Why Rewards Have Been Redistributed in the Hellevator
On the other hand, it is understandable that this strategy can make the event feel less enjoyable, as it often leads to monotonous gameplay and seems to contradict the spirit of competitive play. This means that instead of simply aiming to advance as far as possible in the Hellevator for the best rewards, players may need to adopt the aforementioned strategy to achieve optimum gains.
As a result, we randomized the rewards of the opponents and the distribution of fruits, ensuring that advancing in the Hellevator feels even more rewarding for everyone involved.
While it may initially seem otherwise, we want to reassure you that the total rewards distributed during the event have remained consistent. We understand that the distribution of different types of fruits could have been better optimized, and we genuinely appreciate your feedback on this matter. This is something we will thoughtfully consider for the next iteration of the Hellevator.
Exciting news to share: the final Hellevator rewards have been enhanced! The gold reward has seen an increase, and you can now also earn additional resources, including Arcane Splinters and Metal.

Producer's Note #32
Through the recent and upcoming closed beta tests, as well as the class survey, it is known that we are working on an expansion of the Arcane Toilet and the introduction of a new class, the Plague Doctor. This new class will be presented in a closed beta, allowing you to share your opinions and enabling us to make adjustments before the release.
In line with our motto for this year, "Back to the Community," we are currently developing a survey tool that will allow us to interact with you directly in the game and better evaluate your feedback. In the future, to participate in a survey, you will no longer need to leave the game and can conduct the survey in your chosen language. This survey function allows us to specifically gather feedback from certain player groups, for example, from all players who have fully upgraded their fortress.
A new weekend event, the World Boss, is currently in development. In this event, the entire game world will work together to protect the game world from a World Boss.
Furthermore, we will respond to the community's request and expand the existing dungeons by five dungeons. Additionally, the dependency of stamina's influence on the bonus length of the Bard's melody of vigor will be removed.
In addition to the above-mentioned content, new ideas are already being refined. We will keep you updated as soon as we are confident that these projects can be implemented.
Become the first hero on EU20!
Become the first hero on EU20! The NEW GAME WORLD EU20 is already waiting to be launched on May 23, so what are you waiting for? Create a character with your desired name on the new world today and receive 25 mushrooms for connecting it with your S&F account before the world starts next Friday! Then nothing will stand in the way when visiting the mushroom dealer.
Have a nice weekend!
Beta 16.0 - Arcane Toilet
In the upcoming week, we will host a closed beta test in which we are testing the next iteration of to the Arcane Toilet feature. In the following we will explain the adjustments made due to player feedback which was received during the last closed beta test and beyond.
Runtime: May 21-28, 2025
Platform: browser version only!
To offer you a chance to participate in closed beta tests, we will distribute a code via ingame message on May 21st, 2025, at 10 AM CEST that allows up to 2,500 registrations. First come, first served. Once the limit is reached, it may no longer be possible to sign up for the beta server. Some individual access codes will be distributed on Twitch and YouTube. Keep an eye out!
Changelog:
General
- The Aura level will be capped at 500 levels, and the Mana values required to reach an Aura level have been adjusted.
- The higher the item quality, the higher the attributes.
- The weapon damage has been adjusted and increases less sharply at high item quality.
Sacrificing
- Up to Aura level 229, one item can be sacrificed, up to Aura level 399, two items can be sacrificed, and starting from Aura level 400, three items can be sacrificed per day.
- The efficiency factor of a sacrifice is always 100%.
- Sacrificing epic and legendary items yields 50 Mana each, while the other Mana values remain unchanged.
- Items without gold value can now also be sacrificed.
- Spillover ensures no mana is wasted if the generated amount doesn't precisely match the required level completion.
- Upon item sacrifice, you'll receive back the materials used for upgrades.
Washing
- Washing no longer generates Mana.
- Washed items retain their gold value but cannot be washed again and receive a corresponding mark.
- Improvements made to weapons that are washed will be transferred to the new weapon, so invested resources are not lost, and in the case of a sale, disassembly, or sacrifice, they will be refunded according to the usual rules.

Info on Pet Find Conditions
Here is an ADJUSTMENT OF PET FIND CONDITIONS we would like to announce. We have received feedback that it can sometimes be challenging to find pets that are only findable on a specific day. Therefore, we will adjust the find conditions with the upcoming update. Pets that could previously only be found on a specific day can now be found within a three-day period before and after the original date.
Have a nice rest of your day!
