A new dig site has unearthed a mysterious shrine in the hubworld…
If you guessed Skull or Skeleton during last week's teaser announcement then you were right!
The Kapala Shrine is a new trader that sells rotating upgraded gear for gold. It’s like a wishing well that offers a random assortment of legendary gear that may be useful… or not depending on your build. No worries though, the shop’s content will randomly shuffle every 2 hours to keep you on your toes! This trader will give players a nice gold-sink opportunity, especially for those who haven’t progressed enough to craft their own gear. And for the next two weeks - All items will be 50% off! Speak to the skull to grant you your wish!
We also have a plethora of exciting new content moving forward into September, so keep an eye out for fun updates and exciting changes! We’re always looking for ways to make our game the best it can be. So please let your voices be heard in the survey we have listed below if you haven’t already!

Changelog
Lost Island dynamic event name changed to "Skirmish" on in-game map.

Updated upgrade prices to 250/2,000/10,000/20,000/50,000/100,000This should make higher tier upgrades much more expensive, so that crafting them no longer results in massive loss of net worth.

Kapala Shrine Teaser
You can see something flickering in and out of existence on the Hub Island. And something in the back of your head tells you for a price you might just walk away with something big. But what exactly does this new structure have to offer? Wait just a little longer as we explore and find out! We have been working on something mysterious and there’s more big updates on the horizon, so stay tuned! In the meantime we can leave you with this:
I don't have eyes, but once I did see. I once had thoughts, but now I'm empty. What am I?
