FAQs


How much damage is required for a chance for good loot?

You should at least do your “fair share of damage” in a raid. However to get more epics you need to do more then your fair share, for larger raids you may need to do from 1.5x to more then 2x your fair share to get 3 epics.

Formula for fair share of damage = Total health of a raid boss / Total amount of people in raid

The following is the fair share of all raids – on Nightmare Difficulty, if you’re looking for any other difficulty use the formula above!


I’ve made a spreadsheet with the fair share of every raid, check it out here!

How much damage do I have to do to get Achievement points on a raid?

Even though there is a minimum damage that you need to do to get achievement points, it is recommended to at least do your “fair share” of damage on a raid. (See above listing for fair share of damage) If you do your “fair share” of damage on a raid, it makes it much easier to kill a raid, because everyone is pulling their own weight and no one person has to catch up a failing raid.

What is BSI and how do I calculate it?


BSI: Battle Strength Index, basically it is your strength compared to your level

BSI = (total ATT + total DEF ) / LVL

Example if you are Level 100, with ATT = 150 DEF = 50
Your BSI would be:
BSI = ( 150 + 50 ) / 100 = 2.0

In general (This all depends on what raids you fight and how you use your stamina)-

How does Pursuit of Excellence affect experience in raids?


PoE will double any of these numbers. Sometimes you wont see PoE proc because of a low roll, even if it has. For example, if you were to get 40 exp for a 20x attack, with a PoE attack it would show as 80, but there is no visual difference between that and a regular 80 exp roll.

Regular Raids

1x Attack = 1-4 exp
5x Attack = 5-24 exp
20x Attack = 21-100 exp

Alliance Raids

1x Attack = 1-2 exp
5x Attack = 5-10 exp
20x Attack = 20-40 exp

Is it okay to use an alt (multiple accounts) to play Legacy of a Thousand Suns?


Q: What is an alt account?
An alt account is any other account beyond your main; account that you personally access. It is very clear in both Facebooks Terms of Service and our Terms of Service that you can only have a single account. To put it as plainly as possible, you can only play Legacy of a Thousands on one account.

Q: What is the big deal? Alts don’t really hurt anything.
Alt accounts absolutely affect the game in negative ways and I am not about to list all the ways someone can abuse them here. Alt accounts are against Facebooks Terms of Service, as well as ours. Regardless of your personal feelings on alts, they are against the rules and if they are not turned in will get you banned.

Q: What if my family plays on the same computer or from the same location?
That’s awesome! We think it is great when you can enjoy a game like this with friends and family, it is in no way against the rules. While situations like this are certainly looked at, it is far from the deciding factor on banning alts.

Q: How do you know which accounts are alts and which are not?
I am not going to go into the details, but we look at a number of different things. One thing to point out is that it is a manual process, there isn’t some random program running on the server banning people at will. When an account is banned, time and thought are put in to it.

Q: What if I play two different accounts, but they have no interaction with each other?
That is an alt account, if not turned in by the deadline both accounts will be permanently banned.

Q: What if my spouse plays their account all the time, but asks me to play it only on the weekend while they are away?
If you are playing someone elses account or someone is playing yours, it is considered an alt and both will be banned. Don’t play anyone elses account. Period.

Q: What if I spent money on my alt account? Can I keep it? Can I transfer it?
Alt accounts have always been against our Terms of Service, spending money on it does not allow you to keep them or transfer anything over in any way. As stated in the announcement post, you need to send us the IDs of all the accounts and designate which one to keep, the rest will be banned.

Q: What if you ban a legitimate account?
You can dispute the ban by emailing support@legacyofathousandsuns.com . We can review the ban, but if we had cause to ban it then chances are it was for a good reason.

You MAY have an account on here (Kongregate) and ONE on Facebook, without any penalties!

The post titled “What tactics should I use on raids?” is completely outdated. In my humble opinion there is no point to bring it over to this forum as it can only confuse new players into prefering wrong tactics.

You don’t. Brown material is loot from NM Nathaniel Vorden, I believe.

I noticed in the Fair Share spreadsheet Rival created that the sheet will no longer be updated. Obviously by the last zone that was included the updates have stopped a while ago. I personally feel as though a quick reference FS/OS guide for all of the raids is VERY helpful. With that being said, I have expanded Rival’s Fair Share guide to include the majority of the available raids. Those that are interested can view the spreadsheet here.

For anyone concerned with clicking on a random link without knowing where it is going, the link is a tinyurl that will redirect you to a pdf thrown up on googledocs.

I have included some notes on the top of the file. Also, I am planning on keeping this as up to date as possible, so if there is a mistake that I have made please feel free to let me know!
