty happy* with the event, especially since I'm getting a decent amount of extraordinary and legendary drops while soloing in ravencaw difficult. I do think that the mini takes way too many pearls, though.

    *My point of view is probably way skewed since my two characters are a DK and a SM, both who benefit from the warlord set. Additionally, my legendary weapon mini event reward for the DK was a 2H hammer with 168.9% weapon damage and +92 damage, which made soloing ravencaw and mini #3 easy. I stopped doing the minis with my SM, but at least the SM is having an easy go at dragan hard thanks to turret-mania. For somebody playing a ranger or a spellweaver, this event is probably a waste of time, especially since the warlord set is not as desirable for those two classes.

    I was quoting Darwarren where he is talking about challenge #3 ... therefore and my comment was regarding the challenges and challenge maps.
    I disagree with you that the progress is giving useful rewards. Why?
    First we have stated that the challenges are for the stronger players ... not for everyone. If a stronger player is getting items that he/she will never use ... then what is the point of having them at first place.
    Those rings and the gems are good for weak players ... but not for the others.

    Regarding the warlord set .. it is a matter of preferences. I can't argue that part.
    I have them and I will never use them ... but I play (actively) ranger and two SWs (one with 2H and the other with 1H weapon) ... but that doesn't mean I wouldn't use it if I were playing more actively my DK and my midget.

    Trust me, archers also love this set. At least those hardcore pvp-ers. It helps them to get 80% block and they still have lots of burst damage ready thanks to a skillset. Mages would be the overall losers of the set, but still, I have used it a lot on arena while leveling up, and now it is pretty good option with a 2h.

    @trakilaki how soloable is 4th challenge? Have you solo-ed it or teamed up? Any idea on candy drops would be also appreciated. Thanks.

    I play a lvl 50 DK and love every bit of this event. Finally finished the warlord set, which in tandem with the new skill system is a gamechanger. I love the onyx skulls and may even wear the dragan ring when I'm tanking, since the summons seems to take aggro. Ravenclaw difficult drops plenty of legends; like novadude, I picked up a new 2-handed axe. Running the difficult map 2-handed with the warlord set feels like easy mode.

    I don't know what future events hold, but dragan always satisfies. The 2nd and 3rd minis showed great creativity and commitment to a better gaming experience. Can't wait to see the first original event designed for the new system.

    as long I tried twice , 5 tree drops 5x , 10x, 15x, 25x and 40x (total 95) ,2 statue cost around 46 pearl drop 15x 20x ,for solo plausible except we shall faster cause the buff only work 2 minutes ,the boss self (the tree not harm at all ) they just keep moving than if we fail to kill them before they reach the well ,they explode and no progress.

    Does each player have to find a Strength of the Forest, or does 1 work for everyone in the team?

    This is going to be a very expensive challenge. Do the statues drop pearls, or candies?

    Many players are not doing Challenge #4. Grouping will be problematic.
    Hustle Hustle. We will see.

    I was playing on TS only solo.
    It is not difficult but you have to react very fast ... after you kill the trees you can "clean the map". (but you need an buff first)

    The average drop is 110-130.
    Pearls needed for the challenge (solo): 4000-4200 (not counting the pearls you will collect inside the map)

    I'm not sure for it ,cause I did it solo ,but the drop items for buff I guess for all ,but after active it in cauldron I don't know if share to all party,but I manage to kill per tree with red per buff. like traki said, it need fast ,and for statue self drop progress (candy) as usual (the best I guess shall be take it as last after kill all the tree)

    Can someone move the Blood of the Forest icon out from behind the chat box? Hello, designers?
    Anyone else find a shortage of statues in several instances?
    Anyone else kill the 40 boss and get no drops? LOL
    Anyone else get a lag death or disconnect while on the timer?
    Anyone else. . . and the list goes on.

    littlemichel is correct
    95 from trees, 35 from statues = 130 per run
    2000/130 = 16 runs

    Cost is 150 + 46*2 for each statue. You get 30 back from Pumpkin so 150+46-30 = 166/run if duo, 150+23-30 = 143/run if 4+ group
    So 16*166 = 2656 pearls duo
    16*143 = 2288 if 4+ group
