1YearAnniversary

The 1 Year Anniversary was a weeklong event debuting 13th August 2023 celebrating … I’ll give you three guesses.

## Overview

The 1 Year Anniversary event (hereafter Anniversary) was an overlying reward structure that did not directly affect gameplay. Players earned Event Points by completing BattlePass-style daily and full-event missions. Event points award Anniversary Skulls upon reaching certain thresholds. Anniversary Skulls, in turn, can be used to open Anniversary Crates, which contain coins, blackstone, Xenos badges, Equipment, Forge badges, and Re’vas shards.

## Missions

Daily missions were worth a variable amount of points.

The event mission tracks consisted of one track of 15 missions and one track of 20 missions. A third track of 15 Premium missions was available by purchasing the Anniversary bonus shipment. Event points rewards differed by track and increased by one per mission. Completing the two free tracks was worth 1025 points and completing all three was worth 1385 points.

## Milestones

Milestone rewards maxed out at 1700 Event Points. Note that maxing your points to 1700 will get you all the milestones but does NOT guarantee getting enough skulls to open the crates.

## Math

Let's see how the event breaks down based on the numbers we have available.

### Event Points

Completing the Event mission tracks award 1025 points for free-to-play and 1385 points total if you purchase the Anniversary Shipment and unlock the Premium mission chain. The two Daily missions seem to be worth 20 and 25 points, so 45 points per day for 7 days is 315 points or 1340 F2P vs 1700 for Premium.

### Milestone Skulls

There are 20 Event Points milestones with the final milestone unlocking at 1700 points. A F2P player earning 1340 Event Points would unlock all but the final two milestones for a total of 1865 Anniversary Skulls. With the premium track, you can unlock all milestones for 2395 Skulls.

### Daily Offer Skulls

The daily offers come bundled with skulls. Days 1 and 3 were free and contained 25 skulls each. Days 2 and 4-7 were paid and contained 400 total skulls.

As of Day 7:

For F2P, you can earn 50 skulls from offers.

For Premium, you can earn 450 skulls from offers for $98.44 USD

### Bonus Skulls

The Anniversary Shipment not only unlock the Premium mission track, it also grants a bonus of 5 skulls for every skull unlock. This affects every milestone (so 5 x 20 = 100 bonus skulls) as well as any skulls gained from the daily offer (so up to 5 x 7 = 35 bonus skulls), TA crates (8 x 5 = 40 bonus skulls) and Isabella Quest crates (15 x 5 = 75). Keep in mind, though, most daily offers require a cash purchase.

### Tournament Arena

The first 8 crates earned in the special Tyranid TA award skulls. The rewards are front-loaded, so the first three crates give more skulls (50, 35, and 35) than the next five (15 each). You can earn up to 195 skulls if you hit 130 points in TA.

### Isabella Quest

There are 15 crates, each containing Anniversary Skulls as a payout. The eight Fine Crates contain 25 skulls each; the three Blessed Crates contain 40; the two Ancient Crates have 60; and the final two Relic Crates have 80. This means you can earn up to 600 skulls if you can obtain a perfect score of 7800 in the Quest.

### Total Skulls So Far

For F2P, you can earn 1865 Skulls from missions, 195 from TA, 50 from free daily offers, and up to 600 from the Quest for 2710.

For Premium, you can earn 2395 skulls from missions, 195 from TA, 450 from offers, 600 from the Quest, 100 bonus mission skulls, 35 bonus offer skulls, 40 bonus TA skulls, and 75 bonus Quest skulls for 3900.

### Anniversary Crates

There are 30 Anniversary Crates. The first costs 60 skulls to open and the cost increases by 5 each crate, except with the final crate costing 210 skulls. Opening all 30 crates would require 3980 skulls.

As of Day 6:

F2P can open up 2710 skulls' worth of crates, which would be through crate 23. Without max Quest points (assuming you miss the final two Quest crates), you

Premium can open up 3900 skulls' worth of crates, which would be through crate 29.

### Spare Skulls

According to an announcement on the Discord, "there are 170 *spare* Skulls available", so one need not max out all available avenues for skulls to get to Crate 30.

## Changelog

16th August 2023: The final Milestone skulls reward was increased from 260 to 300.
