Essential Tips for Wonder Pick Events
- Ticket Carryover: Tickets remain in your inventory until January 29th. (A total of 31 tickets are needed for all Part 1 & 2 items, based on data-mined information).
- No Notifications: The game doesn't notify you of Bonus or Rare Picks. Check regularly (every 30-60 minutes).
- All Picks Count: All Wonder Picks contribute to mission progress.
- Strategic Rare Picks: Prioritize Bonus Picks for Promo-A cards. Only use Rare Picks if nearing the end and missing the P-A variants.
