Tier 14 is Here!
A whopping 38 blueprints are now available, and they’re super valuable! Can these numbers even fit on the screen!? You might need a bigger phone!
If you haven’t fused all your Research Scrolls, look forward to the cursed sword Durandal, the Tincture of Finality potion or the Hell’s Gate shield! Need some help crafting this prestigious new tier? Read below!
Tier 14 can be equipped by level 38 Heroes, and can be traded on the market by players at level 66.
Advanced Research!
These Tier 14 crafting times sure are impressive! Thankfully, the city’s Workers have found a solution; Advanced Research! Upon reaching level 36, each Worker will reveal a set of possible upgrades for their preferred item types.
The upgrades are the same across all item types (with few exceptions), and allow you to improve Craft Speed, Surcharge Energy Cost and Merchant XP of their blueprint types. The XP bonus applies to all item types and also stacks, so you can really supercharge your Merchant levels.
At first glance, it may look similar to the Talent Tree, but have no fear! Your precious Talent points are not needed here. Given enough time and investment, all Advanced Research can be unlocked. Each upgrade simply requires both Gold and Research Scrolls, although Gems can also be used.
New Quest!
Among the clouds lies Elysium, the domain of the gods! A place untouched by foolish mortals… until today! There’s bound to be valuables around!
Upon these heavenly grounds roams the Avatar (no, not that one), imbued with a spark of divinity and a mandate to punish all interlopers. But where have all the gods gone?
Elysium is available for 10G gold for players at level 64 or above.
Major Changes
City Worker Visitors
Visitors from the city that come to sell items will now be limited to the highest blueprint tier you’ve crafted +3. That is, if the highest tier you’ve crafted is 5, worker visitors could bring bundles of items up to tier 8, provided you own some. It is no longer required for you to have crafted those items for them to be valid.
This is an iteration and compromise over a recent bugfix (which didn’t even work) intended to prevent worker visitors from selling items you’ve never crafted. We understand that receiving highly valuable items you normally wouldn’t have access to is exciting and rewarding, but would also like to prevent cases where newer players are asked to buy items worth several thousand times their net worth*.
*Astute observers may notice that the previous bugfix coincided with the Darkness Millennium blueprint, a Tier 13 blueprint that was given out to all players.
Minor Changes
Due to Terms of Service conflicts with iOS, the Promo Code feature has been disabled on Apple devices. We are currently investigating supporting promo codes on our website for these players.
The “Bonus rewards” from Dragon Invasion are no longer hidden before reaching the grand prize.
Craft qualities with a chance of 20% or higher will no longer display a celebration screen upon claiming. Typically applies to Superior quality during Quality events or low tier items.
Balance Changes
Polonia can now loot items up to Tier 11, up from 10.
Reduced the amount of crafts needed to upgrade and master mid-tier blueprints (tier 6 to 10).
Slightly reduced the amount of Research Scrolls required to unlock mid-tier blueprints (Tier 7 to 10).
The introduction of the massive XP bonuses from Advanced Research had us notice that some blueprint lines had disproportionately high XP values. They have been reduced down to be more in line with other types (Spears, Axes, Rings and Shields were most affected).
The Carpenter is now the primary worker for Axes of Tier 4 and higher, to better match his ownership of Axes under Advanced Research.
The Emerald Inn and the Tavern have received new levels to accommodate the new quest. Their investment requirements have also been reduced.
Void Dimension and Cinderlake Volcano no longer feature Elemental Barriers on Easy, Medium and Hard difficulty. The bosses still have them, however.
King Schedule
King Reinhold will personally join your ranks as a Guest Champion on April 29th, leaving on May 2nd.
