This update is slated for release on April 15th.

Tier 15 is Here!
40 new blueprints are now available! There’s more every year, isn’t there!?
For this new batch of blueprints, we have to take a step back in time. A pretty big step back in fact, considering we’re time traveling back several million years. Pack a big lunch, because routine trips to the Ancient Jungle quest will be required to craft wonderful new items such as the Behemoth armor set, the Blossomblade or the mythical Dino Nuggies.
New Quest
The untamed Ancient Jungle is the realm of dinosaurs! One would be a fool to go wandering these hunting grounds willingly. We really need those components, though.
The Ancient Jungle quest can be unlocked starting at Merchant Level 66, costing 15 billion gold.
Just plain old components won’t be enough for this tier however. Read below on the new Timewarped Components.
Timewarped Components
It seems that the return trip back to the present may have a beneficial effect on some old components!
Unique to the Ancient Jungle quest, a new option to Timewarp components will be available. Whenever you start a quest, you’ll have the option to bring in a stack of compatible components. If your quest succeeds, these components will be upgraded into a new form, which is needed to craft many Tier 15 items. If the quest fails however, you’ll lose them, so be careful!
Advanced Research
A new special node has been added to Advanced Research. For each item type, if you’ve unlocked a Tier 15 blueprint and unlocked at least one node for that type, a new research node will be made available. Unlocking it will apply all previously unlocked Advanced Research nodes of that item type to Tier 15 as well.
For example, a player who has unlocked all Advanced Research for Swords can have the Craft Speed, Surcharge Energy Reduction and XP Bonus also apply to Tier 15 swords with this upgrade.
New Worker Levels
The level cap for workers has been increased to 50, provided you have the building level for it. Levels past 45 will have a different effect; the craft time reduction is more pronounced, but only applies to items of Tier 15 or higher.
As part of this change, the experience requirement for the workers levels has been reduced. You’re welcome!
Login Calendar: A Trip Through Time
While veteran players are busy time-traveling and crafting chunky Tier 15 items, we’ve also prepared a special Login Calendar for newer players to enjoy. It contains a plethora of Prehistoric rewards to claim over 15 days!
Though it is aimed towards newer players, there’s no restriction as to who can participate.
The Trip Through Time Login Calendar will start on April 17th and run until May 5th.
Major Changes
New Building Levels
The Emerald Inn and the Tavern now have new levels to accommodate the new dungeon. The buildings of city workers now also have three new levels to support their max level of 50.
Minor Changes
- It is now possible to fully ascend an item by long-tapping the ascension button. You’ll get a warning first.
- The item details menu will now display the multiple item types a Dual Wield item is classified as, the Quiver bonus an item has, and the affinity an item has.
Balance Changes
- The maximum rank of Champions has been increased to 11+60.
- Polonia’s cap on the tier of equipment stolen has been increased by 1.
- Sigils, both True and regular, are rather old news at this point. Their fusion recipe has been simplified to help players get past Tier 11-12. They now require 10 of an appropriate quest component in exchange for 3 Sigils.
- Elysium-related Fusions (e.g. chest and components) now require Supreme Moonstones.
- Most city buildings have had their investment tick requirements lowered. You’ll need more ticks overall to reach the newly added building levels though!
- The amount of crafts required to master mid-tier blueprints has been reduced slightly.
- Slightly rebalanced minimum Hero level required to equip item tiers. Tier 15 can be equipped starting at Hero level 38.
- Rebalanced Merchant level required to unlock tiers on the market. Tier 15 can be traded on the market starting at level 65.
- The Elysium dungeon is now cheaper to unlock.
Webstore Updates
Updated Navigation
- The navigation has been visually updated to better display content within that tab at a glance and support a theoretical infinite number of tabs.
- Some improvements have also been made to scrolling through the navigation on mobile; when scrolling you will now “snap” onto the nearest button.
King Schedule
The King will return as a Guest Champion starting on April 28th until May 1st.
