T12 Enchantments

Torrential rains and hurricane winds herald the coming of even more powerful elemental forces… Tier 12 enchantments are here! Boasting a value of 1 million each, they require a Perfect Runestone to craft, though neither spirits nor elements require sigils to craft. It’s the perfect addition for your top Heroes or big ticket items!

Breaking the pattern for Elements, this new set of bad boys grants a +25 bonus to their respective element, with an additional +10 when matching an Affinity. On the spirit side, you can expect improved versions of a few favorites, such as the Phoenix Spirit granting both HP regen and bonus HP in one convenient, immortal package.

Cinco de Mayo Content Pass

Get ready for the Fifth of May happening on… the third of May! It’s close enough!

This new Content Pass Season features a bunch of new content and will run over 4 weeks, with a new set of tasks to match. Be there, Mr. Palta is expecting you!

Major Unchanges

Tower of Titans Epsilon

Following the launch of Epsilon Tower, it became apparent that it was plenty difficult already! As a result, we have decided not to include Elemental Barriers for the time being. In addition, we’ve also toned down the Monster Modifiers back to standard (e.g early monsters only have one mod).

Minor Changes

Added sorting options to the Suggest menu, including Energy+ and Energy-.
Santa’s Helper Coiffe (hat customization) now has green as a base color instead of white.
Added a short intro animation to all boss monsters.
Replaced Chiseled Stones and Greater Moonstone rewards in Ascension Milestones with their new Tier 12 counterparts.

Balance Changes

Some fusions (particularly T12 fusions) now require Perfect Moonstones instead of Greater Moonstones
Some blueprints now feature two affinities (both an element and a spirit). Namely, all LCOG items now also have either Xolotl or Quetzalcoatl as a spirit affinity, depending on their tier.
Elemental Blueprints from the Molten Chest are now enchanted with Tier 12 Elements.
Added relevant elemental affinities to all Avatar: The Last Airbender blueprints that did not have one.
LCOG items of Tier 11 and higher no longer require sigils to craft. This requirement has been replaced with standard components.
The Opulent Staff’s 2nd ascension milestone has been replaced with an Opulent Jewel reduction
T12 elements enchanted on items with a matching affinity will grant +10 to their element instead of +5.
Champion Elements now scale higher with ranks (up to 125 at rank 11+9)
True Sigils now require 2 Greater Moonstones to fuse (down from 4)
Regular old sigils now require 2 Superior Moonstones (replacing 2 Greater Moonstones)

Bug Fixes

Fixed major crash on startup for some Android devices.
Fixed missing miniboss titles (e.g Legendary, Wealthy, etc).
Fixed monster names (Tower of Titans and Minibosses) not displaying properly during quests.
Removed Bear affinity from Gladiator Helm and properly assigned it to the Kodiak Helmet.
Fixed a few instances of returning players freezing upon login.
Berserkers no longer play their VFX after falling in combat.
Fixed Cinderlake’s Extreme Boss taking slightly less time than intended.
Removed some stray Tier 9 item drops from Cinderlake Hard, Extreme and its bosses.
Fixed missing cloaks from some market screens.
Fixed a disconnect related to automatic Royal Merchant renewal.
Fixed further instances of Market windows closing after purchases.
Changed one of the Cloak’s “Increased Surcharge Value for All Items” ascension milestones (it had two!?) to the intended Uncommon Resource Reduction.
Traded the Resource Regeneration Speed Ascension Milestone Upgrade between Helmets and Magician Hats (now Steel and Mana respectively).
Fixed inaccurate Quest Outlook face results when switching difficulties.
Fixed a display issue with the Pet XP bar after feeding a max level Pet.
Fixed a crash that could occur when attempting to use the "Heal All" button in the quest setup menu.
Fixed slow scrolling when using the mouse wheel in various menus.
Fixed an issue where the Elemental Barrier bar would remain displayed after being broken in quest battles.
Fixed the Fortune Zone prize menu closing unintentionally after rerolling.
Fixed claimable Royal Merchant rewards in Ascension Track not being highlighted green.
Fixed an occasional crash when unequipping items from Heroes.
Fixed some small visual glitches on the Elemental Barrier bar.

Coming up Next

We’ve received feedback that Samurai are made obsolete by Elemental Barriers. In our next update, we will allow the Samurai’s first attack to ignore this damage reduction.

Relics of the Ages Update

Shop Titans - Zesty Hamburger

This update is slated for release next week!

New Content

Tier 12

Tier 12 is finally here! If your Research Scroll stocks allow, you can look forward to crafting a new mythical and highly valuable blueprint from each item type (minus enchantments and stones… for now). Excalibur, Blackbeard’s Cannon, The Vermilion Guard armor set, or even the Philosopher’s Stone are now within reach!

This new set of items also includes a Tier 12 Mundra Potion, Mundra’s Remedy! Familiars shouldn’t drink that one!

True Sigils

Alongside Tier 12 comes new sigils, required to craft just about all of these highly powerful items. The Sigil of True Might, Grace and Spark are remarkably difficult to create… have you been hoarding epic items? Or even legendaries...?

In actuality, they’re only a small step above their lesser cousin, instead requiring a Tier 7 Flawless item in exchange for 4 True Sigils. The Tier 11 sigils of old have also received an update making them easier to fuse, read more on that below.

Extended Ascension Milestones

The Ascension Milestones for all item types (save for enchantments and stones) just got an upgrade! Ten new reward tiers have been added, offering upgrades such as reduced energy cost to Rush, reduced surcharge energy cost (Tier 11 and 12) and a chance to refund lesser sigils upon crafting T11 items.

Alongside this, we’ve revised and upgraded the appearance of the Ascension Milestones interface. We’ve also shuffled the titles around to make space for the new milestones, as the rank of “Titan” can only be held by one who has completely maxed out a line. This is a purely visual change.

New Dungeon

The Cinderlake Volcano is the new hotspot for components! Are you a bad enough dude to defeat the Crushtaceans within and steal their valuable components?

This new quest location is available for gold starting at level 65, costing 1 billion gold.

Tower of Titans Epsilon

The Epsilon tower challenge will be available for players of level 67 and up. On top of an increased challenge, players can look forward to powerful bosses, all of them packing 3 random modifiers.

Lost City of Gold Extension

With the next Opulent item being Tier 12, the number of Pure Gold required to earn it has increased. It is now located at Milestone 27, requiring 80k Pure Gold to claim.

In addition, we’ve updated the dungeon’s quest difficulties slightly. In an effort to make each step more significant (and save space), Difficulty 2 and 5 have been removed. In exchange, the difficulty preceding them (1 and 4) inherited their Pure Gold rewards. This should also make working your way through the Golem Bosses quicker and more impactful.

A new difficulty has also been added (now 11), much more difficult than the previous ones, but of course more rewarding.

With these changes in mind, be mindful when sending your parties during the next event.

Major Changes

Elemental Barriers

The craftiest, toughest monsters in the dungeons have learned a new trick! Denizens of the Cinderlake Volcano, as well as Extreme difficulty monsters, are now equipped with a magical Barrier. This barrier is very strong, but always has a weakness to an element.

So long as the barrier is active, monsters will resist 80% of incoming HP damage. Heroes of the matching element will deal damage to this barrier, equal to their own elemental score. Reducing the barrier’s HP to 0 will destroy it, allowing full damage to be dealt, so it’s well worth packing as much of the matching element as possible to destroy it ASAP!

Future Epsilon towers will also feature Elemental Barriers on some monsters. However, since players may be busy updating their Hero roster to tackle this new challenge, this month’s Tower will not feature any Elemental Barriers.

Champion Elements

With the monsters learning new tricks, Champions have risen up to the challenge to help! All Champions now have an Element, too! Starting at Rank 5, Champions will earn their first Elemental score, which will steadily keep rising until Rank 10. Enchanted familiars can increase this further.

Since Champions have no skills (aside from their leader skill, which rises with ranks), their Element serves to help against Elemental Barriers. Bringing the right Champion on a quest can make a difference!

Here are the Champions and their respective elements:

Argon: Light
Lilu: Water
Sia: Air
Yami: Dark
Rudo: Fire
Polonia: Water
Donovan: Fire
Hemma: Dark
Ashley: Earth

Collection Book Table of Contents

As requested by the community, the Collection book now has a new page to keep track of your overall collection. From there, you can have a good idea of how well your total collection fares, such as percentage completion for weapons, accessories, or overall completion.

These statistics can be arranged to either display completion based on the blueprints you own, or based on the content currently available in the game.

Minor Changes

Spellblades

Spellblades, with their “All” element, can damage any elemental barrier. In exchange for this unparalleled flexibility, their Barrier damage is only 30% of their full Element score.

Extreme Quests

Extreme quests just got trickier. All monsters from these quests now have an Elemental Barrier.

To compensate for this stricter party composition requirement, we’ve also made Extreme quests in general a bit easier.

Misc Changes

Added a Critical Hit bonus to Mundra’s Hornbow.
The progress bubble shown on blueprints in the crafting list no longer includes items being fused, only those being crafted.
The scroll for Lost City of Gold blueprints now has its own unique look.
When running Lost City of Gold quests, only the first three completed quests of each event will show the reward progress (to ensure all players know how it works). Following that, it will only be shown if a reward is unlocked.
Mundra the Moon Dragon and Evelyn the Scholar will now bring more and better Stones when they visit your shop. In addition, Evelyn will also sometimes sell Wands instead of Runestones.

Balance Changes

Added new levels to the Emerald Inn and the Tavern to support the new dungeon. Also reduced the required investments a bit for those later levels.
Reduced the amount of crafts required to upgrade and master Tier 11 items.
Sigils of Might, Grace and Spark now require a Tier 6 Superior item to fuse (originally Flawless), resulting in 2 Sigils. The other costs have also been reduced.

Bug Fixes

Fixed an issue causing some item tooltips to show an item as available to donate, despite already being part of your collection.
Fixed Familiar stats display not updating properly after enchanting when expected.
Fixed various locations where a blank secondary skill effect appeared for Heroes.
Fixed an issue that allowed users to repeatedly open the Store screen while it was already opened.
Fixed an issue with Guild Perks improperly deducting more than expected Renown when rapidly purchased.
Fixed missing SFX for Xolotl Spirit and Quetzalcoatl Spirit when enchanting an item.
Fixed Wallace coming to the player's shop informing them their guild is inactive, regardless of guild activity level.
Fixed Ashley’s skill also doubling quest speed bonuses from other sources, such as quest upgrades and guild boosts.
Fixed Guild Finder appearing as empty for all players.
Fixed an issue causing Quest Outlook faces to be inconsistent when selecting characters VS when placed in the quest.
