Collection Book Improvements
You have long toiled away at the Collection Book, filling its pages with legendary items. But have you ever wondered what the collection book could do for you in return?
Starting in this update, it will now be possible to purchase antique blueprints from within the collection book! Standard conditions apply; the item must be an antique, and in some cases, your account must be old enough to claim the item. One new condition however is that you must master a blueprint of the same line that is one tier above (or higher). For example, mastering a Tier 14 Wand will make all antique Wands of Tier 13 and below available to unlock using Antique Tokens at their standard cost. Until a new tier releases, Tier 14 items remain exclusive to offers and the Antique Store.
As a small bonus, the Antique Store now features a 15% discount on blueprints.
Gem Fountain
This special fountain is a new offer you don’t want to miss. For the cost of $4.99 (USD), you’ll receive 550 gems instantly alongside the Gem Fountain decoration. The Gem Fountain will then generate 50 gems daily for 30 days! You’ll need to login daily though, otherwise that day’s gems will be lost.
Once the duration runs out, the Gem Fountain will go dormant until the offer is purchased again, granting all of its bonuses (including the initial gems) once more.
Major Changes
Superior Packs
Superior Packs just got a bit superior-er! They now follow a format similar to Mega Packs, offering a bundle of new content in each half, or the complete package at a discount. Superior Packs now also contain two blueprints (with one typically belonging to a Premium line) and a few customizations or decorations.
Talent Tree Refunds
By popular demand, it is now possible to refund Talent points individually. Each point now costs 50 gems to refund. The cost of refunding an entire tree still caps out at 500 gems, so it may be a beneficial option for major changes to your playstyle. Nothing beats a Refund Token, of course.
Minor Changes
- When using the Coincidental Preparations (chance to instantly complete a quest) talent alongside a Compass-type booster, the booster will be refunded if the quest autocompletes.
- Many players learn very late about the existence of the Guild’s Choice mechanic for city buildings. We’ve made it a bit more eye-catching.
- The store button is now displayed on the main HUD.
Balance Changes
- Significantly increased the Merchant XP value of Dual Wield blueprints.
- Blueprints found in the Antique Store now have a 15% discount.
- The Vending Machine Surcharge chance now caps out at 20%.
- The Vending Machine’s unique stats (Surcharge chance and sale frequency) now cap out as early as level 16, so you won’t need to spend many Dragonmarks to get the most of it.
- The Vending Machine’s Max Energy bonus is now double that of a regular rack.
In the longer term, we’ll be looking at more substantial changes to the Vending Machine to improve its usefulness and fun factor.
Webstore Updates
Antique Token Bundles
Just in time for the Collection Book upgrade, you can now purchase Antique Tokens directly from the webstore! Six different bundles are available.
King Schedule
The King will return as a Guest Champion starting on March 31st until April 3rd.
