How do I Reach 100% Progress?

Progress is filled in a special event window where you can also track how close you are to completion.

Once you've added resources towards your progression, they will be deducted from your account. Reclaim spent resources in full any time by clicking the Return Resources button.

The progression is filled in any way you like. Choose which resources to invest, in what amount, and how many times to do so. You can add the whole amount at once or in parts — you decide what resource ratio is most comfortable for you.

The only limited resource is blueprints. They can only account for up to 36% of total progression:

• 14% with universal blueprint fragments
• 22% with national blueprint fragments

If every vehicle has been claimed before progression can be completed, any spent resources will be refunded in full at the conclusion of the event.

What Are the Mechanics of the Unique Style?

The Marked One 3D Style is only given to the first ~3,000 players to claim the Lion in the region. The next 7,000 players to assemble the Lion will still receive the Tier X Italian medium tank, but without the style.

Each style is unique for its region, displaying a bespoke number that is displayed on the turret and on a counter at the rear of the tank. 

With its 3D style applied, the Lion appears to be visually upgraded to the legendary OF-40.

What Is the Most Efficient Way to Use Resources?

Each resource contributes towards overall progression, but not equally. Below lists the amount of each resource needed to fulfil 1% of overall progression.

Please also take note that universal blueprint fragments cannot contribute to more than 14% of overall progression and blueprint fragments from each nation cannot contribute to more than 2% of overall progression (22% total).

Resource	Amount Equivalent to 1% Progression	Limit
Gold	550	100%
Credits	1,250,000	100%
Free XP	10,000	100%
Bonds	500	100%
National Blueprints	32	22% (2% per nation)
Universal Blueprints	20	14%

Although the value of each resource is fixed, each player can decide for themselves which resource to contribute towards progression.

• Some resources, like gold, can even be more efficiently used in some cases. For example, assembling the Lion using only gold or Free XP would cost 55,000 / 1,000,000.
• However, if you have an abundance of Combat XP, gold might be more efficiently used to convert it into Free XP:
  • 800,000 / 25 = 32,000 
• Don't forget about your other resources like bonds. Let's say you have about 10,000, about the cost of two pieces of Improved Equipment. That's already 20% of total progression towards a Tier X tank! Now, you'll only need 800,000 to get you the rest of the way.
• Blueprint fragments are similar. Universal and national blueprint fragments are commonly earned through Battle Pass rewards. If they're just sitting in your account, try maxing out your contribution from blueprint fragments. Together they can contribute a total of 36% of total progression. Along with 20% from 10,000, that's only 440,000, or 24,200 if converting from Combat XP.
• When all else fails, you can always use credits to take you the rest of the way. Be warned, though, it's by far the least efficient resource to add progression.

Use the calculator below to mix and match to your heart's content.

Don't underestimate the value of combining resources. By mixing and matching your resource contributions, you may be closer to the Lion than you think!
