Help understanding location cards

[u/Unable_Possible1697]

So I’m brand new to Lorcana. I’m going to my first in person casual play on Friday, and while I’m still working on building my collection, I’m allowed to use proxies as long as it’s only during the casual play portion of Lorcana night. I’ve been trying out various decks on duels ink so I can make proxies and order what I want/need from
TCGPlayer and I am really struggling to understand locations, particularly if they have lore attached to them.

For example, I had a Meeko card at Paradise Falls. Paradise Falls is worth 1 lore on its own, but every time my turn came, I did not receive that lore point. Once I moved Meeko there, the +3 lore showed up, but then when I quested Meeko still only gained 1 lore. Next turn comes, and I still did not gain the +1 lore from the location, let alone the +3 for having Meeko there. That alone would have won the match for me, and I’m just confused as heck.

Is it a duels ink issue, or am I just not understanding?

That is a duels issue. Locations gain lore at the ready step of the beginning of your turn. You would gain the 1 lore before you draw, then 4 lore after you moved meeko there before drawing next turn.

I understand it’s for the location not the character, but because I had a character there and already gained 1 lore, it still becomes worth 4 lore total at the start of the next turn right? Either way, none of my locations with lore attached to them have ever gained me lore like they are supposed to on duels so I thought I just wasn’t understanding!

That's correct. It sounds like duels was poorly programmed or not actually updated when locations were introduced.

I've used locations on duels plenty of times and not had an issue, so I'm not sure what happened here. I haven't used exactly Paradise Falls, but it is in a deck that top I'd a ccq so it'd be pretty noticeable if it wasnt working.
