Yes, the starpower thing is totally messed up and I agree with everyone about that. The major tip you all seem to be missing is that ''' USING SHARDS IS THE ONLY LOGICAL WAY TO LEVEL UP. ''' Probably only the more advanced players with an established Ethereal Island realize this. Shards are basically useless unless you trade them in for diamonds (30,000 shards = 1 diamond). You can level up to 50 with 45,500 shards. If eveyone on the island did this your tribe would be at level 1500 which means each member would earn 20 diamonds at the end of the week. 20 diamonds = 600,000 shards. So if you can spare 45,500 shards you get 600,000 shards back, but I would keep the diamonds. There is a Tribal Island Wiki page where I got this info. It's not listed under "Islands" yet. I found it under Community.
