The game has changed a lot in the past few years, but the Shop hadn’t really.
So, we thought it was well past time to give it a refresh and reorganize to better reflect the game we have now.





The Shop had some issues with categories not necessarily being particularly descriptive, and some items in the shop being difficult to find, so we’ve modernized and reorganized around what you need things for.

Note: To keep things clean and tidy, we hide any categories that don’t currently have anything in them

No changes here, it just needed a new home!





The Gear Cache is a new way to find Gear! After the Gear Rework, we wanted to provide another way to find Gear directly:
• Found in Collectables > Gear
• 100 Gems to pull a piece of Gear Rare or Above
• You are guaranteed to pull a Mythic within 30 pulls from the Gear Cache





• Added cap to variant gear bonuses to 6 items equipped
• Barrier and Reflect are now consistent on the damage sources they trigger on.



• Added Continue button to Adventure menu to match Season and Story
• Added a Continue button to the end of battles in Adventures so you can skip returning to the map where possible
• Added Inventory button to end of Adventure battles
• After a conversation in Adventures, if there is only one possible next step, it will be automatically continued without needing to return to the map (where possible), bringing it more inline with the main story
• Can now use Loot Tickets even if your Gear Vault is overflowing



• Battle Pause Menu/Character Stats now expands the text out for Spells, Status Effects and Gear Set Effects, so it should now be more readable for longer descriptions
• Added a Collect All button to the Goals Tab. When Collect all is pressed, a list of all completed goals will be displayed, along with all the rewards received for collecting all those goals.
• Holiday event rewards and freebies will now use the full reward menu when needed
• Pressing back in an Adventure will now close the active node popup instead of just closing the menu



• Updated the reward display for Gear to show the Quality value, the Quality of the Elemental Mastery, and the Core Stat
• Updated reward display for basic resources to show the total amount you have
• Added additional information for how to increase resource caps (if possible), to the tooltips of Gold, Ore and food, if they are currently capped
• The Resource Cache Possible Items list in Seasons will now sort the percentage chances from highest to lowest, and condenses the list to be more readable.



• Achievements should now sync on loading the game when swapping between platforms





• Seasonal Dungeon Wealth Altars should now be rewarding Gold correctly
• Season Dungeons should be assigning enemies randomly again



• Fixed Season camera not focusing on nodes correctly after completing certain steps
• Gem of Dreams was incorrectly keeping the Big Gem number from Green Gems
• Ancient Coin material finder description been corrected

  As our veterans would remember, we introduced the Follower Crafting system way back in October 2022 in Update 1.4. The game has obviously gone through some pretty major changes since then, and with the introduction of the Gear rework, the Follower Crafting system was no longer fit for purpose as it was.
  
  The changes needed for our Crafters was, in fact, so large, that they needed more time than we had available in the 3.1 update, and then a little bit more time again.
  
  These changes will be released with 3.1.5 (target release of early June).
  
  What about the 3.1 Patch Notes?
  Don’t worry! You’ll be getting those very soon. We just wanted to get these out to you ASAP since it’s a big change.
  Just be aware that the screens are still WIP. They may change prior to release.
  
  Now, the following is some additional context on the design of the system. If you’d like to skip ahead to the changes, you can jump to “Introducing: The Forge System.”
  
  

  Forward and Back Again

  
  
  In designing this new system, in addition to having it work nicely with the Gear system, we needed to make sure it was future-proofed against other planned changes in upcoming updates, even if they aren’t around the corner. As such, the changes we’ve made to the crafters have the infrastructure built-in to support new systems and updates planned in the road ahead.
  
  This is why we’ll be referring to the Gear Crafting System as the “Forge System”.
  
  

  What is Crafting

  
  
  To be able to effectively adapt to the new Gear system, we basically needed to pull all of our crafting mechanics apart and start rebuilding it from the ground up. However, even with a complete rebuild, it was important to us that we made sure anything that could be done in the current system could still be done in the Forge System.
  
  So, we pulled it apart and there were three very clear areas of functionality:
  • Making stuff
  • Rerolling stuff
  • Making deliberate, non-random improvements to stuff
  
  The emphasis on (and within) these areas also shifts as players move from early, to mid-game, to late-game.
  
  The UI and UX of the current system were a little clunky. We had to put in new options for each type of Craft that needed to be done, and we had to tie those to a Level, and we couldn’t change their position in that list.
  
  The unlocking of various components of the system was also uneven and had gotten “uneven-er” as we added functionality. Here is how the Follower ability unlocks currently look:
  
  
  
  There were also some odd points of friction such as having limited control over the Rarity of a crafted item that we wanted to smooth out.
  
  
  
  

  How does it fit?

  
  
  The philosophy we approached the system design with was that naturally over the course of play, the expected amount of control increases, so the ‘why’ of collecting Gear changes over time. Early in the game, you’re collecting and tossing Gear relatively often because it’s more straightforward: “This thing I have now is or isn’t better than what I have.” However, late in the game, the calculations become less straightforward and more based on a strategy.
  
  Our design goal with the new Forge System was to provide more ways for new and early players to earn gear earlier on, while also introducing a much-needed piece of the puzzle for later players allowing for targeted gear decisions as part of long-term build strategies. In short, we wanted to provide an avenue to build what you needed in the later stages of the game!
  
  

  What did we do?

  
  
  Sticking with those three main functions we outlined before, we broke the system into Craft, Reforge, and Refine:
  
  • Craft does what it says on the box. It crafts Gear
  ○ Available from Follower Level 1
  
  • Reforge is your re-roll of aspects of your Gear
  ○ Available from Follower Level 10
  
  • Refine is making Gear better.
  ○ Available from Follower Level 50
  
  We broke these up along the Follower’s Levels for a couple of reasons:
  
  • The two that are the most directly useful earlier on are available when they need to be
  
  • There’s a bit of space between Craft and Reforge to avoid overwhelm early on with Toragon
  
  • Refine becomes more relevant later, and doesn’t break apart across the Levels neatly
  
  We opted for this system not to lock any particular option (Rarity, Element, Slot etc) behind a Level, but rather limit the number of possible options available.
  
  • Crafting has 6 possible options (other than Rarity and the core stat for the item) and a maximum of 4 possible choices that can be made
  ○ Up to 3 Attributes
  ○ Element
  ○ Slot
  ○ Set (requires a slot to also be chosen)
  
  • Reforge has 4 possible “aspects” that can be re-rolled, and a maximum of 3 locks that can be used to prevent an aspect from being re-rolled:
  ○ Up to 3 Attributes
  ○ Element
  
  • In the case of both Craft and Reforge, the costs depend on what is chosen and the Rarity of the item (full details in the Appendix)
  
  

  Refine

  
  Unlike Craft and Reforge, Refine unlocks in its entirety at Level 50 and is used for targeted improvement of aspects of an item.
  
  • Rarity (items Rare and above)
  • Element (items Epic and above)
  • Attributes (items Legendary and above)
  • Quality (Mythic items only)
  
  For all aspects except Element, another Gear piece (meeting various requirements) is required to be “sacrificed” in order to transfer properties or augment the target item.
  
  

  Why sacrifice?

  
  Partly because it was thematic (to us anyway) to take one item and have someone at the Forge combine it with parts of another, and partly because we wanted to provide more outlets for Gear you might be less interested in keeping around.
  
  

  Why are there Rarity restrictions on Refinements?

  
  In some cases we felt it was unlikely anyone would particularly want to use certain Refinements on things below a certain point. In others, it was because we wanted to pull out the potential for decision paralysis or maybe making a decision too hastily on something that possibly wasn’t worth it.
  
  

  A Moment for Ascension

  
  A focus in the Gear system rework was having less emphasis on upgrading specific pieces of Gear, so a completely valid question is “Okay, so why is it back now in the Forge system?”
  
  Well, part of the way the Gear system is intended to work is that Gear should be dropping more or less in-line with what is needed to progress through the game as opposed to needing to rely on upgrades and having to make calculations about what should or shouldn’t be upgraded.
  
  Rarity Refinement in the Forge System isn’t intended to be a 1:1 replacement for Gear upgrades, but rather a supplement to the Gear system intended to help players who are at a stage of fine-tuning specific Gear or builds.
  
  This is why the focus is on Crafting and Reforging before a Follower reaches Level 50 with the ability to Craft Gear at a Rarity of your choice. As players progress, there should be more and more control available through the Followers.
  
  
  
  The “Forge System” takes the functionality of our Gear Crafters and splits them out into 3 separate skills:
  
  • Craft
  ○ This is for creating new Gear pieces
  ○ As the Follower Level increases, you will be able to select more specifics about the item up to a maximum of 4
  • Reforge
  ○ “Reforge” is essentially our “Reroll” functionality. Certain aspects of an item can be randomly Reforged into something else (Attributes and Element)
  ○ As the Follower Level increases, you are able to Lock in more aspects of a Gear piece to prevent them being Reforged, up to a maximum of 3
  • Refine
  ○ Refine allows you to improve aspects of an item by sacrificing another
  
  These various skills are unlocked as follows:
  
  
  
  

  Craft

  
  
  Gear has a number of changeable “aspects”. These aspects are random by default (with the exception of Rarity), but up to 4 can be chosen specifically (depending on the Follower Level and the Rarity of the Item)
  
  ○ Slot
  ○ Set
  ○ Element
  ○ Up to 3 of 4 possible Attributes (the first Attribute on an item is the ‘core’ Attribute associated with it’s type)
  
  • The default Rarity will be set either to Common OR the last Rarity you crafted with (e.g. If the last thing you Crafted was an Epic, we are assuming you’d probably like to Craft at least an Epic the next time you open the Crafting menu)
  
  • Aspect choices are not locked to the Follower Level, only the total number of available choices
  ► e.g. At Level 1, Gemka could Craft a random Accessory for any Rarity up to Mythic; At Level 15, Gemka could Craft a random Accessory for any Rarity up to Mythic of a Chosen Element, or Slot, or with a specific chosen Attribute
  
  • Aspect choices are not locked to the Follower Level, only the total number of available choices
  ○ All aspects except Attributes change their costs with Rarity; Attribute selection is based only on the number of Attributes selected
  
  Example of crafting a random Legendary piece of Gear
  
  
  Example of crafting a Legendary piece of Gear, with the Slot and Element selected

  Reforge

  
  • Gear pieces have up to 4 aspects that can be Reforged (re-rolled). These are:
  
  ○ Up to 3 Attributes
  ○ The Element
  • Up to 3 of these aspects can be locked so they will not be re-rolled
  
  • Similar to Crafting, Follower Level does not restrict which aspects can be locked, only the number of locks available
  ► e.g. At Level 20, I can lock either one of the Attributes of an item, or it’s Element
  
  • Reforged Attributes will not have their Quality changed. The same (or equivalent) Quality will apply to the new Attribute
  • As with the current system, you will have the option to keep the original item after an item has been Reforged
  • The costs of locking various aspects are based on the number of locks used, the number of Attributes locked, and the Rarity of the item with a locked Element
  
  Example of Reforging a Legendary piece of Gear, with 2 locks available
  
  
  

  ---

  
  

  Refine

  
  
  • From Follower Level 50, certain aspects of an item can be Refined (improved or changed):
  
  ○ Rarity (items Rare and above)
  ○ Element (items Epic and above)
  ○ Attributes (items Legendary and above)
  ○ Quality (Mythic items only)
  • In addition to other costs, Rarity, Attribute, and Quality require an item to be sacrificed to transfer the desired properties to the target item
  ○ A sacrificed item can only be used once, and only for one purpose
  
  • Similar to Crafting, Follower Level does not restrict which aspects can be locked, only the number of locks available
  ► e.g. At Level 20, I can lock either one of the Attributes of an item, or it’s Element
  
  • Reforged Attributes will not have their Quality changed. The same (or equivalent) Quality will apply to the new Attribute
  • As with the current system, you will have the option to keep the original item after an item has been Reforged
  • The costs of locking various aspects are based on the number of locks used, the number of Attributes locked, and the Rarity of the item with a locked Element
  
  

  Refine Rarity

  
  • Refining the Rarity of an item takes it from its current Rarity to the next
  
  ○ An item of the next Rarity up from a matching slot is required
  ○ Item Quality is taken to the minimum for the new Rarity, if it is higher. Any new aspects will be rolled within the range of Quality for the new Rarity
  
  Example of Refining a Rare piece of Gear up to Epic
  
  
  
  My Ice Warlord's Battleaxe is now Epic
  
  

  Refine Element

  
  • Refining the Element of an item replaces it’s current Element with a new one
  
  

  Refine Attribute

  
  • Refining an Attribute of an item replaces one target Attribute of an item with a chosen one from another
  
  

  Refine Quality

  
  • Refine increases the Base Quality of an item, increasing the bonuses provided by the Attributes, Mastery, and Damage/Armor/Resistance/Block, up to the maximum Base Quality value (100%, or the upper value of the range of the stat when looking at the Quality details of an item):
  
  ○ The increase to Base Quality is universal across all aspects of an item, and based on how well the sacrificed item matches the original
  ♦ Matching Legendary Item with the same Element: +1% towards max (i.e 59% → 60%)
  ♦ Mythic Item from the same Set: +2% towards max (i.e 60% → 62%)
  ♦ Matching Mythic Item with the same Element: +5% towards max (i.e 62% → 67%)
  
  
Example:

The Elemental Damage Attribute will fall in a range between 0.5% and 11% (depending on the Gear Rarity)

My Mythic item has Elemental Damage at 5.23% (i.e. 45% of the way through the possible range)

I Refine the Quality of my Mythic, sacrificing a matching Mythic with the same Element to increase all my Mythic’s stats by +5% towards the maximum.

For my Elemental Damage specifically, this means:

Before Refine: Elemental Damage: 5.23% (45%)

After Refine: Elemental Damage: 5.75% (50%)


  
  • As this is increasing the Base Quality of an item, items that reach the relevant Quality threshold will gain the title Divine, Sacred, even Exalted and Immortal.
  ○ Honed Quality is applied on top of this, and can exceed the maximum value. Refining an item will not remove any Honing levels from it.
  
  Example of Refining the Quality of a Divine Mythic Warlord's Battle Axe
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  • “Follower Crystal” refers to the Crystal that matches the Follower you are utilizing at the time (Toragon’s Crystal if you’re Crafting with Toragon etc)
  • “Glyph” etc means the Glyph or other resource associated with the Gear a Follower can Craft (a Weapon Glyph for Gear crafted with Soulchaser)
