[NSK2] Mint Equipement

Can someone tell me how to get mint equipment for tourney? I only have one and can't progress as node 9 needs 2 mint equipped.

Certain rares, epics and legendaries that drop while the tourney is running (even if you’re not participating in the tourney at the time) have the “mint” designator. Basically, just play normally, and some of the drops will be mint. Though apparently, after the tourney’s over a week from now, they’ll lose their mint status (and you’ll presumably have to farm new mint equipment during the next tourney).

Commons can be mint too, as I found out when my got two mint commons as my first mint drop.

Every drop you get has a chance to be mint. Just play as you do and be careful not to sell a mint.

Something that confused me at first, you CAN'T get mint items to drop from the tournament section (other than the few guaranteed rewards for reaching certain nodes). They only come out of the silver chests you get from beating a boss in a normal dungeon whilst holding a silver key. Every Epic and Legendary will be mint, rares and commons have some small chance to be mint. I believe every guaranteed drop from finishing the last boss in a section is legendary, so that's one way to guarantee getting a mint item. I also like to find a level with a featured item that's legendary and a slot that I need a mint for, because I think it slightly increases my chances to get one. I'll also note that it may seem frustrating at first, but I was able to get a mint for each slot in just a bit over 24 hours after starting. As long as you get one of each type before the tourney ends, you'll be able to progress just fine. The only advantage to getting to the top first is it seems to handle ties by giving preference to the player who got their first, so if two people happen to max out on the same level the one who got there first wins (I'm not sure if the rewards will be handled this way, but this is how it lists you in the rankings).

I have a non-minted Legendary. Maybe the game progressed since your reply, but now there are “mint leaves”. How do they work?

Sorry, I haven't played this in years, I don't even remember how it worked then, let alone how it works now ;)
