Faerûn's Savage Frontier has no shortage of dangers, but that hasn't stopped the citizens of Triboar from carving out a living in this picturesque stretch of fertile northern farmland.

This year, however, the people of Triboar are in need of aid. As the Highharvestide Festival approaches, bandits have begun causing trouble for farmers attempting to bring in their harvests, and it's up to the Champions to put an end to it!

Highharvestide 8 marks the beginning of Year 8 Events in Idle Champions and the beginning of Idle Champions 7th Anniversary Celebration! That's not confusing, is it?

But wait, there's more -- today also marks the launch of our latest Saturday Morning Squad member: Bobby the Barbarian!

Bobby is the first of the Featured Champions for Highharvestide 8, with the second, Rosie Beestinger, launching on Wednesday, September 11. Rosie's rework has been a long time coming, and we are excited to finally share with you what we've done.

Read on to learn more about Highharvestide 8 and the 7th Anniversary Celebration!


HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!

We are excited to be celebrating the 7th Anniversary of Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms along with the launch of our first Year 8 Event. Huge thanks to everyone who has helped Idle Champions along the journey so far - and be sure to log in daily for the next week to unlock your free daily rewards!

Players who unlock at least four of the daily rewards during the 7th Anniversary Celebration will unlock Presto (if he hasn't been unlocked yet) along with the Harvestguard Presto Skin, 3 Gold Presto Chests and an Epic Feat!

Bobby is the youngest of the group that was transported to the magical world of Dungeons & Dragons. As a brave and loyal Barbarian, he wields a powerful magical club that enhances his strength. Bobby has close ties to his sister Sheila and his pet unicorn, Uni. Despite his impulsiveness, Bobby's courage and determination are key assets in the search to find the way back home.

Learn more about Bobby in his Champion Spotlight. Bobby arrives today with the launch of Highharvestide!

Weighing in at just under 30 pounds and with a grandmotherly demeanor befitting her advanced age, Rosie Beestinger is easily mistaken for someone on the wrong side of the 'aggressor/victim' relationship. But this is a mix-up that few people make more than once.

Learn about Rosie's upcoming rebalance in her 2024 Champion Spotlight launching on Friday, September 6. The Rosie Rebalance arrives on Wednesday, September 11 at the beginning of Highharvestide Week 2.

Ellywick Tumblestrum is the greatest bard in the multiverse, and joined Idle Champions back in year 4 with her triumphant song! But every performer needs to adjust their shows to make them better for the next tour. So this year Ellywick is getting an update to her set list during Ahghairon's Day!

Thanks to a lucky draw from the notorious Deck of Many Things, Ellywick Tumblestrum is now the Greatest Bard in the Multiverse! Her magnificent music has dazzled beings across many planes, including royalty from the Feywild. The Summer Queen and the Queen of Air and Darkness were so moved by her performance that they gifted the bard her exquisite instrument, the beautiful lute Morningmist. She tells tales of her amazing adventures at the Witchlight Carnival, aided by her frog companion Groak.

Ellywick is a Support, Gold Find, and Healing Champion who uses the Deck of Many Things to augment her abilities. When you want her bardic skills to inspire your formation, she can be swapped out with Tyril in seat 10.

Check out our Champion Spotlight Video embedded below for a quick overview of Ellywick's abilities, and read on to get all of the details!

It's that time of year again when the citizens of Waterdeep come together to celebrate Ahghairon - the first Open Lord of Waterdeep. But this year the Champions don't have time to join in the festivities. The current Open Lord of Waterdeep has an important mission for them, and when Laeral Silverhand calls - the Champions will always answer!



Ahghairon's Day 7 has arrived and we're doing things a little differently this time around! Today, you can unlock a reworked Rust on the Harbour, the Tabaxi Rogue from the Oxventurers, played by Johnny Chiodini. Then, next week on August 14th, you'll be able to unlock a reworked Ellywick Tumblestrum, the Gnome (greatest) Bard (in the multiverse), from Wild Beyond and Witchlight and Magic: The Gathering. Both of these Champions received updates to their mechanics to better fit your formations. You can learn more about Rust in his Champions Spotlight linked below and Ellywick's Champion Spotlight that will go live this Friday, August 9th.

• Rust on the Harbour
• Ellywick Tumblestrum
• Flex Champions
• Event Theme: Masquerade Ball
• Event Augments

Rust on the Harbour is a former pirate who gave up a life at sea because it was far too wet. His deadly skills are in contrast to his sweet nature and short attention span, and he enjoys seeing others succeed even if they are supposed to be antagonists. Now trying life as an adventurer on land, he'll lend his roguish skills to anyone who can give him that which his heart desires most: one gold piece.

Rust is a Support and Gold Find Champion whose excitement to find coin helps the rest of the formation increase their gold find. When you need his assistance in the formation, he'll be counting his coin in seat 11 opposite Jamilah.

We are fortunate to get to work with a huge variety of liveplay D&D series, but it's a rare treat to be able to include the Dungeon Master as one of the Content Creators who bring a Champion to our game. So we're very happy that this Champion from the Oxventure crew from Outside Xbox and Outside Xtra comes from DM Johnny Chiodini! They created Rust as their character for a Saltmarsh campaign, and brought the supportive tabaxi in as an NPC for Oxventure to enjoy. Along with their impressive DM skills, Johnny has made content for Eurogamer, GameSpot, and Dicebreaker, and currently creates videos about tabletop and video games for their Patreon.

Role: Support, Gold Find

Eligible for Patrons: Vajra, Zariel, Elminster (until August 7th, 2027)

Seat: 11 (Jamilah)








Rust has received a rework that supercharges his gold find build-around, especially the buffs he gives and how much better he is at holding on to his shiny gold piece. His new abilities let him affect the weather, decrease cooldowns, and generally provide more bonuses to his affiliation and his fellow gold find Champions!


Rust has two different attacks that he rotates through. He attacks once with Bang Bang, then drops his pistols and will attack with his Rapier three times before retrieving the pistols and starting over.

• Bang Bang - Rust shoots a random enemy with his pistols, once from each pistol.

• Stabby Stabby - Rust leaps out and stabs a random enemy with his Rapier once.

• Hello, Friends! - Rust increases the damage of all Champions by 400% for each Champion in the formation with the Gold Find role or the Oxventurers Guild affiliation, stacking multiplicatively.
• One Gold Piece - Assuming Rust does not already have one, he has a 10% chance to find a shiny gold piece after any kill that drops gold (not just his own). Each time Rust finds a shiny gold piece he gains a Riches stack. Rust increases the effect of Hello, Friends by 10% for each Riches stack he has, stacking multiplicatively. Rust loses his shiny gold piece whenever you use his ultimate ability. Riches stacks are capped at the highest area unlocked / 5, rounded up.
• Rust For Hire - Rust increases your gold find by 400%.
• Highest Bidder - Rust increases the damage of all Champions by 100% for each order of magnitude of your Gold Find percentage, stacking multiplicatively.
• Rags to Riches - Whenever Rust is holding a shiny gold piece, increase the effect of Hello, Friends by 200%. Whenever Rust is NOT holding a shiny gold piece, increase the effect of Rust For Hire by 200%.

• Get Rich Quick - When Rust uses his ultimate, all other Champions with the Gold Find role or Oxventurers Guild affiliation have their remaining ultimate cooldowns reduced by 10%.
• Even More Riches - Increase the cap of One Gold Piece's Riches stacks by 20% for each Champion in the formation with the Gold Find role or Oxventurers Guild affiliation, stacking multiplicatively.
• Rust's Fever Dream - Whenever Rust uses his ultimate ability, the weather changes to "raining gold", causing gold coins to rain from the sky. You gain gold equal to 5% of a monster kill (including your gold find modifier) in the current area every second.

• Cannonball! - Rust loads himself into a cannon and fires himself toward the enemies, dealing damage in a large area upon landing. If Rust has a shiny gold piece, he drops it while flying through the air.

• What's Lost Is Found Again - Gain 300 of Rust's One Gold Piece Riches stacks in a single adventure.

Gold Devourer - Rust increases your damage based on your total gold find. Use gold find buffing Champions in your formation to boost his support abilities!

• Rust begins in the formation. He can't be moved or removed from the formation.
• The Devourer appears as a secondary boss on area 25. It must be defeated in order to advance.
• Gold Find is reduced by 99%.

  • Tier 2: Complete Area 350.
  • Tier 3: Complete Area 800.

  Heads or Tails

Wren woke up in the Mortuary with the Champions and, like them, had no memory of who she was. The talking skull, Morte, gave her a name and from there she journeyed with the Champions on a quest to discover who they were. Along the way, disaster struck twice and Wren was killed - but each time she quickly returned in the form of herself from somewhere else in the Multiverse!

Wren is a glitch Champion where you get to pick her form. Will you choose the Dwarf Monk, focusing on her ability to deal damage? Will you choose the Tabaxi Barbarian, focusing on her ability to protect her allies? Or will you choose the Warforged Sorcerer, where she debuffs her enemies? Whatever form you pick will show up in seat 3 next to Nayeli.

Unlock Wren in the Twice Through the Great Wheel Adventure Variant and learn more about her in our Champion Spotlight!

"It's nice at least knowing this is me. A form of me at least. I just can't stop thinking about who they were and where they've been. I just hope I'm doing this new form justice."



Getting a second chance at life is usually a rare gift, but what if you have to re-learn who you are every time? Will you make the same decisions, or try something new? Wren was faced with remaking herself again and again, and now uses all of the skills she has gained from coming back to life as a glitched Champion to become a new kind of hero!
