I know that it says in the description that it is hard, but Legion of Almire is HARD (considerably more difficult than Vanaduke, IMO). The main difficulty that I had was the respawning knights, which are quite difficult to kill. However, I have no problem with it being difficult.

After using about 10 sparks of life each, the two of us saw a lift to another floor and gawked. However, this floor was a treasure floor. I was thinking that our sparks of life were not in vain, until we opened the treasure boxes, and out popped T2 and T3 fire crystals (which are probably useless for anyone who is able to complete that mission). I don't feel that these are appropriate considering the difficulty of the mission.

Hence, my suggestion would be for T4 and T5 fire crystals to be in the treasure boxes for Legion of Almire.

Flowchart

they are.. if your rank is high enough and you do the version that starts at D24.
Sounds like you were still doing it on Tier 2.

im vohtarak

so first, there is no t4 and t5, you meant 4* and 5*

yes you were definitely playing in tier 2

and it changes through rank, so thats why u couldn't get into t3 runs I guess (tier 3 on elite is the only one with radiant fire crystals)

Unlike other danger missions

Unlike other danger missions which punish you for not being status immune this level in particular punishes you with tough enemies that can hide behind shields. There is chance for status but compared to other danger missions the threat is easily avoided.

The gimmick to this danger mission isn't status like the rest but respawning enemies.

Welcome to danger missions

Danger missions are, as they say, dangerous. You should walk in expecting to take a beating unless you can adapt easily or know the level inside-out and backwards.

And as for the mission rewards, that depends on depth and difficulty. On normal you'll find a lot less in the boxes than if you were on elite. However, this isn't a new formula - it's used everywhere in the game. The fire crystals you found were appropriate for your tier and depth. If you do the missions at lower depths (i.e., higher rank) then you'll find a massive amount of shining fire crystals and a few radiants in the mix too.

Basically, this suggestion is moot.

Thanks!

Thanks, I didn't realise that 'floor' was based on your rank. I played a couple of years ago before missions, so I have 4* and 5* gear, but am still a knight. Part of the reason I found it so difficult is because I was playing on elite. Did ghost in the machine on normal today and it was a pushover. (This would also explain why all the other knights on my elite missions aren't very good.)
