[glow=red,2,300]This patch appears to have gone live today![/glow]Sticker Patch Live in Germany, Coming Soon to North AmericaGame News by iTZKooPA Good news coming out of Germany today. The much-anticipated Sticker patch (first revealed a few weeks back and detailed further last week) has been deployed overseas. What this means for us North American gamers is that Playa is hard at work on the translation and squashing the last remaining oddities in the patch. We should expect to see the update within the next week or two. Now that the patch is live somewhere, I’ve been made more privy to the patch’s particulars. As expected, the patch is Shakes & Fidgets’ twist on the social gaming. Their twisted perspective on achievements or trophies. Twisted and incredibly numerous. The content patch is said to contain over 1,700 collectible stickers. There’s badges of pride for everything from monsters, lucky charms and even class-based awards. The collectibles are spread across the game, in quests, dungeons and even the Arena. Characters will have to make a small investment to purchase the sticker album – don’t worry, it’s just 25 gold – before they can begin collecting. It will be added to the Magic Shop’s random queue of items for characters that have not purchased it. Stickers will be automatically awarded and displayed in the album, with the most-recent additions front and center. Happy hunting! sfgamenews.com/?p=317

OK, i don't see it in the post above.[glow=red,2,300] BUY THIS BOOK AS SOON AS YOU CAN! [/glow] As you fill up your book, you get bonuses to your experience from quests. You get a % bonus to all quest exp (not sure if it applies to dungeons/guild raids/guild fights) based on how full your book is. If you have a 15% full book, you get a 15% exp bonus.
Now, for those of you who are actually collecting these, I have a few tips.
Short quests = more quests = more monsters to randomly fight and possibly add to your book
Special quests (the red ones) = monsters that you will not face in normal quests, so do them as often as you can (I hear you face more varieties of monsters in the red quests as you level). (plus, they normally are worth more gold and/or exp, so do them anyway)
Dungeons have monsters (especially the last bosses) that you will never see in quests, you must do dungeons to fill the book (but don't stretch too hard, you don't want to cheapen your exp/gold/gear rewards by lucking out and killing a level 100 mob at level 78).
Guild dungeons have bosses that you will never see in quests, PARTICIPATE. I have noticed that I did not get to add one of the trash mobs before the boss (There was a grey alien in the last raid and I don't have one in my sticker book, not sure if it is because only the boss counts, or if you actually have to brawl with the thing. I only noticed that one in particular because I know I am missing an alien.).
Also, you get to add stickers for any gear that goes through your inventory. Meaning you received it as a reward from a quest or you purchased it. (i don't recommend buying gear just to sell after you get the sticker, that is a TOTAL WASTE of gold)
FINALLY, You get to add any gear worn by an opponent you DEFEAT in the arena. I will admit, I am farming the lower-level folks as often as I can, and I have added like 8% to my sticker book in about 5 days. This is the best way to get the gear stickers, especially for the classes to which you do not belong!!!

Is 35.71% good for a level 55 player?

It is about what I am at, i am still farming lowbies for the starter gear. I think you will find that you basically max out. at level 55, I would look to make sure you have probably the first 6 of each type of gear filled for each class of player, and about 1/3 of the monsters.

Alright. I haven't been trying for the sticker album, but I just saw that I have that much amount of stickers. Do I also have to attack low levels for their gear information as well?

Your 35% beats my measly 13%!
I've been attacking low-level mages (I'm a scout) to start. Sometimes, one arena fight will fill in 8-10 spots in the album! Shows how long I've been ignoring the arena...

I go quest, arena, dungeon, quest, arena, quest, arena, etc. until I can fight in the dungeon again.

Yeah I'd say you're doing extraordinarily well - at least compared to me. I'm at 15.94% and thought I was doing well.

When I talk about the stickers for class gear, it seems to be in tiers. levels 1-10ish have the first set of gear, then 10ish -20ish have the second set, (25ish for scouts i think), then above that is the last set of gear.
Mages have three designs, each with 5 colors, each armor/weapon slot til level 10ish. then 4 designs, each with 5 colors, for each armor/weapon slot til about level 20ish then 3 designs, each with 5 colors, for each armor/weapon slot from then on. The specials, expect to find about 5 or 6 for each slot for levels 1-100.
Scouts have three designs, each with 5 colors, each armor/weapon slot til level 10ish. then 4 designs, each with 5 colors, for each armor/weapon slot til about level 25ish then 3 designs, each with 5 colors, for each armor/weapon slot from then on. The specials, expect to find about 5 or 6 for each slot for levels 1-100.
Fighters have 9 designs, each with 5 colors, for their weapon slot til level 10ish (3 or 4 for shield or armor). For their other slots (including shields) they have three designs, each with 5 colors. then they have 10 (maybe 11) designs, each with 5 colors, for their weapon slot til about level 20ish. For their other slots (including shirled) they have 4 designs. then they have 10 (maybe 11) designs, each with 5 colors, for their weapon slot from then on. For their other slots (including shirled) they have 4 designs. The specials, expect to find about 5 or 6 for each slot for levels 1-100.
Mages have about 50 pages of stickers (with blank pages between categories), scouts have the same. Fighters have about 80 pages of stickers...
For those of you farming the hall of fame for gear stickers, ranks 40000 - 50000 have your level 3ish-10ish (typically need a few levels to get a variety of gear, the brand new guys all have the EXACT same weapon (design and color) and only a weapon). Then you will want to farm 18000-25000 for the 10ish to 20ish level people. Then I farmed the 10000 range for the higher level folks (still low enough to never worry about losing, since I was just wanting stickers, not honor).
I have not had to farm for the "extras" (rings, necklaces and trinkets) yet, since going through three classes got me MOST of them, but these also seem to be in tiers, with a great deal of trinkets that do not have color variants (for example, the dust and the stumbling block, and for some reason several skulls of different colors, but each of the colors are different names such "Marvin's Skull.").
My sticker book is now over 92% full. Since you apparently cannot see other people's stick books (which I really wanted to so I could see what monsters I was missing), I am willing to make a video of flipping through my stickerbook and posting it in here if I can. Does anyone know how I could do that? (or I could just make screen shots, if someone is willing to explain how to do that efficiently).

Yeah see, so here's my question and what I don't get... Take a look at this shot of my book. This is the first page under the fighter section. I've been going through and farming through really low level characters (Which I hate, by the way. Totally sucks that they make us do that). So I have these blank spots still, all over of course. This is just a page. So the first spot under 'Old Club' is still blank. Does this mean I still need to find a really really low level character with this club? Do these blank spots go in a general numerical order, does anyone know? Or is it that the first, say, 5 pages of stuff are all sub-level 10 stuff, the next 5 are 10-25 stuff and then the 5 pages after that are +25? I'm just trying to get a handle on this so I know what to go farm to get something like the 1 blank spot there on the Old Club or the 2 blank toy swords, etc. Thanks - D

Please see my above (newly modified) post. For reference, the page you posted shows 4 different weapon styles, each with 5 color variants, all of which will be found on 1-10 level warriors (or a bit higher, depends on how fast they replace that particular gear piece.)
The "blank spots" to which you refer are color variants of weapon style you have not earned the sticker for. You can earn the sticker for EACH color variant of EACH weapon/gear piece style. For example, you have one color of the "old club" that you have yet to either obtain (through quest or purchase) or to earn by defeating a character wielding that particular color of that particular weapon in the arena. (yes, you will have to fight a level 1-10ish fighter wielding that color of that club at the time you fight him/her to earn that particular sticker)
Yes, it is often VERY difficult to tell the differences in color (especially when there is a blue-grey and a green-grey and a grey-grey of the same weapon/armor).
And YES, you will often need to check like 40 different level 8 or 9 people to get that last color variant of that last piece of armor you need from the super lowbies.
I would often have one window open with s&f signed into my stickerbook (which you can flip through even when logged off) and a different window open to the hall of fame and I would go back and forth, checking new heroes, and comparing the colors to see if they had anything I needed. When I dropped someone with a new sticker (you can tell because after you fight, you get sent back to your character screen and your stickerbook button will bounce). I then open the stickerbook and switch windows; logging back into the other one.
