I think the addition of spell energy to the portkeys rewards has really diluted the rewards. I don't nearly get the xp from them I used to. Anyone else see this?
I think your question would fit better in the “General Questions” section (link below), rather than the Community Forum Feedback section. @hpwulola Can you please move this?
But to answer your question, yes a lot of people are not a fan of the spell energy in the portkeys. Between inns, greenhouses, daily rewards, and gifts, energy is no longer the big issue it once was. As I’ve stated previously, if anything, limit things like energy to 2km portkeys. The 5 and 10 km portkeys should contain higher XP and rarer ingredients only.
I'd like to contrast this with the fact that portmanteaus are so much easier to unlock with adventuresync. It makes since that the rewards should decrease to balance the impact.
To a point @Osprey1. I know that my Google fit actually doesn't count half my steps and wore two different pedometers at one point to confirm. Which means that I may be getting a few more steps counted, but still not all of them. So there are some times when I have to turn AS off to get a Portkey to open.
Yesterday, fitbit's servers were down for quite a while. Naturally this happened when I was out walking a fair bit (2mi) and even though my phone was on me, AS was on. Google fit counted less than a mile and so the three portmanteaus I was hoping to open didn't. This shouldn't be a problem, but with nerve pain in one leg, that distance can put me down for a day or two.
When going for the 10k and only getting basic ingredients and 2-5 spell energy it changes perspective on working towards a walk of that distance.
I concur. Spell energy should be in 2 km portmanteaus whereas rare ingredients should be in the higher ones. I thought that was going to be the case with one of the updates but I often get mediocre ingredients and spell energy in the high portkeys. It’s very disappointing.

We are all complaining. I mean, this was my rewards page the other day. I was so disappointed!
Personally, I do portkeys for rare ingredients.
