Request clarification on "banking" archives challenges

It's a popular tactic at the moment to complete archives challenges and then not finish them so that you have a pool of banked blood points over the cap that you can draw from when a new chapter drops.

My assumption is that this will still be possible based on how the patch notes were written, but am I right to assume this?

I have fully completed every tome, but I have a lot of challenges sitting unclaimed for this purpose. I just want to know if I can continue to do this, or if I should turn them all in ahead of the patch.

    • [NEW] Upon completion, players receive quest rewards automatically without needing to return to the Quests menu. 

    IMO this reads as if you cannot save the rewards anymore. But personally, I dont think it would really be needed. I am usually doing the same and save Tome Challenges for the next Chapter Release, but now with the BP Cap at 5 Million, you should have enough to bring characters to a decent level (If I am correct, should be P6 for one character or P3 for two Characters with 5 Million BPs).

    Yeah but they also clarified that archives challenges were separate and distinct from quests, and still needed to be selected and completed one at a time.

    I'm interested in this as well, but from reading the dev update it sounded like the old archive challenges would basically be untouched which probably means you can still save them. But you won't be able to with the new quests.

    I actually have over 22 million bloodpoints currently saved in the archives (yes, really), so I do want to make sure I don't end up losing anything/find out if I need to redeem these before the update.

    From my understanding this only applies to the Archives which are currently in the game, so up until the Tome/Rift which is active right now.

    And moving onwards the Archives will use the Quest-System for Challenges.

    But I could be wrong, however, this is how I understand it.

    same, I'm at around at least 25 million saved in archives and already have 18 million regular

    don't really want to have to take the time to cash out all the archives before the change

    In my case, I save my bloodpoints from challenges to spend them during the anniversary event (to get lots of event offerings).
    If I want to prestige new characters, I try to keep my bloodpoints close to the cap.

    I hope those bloodpoints do stay saved, we're close to the anniversary!

    To increase a prestige level, you need about one million Bloodpoints on average.

    I also hope they keep the cap fixed at 5 million.
