Summary0008001: Unlocks & Spells Progression Frustrating Since Storm Change
DescriptionT2 regions used to be plentiful on a T1 continent, and now they are scarce. This significantly changes the progression of unlocks to craft spells.

This is a huge deal, because the game basically tells you nothing in the beginning except "set some goals and go do them!" As it was before some of the more recent changes, this was okay because most of the things a newbie player knew about was attainable.

Currently, there are several things where a new player can look through the unlocks, get all excited about one or two, and then find out that they can't pursue any of them.

For Example: If there is no lieutenant in a desert region, you cannot unlock cherries until you level the continent; whereas before, you could venture into a stormy desert to unlock cherries.

I assume there are similar roadblocks introduced through all the tiers.

Please revisit the unlocks and spell recipes to restore to the players a much more varied and open-ended way to progress through each tier. Thank you!

I am pretty sure the way it is setup now is the way it was originally intended, and the way it worked before (wherein was you could do unlocks/orbs beyond the continent's tier) was a bug.

I'm confused, what exactly is the issue? Once you kill one lieutenant, all the regions will be T2. What am I missing?

** Sea essence is not required by launch ice block until tier 4.
** Sea essence is not required by tidal pulse until tier 4.
** Sea essence is not required by splash back until tier 4.
** Cherry is not required by miasma whip until tier 3.
** Cherry is not required by leafy whip until tier 3.
** Cherry is not required by circle of fire at all anymore, but an extra magma is now required at tier 1 for it.
** Cherry is not required by ice cross at all anymore, but an extra two welkin gel are now required at tier 2 for it.
** Cherry is not required by cleft smoglet at all anymore, but an extra two welkin gel are now required at tier 2 for it.

tigersfan: the fact that you want tier 2 spells before the continent is tier 2.
