Last day of the season and I have made it to Silver I and this time without having to resort to any Alric rentals. Not sure how long I will be able to stay here though.
It will all kind of depend on the last quest of the season. If it is a Fire or Death quest, I might have to rent an Alric in the end to make up for the potential loss of rank points.
That's the biggest change for me when it comes to the seasons. The fact that you now only get the rewards for where you finish rather than the highest point achieved. Previously, you could sit back and relax after reaching the highest point. Even losses won't matter so much because the rewards have been secured.
