After venturing deep into The Mournland of Eberron to secure a third piece of the Rod of Seven Parts, the Champions are moving on to another dangerous destination: Barovia, the domain of Count Strahd von Zarovich.

The next piece of the Rod of Seven Parts is held inside the Village of Barovia within a magically sealed manor. Unfortunately for the Champions, this domain of dread has a Darklord who takes keen interest in visitors...

For the next Vecna: Eve of Ruin adventures, the Champions will venture into Barovia's infamous Death House.

Note: You will need to have completed the previous two Vecna: Eve of Ruin adventures, A Cause for Kas and The Ruined Colossus, in order to access these new adventures.

On Wednesday, October 16, 2024 we will introduce a new unique currency, Platinum, to Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms. Moving forward, Platinum will be the primary way to purchase items from the in-game Shop.

Introducing Platinum will dramatically increase efficiency and flexibility behind the scenes. It allows us to bring in new features like Daily Rewards, where players can claim Platinum and other rewards by playing the game, and Weekly Offers, which will give players more freedom to purchase individual items normally bundled into packs.

With this update we are also introducing Platinum Chests, a new tier of Chests only available through Platinum purchases that grants significantly increased item levels. Platinum Chest Packs also contain double the number of chests compared to Gold Chest Packs. Due to the significance of this change, we will be retroactively crediting additional Platinum Chests to eligible purchases made since September 1, 2024 when this update goes live.

As part of these exciting changes, all of our in-game shop items and platform DLC have had their pricing reviewed and updated. It was important to us that the switch to Platinum did not increase individual item prices - in fact, many items now come in at a slightly lower cost overall than before. For example, Theme Packs and Renown Packs have had their prices reduced 17% and 20%, respectively*. While the switch to Platinum applies to most in-game shop items, a select number of packs will remain as real money purchases on individual platform stores.

Overall, your money will go much further in this new system, and as an added bonus, your first purchase of each Platinum Pack option will reward double Platinum!

For additional information, please read the FAQs for each topic below.


*Prices for Theme Packs and Renown Packs reduced 17% and 20%, respectively when purchasing an equivalent platinum pack as the original $27.99 Theme Packs and $59.99 Renown Packs.

Please note that screenshots in this blog reflect a work in progress version of the Platinum, Daily Rewards, Weekly Offers, and Platinum Chest update. The finalized versions may differ in layout or appearance.





Platinum is a unique currency that can be used to purchase items in the shop.

Platinum is primarily purchased for real money in the in-game shop, but small amounts can also be earned in-game. You can claim free Platinum every day from your Daily Rewards. Small amounts of Platinum also occasionally appear as a free item in the Weekly Offers shop.

Platinum can be used in the Shop to purchase Chests, Champions, Packs, Wild Offers, and items in the Weekly Offers shop.

The Weekly Offers shop offers five unique items each week for a variety of discounts. The items can include familiars, golden epic equipment, skins, and epic feats from retired packages (otherwise known as the wild offer pool), as well as chests, Champions, potions, rare feats, and more. Most items in the Weekly Offers shop cost Platinum, but some cost gems, and some items are even free! If you want to get more offers each week, you can reroll individual offers for a small amount of Platinum. Check back every week to see what items are available for you!

Each day you can claim free Platinum and other items from your Daily Rewards. If you miss a day, you miss those rewards, so make sure to play the game and claim the rewards every day!

For a small amount of real money, you can unlock Daily Boost. This grants a moderate amount of Platinum upfront and then increases all of the Platinum rewards you claim from Daily Rewards for 30 days.

Platinum as an in-game currency offers several key advantages over only using real money:

• Earn Platinum for Free: This allows us to reward our players in-game with currency that can be used to purchase items in the shop that would otherwise be sold for real money. All you have to do is play the game!
  
• More Flexibility: Not only does this allow us to easily align sales across platforms, but with the added Weekly Offers system, it allows more freedom to purchase individual items that are normally bundled together.
  
• More Efficiency: This will allow us to reduce the amount of DLC we create on various platform storefronts, saving significant time behind the scenes. Instead, items will go directly into the in-game shop.

Some packs are available for real money so that Idle Champions can continue to be included in platform sales events and promotions. These packs and their unique contents will not be available for Platinum until after they are retired and their items enter the Wild Offer pool.

All existing items are either equal in cost or cheaper than they were previously due to the bonuses you can get by purchasing larger denominations of Platinum at once. There are some cases where, due to the Platinum pack sizes, you may need to buy a pack that contains more Platinum than you currently need in order to make a purchase. However, the leftover Platinum can still be used to purchase additional items - and if it is not enough to purchase something else, it can be saved up and combined with free Platinum from Daily Rewards until it is enough.

Please see the chart below. Additionally, as a bonus for players dipping their toes into the new Platinum Shop, the first purchase of Platinum at each of the price tiers will reward DOUBLE Platinum!





Each day, you can claim free Platinum and other items from your Daily Rewards. There are seven days per reward set, and if you miss a day then you miss out on that reward.

For a small amount of real money, you can unlock Daily Boost. This grants a moderate amount of Platinum up front and then increases all of the Platinum rewards you claim from Daily Rewards for 30 days. You can retroactively claim your additional Platinum on the day you purchase Daily Boost even if you've already claimed that day's rewards.




Your Weekly Offers shop offers five unique items each week for a variety of discounts. The items can include familiars, golden epic equipment, skins, and epic feats from retired packages (otherwise known as the wild offer pool), as well as chests, Champions, potions, rare feats, and more. Most items in the Weekly Offers shop cost Platinum, but some cost gems, and some items are even free!

The rarity of each offer indicates how big the discount is relative to the largest Weekly Offer discount you could see for that item. Different items have different discount rates, so a rare (blue) discount on one item could be different from a rare discount on another.

If you want to get more offers each week, you can reroll individual offers for a small amount of Platinum. Each reroll will generate a new offer for a random item with a rarity at least as high as the old offer.

They're free! Enjoy! Be sure to check your offers every week in case there's a free item for you!




Platinum Chests refer to Platinum-level Chests, a new more powerful tier of chests above Gold-level chests.

When you purchase chests with Platinum you now will, in most cases, receive a pack of Platinum-level chests instead of Gold-level chests. Platinum Chest Packs contain twice as many chests as Gold Chest Packs, so a purchase that used to award 7 Gold-level chests now awards 14 Platinum-level chests. As an example, buying an Artemis Skin & Feat Pack will now award 14 Platinum Artemis Chests, instead of 7 Gold Artemis Chests. Platinum Chests can not currently be obtained without spending Platinum.

Platinum chests contain the same items at the same odds as Gold chests, and they even share an epic pity timer with Gold-level chests, but they have one important distinction: duplicate equipment found in Platinum Chests awards 30 additional item levels. When combined with the increased number of chests awarded in packs, this means that Platinum Chest Packs increase a Champion's average item level by considerably more than Gold Chest Packs, granting far more power and progression.

Yes. Supply Chests, Modron Component Chests, and Glory of Bahamut Chests do not have Platinum-level versions, as they do not contain Champion equipment.


We understand that changes like this can seem scary. We invite you to check out Developer Insights on https://www.twitch.tv/cnegames at 2:00 PM Pacific Time on October 10 where our two co-founders, David and Justin, will be discussing and answering questions related to the changes. Don't forget to check back on October 16th to start collecting Platinum from your Daily Rewards!

A young Eladrin woman, raised to be the Queen of Koshmarr, what was meant to be an idyllic life took a dark turn on the night of her wedding. Pulled into the machinations of greater powers, she found herself in Mordent, now one of the many wandering ghosts. A person of great interest both to Azalin Rex and Strahd, she sought to negotiate her freedom from these dread domains. Her longtime companions and their newfound friends wanted the same and imbued her soul into Desmond’s sword. As they traveled in search of returning her soul to her body, Voronika took matters into her own hands and used the Crown of the Raven Queen to defeat Zybilna and cause the fall of Prismeer. This action drew the mists to Voronika and soon she discovered herself a new darklord in her domain of Koshmarr.

Voronika has received a significant rework to help streamline and simplify her overall design. For details about Voronika's updated design, read on...


Patron Eligibility: Mirt, Vajra, Zariel, Elminster (until October 9th, 2027)

• Produce Flame (magic) - Voronika creates a flame in her hand which she fires at a random enemy. If Voronika has achieved her Darklord form, the target is lit on fire and takes 1 second of BUD damage every second for 5 seconds.

• Wed, then Undead - After being killed on her wedding night, Voronika became a ghost. The following rules apply:
  
  • Voronika can be attacked like normal and she can be "killed", at which point it stops granting all effects like any dead Champion would.
  • Voronika counts as "undead" for the purposes of effects that care about dead Champions (Desmond), but "alive" for all other purposes. She still counts as undead even after reaching her Darklord form.

• Puppet Master - Voronika claims the BUD-setting Champion as her Puppet. The damage of her chosen Puppet is increased by 100%. Voronika only changes her Puppet if a different Champion is the BUD-setting Champion for more than 30 seconds in a row. Voronika's Puppet gains the Black Dice Society affiliation.
• Calculating Guidance - Voronika increases the damage of all Champions in one column in front of her by 100%. Voronika's key allies are members of the Black Dice Society. The effect of this ability is increased by 100% for each key ally in the formation. This stacks additively until Voronika completes her Search for the Crown, when it changes to stack multiplicatively.
• Search for the Crown - Voronika's search for the Crown of the Raven Queen requires her to complete 3 goals. When Voronika completes all 3 goals, she acquires the crown, transforms into her Darklord Form, unlocks her ultimate attack, and improves her base attack. Her goals include:
  
  • Voronika reaches level 750
  • Use 50 Ultimate Attacks with other Champions
  • One additional goal unlocked by her first Specialization choice.
• Speed Run - The effect of Puppet Master is increased by 10,000%. This value multiplicatively decreases by 10% five minutes after the adventure starts and decreases by another 10% for every minute after that, but doesn't decrease after Voronika has completed her Search for the Crown.
• Ultimate Power - Voronika increases the effect of Calculating Guidance by .1% for each use of an Ultimate while she is in the formation, stacking multiplicatively. Caps at 100,000 stacks. These stacks persist until reset.

• Embrace Evil - For the third Quest for the Crown goal, Calculating Guidance's key allies must kill 2,500 enemies. The key allies for Calculating Guidance now also include Champions who have the Evil alignment.
• Hunt The Favored - For the third Quest for the Crown goal, you must kill 500 enemies who are the Favored Foe of any Champion in the formation. The key allies for Calculating Guidance now also include Champions who have a Favored Foe.
• Weaken The Fools - For the third Quest for the Crown goal, you must apply 1750 Debuffs to enemies. The key allies for Calculating Guidance now also include Champions who have the Debuff role.

• Battle Magic - Voronika's Puppet additionally casts an explosive magic missile at a random target after each attack which deals 1000% of their normal damage to all enemies in a small area.
• Powerful Focus - Voronika's Puppet has all of their incoming positional damage effects increased by 75%, and their basic attack now knocks back any enemies it hits a short distance.
• Strike First, Strike Hard - Voronika's Puppet attacks 1.0 seconds faster and their damage is increased by 150% for each Champion adjacent to them, stacking multiplicatively.

• Horrifying Visage - Voronika moves in front of the party, magically pushing back all monsters a short distance, especially the ones in front. All enemies take ultimate damage, and then all surviving enemies deal 90% less damage for 30 seconds. In addition, the boss/enemy enrage timer fills 200% slower for 30 seconds.

  Available in the new Vampire Hunter Voronika Theme Pack or for 50,000 Gems.

Welcome to our preview for the Liar's Night Event Augments!

Our second Year 8 Event launches on Wednesday, October 2nd, and marks the debut of our first Augment to become a permanent Event feature! Liar's Night 8 will feature two returning Augments and two new Augments. For more information about which Event Augments will be active, read on!

Event Augments are unique modifiers to each event that can enhance almost any aspect. When M-M-M-ulti-Tier hit the scene on Ahghairon's Day, it was clear that this upgrade was exactly what the Augment system was made for. Player sentiment reinforced our gut feeling that M-M-M-ulti-Tier was an Augment that needed to stay. It remained as an Augment in Highharvestide, and as of Liar's Night next week, it has graduated to become a permanent Event feature!

• Permanent Event Feature: M-M-M-ulti-Tier
  
  Description: Completing an event variant in a high enough area will award multiple tiers of progress.

• Augment 1: Boon Enhancements (Returning Augment)
  Description: An additional boon buff at each level increases gems dropped from bosses.

• Augment 2: Auto-Equip (New Augment)
  Description: Event Champions whose recruitment adventure or variants you complete gain common rarity equipment in all slots, if they don't already have better.

• Augment 3: Auto-Blacksmith (New Augment)
  Description: Every tier two or higher event variant completed automatically applies 100 Tiny Blacksmithing Contracts to the variant's Champion's equipment for free!

• Augment 4: Worth The Wait (Returning Augment)
  Description: Rebalanced Champion Voronika will unlock at the start of week two of this event, and completing her tier 2+ variants awards double chests!

Note: Similar to our rollouts in August and September, the spotlight blogs for the two Featured Champions next month will also be spread out, with Kas the Bloody Handed releasing tomorrow, September 27th, and Voronika's releasing next Friday, October 4th.

We hope you enjoy these Event Augments! Please tell us about your experiences with Augments in Idle Champions. The best way for us to hear your feedback would be for you to join our community on an officially-supported platform:

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.

Originally released in March 2019, Rosie Beestinger is a sassy Halfling Shadow Monk created by Kate Welch for Acquisitions Inc: The "C" Team. And now it is time for a Rosie rework!

Rosie has been significantly reworked to better lean into her niches - adventures with ranged enemies, and formations with younger Champions. In addition, she has been given a new niche as the first Champion who can affect the BUD decay rate. For more information about Rosie's updated design, read on...


Patron Eligibility: Mirt, Elminster (until September 11th, 2027)

• 
  Shadow Step - Rosie Shadow Steps behind one of the three closest enemies at random and hits them with a flurry of blows.

• Sassy - Rosie deals +400% increased damage for every Champion in the formation younger than she is, stacking multiplicatively.
• Deflect Missiles - Rosie gains a deflect stack every time she attacks. She can store up to 100 deflect stacks at once. Whenever an enemy attacks the formation with a ranged/magic attack, Rosie consumes a deflect stack and reflects it back at the attacker. The reflected attack deals Rosie's damage with a 100% additively increased chance of dealing a critical hit. This effect can trigger as often as necessary, as long as Rosie has deflect stacks available.

Thanks for playing, and here's to another 7 years of adventure!

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.
