Let's get a leaderboard going like with Doomtower and Cursed City!  And please expedite the Live Arena win counter patch so it is fixed before the weekend :)

At 37/180, I am not even to the first mission that requires any Myhtical to drop.  After I get past my current "Earn 2500 Mortal Soul Coins", I will zoom through the next handful and land at the "Obtain 5 Mythical Accessories from Spider", which is the Mission that the OP was complaining about.  If you are hunting Mythical Chestplates, you must be on Page 2 at least.     

a leaser board for these wuests would be similar to a leaderboard of the best shard pulls, as half this is just rng luck and time gates.

I strongly disagree.  

1) Planning (actually reading the missions)

2) Willingness to waste resources (being a hoarder allows this) or buy energy

3) Being dumb enough to race for a 1-time prize that is an eventuality

Comparing it to "shard luck" is actually a great analogy, those with "bad luck" on shards is due primarily to PEBCAK.  Generally both inefficient play resulting in less shards, and not opening at optimal (2x, 1+1, guaranteed).  Over time (4 years for me), its EV not rng.  The variance is greatly minimized over time combined with efficiency/optimization.

The time gates just add a slight wrinkle to the strategy, and are generally welcome by me.

I would say 95% of "setbacks" are do to player mistakes / poor planning.  The other 5% are a combination of bad rng and poor planning.  At 142/180 now (bragging ribbon on).  Most that have faultered are do to not having a hydra key left, no clan gold, claimed all clan quests on day 1, not saving IT keys, selling all Zeal gear, no mythical charms saved, ....

Been farming spider for almost a week now. 3/5 mythic items, its RNG.

I applaud your argument though.

well now that I have realized these missions are skill based I decided to just L2P and move on with them.

I have hit the next roadblock errr skill check I mean, but now that I have learned to play skill based instead of being a normal pleb praying for rng to bless me I can only assume I will be passed this and moving on in a couple hours.

Overcoming rng acquiring mythical artifacts 😆 

For anyone who happens along this thread looking for information related to how many Spider H10 runs it takes to get 5 Mythicals to drop.  It took me 37 Super Raids at 40 energy a pop, so 1480 energy to pass the mission.  

I waited for the Spider Turn Attack Tourney to start and that got me to 5446 points.  Just a couple hundred (254 to be exact) shy of the Ancient Shard, so I'll pick that up shortly and call it g2g.

Holy clean sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeets.  How do you have that much energy to burn as a F2P player?  I have never had anywhere near that many Diver Points!  

wtf did I do wrong ... it took me something stupid like 8k energy to finish this mission lol. Currently stuck on getting mythical boots now.

RNG gonna RNG you.  I got the boots in around 400 energy.  Then it took me 25k energy to get the 4 chests.  Fun times.

I quit cvc many moons ago, don't really use gems because I didn't have a sd25 or shogun25 or fk10 team until these missions started.  Nothing else worth using gems on except tag refills during tournaments and Sunday IT. Probably gemmed masteries once a month and slow burned a few in mino. And yes that's about how many DD points I would do across 3 fusion DDs all in one day lol.
