This update is slated for release next week!

Everyone duck for the introduction of the Backfire Hammer! This torrid torpedo-mace packs quite the punch, but also cuts the wielder’s HP by 25% at the start of a battle. It'll also boost your equipped Maces' stats by 100%. You can follow it up with some healing, or simply equip it to those weirdoes who enjoy being hurt.

We’re introducing an entirely new furniture item: the Vending Machine! This special type of rack can hold items of your choosing and will slowly sell them over time while you are offline!

The Vending Machine is limited to one per shop, but we may look at increasing this limit in the future. It will cost you 1500 Gems and can then be upgraded similar to other racks (using Gold).

Event Leaderboard Rewards (trophies, titles, badges) now have a much longer grace period allotted to claim them. Approximately one month after the event’s start. 
Keep in mind that you’ll need to have scored enough personal contribution to complete the event in order to qualify for these leaderboard rewards.

We’re trying something new here. Superior Offers and Flashback offer priority has now been inverted. In other words, purchasing a mega pack will make you eligible for the Superior portion of the pack. If the superior pack is purchased, Flashback offers will be shown afterwards.

This is very much us testing the waters, so it may or may not be a permanent change. We’re hoping it works out!

Guild Coin hoarders rejoice! It is now possible to open 10 Grab Bags at the same time.

We followed up on a widely requested feature and reworked the blueprint details screen to include a new tab showcasing the Airship Power for Dragon Invasion and Favor value for King’s Caprice, even if those events aren’t currently active. We also took this opportunity to move over other item stats previously hidden behind a tooltip to this new tab.

• For party preset enjoyers, the quest screen will now remember (between sessions) your last used tab between the Hero list and the Party Preset list.
  
• It is now possible to mass invest in a capped out building.
  
• Aurasongs and Familiars assigned to Guest Champions will stay with those champions until their next visit.

• Significantly increased the Worker XP obtained from Dual Wield and Quiver items.

The King will return as a Guest Champion starting on March 3rd until March 6th.

The format in which currency displays in the webstore is now localized based on your browser preferences. 

For example, a user in a United States locale will see the USD pricing displayed as $18.99, while a user in a Canada locale would see it displayed as US$18.99. The format will differ based on the standard set in your preferred locale.

You can change your locale by going into your browser language settings and selecting a language and region preference.

• Champion requests will no longer ask for items you cannot craft, typically premium blueprints for which you do not own the worker.
  
• Fixed an issue where Velites would wield the Goldmane Guard upside down.
  
• The Command Console decoration no longer accumulates snow during the winter snow event.
  
• Fixed the Ancestor Spirit filter missing from Advanced Search.
  
• Fixed push notifications not working for some events, such as Lost City of Gold.
  
• The Platinum Pair blueprint no longer requires two Tier 3 resources, the Ether cost has been removed and an Iron cost added.

This update is slated for release next week!

Curl up and pay attention, for it’s time for a new Lunar New Year content pass! This slithery pass contains some surprisingly scaly stuff, such as blueprints and customizations. Complete tasks and earn Snake Fangs to unlock them!

Players who complete every task in this content pass will receive the Venomous title, but it’s not a blank card to be toxic!

The event will run from January 21st until February 18th.

If dogs and dragons aren't your style, may we interest you in this extra lengthy companion?

This danger noodle is eager to slither around your shop, and is exclusive to the Year of the Snake content pass!

For display purposes only. Not indicative of actual rewards.
It’s time for our yearly red envelopes! Login every day between January 23rd and February 11th to claim rewards!

We’ve also taken this opportunity to significantly revamp our login calendar mechanic. Not only does it look a bit nicer, it also allows for extra flexibility on the player’s part. The event will run for 20 days with 14 rewards available to claim. Only one reward can be claimed per day, but you’ll have some extra wiggle room in case you miss a day or two! Unlike previously, rewards are now claimed in order, so it is no longer possible to skip over and miss a reward by missing a single day.

Log in at any time during the Login Calendar to receive a free Snake Statue, as well as a skin variant depending on your platform! Nobody’s stopping you from logging in on different platforms to claim them all either. The different platforms are Android, iOS, Epic Games Store, and Steam!

But wait, there’s more! Login anytime between February 10th and the 14th for another giveaway! The Lantern Pond decoration! It’s pretty big!

The Sia and Yami blitz passes are now available for new players.

Following the Guild Finder change a few months back, we’ve now also updated the Guild Member Finder tool. Beyond simply searching for a specific player, it will now also automatically list a few players that the game thinks could be a good match for your current guild. From there, you can send an invitation. There’s no guarantee they’ll accept, though.

• Increased the character limit for promo codes from 14 to 20.

Another round of optimization has been done. Internal reports show reductions in RAM usage by up to 100 MB on iOS, and up to 200MB on Android and PC. Possible memory leak issues have also been resolved. We still recommend playing on devices with at least 4GB of RAM.

In other news, also optimized other inefficiencies during long play sessions, particularly those that involved trips to the city screen. Something about generating thousands of shoes.

• All Platinum items now have the Ancestor Spirit as their spirit affinity, replacing the Quetzalcoatl.
  
• The Silken Assailants blueprint now requires steel rather than ironwood.
  
• The Owl Wing Wand now has a dual affinity with Water due to its connection with Lilu.
  
• Slightly increased the value of the Platinum Wand.
  
• Platinum Wand upgrades now reduce the Platinum Bangle cost by 1.

Some backend improvements have been made to the login process to make it a bit more reliable and communicate errors better. We will continue to look at improving the experience further where possible.

Sessions (i.e. being logged in) can now be retained on up to five clients (devices, browsers, etc.), this should allow you to remain logged in on your phone and PC at the same time for purchases.

As an added security option (given the increase to up to five simultaneous sessions mentioned above), you can now force logout of all other existing sessions by using the "Sign in and sign out of all other devices" option when signing into the webstore. 

Useful for when you no longer have access to a device you previously granted a longer session retention period to and you want to invalidate it.

By default, the webstore will now only remember your session for 2 hours (this doesn't apply to existing sessions). To increase this session retention period to 30 days simply enable the "Remember me for 30 days" option when signing into the webstore.

I’ll be available as a guest Champion on February 3rd until the 6th!

• Fixed an issue where Reinhold’s Caprices would sometimes ask for multiple premium blueprint lines at once. One at a time, please!
