JWA Weekly Events Nov 15 - Nov 21: Armour

Hello everyone. Welcome to “Weekly Events” with Kelociraptor and Lucus1355 from the ‘GamePress JWA’ Discord to let you know what’s coming up in this Jurassic World Alive week.

Kelociraptor and Lucus1355 look over the week, as well as giving insight to the creature’s available to dart in:

ARMOUR WEEK!

Also, check out our exciting, new section at the end of this featured article!! 

Before we dive in to the week, we'll break down how the weekly event calendar works.

First, each day is considered started at 10am Eastern on that day. It is possible that wherever you live, it might actually be the previous or next day, so we wanted to help clarify how they determine what day it is. At this time, event creatures & strike towers will be updated as applicable. This information is also noted on the calendar.

Ever wonder why some weeks we’re given 45 attempts on Common’s and others only 18 or 27? The reason for this is that the volume of attempts is a simple math calculation based on the rarity and number of options. Take the rarity base number and multiply by the number of options and voila, you have your total allowed attempts! Having more variety in the options yields that many more attempts. The flip side is it may be more difficult to find the creature(s) you favour. Below details the number of attempts assigned to each rarity which is used to determine how many attempts you receive (though occasionally, they stray from this math). This is the total you are allotted across all options, so it is important to select your choices wisely.

• Common = 9 per
• Rare = 6 per
• Epic = 3 per
• Legendary/Unique = Varies but tends to usually be 1 total
• Omega = 3 per

They recently started putting the number of attempts on the calendar again and sometimes stray from the above. Refer to the calendar for the confirmed counts. Each rarity has a different length of time the spawn lasts followed by a different length of time until respawn after de-spawn. Common’s and Rare’s will last about 35 minutes with about 5 minutes between. Epic’s last about 30 minutes with about 5 minutes in between. Legendary’s & Unique’s last about 27 minutes with about 3 minutes in between. Many thanks to Lilikoi of Dom Tuoretto for helping us nail down those cycle times! Omega’s, approximately last about 22 minutes with about 2 minutes in between.

All strikes and trials are represented on the calendar with the level of difficulty along with how long they last (1 day or 2 days). The trials are shown along the very bottom in grey boxes.

Strike Events & Trials

Strike Events and Trials will also be Armour themed and can reward the same Common, Rare, and Epic DNA found at Event Supply Drops (with a very tiny possibility of Legendary) along with a possibility of other goodies.

This week, there is a Ankylosaurus Creature Strike on Friday. Boost Strikes will be on Wednesday (Damage), Saturday (Health) and Monday (Speed). Sunday's Dark Yellow Strike Tower will have a Gold Catalyst reward, whereas Monday's Dark Blue Strike Tower will have a Bronze Catalyst reward.

Scents

No basic scent strikes this week but on Thursday and Monday, there will be a Ankylosauridae  Scent Strike. This scent should draw the following creatures every 2 minutes when activated with one rare guaranteed on the first pull:

• Scolosaurus (Common)
• Euoplocephalus (Common)
• Ankylosaurus Gen 2 (Common)
• Nodosaurus (Rare)
• Ankylosaurus (Epic)
• Antarctopelta (Epic)
• Bumpy (Epic)

(NOTE: These creatures are an approximate of what the scent will contain and will change (if necessary) Wednesday at reset when it is available to be viewed ingame. Check the "i" button for creatures and their percentage chances)

Treasure Chase 

We're looking to have a Normal Treasure Chase on Sunday where distance doesn't matter. You can collect up to 25,000 coins through each period (Sunday will run 11am Eastern to 8pm Eastern, then it will reset until 11am Eastern Monday) - this allows 2 total chances at the coins!
