Things nobody tells me

[sethmage]

Very late in the game i got ancient amulet and gladiator sword (these are the items that give you 10 runes of magic and 10 might respectively after 50 wins), what nobody tells you is that upgrade fights and suppression fights don't count towards these wins. I never paid attention previously since i always had multiple areas to clear, but now i wont get my free runes. Of course at this point doesn't really mater since i have 60 magic runes i can't allocate.

Anyway is there something else you guys learn the hard way?
