    - Hello Graalians , if you did not know GST 2017 just passed and everyone is pretty shocked by how the event played out! On Saturday, July 15th 2017 a lot of GST History was made. The first round was easy for most teams, advancing to quarterfinals was Shrekt vs Flushy , Kartel vs Tetris , Freeze vs MK , and Fin vs Curse. With Shrekt and Flushy starting the quarterfinals the unthinkable happened. Shrekt got knocked out second round. Their leader Duke was missing from GST but later towards the end of GST 2017 the team found out Duke was involved in a car crash. We ask you as the Era Community to keep him in your prayers. With Flushy advancing to the semifinals Tetris followed right after them to go against in the third round. Freeze and Curse also advanced to the semifinals. In the semifinals the dueling teams were Flushy vs Tetris. It was an intense, best 2 of 3 fight to decide who would advance to the finals . Flushy ultimately defeated Tetris, securing their place in the finals. Freeze and Curse were up next and they produced arguably the best fight of the night. Curse advanced to finals beating freeze 2 to nothing. This left Freeze to fight against Tetris to claim the third place spot. As a result of a long, hard battle, with both Tetris and Freeze giving their all, the third place spot was claimed by Tetris, leaving Freeze in fourth place. Last but not least it was the final battle of the night , Flushy vs Curse. During a long, incredible fight after both gangs had been competing all day to earn their spots in finals, Flushy came out on top, placing first and leaving Curse in second place. Flushy , Curse , and Tetris were all new gangs that placed top three for GST leaving the returning Freeze in fourth place. Please stop and congratulate the players that participated in GST and to congratulate Flushy for winning GST 2017. Missed GST 2017 and want to watch it?

    Zany’s Guide to Saving a Lot of Tro
    A lot of players want to save for big ticket items such as brellas, supers and auction items via trade center. But it can be hard to collect a lot of tro, the main trading currency in the trade tables, especially if you don’t have a lot of tro to begin with. So here’s some tips!

    Trade Off
    If you have a good amount of items, whether they’re worth a lot or not, get to know their prices. If you don’t need them or use them, trying selling them for tro to get a head start and gain some extra. Every bit counts, from 15 tro to 200.

    Digging
    Digging is arguably the most tedious job there is. Finding a good spot, and doing the same repetitive movements over and over for minutes at a time. Here’s some tips.

    ~You may need to work in order to afford shovels, because they are expensive. While you’re digging, since you’re focusing mainly on trochus, it’s best to (after you run out of shovels) sell all your other shells and crab shells in order to purchase more shovels in return. It is a helpful method.

    ~Since digging is boring, it’s fun to do with a friend to relieve the tediousness of it. Listening to music is also helpful.

    ~Don’t give up! If you’re saving for a lot you can’t stop. Keep on pushing to do it, and take breaks if you don’t want to do it.

    ~The start bus has a very low shell spawn rate, so as empty as it is, it’s best to not to dig there.

    ~Using melees that are fast and moderately good damage wise are best for killing crabs. Guns are inconvenient for killing crabs. Make sure you have a lot of food if you don’t have revive because crabs are quick to kill!

    Saving It
    When you have a lot of tro, it’s very hard to resist the urge to sell it all, get items out of it, or trade it, and for the generous person, to give it away. But in order to reach your large goal, you have to not do that. Once you reach your goal though, do it as much as your heart desires.
    Hope this helped some people.
